Question: Why do you enjoy furballing without mission objectives?

i've had far more 's this tour than i've had all my previous tours, why? because i've been furballing

A good fight deserves a salute' regardless of outcome. Furballers love what they do and the vast majority Salute' a good fight.

I think it's kinda special with the furballer.

Can't Salute' a cherry picker if he picked your cherry, I mean really ??    Kill the cherry picker and he's so busy killin his dog you won't get a reply

When taking bases, talking to the hanger or building you just blew up is sort of like talking to a cardboard box. It listens, but it doesn't have a food hole....

Yep, furballers are special.

Honest to goodness real live people that are trying to kill you...

Come to think of it, that last sentence is too wierd..

Because it's only a virtual life, and dogfighting is a lot of fun.  I've said it before, but it's like boxing or martial arts, with planes and no pain.

Because a 6 year old can "man" a tank/bomber, successfully.  I dont think one can out fly me.

ccvi bud!
i fuball sometimes to test my ACM skills (however bad they are)
but i do agree with you... wish there was more emphasis on stratgic battles.
in advance to all you who say goto the CT or whatever...
there is never the #'s that the MA has and it's usually full of uber pilots. (no fun to be killed all the time since i suck:))

fun.  pure and simple fun.  Maybe I will get to do this more after the current TOD is done.  Putting in a lot of my weekly AH time into getting things ready for Friday's.

As for salutes...  I give 'em when the fight is memorable.  To give them out after every good fight cheapens the salute, IMO.  I flew for a bit on Saturday, in both CT and MA.  Only one fight deserved a and hblair gave it to me in the CT.  Of course it was me in a Boston and him in a 109, some fight...  However, since it was hblair, he got a instead of a .  Damn Bobby hater doesn't deserve a !
