If everyone practiced true fighter pilot Dicta, this game wouldn’t last two weeks. In game it takes little more than patience. Not any appreciable skills.

CH200 is still too toxic for the most part, to much profanity. A lot of the talk on 200 if you spoke that in a store or a restaurant, they  would ask you to leave, they don't need your money that bad.

Since the first planes flew online in AW in 1988, there have been a certain percentage who are furballing and a certain percentage that fly the Dicta. There have been a ball of spits and zekes chasing each others tail, and a pack of Dora and Ponies picking at them.  The furballers have shook their fists and cursed the fast movers for not coming down from alt and turn fighting them like men! And the Ponies just roll their eyes and keep on doing what they want to do. 

Nothing has changed that in the last 30 years, nothing will change that in the next 30 years.

In all the years I interacted with Rocky I never knew if he was a Martian or a Trappist Monk. All I knew was he is a friendly guy who fly's a P51. The only person who knew who Rocky is was Rocky. No one in this game knows if I'm a Klingon or a part time Camel Jockey living in Marrakesh. You have to first tell people you are a Martian or a Trappist Monk before they can then decide to treat you badly over your heritage. Who you confide your personal information to will always be rife with risk as we all know from the real world. As for how you choose to express your $14.95 as game strategy, it's your $14.95 and other's opinions don't matter if they are not footing your bill.

Are you choosing to do harm to Hitech Creations in this public forum by retelling this story?

I did not know Rocky left because of racist comments. I hope he changes his mind and comes back. We all miss him.
He really is a great guy. It was also, really nice for us GV'ers to have Rocky up there chasing off the bom-turds when
we attacked a Vehicle Base.

there's different versions worded about this code.  these are a couple of rules, i find hilarious by people who oppose them.

4. Attack when the enemy least expects it or when he is preoccupied with other duties such as observation, photography, or bombing.

5. Never turn your back and try to run away from an enemy fighter. If you are surprised by an attack on your tail, turn and face the enemy with your guns.

looks like picking and hoin are part of the dicta rules and yet the whine of those so called "top guns" always cry about them.  and dont even forget about keeping your own line of retreat open.  meaning, run like hell.

semp

dont forget rule #8, always attack in groups of fours and six.  again

That is your opinion.  You are free to fly the game as you wish.  You are not free to tell other people how they should fly.

Some people want to dive in and mindlessly furball without concern of odds or disadvantage.

Some people want to practice Dicta_Boelcke because it adds an interesting layer of complexity to not just shoot at the first plane in front of you but to continually calculate the odds and rewards of any action and to know when to press the attack and when to deny the enemy the advantage.

Both are perfectly valid ways to play the game.  I've had fun doing both from time to time.  I'd never be so arrogant as to tell anyone that one way or the other was wrong.

Your mileage may vary.
