Why is it that people value their worthless vulch-kills more than anything else? After flying a goon for 20 minutes, it is pretty irritating to get shot down within sight of the town just because the f#¤ idiot vulchers cant get their head out of their f&%#¤ a##¤&.

Trust me, getting shot down by someone who came in from the "wrong" direction for the vulchers, despite repeatedly asking for help is pretty damn annoying. Especially when you are in sight of 20+ friendlies.

From now on, Im gonna up a lanc and level every field I can before I even think about gooning again.

I declare myself to be the knight vulchers worst enemy from now on. Every retarded vulch I see, I will ruin with my mighty lanc.

F#&% you knights

A mandatory cool down period should be implimented between a death in the MA and a post on the BBS.

geez.. sorrrrry

see what happens when I don't play for a long time ? heh

jk

just a suggestion,
why not changing your philosiphy to one where you just have fun .. not too serious, not too goal oriented.. just a what.. a game, that's it !

all kidding aside, I feel your pain. I even quit flying for a bit to 'unwind' from it all and realized I had more fun just logging on and finding a short fight.
When I wanna do base captures and use my (to me valuable) time to fly a goon or something, I do it with my trusty squad.
I can count on them for teamwork.

Overall I have to say that the knights have been very team oriented. Much more so than our previous country.

Although, with the way buffs are modeled, his threats should be carried out quite easily.

Did they ask for a goon and promise to cover you?
If they weren't vulching, are you sure that a zillion planes wouldn't have upped and clobbered you anyway?
Maybe a Lanc would have made a better contribution to the war effort.
Do you like it when others tell you what to fly, or who or how to fight?
Do you get this mad every time you die?
How often do you suppose goons get killed anyway?
Perhaps you'd be happier in an armed plane?

Hortlund, chill bro. I know it sucks, but that's how the game works.

I can top that. It took me the better part of 8 months to get 100 bomber perk points. So the other night, I thought I'd try out an AR234 for the first time. I was flying what I thought would be a sparsley travelled route, but lo and behold here comes an F4UD, and he gets within D1.3 of my six, but I figure I'm safe because we all know that you can't get hit from 1.3, right?

Welp, you guessed it. One lucky burst from those .50's, and one of my engine bites the dust. Didn't take long for me to die after that. Bye bye 60 perk points.

I want a second chance at the AR234, so I work for a week to get another 20 points so I'm at 60 perkies, just enough for another shot at the AR234.

Feeling good about myself, I'm rolling down the runway in my AR234, when my 3 yr old son walks in and pulls my USB hub connection out of my PC and says "Look Daddy!"

Hehe, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I did both.

End of story, bye bye 60 perkies...now I'm down to .61 bomber perks.

See, it could be worse. Take it easy, we all have days like that.

Yes, no. How often do you hear "get goon, we promise to cover you" on the radio?

Most probably

Maybe a Lanc would have made a better contribution to the war effort.
Most probably.. but why ask for a goon then? Repeatedly.

Do you like it when others tell you what to fly, or who or how to fight?
No

Do you get this mad every time you die?
LOL no..then I would have bust a gut ages ago

Perhaps you'd be happier in an armed plane?
True true...

So what is your advice? Never fly a goon again, unless you get written confirmation that someone will at least try to cover you when you arrive at target?

banana..I feel better now.

Partly from reading about your experiences in the 234,
but also from upping a lanc and killing every FH at that field

SlapShot · « **Reply #10 on:** April 11, 2002, 04:39:17 PM »

LOL !!!!

Had a similar experience similar to that last night myself.

Upped a goon flew it NOE for one sector, landed in a fuel depot just north of the base and waited to get the word to "come on in". The call never came, so after 15 minutes or so I asked if the town was ready for the goon and got the A-OK. Took off, asked again if all was OK and got the A-OK again, went straight to the town and low and behold, buildings were up and there was a GV hiding at the town. On the way in, there had to be 10+ planes vulching the field, but not one capping the town. Got jumped by the GV.

Frustrated ... YES ... parked the goon for the night. Wlfgng is right, flying a goon for a squad is much more rewarding and SAFER. If you see a MAW mission and you want to fly a goon, you will find a different circumstance.

Not everybody has the "capture base" mentality and its something that has to be dealt with.

No, my advice is never fly a goon unless you're in the mood to work on your NOE flight, spend a lot of time in transit, probibly get bounced before you get there, and still have a great time doing it. I don't fly goons real often, but when I do I have a blast getting the grunts airsick in the back

Last night I was flying a goon to 17 and not only was the LZ hot, the city was still up. No chance to take the field, so I altered my goal to getting all ten grunts out over the city anyway, which I did. I'm sure the Bish-hops had a grand time strafing them after that 110 came in and shot me apart.

Steve never get a goon unless a few of us are there. The same thing happened to urchin before you logged on. I killed v 66 but lost my tail killin an ostie. There were 3 friendlies at v66 all strafing the fuel etc.

This was after I killed ack the vh and and ostie. Urchin calls over channel 1 "I have goon 2 min out" Of course he gets no cover and a spit flies right through the 3 dumb tulips and kills urchinn who is 2 secs from droppin troops. I got bac killed the spit and waited around till some newbie gets a goon there. I never would have upped that goon to 10 unless you and joe were there.

Most folks in the game are worthless. Not worthy a check 6 call. However we still give umm. We still clear sixes and cover goons etc.. Just dont expect much from the rest.However if you get in with a good lw mission like hazed put up last night you can rely on the rest of the guys. Its funny to watch the cap at a base thin out to mostly dumb arses augering to strafe some noob on the runway. Hell vulchin is some of the most fun I have in ah. I try to vulch as much as possible. But theres a limit.

Anyway dont up a goon unless we are there. Save yourself the head ache.

banana, I understand that those 60 perks hurt alot but the second time was just plain out funny

Can imagine your son standing there, cable in hand with a big grin on his face
