When do we consider someone a valued member of our community? Is it someone who doesn't cheat (use hacked software?) Is it someone who doesn't violate social rules of the community (like offmap bombing?) Is it someone who is friendly and polite to all participants and helpful to the newbies? From my point of view, I follow all of the above.

On the other hand, there is a unpleasant minority in the Aces High community who are determined you will play the game their way. You get to listen to their endless brainless, blather about F4U1Cs and N1Ks.

Nevermind the owners (and designers) of Aces High have elected to leave these planes in the planeset. It really makes you understand religious fanantics better to listen to some of the participants.

Guys, I'm not a very skillful pilot -- it really doesn't matter what I fly. Generally the only guys I kill are the ones that I sneak up on.

Generally, I fly a g10 or la7 for fighter sweeps and sometimes a pony or p38. Almost always, I fly a F4U1C for jabo.

I am so sick of you unpleasant jerks, I'm flying nothing but F4U1Cs. Color me blue

I consider a member of the community virtually anyone that plays the game. I consider them a member of the community until they cite that they are quitting the game because of the community and ostricize themselves.

I'm not a big fan of the belief that everyone must be a valued member of the community, or that everyone must be well liked and warmly received. That is a pure elitist mentality.

I'm more of the belief that people need to look around the place they live and work and understand that they are going to see the same diversity here too. Some people will be cool. Some people will be asses. Some people you won't know anything about. Its the way it goes. Learn to deal with it.

As for squeaking about plane types.. well that's just what it is. Once my P-40 arrives... I'll probably sit back and squeak at everyone flying everything else.

I have great respect towards most of the ppl in this community,even my ch1 behaviour is somewhat poor sometimes.The whining(or whatever U call it) of the C-Hog is of pure frustration.Always they seem to HO.If U evade this stupid C-Hogger

and look back when he passes,U see the sky filled with 20mm Dweebhano tracers.In most cases their gunnery sucks,so they spray and pray,even the greatest pilots of the C-Hog in some cases.Oh well..enuf of whinery for now

<S> to all adversaries.It's the plane I flame,not You personally.

What I think we have here is a SYNDROME... Chog syndrome. I don't have any issues with the chog, personally I can see why the guns are so effective - the close group, the design of the aircraft with the drooped nose and so on - it all makes sense.

I don't find chogs particularly uber when it comes down to a fight, even with a good pilot they're no miracle plane. The problem is the dweeb-crowd use them, and its giving the plane a bad name.

Generally I will abuse a chog pilot as a HO dweeb WHEN I have killed him. Usually its after a blatant attempt to HO which blows his position and I reverse and send him to chog pilot hell.

The problem I find is the 'it takes two to HO argument'. That is pure BS. I try to avoid HOs and 75% of the time do so sucessfully. But so numerous are the attempts that the 25% of successful lucky pings adds up real fast.

Honestly, I don't think there is anything you can do about it. If you took the 'inexperienced' people out of the hog I'm sure the Chog Syndrome would disappear overnight. BUT then they would all move onto something new!

The only plane here that I will leave alone is the N1ki. Sorry but that plane is just not right. OK... maybe it can zoom, but surely a plane that is light enough to zoom like a Colonial Viper can't follow you through 500kias dives and pull out into a series of maneovres that would scare a porn star like nothing happened? N1ki should be more like a 109 in a dive. But I'm not an expert and I'm just masturbleating so who knows...

Leave the chog... educate the newbies.

Chog is ssssooooo porked man. The flight model and uber-lazer hispano cannons are such roadkill...

Get this yesterday I was in a 190D9 at 8K and had a Chog dive in after me. With his superior energy and speed I was not gonna get away so I reversed and flew into his flight path. After a long series of scissors, loops, turns and spins I finally got what I was after... a kill. Guess who's name would end up popping up? GTR

Yeah man that there Chog is so porked, it mine as well be a flying pig.

Added to the list of chog dweebs can now be the chog hypocrite.
Lots of guys do behave like dweebs in the thing. Human waves of chogs going for the HO 3 at a time. doing kamakazi runs on hangers...etc. They are hogc dweebs.
Seeing good pilots in the thing that dont normaly fly it and kidding them for it is good natured...If you cant take it that way assess for yourself why not.
If it shames you so much to be caught flying the chog dont fly it.
Myself I find it funny. Got a 10kill 2 assist sorti in the HogC last night no rearm.
The bad rep that the chog has keeps alot of good pilots out of the thing. I think thats a good thing. The game is better for Drex, Nimitz, Zigrat and Citabria not flying the thing with any regularity. If we gotta constantly remind people that it is a dweeb crutch to maintain that then that is fine with me.
