A few things that really piss me off in AH(sry for language)
« on: April 23, 2001, 11:26:00 AM »
A note at the beginning, this is not addressed to the many LW friends i am flying with in AH the JG 54, the PSS and many others. I believe u guys sometimes feel the same.

The 1st thing are the many many players that fly around without any little amount of skill, HOing all the day with their freeking Tie-Fighters N1K1 and F4U.

2nd the all the kill those guys cost u. I fly my D9 i tangle with an enemy and just once in the moment, he has burned all E and i want to turn and give him a little burst from my guns, one freeking dweeb comes in, shoots at the "wonderful easy target" that is hanging right in front of him and BOOM there goes the work of 5 mins of high adrenalin usage and E management.

3rd, the missing of 6 calls, hey guys its so easy to press the 6 call key and let it go. I use it very often, even up to the max icon distance of 6.0k. But how often i fly and prepare to kill someone, just to be bounced by an enemy, the nice N1K1 and F4U dweebs saw comin at me, but instead of warning me they let him get me, and then go for him, cause he is an easier kill than.

Than the wonderful GE guns, this pee pee shooters if u compare em to any other plane in the game. I fill up SPits, F4Us LAs and so on. But WOW how durable all that planes are compare to my little tiny FW190, which was know as the weakest plane of WW2 falling apart even if a bullet only passes near bye. Even the ZEKE is hard to kill compare to the D9.

HTC plz rearange the perk point system, so that it more reflects the actual AH situation.
The cHOG, dHOG, N1K1, Spit IX and LA7 should have the worst point multiplier. U ask why, cause they are the most seen planes in AH, and why they are?? Cause through player experience it was shown that they are the TOP 5 planes of AH. All other planes should be really good for getting perk points, especially the C202,C205 (i think they already are pretty good perk point machines once u fly em succesful), than the P47, the FW190 and the ME109.


Now this is all for now, but frustration level was lowered a lot by typing it down.

Greetings to all real fighter pilots of AH.

P.S. i dont want offend people who fly the HOG or the N1K1 outta squad reasons or cause its "the plane" for em, but even they must admit that the majority of the N1K1 and HOG drivers fly those birds cause they are freeking kill-scoring machines

And people wonder why Dear Abby is a millionaire  

There is nothing really *wrong* with the game, your problem is with many of the participants.  And I, as do others, know what you mean.

The best thing I can suggest is log off, relax, and then rejoin when chilled out.  You can't make people help you, or want to help you.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt

These complaints will be ignored.you will eventually get to that point where you love the way this game flies but you will be fed up with the 'discrepencies' mentioned earlier and you will probably decide to leave on principle or through cost/fun factor dropping off through frustration(eg LW 20mm causing no damage to tanks).

Something all these people who claim its 'luftwhiners' dont really care about.they dont care if we leave because they will just see less and less LW flyers..and so what?
HTC on the otherhand,should keep in mind these LW fans/customers .they seem to disregard these complaints.The bomber pilots complain the guns arent enough they extend the range to keep those customers.The Flyers of axis planes with 20mm have been unable to straffe ostwinds/panzers for ages and when we questioned it we were called  'whiners'.
well in news there is finally a mention of the damage model for tanks being changed.
Will this mean MG151 will penetrate at last?
I hope so.
There is an incredibly annoying trend in the ah community to flame anything that mentions possible faults with anything axis and its stupid.I fly the planes and do my joke german voice sure but im not a nazi.
Just want to fly and have fun with the planes as near exact as it is possible with a computer BUT with concessions that are agreed to increase fun and enjoyment.
Being in a fight with an aircraft that seems to have such a overpowering weapons(f4c) is not much fun.
I dont want to see it removed or changed for that matter but i would like to see less everytime i get in MA and while youre at it maybe some sort of proof that hispanos were sooooooo much better than Mg151s at penetrating armour.

i can live in hope

i guess if you ignore someone for long enough,even with a legitimate complaint, its easy to claim its whines.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't MG151s High Explosive rounds as opposed to Armor Piercing.

If they are HE, wouldn't making them be able to penetrate 10" of armor (at the least) be kind of like talking to someone and then when they say something you don't like you stick your fingers in your ears and yell out "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"

You need an armor piercing round to knock a hole in the armor for an explosive round to detonate in and make the hole larger. If you hit with just high explosive rounds you MAY put a dent in the armor... more than likely just give it a nice charred effect.

I bet that in 1.07 the Hispanos will do to tanks what the Mg151/20s do to tanks in 1.06:  Nothing.

Tank armor model is being redone.

Here's a hint for the LW at large.  Try not to form your question such as...

While my plane is very very difficult to fly (most pilots here are not good enough), my opponents fly planes that take no skill at all to kill them.

The 1st thing are the many many players that fly around without any little amount of skill, HOing all the day with their freeking Tie-Fighters N1K1 and F4U.

I have yet to see a single plane HO. Not even one.  My experience is, and by defintion, it takes 2, count 'em, 2 planes to do a HO.  Wouldnt a player with skill be able to avoid getting in an HO with these "freeking Tie-Fighters"?  BTW, some people think the 190 is a dweeb plane, all guns and speed.  Why is it that it's always the other guys plane that is the uber ride but never our own?

2nd the all the kill those guys cost u. I fly my D9 i tangle with an enemy and just once in the moment, he has burned all E and i want to turn and give him a little burst from my guns, one freeking dweeb comes in, shoots at the "wonderful easy target" that is hanging right in front of him and BOOM there goes the work of 5 mins of high adrenalin usage and E management.  

Aren't you calling out how that enemy belongs to you on country channel?  The only real complaints I understand are when you are close to a con, on his six and someone drops in between you and the con making you die a killshooter death, or shooting over your shoulder when you don't know a countryman is there.  Scares the heck out of a guy cause at the moment he doesnt know if its a friend or foe.  Otherwise, I never understood where someone thinks the have the exclusive right to a con.  I guess that's just my failure to understand. I figure they just saw a con and wanted to shoot it.  If I had been fighting a guy for 5 minutes, I would think maybe it was my failure to get a quick kill that cost me. Again, thats just me.  Oh yeah, I hate when someone shoots at con that I have taken a wing or tail off of and it is obviously going down.

3rd, the missing of 6 calls, hey guys its so easy to press the 6 call key and let it go. I use it very often, even up to the max icon distance of 6.0k. But how often i fly and prepare to kill someone, just to be bounced by an enemy, the nice N1K1 and F4U dweebs saw comin at me, but instead of warning me they let him get me, and then go for him, cause he is an easier kill than.

Again, must be something wrong with me, I always assumed it was my own responsibility to keep and eye on my own 6, not blame others for failing to warn me.  I sure do appreciate a 6 call when I get one, and I give alot of them out, but I try not to blame someone if he doesnt warn me.  I don't really expect others to warn me especially when we are all in a fight already and nobody has a free moment.

Than the wonderful GE guns, this pee pee shooters if u compare em to any other plane in the game. I fill up SPits, F4Us LAs and so on. But WOW how durable all that planes are compare to my little tiny FW190, which was know as the weakest plane of WW2 falling apart even if a bullet only passes near bye. Even the ZEKE is hard to kill compare
to the D9.


Not quite following this complaint, (whats a GE?) but whatever the complaint is, I think you can rectify it by shooting your opponents better at closer range, and dont get yourself shot so often.

HTC plz rearange the perk point system, so that it more reflects the actual AH situation. The cHOG, dHOG, N1K1, Spit IX and LA7 should have the worst point multiplier. U ask why, cause they are the most seen planes in AH, and why they are?? Cause through player experience it was shown that they are the TOP 5 planes of AH. All other planes should be really good for getting perk points, especially the C202,C205 (i think they already are pretty good perk point machines once u fly em succesful), than the P47, the FW190 and the ME109.

I am not an expert on the perk system, I dont care much about points or score, I just want to have fun, but it is my general understanding that the best planes do have the lowest point mulitplier.   Am I wrong in this understanding?
                   
P.S. i dont want offend people who fly the HOG or the N1K1 outta squad reasons or cause its "the plane" for em, but even they must admit that the majority of the N1K1 and HOG drivers fly those birds cause they are freeking kill-scoring machines

I guess if I understand it, you like flying the 190, but kinda begrudge others from flying planes they like because you have trouble killing them?  I used to fly with a squaddie who always flew the 190, he ran a 15 to 1 killing ratio.  He flew it well, and didn't complain about other planes.  He merely focused on what the other planes did well and how was the best way to fight against them, or get away from them.

Please excuse me and my lack of knowledge and understanding, I am still learning.

Naudet, relax and take some days off AcesHigh. Then fun will be back again

Let me describe a scene.

2 pilots coming head on both avoid initial "ho" hoping to set up each other. They both go into flat turn or near flat turns just past merge and once again are coming at each other head on both fire 1 guy dies.

Is that a "ho"?

Nikis will beat you through the turn and have a gun solution much faster.

An f4 will kill you much more quickly then any non-hispano plane.

These are facts in AH.

I only bring this up because I watched a fight between a knight 190 and a chog. not sure what version 190 was not close enough. I was in a buff above and about 5k to at closest point 3.5k. I watched the 190 blow thro merge and instead of climbing and doing an immelman he tried to out turn the f4. the f4 got around slightly faster and again they faced each other head on. I could not tell if any hits were score by either pilot but the 190 tried the same thing again and was ate up by the f4.

Then came the "chog ho dweebs etc". Well that 190 got what he deserved.

I hate chog blue pieces of crap. I have tried flying them but I like to roll and use my rudder alot which in a chog seems to stall. But I dont care I will never fly those smelly ugly beasts regularly enough to be concerned with mastering it. Chogs have killed me so have nikis. There are alot of them in the main which I dont like but then I hate the water world map. As a matter of fact I hate "pac war planes" and most things related to them.  

My only complaint is that the f4 hispanos have the ability to kill at what to me seem "unrealistic" ranges. Atleast compared to any other 20mm type in AH. Whether this is modeled "accurately" or not is up to Tony Williams and those who "know" and HTC. I take what they give me. I am buying the product they are selling because its fun. I am not buying it in the hopes that they will make it exactly the way I tell them to.

I have "squeaked" about hos and have been really mad at the guys who seem to just about stall reaching for that ho. That is more out of frustration and the human condition to blame others before looking at ones self.

Any way my 2 cents

Not one bad thing said about a P-51!  Hehe

Ditto Dago!

If I elect to make it a HEAD-ON situation, I am prepared to face what might happen when the lead hits my plane.......As far as the comments go, most people fly with ch.1 squelched anyways.......say anything ya want
cause they never see it...Just looks like whining to everyone else.
