And how empty is it to say 'Wide, you don't even deserve a reply because you're only ranked 303th in the attack damage/death+1 score while I'm ranked 1st!' (please check...it's pretty amazing how the score system computes ranking...).

Lectures from people I don't consider as experts, and especially when I haven't asked for, particularly annoy me. So, if you think you've discovered the Holy Grail of ACM in the 'flat-out-on-the-deck-extension-after-a-divebomb-attack'...do I have to continue?

Finally, if you feel personally attacked by my 2 previous posts....well I'm sorry I had guessed right.


Oh, btw, I don't feel the FM2 should be perked. But I think its ENY value should be lowered to around 25 (like the A6M5). It is a really easy plane to fly and fight in: I bagged 4 kills in it during my 1st sortie....and as you pointed out I am a dweeb.


Nice try at deflecting the issue with a strawman argument, but that plow won't scour.

We had discussed why the original Tiffy driver lost his fighter.  My example was presented to show what he should have done. Inasmuch as this community has a fast growing body of noobs, that information maybe useful to them. Old hands already know this.

It was not a lecture in any sense of the word nor assumed anything about anyone. Your comment, "Gee Widewing thanks for this valuable lecture about how to attack a VH...." was nothing less than condencending. My response, was in line with your tone, "deSelys, based upon the numbers posted in your last 10 tours, clearly an expert on your level has no need for such examples..."

As to this misplaced remark, "Lectures from people I don't consider as experts, and especially when I haven't asked for, particularly annoy me."

Hmm... Define "expert" please. Does hitting your targets and rarely getting shot down qualify? If not, WTF does? Then again, I don't consider myself an expert, but note that the "experts" won't disagree either.

Secondly, I do not need your permission to post anything. Are you clear on that? Are you annoyed? Aw, poor little deSelys, life's tough isn't it?. Get a grip.....

Finally, I assigned the value to your initial comment solely based upon its merit, which was zero, being nothing more than a snide, ill mannered troll, that ramped up to a personal attack when you were confronted.

Hey Widewing,

The misunderstanding was done by me.

I really thought you were annoyed because you thought this guy's complaint was going to possibly cause some change in perk values, etc. In that context, I was just saying 'don't worry about it'.

I try really hard to believe you...but....somehow...I can't.



We could continue this forever, and we would both look like tulips (if we don't already), but I prefer to let you win this one. I don't have the eloquence nor the free time to make worthy replies to your prose.

Of course you have the right to post what you want, don't misunderstand me. And I have the right to say what I think about it, if I feel the need. Don't worry for me, I'll survive this ordeal.

Btw, about the 'personal attack': I edited my last post 20 mins before you replied. I apology again (no irony intended).

Where do I begin ?

Widewing, trying from multiple angles I'm striking out on all attempts.

If I've struck out, well it's not from giving a shot.

Last shot, I'll give it a go.

I see what your attempting to accomplish, and I see what your attempts are resulting in. Evidently you don't.

You are accomplished in what you set out to do. What you fail to realize is that "your" goals don't necessarily transpose to the goals of the general populous and are rebuffed on a regular basis.

WHY is that ???

The primary reason, the most important reason,  is that everything you post says "LOOK AT ME", aren't I just the cat's meow.

Well, if a person is attempting to do as you do, you WOULD have some valuable information on how to go about doing as you do.

The VAST majority of players here could give a rats patooot about doing what you do, or on how to go about it.

Fellow squad member deSelys only posted a general feeling on what your posts convey.

Put your ear to the rails, you'd have to be deaf to not hear what they say...

I on the other hand thought you could give me some tips or insites on "mindset" which I wrote to you on Saturday I believe. For some strange reason it must have been lost in the mail.......

Never heard back :confused:

No matter..

In contrast, I recieved some films from Wldthing on Drex doing his "Drex" thing, and wrote him back a thanks...

And wouldn't you know it ?? Drex dropped me a film that he did last night because...

He's got class.

And that has nothing what so ever to do about his score ;)

You just don't get it. I got a couple of years on ya, and I see a green shade in the chest area.

Fogitabotit..

I'm done, finished, the bottle of milk, the checkered flag, the Ms. Alabama smack on the kisser.........

Not to speak of the endorsements...

And by the way deSelys is one of those guys that hands people their lunch

I talked about "lunch" but it got lost in the mail..........



<> hold the phone - OH MY GOD !!<< edit >>

LOL :D Took a look at the films that Wldthing and Drex sent me...

You want to see what 99.999 % of the general populous would give there left "man orb" to be able to do  ???

It ain't got nothin to do with score. Score is something you strive for when "this" isn't in the realm of possiblity..

If you can do this, score is silly..

REALLY silly.

Of course score isn't in there for me either,  my cross to bear.

Noticed over time that the guys with "stone" pretty much know it, don't need anyone to tell them they do, and lend a helping hand when they can..

What a concept..

So I have my choice, I'll take this..

In a HEARTBEAT :D

Drop me a mail, hopefully it won't get lost..

But I've noticed mail has been sorta iffy lately Widewing ;)

Sorry Poop, everything from here goes to an account I check about once a week. I found it and will answer you tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay, my fault.

Talk to you later.

Yea!  Typical!

Perk the Me262!!

I was flying along in my 262 and I caught this C47 as he did not extend like he should of after the drop of drunks!   I was able to catch him in his turn and pinged his wing with 27 30mm shots!  If he would of extended he would of outpaced me.

He called over Ch1 to "Perk the 262!!!"

Yea!  Perk the 262!  HA!  Fat chance!!!

What a dweeb!!

I'm pretty sure I increased my score with the downing of that C47!!!

Hail Swagger!!!!!

Hey Poopster! Pardon my being late, but I’ve had some complications here. My aunt (and God Mother) died early Monday morning. Then, as if that was not quite enough, my daughter’s boyfriend of the past year died last evening as a result of a head injury sustained when he was tossed from a pickup truck that struck a telephone pole (he was riding in the truck bed). He was just 18 and looking ahead to college. So, I will try to squeeze my e-mail in between work and wakes. Maybe even get some flying in too (I can use the distraction).

My best,

Widewing

Very sorry to hear this Widewing. My condolances to your daughter and the boy's family. Death at such a young age is a tragic occurance.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Jeez Wide man and I thought I had a bad day.

When you can, no problem, take care of business and wish the family all the best.
