The life of an autoswitcher

[haggerty]

Ok
1) You insulted, not helped, you lied about what I was doin, convo over.
2) I’ve watched your switches for weeks now, I don’t believe you are using auto switch.
3) you’re a good pilot, but if I were up to par as in old days I’d mop the floor with you. Seeing how i only fly 6-8 hrs per week you luck out.

You lie, so the above is moot.

1.  would never insult someone unless attacked first.  And I dont insult you even though you complain everyone HOs everytime you die in HOs you initiate.  I would legitimately help you dogfight if you wanted and have always given constructive tips after you cry.

2. You have displayed you have no idea how autoswitch works even after having it explained over and over.  I really have no idea what to say to you anymore about it.

3.  ha

You are doing what I see and said you're doing, period, I'm not alone, obviously.

And it switches you to 39 when other countries are mid to low 20s? I was here when it was invented. It's not complicated at all. You think I'm new? I was probably here before you.

How is being on your 6 and you flip to HO me, me initiating it...I didn't even whine about it YOU DID.. why because I came towards you at all? I don't even care, what is stupid is you insulting me because you won,... that is messed up.

Claiming I was 20k when I was 8k,.I came from 5k on the merge, you were at 2k. you just make stuff.  you did that twice,.. climbing things you have no clue about. just talking about this makes me ill.

[haggerty]

I will explain Autoswitch to you for the 8th time, you clearly do not understand it even though you say you do, so please take a moment to just read and understand how it actually works.  It will only make a switch if the team you are on has 3 or more players than the lowest team, and will only do so at the end of your next sortie, or current one if in flight.  At no point will it ever switch you to the highest or even second highest team.  If you see an autoswitcher on one of those teams it is because they haven't triggered the switch mechanism yet, either sitting in tower or still in a sortie.

While it doesn't matter who has been here longer, I should mention that I've been here since the original Air Warrior.

While I dont doubt Tazer may be paranoid autoswitchers are out to get him, that was the first I've seen him in ages, as I said I dont even know who he is and dont have a kill record on him.

Even you and I only have 2 fights, both times you dove, doesn't matter if it was 8k or 20k, you reached terminal velocity.  I didnt make fun of you, I just said you should have let me stall before finishing your dive on me.  I can only defensively point my nose on you for so long.  If someone dives on me from far out and is shooting from 2k I will always point my nose back hoping for an easy out so I can continue on.  When im just off the runway I have no options, I can either stay still and let you finish your run, or I can point back and hope you break off for a better pass.

Auto switch players are highlighted in the rooster...it's easy to tell who is using it..

I got tired of being switched to the country where I would have to fly several sectors to find a fight..

Eagler

Same.

Also noted that Haggerty never did anyone wrong. Always coaching and helping folks. Times I fought him he was outnumbered. He Ho'd me in a zeke once but he was outnumbered 4 to 1....got all 4 of us. Tried to thank him for the show but he was busy with the next fight.
It's a video game. No fuss, wish he filmed more.

I don’t need to explain whatever ACM. Its not even the point. Its just the normal 200 drivel. It didn’t bother me until you insisted I was where I wasn’t. It didn’t matter, the persistence in being wrong was. Know when to stop, accept you could be wrong.

There was 2-4 of these situations
The one you refer to was at dusk, with a dark mountain as your background. I cannot even see a plane in that. All I see is icon Chances of me hitting anything is low. Normally at 450 I’ll slope under you loop over onto your 6. I have enough E to sacrifice and still hut you at 375. In the mountain shadow I have no idea where deck is, can’t see your plane to avoid a ram, so I didn’t care its outcome. You basically have 2 options in a HO. Under or in. Anything else you no linger have control of the situation. Most times I do HO its out of spite. I can be on your 6 mist anytime I want in immel. OR I’m already shredded and I ain’t going home.

I’m usually found dropping dar, deacking town and if there us anything left if my plane I fight til death, which often ends up at 3 ir 5 -1. I don’t plan on landing. I don’t spend a lot of time just dogfighting. Like pool, don’t play it everyday your skills slip. At 1-2 hrs per day its not going back to where it was.

I’ve flown 35 yrs. Been that high ranking fighter jock, have all the t-shirts. Its too much work. I don’t fly 6-12 hours per day anymore. I no linger care about that stuff. I’m not competetive.

But its hard to insist my selection of acm if you’re not in my seat.

As far as AS, a pattern is; you switch to the higher number, also we are battling, 5 min later I’m fighting you at the same fight, not once, 3-4 times. Again, I said nothing, until someone else noticed too. He did not deserve this, all of us you fly with notice. I just watched the numbers. All he did was say what everyone thought. I didn’t bring it nor the HOs up.

I would suggest, If you don’t want to be accused if it, don’t bee line to the same battle. People pick up on that sht fast. I was trained to pickup on crap by TC, Rotor and Culero. I may not be a GA, Mod or Tech Support anymore, but the habits remain, I still know what to look for.

Why don’t you just relax. This tension goes with the territory of fighter jock. Fight to last breath once in a while. Competetion is goid, when it loses friends ya need to back off a notch.

I care ZERO what you think of me. You posted a one-sided story to humiliate someone who said something not meant to be public out of anger for your actions.

Until you tried to exploit someone I cared not about this. You mistake me for someone who cares.

You tried to portray yourself as a victim. You are not.
You weren’t helping me you were humiliating me. I didn’t care about that either, you just kept repeating lies, which is nothing more than annoying.

What you were doing doesn’t violate a rule, you violated the trust you wouldn’t do that. Basically its spying. You have a right to play that way, others have the same right to have opinion on it. But posting a one-sided story speaks.

He probably went overboard but the point still remains.

Making yourself a victim is deception. We were the victim of your actions.

Its a game, get over yourself

I cant post a two sided story because there is only one side.  He went off on me and I have no idea who he is and have had no interactions with him before. 
I cant portray myself as the villian as I havent done anything wrong.  You keep saying I join the biggest team and go fight the team I was playing with, but thats the complete opposite of what I do.  Autoswitch moves me to the smallest team and I still actively avoid fighting against the team I just left.  Even if I didnt, i'm on a new team now and its not like that team can't see bases flashing or under attack.  I can only avoid fighting my old team for so long, my new team expects their players to play for them.
You claiming to be a victim of my actions is the point of this thread, even an autoswitcher that actively avoids using old information and avoids the recent fight gets trashed in the forums because paranoid players can't comprehend the concept that the person is playing on another team now to help the game with balance.

Not reading
This is undue drama

[DmonSlyr]

This is why I'd rather just make the side switch 3 hours and turn off auto side switch along with the stupid kill messages. Auto switch really doesnt do anything when only a couple players use it. And it just does the point of OPs post and makes players mad who think they are gaming sides and ruin attacks on the other team they were just on and use verbal abuse of the players. No guarantee that switching to a lower side will have action and may just force them to log off.

I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion on both sides. Its more what it appears to be than what it is. Tazer is like that with many. The situation just fed it. Its not like everyone is damning haggerty, but there are some WTFs.

It might have been a bad decision to post vid, it made everything come alive and up front, that would have faded

Oil and water.

[Randy1]

autoswitching is more irritating than helpful in my opinion...  Kind of like ENY.  I noticed as well  a tendency of turning off autoswitching at odd side imbalance times.

[Animl-AW]

I think from the beginning it could project unintentional acts. Some are, some aren’t.

It was never a devotion to a country, it was what they took with them.

This was punctuated when one returns to a battle on the opposite side. The illusion us normal human nature.

Other than this thread keeping it alive it was probably forgotten by 95% 15 min later. It was better to not revive a dead horse.

(Shrug> i don’t hold a grudge in it, I have bigger fish to fry

I don't auto switch, but I don't begrudge those that do. If it helps the game, that's a plus. But I must admit, those auto switchers that get bumped from our side and come back to the same place we were at together is mildly irritating, in gv's they know where most of us are and the sniping starts. I believe most don't do that however, it is just a select few. They seem to think its funny, NOT.

Agreed

I think it is a mild irritant, it is just a game.
Some abuse it and some over-react to it.

It was just an mild irritant to me. I made the comment on how does it switch you to a side with 10 more players than any other country. But 2 min later I forgot about it. Same with HOs.

My whole point was how can you complain about an over-reaction when coming back to the same fight was irritating.

Chicken or egg.
