Things That Shoot Backwards.
No. I am not whining. Flight sims are what they are. You play them or not. I have just wondered, for a long time, why no one ever built a fighter only sim. TTSB are just another HO. And HO's are just connection test, as we all know. I have proven this to my satisfaction. You can also, for that matter. About a year ago I ask a guy in a bomber to just shoot at me with the left waist gun. Not to cross over to the right as I passed. As it turned out, I got lucky and hit the pilot, boom. He blew before I crossed over his line of flight. I counted to 2 Mississippi before I started hearing hits. Unmistakable net lag.
I asked.
He said that he never even got the chance to try to switch sides, even if he had wanted to. Well, that was an HO even if it was from the rear/side of the plane. If you dive on a PT boat and find yourself back in the tower still hearing hits. You just had an HO with lag. You HO the ammo. Not the object. Now ask yourself. Have you ever shot a fighter from his six and heard lag hits. I dont think so:)

Anyway, this leads me to belive that there would be a fair sized market for a fighter only, WW2 flight sim. I sure as heck would play it.

Sweet boozonics, cheers.

Still, play it, but not pay it?

Wish, want, then knock yourself out.

Fire out $14.99 and you could be the voice of reason for MA . I have no idea what you said, cool.

If all you want is to furball, then why engage bombers, pt's, and gv's? They certainly can't engage you.

Majic. I dont kow what that has to do with someone building a fighter only game. But If your talking about AH, the game is set up to force you to go after them. That is if you want your plane available, or dar, ect. Its rigged to force you to HO. All the MMP flight sims are.
I know game producers cant do anything much, about the internet. But I can. I can duck an HO with a fighter. If I was not forced to deal with TTSB I could just ignore them.

I think you are just afraid of Ttsb-Things that shoot back. Must hurt your feelings to not be able to sneak up on a poor Sod and blast him from his nap.
