Lots of late war planes?

[VuduVee]

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.

yep, but you ganger runner hiders are the same ones who complain about the game dying. then 2 seconds later youre the 6th plane diving on a half plane. then crying about no fights. or the 6th one into a gangbang but the 1st one to run from 1v1s. theres a reason people think lowly of these players.

There is so much truth to this statement.

Yep.  And you TnB chest thumpers are the same ones who complain about the game dying.  Then 2 seconds later you're whining because the guy in the dora isn't stallfighting with your Spit16, then crying about no fights.  Or you're concentrating on one plane in a furball and whining about everybody not staying out of "your fight" and demanding the enemy come at you one at a time like you're in a Chuck Norris movie.  There's a reason people think lowly of these players.

  I can't see HTC dying because of the way any specific group plays the game.  Really, seem's like HTC would take direct action if such were the case.  Further, I've heard not one peep out of HTC to indicate they're in a dire situation.  Word from HTC on such things is..... <crickets>

  I reckon style-of-play has little or nothing to do with any mass exodus that may (or may not) have happened in AH.  The game just hasn't changed that much, not in a very long time.  What I do know, is AH is old as MMOG's go and the attention span of your average modern gamer is equivalent to the average Goldfish.  Take that and combine it with the fact that AH is NOT a shooty-bang-fast-die-go-again console game and well... you've got a more realistic target to blame, than someone who doesn't play the game THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO!

  HTC is obviously addressing the issue.  There's hope on the horizon.  This might all work out great, it might not.  However, insulting people for doing what they pay HTC to do, then accusing them of killing the game is just silly <<<(that's the PC version, use your imagination).  So stop, you aren't helping.

I've been having tons of fun in the F-4F, the most I've had in a while. It's my new favorite plane. I can't wait till it's remodeled. The achievement made me do it.

Pilots come in for the easy kill and do stupid stuff around me, I shoot them down.

You don't need a late war monster to have fun in Lw arena.

Wow.  The Phantom is in here?   

[BuckShot]

The "phantom" wildcat, yes. The little bugger holds onto e better than expected.

coy wiley. make up whatever you want i guess. none of that is true of me. not one bit of it. i never expect any runner to fight, what gets me is when they run and wait for the guy to get into a fight, then bravely come back just raring to fight. we know that each plane has a certain style, each plane CAN fight. you dont want to turn fight a 190 vs spit16, i get it. they need to have E and maybe extend a bit. but thats not what happens. the 190 just keeps extending until he finds some little helpers or just outright hides in ack and of course he tries to reengage when you turn away. or people sit at the end of the runway vulching until they get bounced then run like the wind. they are willing to fight as long as the other guy cant do crap abt it. but as soon as the fight slaps them in the face, all the sudden they're low fuel, low ammo, gotta go now! these are veteran players doing this sissy bit. veteran means theyve been around longer than non vets, which means they have influenced the game play more than the non vets. and the game becomes what it is. then you see that there are 20 LW birds for every 1 EW bird. because you have to fly LW to compete with the veteran ganger runner hiders.

And there's plenty of people that fly LW stuff that your posts don't apply to as well.  And that's another VooduVee griping on 200 all the time about getting picked and HOed and people running?  My bad.

Some people fly LW planes to run, some people fly LW planes to chase.  That we at least agree on.

youre leaving out all context and blanketing any thing i say as an unreasonable 200 gripe. typical.

Plenty of those opening in this thread are dismissing context.   Not everyone who leaves a fight is "gutlessly running". 

[caldera]

I run all the time but my planes are too slow to get away.

Great Early/Midwar action to be had in the scenario.  Next week is the last week, walkons still welcome.

so true.

It can also take quite a beating and keep going. An important quality for a plane that take beatings often

When I want some old blue plane shenanigans I roll its cousin the SBD

0-18,000 feet in 90 seconds...and it can also be used for SAM suppression.  You should see if it works on those radar-aimed (or is it laser?) puffy ack guns the CVs have.
