Lots of late war planes?

Further, I also get a bit of a warm-fuzzy knowing I am spending my time denying those same pickers their opportunity to operate freely.

This right here is a large part of why I alt monkey.  Being able to climb does not mean you get a free pass into my airspace.  It's the best when they fight, but the vast majority you find 20k+ immediately dive out, even if you're directly below them hanging on your prop.

The main thing I like though is helping the friendlies on the deck by not giving the enemy alt monkeys free reign on them.  It's music to my ears when I hear on range, "High <bandit>, he's 15k+" and I am in position to descend upon him.

Getting back into AH has been fun - like riding a bike I guess. I have a question - where did all of the early and mid war planes go? It seems that most of the planes in the MA are late war monsters. I can adapt, just miss seeing the wide assortment of different kinds of aircraft.

we have to fly LW planes. because the veteran players in this game have tender egos. they dont want to have to fight and maybe die. so they either fly uber rides and run at the first sign of a fight and/or if they are in EW rides they are right in the middle of the sea of red in the safety of numbers scavenging for kills. they set the example and the player base learns that and now we have a game full of people who would rather run and do circles in their ack waiting for friends, who never fly away from their little horde monkey buddies and who claim to be fighters but arent, theyre gang, run and hide players.

I fly late war monsters.

I used to think I flew them because they were the best at what I choose to do.  Fly high and intercept buffs, very fun for me, very enjoyable.  Now that I have read this thread I realize it is because I just suck and need them to keep my ego from being bruised.  I apologize for my stupidity.  Yesterday I went hunting in an A5 as penance and landed 9 kills

Here's the thing, you gents can do all the arm chair psychoanalyses you want but despite the fact that you are all geniuses, you may not have actually figured out what motivates the folks you heap your hate and disdain upon.

Huzzah!!!!! A hearty one at that!

If you want to fight up high and not have the enemy fighter run away the second he sees you, take up a TU2.

They only dive away 28k worth of altitude to hide in ack AFTER you deliver pepperidge to thier plane.

They don't call it the Late War Main Arena for nothing do they????

Well, defending seems reasonable given the constant attacks by people on the boards and channels about the people who aren't flying whatever it is they want them to fly however they want them to fly it.
