D. None of the above.


I usually spawn an Ostie or an M16 with tracers turned off and drive to the nearest enemy field I can spawn at and hide in one of the enemy hangers and vulch them as they take off.

C. Without looking for another arena. I think HT put it in so us old eyes would get to take a break.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I get my aircraft into an unusual attitude, lose control then stall, spin or spiral into the ground with an explosion that lights up the countryside for a moment.

I go hunting for the inevitible GV attack or NOE raid. There's lots of action during the sunset/night/sunrise transition, catching and attacking either kind of attack at sunrise or sunset adds alot of immersion for me.

I do have my Vcard tweeked a bit brighter at all times, but only because of the Nvidia Direct 3D's normaly dark picture.

generally C except for dawn/twilight when i might stick around longer.

i don't believe in "B"  it's as gamey as anything else others whine about being gamey and defeats the intent.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

C. I log and go play something else, i hate night.
