the funniest thing about risk aversion is when you encounter a plane.  I fly the p51 99% of the time.  so if I find a zero, a yak or most anything that will outurn me I will make a couple of passes and if I am alone, that's all I am gonna do.  on some other planes like the 109's or something similar all the do is try to rope me so I get bored and I fly away.  been told many times not to run. but they play to the best of their planes abilities and I play to mine.

so the question is should i play to your game or play to mine.  I like to play to mine.

If plane choice didn't matter in world war 2, they wouldn't have needed to make so many different kinds :)

It's fun to cut someone's kill/death ratio in half with a single burst.

Yeah, 'cause we all know that it's so much easier to shoot down a B-17 or B-29 at 33K than at 3k...  ;)

OK OK, the alt penalty scale stops at 25%.

And here I thought I was the only idiot who wades into multiple-on-1 fights in a 410.   :)

Good on ya.


For the record, I didn't take your post as a whine or anything of the sort.  But I did think you were suggesting scoring system changes would change player behavior.  My bad and very sorry to hear you quit.  I hope it is not permanent and you just need a break.    :salute

I wondered if it would but not by design to favour one party or another. Just feels for some player's activities the score is largely insufficient and irrelevant.

AH3 forces some of us out because we can't update our computers. I'd still be playing otherwise.

have you got room for a desktop?   I'm sure there will be enough spare parts lying around to build one that plays fine.

An Englishman has offered to send a replaced PC. Tis a big favour though with  the distance.
