J.E.R.K. , I suggest you reread the post. There are no 'I''s in it, it starts out with the words 'SCENARIO', then describes a common scene where a guy gets within a moment of completing his objective.. and gets tagged from behind by a bad guy he never saw, which might have been avoided by a simple six call from a free fighter beyond the range to intercede directly. Theres no mention of me, mossies, or teamates saving anybodys butt.
Here's that lil all to common description of current MA events again.. so you won't have to fumble around trying to find your scroll button.. I suspect you don't believe in them either.
I wish we had a 'check brain' key.
Scenario.. yer workin on pickin off the few remaining buildings at the city, yer goons only 2 min out. defenders, denied reup from the field due to hangers down or runways vulched begin streaming in from a nearby field, they are commin into yer SA zone mighty fast, carrying a big sack of e as they scream in and with most of your attention focused on the targeting runs in the dirt, a bad guy saddles you up. You miss his arrival on yer six, yer 2 seconds from hosing down the last buildings..
J.A.B. Manxer, Doberman and thier ilk , happily vulching the field you deacked for them not 4 min before see the baddie settin up on yer six but are too far off to affect the outcome, and don't believe in 6 calls.
You get tagged by the baddie.. the farm stays up, the goon gets whacked next by the same baddie, the field don't fold. Those vulchers, hey; ain't THEY the happy campers tho.. more seals to club for even more perkies, my, but ain't that fun.
This was put up in response that now famous post of yours detailing your incredibly asinine views regarding the worth of your fellow pilots and your unwillingness to advise then with a single keystorke that they may be in peril...
I'm one of the people who don't give out 6 calls. I find most of them annoying, especially considering how 90% of the ones I recieve are when the enemy is 4-5K away on my 12. I do of course thank the people who send me the occasional good 6 call....but such are few and far between. I don't give them out because I can't be bothered to; I've got other things to worry about than watching somebody else's tail for him. Should a friendly not seem to notice an enemy I might call out 666 on the text buffer....or I might not.
Now it seemmed pretty obvious to me just what kind of a dickhead you are right then and there... but after several people pointed out that your ethics (or lack of them) were questionalble in the extreme and you attempted to shout 'em down, I put up my post. It's not particularly inflamitory, and while I do mention you and those who seemed to think your flying style was worth defending in the roles of the folks that just could care less about the others on your team that are flying in yer area, I really didn't think it warranted the vehement and thouroghly enjoyable diatribe you spewed up outta yer fat lipped bellybutton next..
ALL HEAR THIS--IT'S NOW THE JOB OF EVERY AH PLAYER TO WATCH HANG'S 6 FOR HIM!
Hah!
You know Hangtime...if you're stupid enough to fly Mossies low and slow right next to an enemy base without pre-arranged escort, you DESERVE to be shot down. Nothing attracts NME like a fat, easy target.
Rather than pitifully whining about how its everybody's fault but your own that your flawed plan fails, you should make a GOOD plan next time. Have some dedicated fighter escort. You're in a squad mister--that's what they're there for!
Your massive ego astounds me. How you can possibly EXPECT everyone to drop what their doing and run to your aid whenever you need it.....dude, you need a break. You might be a popular AH player, but you ain't God although you seem to think you are. I know this might be tough for you and your over-inflated ego to cope with, but all those other Knights (or rooks or whatever) you see there.....they're on their own flight and have their own goals....you and your helpless Mossie don't mean jack crap to them.
And yah, I've been around long enuff to know how to read, how to fly, how to fight and how to accomplish what i set out to do. I do feel a modicum of responsibility for any teammate in my immediate area, will call his six or lend a hand if I can, moreover; i feel a modicum of responsibilty to help advance my entire teams position and do such mundane things as get on the text comms and announce ALERT: ATTACK INDOUND A32.. to give guys a heads up that might be able to help defend the teams intrests.
Yes, i regard any 'player' such as yourself; that considers himself to be above and beyond such things, sneers at teamwork, refuses to help or pass out six calls and is intrested only in self gratification at the expense of the efforts of the others around him a fair target for criticisim.. or worse.
In short, I figure I'm within bounds in declaring you the worst form of score hound parasite based on your posts, unwilling to help anyone unless you can snag a safe kill in the process, one who sneers at the six call concept, sneers at the SA skills of a guy gettin gangbanged or is doing mission work and only fights when he can win without much risk or effort.
Yer kinda like dogshit in the arena.
When you see it lying around, it's not something yah wanna associate with and you really don't wanna step in it, but when it winds up being tossed at yah you feel obligated to do something about it.
Well, now we know what you look and smell like, seems to me that now we know about yah, we should be able to avoid yah without too much problem.
