why I play
« on: June 12, 2021, 10:15:31 PM »
been having a lot of fun lately.  my stick and throttle have been going downhill in the past month or 2. at first couldnt find a replacement but lately more have been available.  anyway

it's hard to fly fighters when you have little or no control on the rudder, and the stick you really have to fight it to get into a fight.  it wants to turn left when you want it to go right and whatever.  I thought about quitting till I found a new stick, but I've found out I am actually having more fun.  last fighter sortie I landed 2 kills. one was a proxie and the other was a ho/ram because the other player was nice enough  to come at me.  on 200 they were like turn around, I laughed and posted I am trying just stick is broken and it doesnt want to.  enemy was cool as hell, they chased me, when I could turn I did and mostly set them up for friendlies to get them.  all friendlies and enemies had a good laugh at me trying to fly the pony with very little control.  it was fun as heck, I am grateful for that.

it isnt the kill, it's the friends that just want to fly and have a good laugh.  i have a new stick on order with a new throttle coming up.  hope the fun keeps going.

If only everyone could see it that way sir. Win or Lose its about the fight. Ten years ago when I stopped playing it took an act of GOD or a cheat code to bring me down. Now I don't even care either way.


ITS ALL ABOUT THE FUN!!!!!!!!

I had the pleasure of participating in a scenario under semps leadership in a scenario awhile back briefly.  He is fun.  I "fly" very little in the MA anymore.  I think I had a total of 45 minutes last month.

However I participate in Scenarios for what they bring.  That is chiefly why I still subscribe. 

Hey Brooke!!!  When is the next one?  (tapping foot arms crossed.)

actually hajo did join me in the only portion of the scenario where they asked me to be the leader.  I failed as a leader miserably, but we did have some fun.  I was the leader but recognized another player that had more experience than me so I asked him to take over 1/2 way thru the frame.  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

edit: I blame brooke for me failing as a leader, he's the one who asked me  :devil
