Last post as its going in circles much like your flying
think its silly but if folks will register for an event and have fun doing it then why not.
Ofcourse it would be a secondary life. If you had read the above then the majority of your last post wasnt necessary.
I have been apart of every event run in ah except midway (I had just co'd BoB and just wanted to fly). Dont pressume to tell me about events.
For that matter fariz was right. He didnt wanna fly bombers and he didnt register to do so. On the IJN side we went without bombers rather then try to bully people into flying planes they dont want.
Events like the ct is about fun. Events arent some self sacrificing "take one for the team" bs. Thats not why folks fly them. If they were we would never be short bomber pilots.
If you look back at most of the events the guys that were on my side all had fun. Read the the allied forums from the last event you see quite a few disgruntled flyers. So dont tell me which style works because you would be wrong. This was the same as Niemen, happy axis, grumpy allies.
Blachwitch is great co and put up a fun fight we just had different ways of addressing the lack of bombers. We decided "so what" if we dont have bomber pilots and the allies expected that folks would just jump right over to fly and fill their bomber slots. Folks dont like bombers in events because the level of fun is low. Witch beat me convincingly in BoB when he didnt have to fill bomber slots. His startegy also was excellent. I had trouble filling ju88s with experienced pilots and we couldnt hit our assigned targets.
All I care about when co'ing or xo ing or just flying is that the guys around me have fun. Thats it. Win, loose or draw it doesnt matter.
With all your squeaking you could have applied to join the cm ct staff and you certainly can volunteer to Co the next event and show the rest of us how its done.
I fly other games like il2/fb. I have been on 2-3 hour misisons and no kills and have had a blast. But il2 looks good enough and the eng management, formation flying and SA keeps the fun level up. Ah has ugly cockpits, auto climb, dots that can be spotted at very long ranges. Theres just not enough going on to be fun. In FB 2 kills per hour isnt that bad. In ah 2 kills per hour is tedious and boring especially in something called the
Combat Theater.
In the mission set up there will be more going on then just flying about. Attack approaches, proper positioning, wingman tactics, exit strategies etc...
None of that is important now even in events. The last event was the first time since big week that plane losses mattered. In the others it was kill building xxx and use your fighters to get your bombers to that building regardless of the costs. Its all about brute force and ultimately ends in a huge furball "fight to the death" where strategies and things like "mission kills" are irrelevant. In Niemen it was wave after wave of allied planes. Losses didnt matter as long as they captured a field. It was a miracle that we held out.
In the mt a small force could hold off a larger not by killing them all but preventing them from completing their mission. You just need cause or threaten to cause enough losses to turn them back. The death penalty allows for this, if not they would keep throwing themselves at the target until its dead. All these things may be alien to you so I dont expect you to understand them.
Different arenas have different types of fun. Its not about killing but the "fight" and everything it entails. "Fight" in the mt will have a different meaning then in the ct or even in events.
Just like our ideas of fun in the ct differ, you prefer quite areas and I like the areas with lotsa bad guys. You avoid dogfights, I look for them. I really dont care if thats what you like I just dont like getting caught up in those ridiculous chases that go round and round with nothing happening. Extend 10k away yo yo come back half assed ho atttempt run 10k yo yo repeat. I can avoid every ho so they wont kill me, I cant catch you so I cant kill them so here we go complete boredom. Sometimes the smack talk gets umm fired up enough to fight. A bit a friendly ribbing and if they dont bite I leave. I believe that harshest word I used was wuss. So dont try to portray my smack as anything more then just friendly taunting. "Run Forest Run", "Come back ya wuss", "ok I am done with the island tour". Thats about as bad as it gets. Oh forgot "this is boring".
