No Tracers, UnFair
« on: April 12, 2002, 11:07:42 AM »
I really must object to the unfair practice of some players by turning off their tracers.   This is very unrealistic,  I mean didnt any of you see Top Gun, and Pearl Harbor, those movies were as real as it gets.  
Come on, how am I supposed to dodge your rounds if I cant see your tracers.  
I expect all of you Pee-51-NoTracers-ShootingMyTailOff-Cheaters to turn your tracers back on now.    
Thank you
We now return you to your regularly scheduled whine.

One Major problem with your logic Major Tom, it's incorrect. Many squadrons in WWII quit using tracers to help get the drop on unsuspecting targets.  Movies show tracers because they're movies.  I really hope you don't count on Hollywood to recreate history for you, God help us all.  But seriously, read some accounts from the pilots who were there and fought in the skies above Europe or in the Pacific.  Bottom line is.....it's your job, and your teamates job, to maintain situational awareness and keep an eye out for cons on your six.

That was about the worst "shameless attempt to get Rude's attention" post as I've ever seen.

Nice try, MajTom. But you weren't sincere enough. :)

Sorry banana, I'll try harder on the "sincerity" part.   I wasnt really trying to get Rude's attention, I just figured it was Friday and I would do a little fishing.  Obvisously its not very hard is it?  I hooked HardTail didnt I?   Hardtail how much do you weigh? so I can enter you in my record book.  That hook in your mouth didnt hurt did it?

lol, no way.... who was it that put the "Perk the La7" post up and he EVEN SAID THAT IT WAS A TROLL!!!! but that didn't stop 50 people from getting into a huge debate over the merits of perking, the La-7, and each others geneology.... it was great. Some people were yelling "STOP THE MADNESS!!!" but they were trampled to death under a thousand keystrokes lol. It's amazing what you can troll with.

Hint to Major Tom: Include the word "LuftWhiner" in your post for best results.

With all of the idiots we have around here you can never be too safe.  So I simply assumed you were as dim as you appeared to be and took the opportunity to help you out.  Your post was nothing compared to some of the moronic rants I've seen in here.

By the way, I weigh 209 lbs.

Oh, and lbs. means pounds

Damn, SWulf, now I feel like I cheated,  can I keep him?  or is this stream strictly catch and release?  I did use a barbless hook though.

Well, since he meets the weight requirements, you're allowed to keep him. It's a helluva big trophy too.

No need at all to feel cheated Major Tom, after all it was I who assumed you to be geniune in the first place.  So I do apologize, and I assure I will never assume you to be honest again.

No harm, no foul HardTail,  all though I take offense to your statement "as dim as you appear to be"  I mean I have the brightness turned up on my monitor as far as it will go,  I cant be that dim.

Thanks for tip Sikboy, I'll remember that next time, just thought I would be out-of-bounds using that term seeing has how I usually spend about 80% of my time online in the D9 and 110g2.

This thread is almost as good as the claim (Funkedup ?) that anything less than 100% fuel going into combat was gaming the game! LOL!
