I guess my point to Skyyr is more like, ....spending 6-9 yrs away (depending on who ya talk to) most likely playing other sims

I didn't touch sims in the 6 years I was gone. Last time I played a sim was Aces High in March/April 2018.
Skyyr

Tours:
166 - 190
198 - 204
218 - 220
286 - 287
290 - 296

nrshida: "I almost beat Skyyr after he took a 6 year break!"
A few moments later...

vs Shane: 30-11

KOTH Wins: 6, Egos Broken: 1000+

Mmmmm... tears.

Thats fine, but my main point still stands on its own.

When I came back after 14 yrs, I knew what I was stepping into, therefore, because of my choice, I don’t complain. It’s always good to make friends and some of us old dogs are like family.

We all have flaws
We all F up
We’re not all on the same skill level
But generally we’re good ol bloats.
And I will strike with great vengeance anyone who poisons my brothers. As it should be.
I’m a lot of things, good and bad, but I’m swallowed in morals and not budging.

I’m a nice good hearted human, until I’m not. :)

It's a ranked MMO "strategy" (supposedly) game. Of course many players aren't here necessarily for combat, especially if they are Jabo and trying to help take down a field. In this game, you have to luer fighters in and get them on the overshoot crossing shot. Get them into a turn fight when they get too impatient trying to BnZ. It's natural instinct not to want to get splattered like a bug from a higher con with more speed and E. The majority of players do not understand defense and therefore all they know what to do is extend away if they can. Everyone does it at some point.

Anything made will need tweaking. Main point, these maps put a good face on the game. I never made anything that in time and use didn’t expose something that needs a tweak.

How people play is personal preference, like music. It can’t be wrong. Its these individual POVs that cone together to make a well rounded game. Some battles would not happen if ya didn’t have GVs or bombers instigating them. Therefore, those who play the strategy their comments on the terrain matter.

As far as fighter, in a P51D, after two turns I’m extending to regain some of that lost E back. I’ve watched Skyyr do the same and regain alt.

We do not know why a player is running. They could be out of ammo, just enough fuel to go home and land a kill, or both, extending to regain alt or speed. Its like this, just because a giy runs past a bank that was just robbed, doesn’t mean he robbed it, he was in a hurry to catch a bus.

Some prolly think I run. But you can bet, as soon as they tire and turn around I’m flipping on their 6. Sometimes if its a potato launcher its just jinking to deplete their canons.

Ya just do not know why someone is fleeing. Fly your own plane.

Back to the maps, I love what these guys do. They are the face of the game, whatever its current status. They want it to be perfect too.

The evolved thread has nothing to do with fighter tactics. GVers and thise who play strategy have a much deeper view of the terrain and flaws.
