awesome fight with b17's

[1stpar3]

In our strategic assessment we were pretty sure it was the DickWeeds. We chose to not fly 262 even though POTW has perks to burn as a group. We know what that really does to group initiatives and we save that kind of pain for other situations and individuals. We chose to fly prop planes to intercept locked together B17's flown by experienced vets.

Moly and 1stpar3 are part of the reason this game is turning into an SJW nightmare. Not the DickWeeds or POTW since both squads on our squad nights pick fights and fight all comers like both squads have done since AH1. We just pick a field and break it's toys and boys until it starts a fight or we capture that field. It's the MA not the DA and after almost 20 years our squad is very good at being a squadron.

Why don't you wish for a "Baby on Board" sign for new comers along with invincibility mode so they don't get their feelings hurt....

Did you read my post? I have NO IDEA what an "SJW Nightmare" is? I was IN NO WAY dissing any squad or Game play style..if you took it that way, I am unaware of a better way to describe it so that you can grasp mypoint.   The point I was getting at...well to be honest you proved my point. FOLK take stuff way TOO PERSONAL and start sniping and condescending while pounding their chests. If you honestly believe that I am a problem in this game...never mind. Its not worth my time while that chip is on your shoulder. I was attacking NO ONE

That's OK, no one made fun of it while the muppets pulled their stuff leading up to the mob trying to take over the forums. And it got out of hand becasue social justice too easily without being exposed as silly and self serving, will compound and feed more silliness and carry people away with that silliness. It's becasue some will cloak themselves with the silliness as a mantle of their self identity and worth. While others will use it to get away with abusing people in these forums. Becasue it can become a PC club to cudgel others about their manners to hide simply not liking them. I get that a lot from our resident self appointed cultural manners police.....

This is my mindset playing all video games....if you don't, you're in the wrong hobby.



Witness me!!!

How exactly does this line of thought work?

Again.  What precisely should the defenders have done? 
Wiley.

Why can't you get it? It's really simple. I thought I'd spelled it out.

1) The defenders did exactly as they ought to have done.
2) The buffs did as well as they could given the circumstances (but got slaughtered).
3) This was probably a lot more fun for the clubbers than the clubbees.
4) This will tend to discourage the clubbees from repeating said experience, which the clubbers so enjoyed.
5) I'd appreciate input from any of the clubbees as to how much they enjoyed it. I wouldn't have; but I'm not them, hence my invitation for their point of view.

Got it now?

There's no need for this kind of disdainful, caustic treatment.  Both of those guys were respectful in the way they raised their issues.  Making fun of them like this is its own nightmare.

Ok, this is getting old really fast.

It's clear Moly is saying in not so many words:  "Sure it's fun for you but what about the victims?". The bomber pilots knew the risk and it's the nature of this game. Further, if Moly wasn't there then he really has no business commenting in favor of the losing side. If he wants to even the scales then there's nothing from stopping him from upping a fighter to escort the poor hapless bomber pilots.

He can be the change he wants to see in the game, but we have every right to call him out for sticking his nose in the AAR of an encounter he was neither a witness or participant. Let the Bomber pilots speak for themselves if they feel offended. If they don't like getting shot down then why pay 14.95 for the game that allows it?

After a while it gets obvious where these posts get their inspiration. Most of us are older folks tired of the SJW BS creeping into every aspect of our lives where it doesn't belong. SJW activity destroys everything it touches and it needs to be called out and culled with prejudice every time it raises its ugly fascist head.

I can imagine the request to Skuzzy to shutdown the game or ban successful players : "Yea, we got shot down and we think that's not fair to the team that's really trying hard so you need to ban those guys so we don't have to encounter any opposition." With the following qualifications from Moly and his 'ilk': "I think in my head without consulting any expert advice on player demographics besides my self-taught knowledge and some expensive self-help books. My Ashram master says that this would be the fairest method of operation for people I have never discussed the issue or flown with. "


Seriously, Moly, you had no place making the comment you did. It's out of context of the combat sim and not in touch with the reality of the entertainment all players PAY FOR.

Oldman, he had it coming please don't defend his kind of thinking.

Oldman, he had it coming please don't defend his kind of thinking.

If you're an older folk, then you should know better.  So should Bustr.  It really is possible to rebut an argument without getting personal about it.

And really, "SJW BS"?  We've seen far worse in our time.

They created their circumstances.  That's the great thing about this game, is you and your opponents create the circumstance when you engage.  They could've taken off from further back and climbed higher to get more defense from the cloak of boredom.  They could've (maybe should've) had more escorts.  Instead they chose to come in at lower alt to interact more with the enemy.

One side or the other usually gets wiped out. The fun is in the experince.


Now yall go clean your rooms and I'll let yall fly later.

[DubiousKB]

Put it this way, i'd have taken either side on that run, if the buffs want to let me know when they're upping, i'd up with them! 

Both sides got lots of action and like stated above, there was NO sure kill on THAT formation.  20min of great fun for this subscriber. 

[DmonSlyr]

If you don't have escort fighters that's your own damn fault.

If you quit the game because you got pounced on, than you shouldnt be playing this game or any other online game for that matter.

What ever happened to getting better at the game?
