I got several frontal quartered shots taken on me, some apologized on 223, some didn't..don't much care
I never did understand the crying about HOs and the people who just bail when they start loosing a fight. Both of these are really lame to me.
I used to wait until right before I figured they would HO and then roll and pull. It blew most of the HO shots. Then for fun I started flying the Mossie and HOing back. That was a lot of fun to give the HOers some of their own medicine.
The one thing I never understood was the people who bailed when they were at a disadvantage. I guess that's to deny the "kill" to the person that's about to kill them but it still shows up as a proxy kill and they're dead just the same. It makes no sense to me.
When I stopped playing (over a year ago now) the MA pretty much was full of pickers and hoarders. It wasn't much fun to me.
Yesterday in the game I currently play, we had a 25 minute match of 16 vs 16. About 15 minutes into the match everyone was dead from the ensuing furball except for me flying a VL Pyörremyrsky and a Yak9 on the other team. Their ground attack and bomber forces had done well and we were going to lose the battle based on ground force and bases destroyed. All the Yak9 had to do was hide in his AAA and run out the clock. Instead he came out to fight me. I rtbed for ammo and then went out to meet him.
We started at about 5k and over the next 5 minute fought down to the deck. This fight was for all the marbles because whoever won this fight would win the match for all the other players on their team. Using my climb rate and high yo-yos I was able to get a couple shots on him that damaged his engine and finally won the match with only a minute or two to spare.
I remember having fights like this in AH many years ago but not so much toward the end of my playing. Stuff like this match I described is what makes a game fun for me. People crying about HOs, bailing when their about to die, picking, hoarding and worried about their score over all else are all things that make a game not fun for me. Sadly this appears to be what the game is now for the most part with a few exceptions.
