The reason I welcome the pizza map is because the cherry picking or mass suicide jabo tactics are much more difficult to deploy. One has to think and to plan. And that is why it draws so many condemnatory posts.

Really? the pizza map encourages it. It's easy to launch against an undefended field. We flew a mission on squad night and asked the Rooks to come and get us when we got bored on our way 6 sectors over enemy airspace. Pizza map requires no planning as you could capture a field with two pilots if you should so wish, where's the fun in that? no-one to contest you?

beetle that because of the players.... even in an rps nothing stops bomber dweeebs from dive bombing flak panzers.........

look at tonnage on target crap over at wb3.

its all the same ..........

il2 has some hugest dweeb clans ever seen on earth.........despite all its "realism"........

I am no fan boi if something better comes along I, like lots of folks, will go there.

Even if this 28sweep guy had good ideas I wouldnt care. Every time I log on I gotta re squelch him because hes always running his mouth about something. People arent "flaming" this guy because he critices AH. They doing because hes a loud mouth. By just being in AH he harms it more then any of his suggestions can help.

I had been vocal in other situations where guys jump all over some one about whining. This is truly a different case. This guy never stops going on and on not just whining but with name calling and insults.

For the 1st time ever I will quote Dowding

You are a pain in the arse in game, and it appears you are a pain in the arse out of it.

Ditching the special events would lose a significant proportion of AH players - people who long since lost interest in the MA hamster wheel. Moreover, despite your assertion that most special events 'sux', many people enjoy them hugely.

Ironically, your inane channel 1 banter does AH no favours when it comes to new players - and it is they who contribute to AH's success/failure.

Wotan...your out of line budd...ya I got a loud mouth but I never flame anybody that didn't start it. Where I come from-trash talking is part of the game. I never get personal unless some dork decides to take shots at me. As far as being good for the game-I always wear the AH badge..at airshows, at work-I am personaly responsible for getting 5 people into this game-not two week wonders but guys on thier 2nd year. Don't tell me Im bad for the game. I got a loud mouth but I never get rude unless you asked for it.......

I hope AH does something quick to grow the community this can be a fun game at times.

Woohoo looks like there will be alot of single women soon!

life is good.

What is 28Sweeps callsign? I've never seen him say a word on text. He must be bish or rook, because I keep channel 1 squelched.

I actually tried to unsquelch it last week. I could stand the mindless blather for all of 7 minutes. (Literally, I clocked it.)

Someone was going on and on about the state of Welfare in America.

Bliss= .squlech 1

Yeah. Trash-talking. Makes you look like a real tough guy. In a computer game. Behind a computer screen. lol!

Has the unpleasant side effect of making channel 1 a 'must-squelch' every single time.

Thanks, fella.

Wotan - you've quoted me before. It's just agreeing with the quote which has never happened.

28sweep

I dont wanna argue with you and I dont know you. All I know is that .squelch 28sweep has become a regular thing for me and from what I hear I am not alone. I am not one to call some out like this and I have defended folks from the whine police and the channel 1 censors. But over the past couple of weeks of "Jesus is an American" and the other "trash talking" it has become a bit much.

If like you say you just want ah to be better game then maybe tone it back some but from what I have experienced I just gotta call like I see it. I dont think I am alone in my observation.

Yup, must be why I am confused now.........

Revvin- By thinking and planning I had two things in mind.

The pizza map fields are too far apart for cherry picking to be viable, and many are at altitudes that would have the LA7s wheezing.
You can't just go and grab one of the outer crust vehicle fields - well, not always. Sometimes you need to work as a team - one person fly jabo, another provide cover/diversion, and another to fly a goon.

Lazs - Me? wrong? Which part of my sig did you not agree with this time?

all of it? ;]

Keez · « **Reply #54 on:** December 02, 2002, 03:51:36 PM »

A quick side-note about Laz's comment about Beet1e being wrong...

Being a victim of crime is not the same as being a victim of murder. Two very different things.

In fact, your article only proves that Beet1e is right. If there are really so many crimes, but so few murders... and if in America, there is so little crime but so many murders... then voila, Beet1e is right and guns should be banned.

That was easy. I hope your next try is better, Lazs

It's called sarcasm, people. And we listen to our customers quite a bit. More than you realize.

And users get tired of it. Quite a bit. More than YOU realize.

(other than that, this thread is silly)

"Jesus is American" is funny...lol I say things like: "I'm going to change the tires on my house etc"..just to ham it up a bit while climbing to altitude...thats my personality...just talking smak and having fun...never getting too nasty or foul unless I am attacked. Last time I checked this is a game right. Maybe your just a bit to serious...................

Revvin · « **Reply #57 on:** December 02, 2002, 05:54:13 PM »

I don't agree on those points Beet1e, I feel it's quite easy to cherry pick a target, partly due to the size and partly because the fields are not all that apart from each other, it was mentioned on our squad night that as a whole we felt the map was too cluttered with fields. The outer crust can be fun but again catch them on the hop and before ya know it you've eaten halfway round the crust before a defense can be put up, even more so with GV spawn points so close to opposing fields.
