Now I take offense that you want to generalize all of us "Big Blue babys" into one category.
Now on another note I can't wait to find you hanging out in a Niki or whatever you like. I will take my slow turning Corsair and do my best to wipe your shadow making tail out of the AH sky. As I would try to do with Batz/Wotan/what ever his nick was last time he left but I am not going to go down that road. I don't "duel" any longer either so don't try that route with me either. Time just isn't a thing I have an abundance of any longer.
I did see you saying I was a Niki jockey, you clearly do not know me well.
I understand some simply "want" the C-Hog. But insisting that if our "wants" are not met the world is somehow unfair and arbitrary is tyrant-child behavior.
I have never dueled, except like this and you all have lost badly here so . . .
I suggest that if "your guys" don't want to be flamed they should not spend all their time in incessant whining about the same stupid subject. Come on, lighten up and fly.
As noted, I'll fly Blue all week to see how put out they are. So far I'd say I would rather be in Big Blue than White Chrysanthemum. How many more advantages do we need?
My real comments, that no one wants to discuss on seeing as they are so busy knee jerking into little screams and spasms (thanks for proving my point) is that:
1) The materiel difference and the qualitative and quantitative differences in the airwar (numbers of available trained pilots and sheer numbers of aircraft) are not modeled into this game or these setups. Thus, when the Japanese side is competitive against the F4 people worry about historical issues that cannot be built into a setup. E.g., no newbs to fly in Niks of inferior build-out.
2) Last time the big Blue tears were rolling down the cheeks and "your guys" were competing for "nancy boys of the Universe" titles, I suggested that we build an Island Hopping Map that emphasized taking Islands that are heavily fortified and put in lots of boats, all Allied Aircraft asked for (excepting the English planes) and let the Navy have it's day against shipping and Island targets and the sons of Nippon.
I still think that's a swell idea, but I don't see the Big Blue association of milquetoaster poopy pants boys jumping in with both feet and asking for/volunteering to help build same. Perhaps it is being built in secret?
So, to prove once and for all that you plucky fellows are simply whiners and will never be happy, I am offering what little time I have--and I doubt you have less--to assist in the building of an Island Hopping map, a simple one that utilizes some terrains we have already, anything I can do to help build a map that allows all US Iron to be employed in the Pacific so the Navy boys can have their day in the sun, I will do whatever I can. You can all sit back and whine while I try to do it, but I must say: I have zero experience on this and will need tons of help. In fact, I could never be the lead on this project but I will devote precious flying time to same if we want to do this, as a community. Lots of Islands, lots of stuff to blast and bomb, maybe a few large Jap bases representing Rabaul, etc. I would only ask that we build this out and have representative planes of their classes without having only one type predominate. That is, limited availability of say Nikis and C-hogs to a few bases/ships. I would even suggest we leave the Chog and Niki out till the last day or two, kind of a mini rolling planeset. I don't find the P-38 to be too much plane for the Japanese--few in the game know how to fly one. Those that do are scary . . . but when I see them in a Jap ride I reckon I kill as often or more as be killed by one. Or heck, have it be Navy/Marines only with maybe a few 38-eligible bases.
But really, you and your guys do whine too much, if they have been criticized for it in the past as you indicate, perhaps there is a reason for it? The thin skin you guys show off when any one says anything about a US plane shows your biases up quite plainly. They are just planes, it is only a game. Lighten up, the whole point of my posts on this subject is to get you fellows to examine your complaints a bit and lighten up just a tad OK? If I go over the top, well, that's the way you all come off.
I appreciate your coming in to side with your mates, it's obvious your squad is tight and that is a good thing, but taking it to the point of detriment of the entire community because you all, like petulant, tyrant children, simply have to have your way is obscene.
Really, you fellows should know I go over the top simply because it is a reflection of your posts, I know you'll knee jerk back like y'all did, and y'alls whining is becoming quite inane. Might just fly for a few weeks and screw the worrying about what the setup is, ehhh? I find it to be far more enjoyable that way. Or you guys could drop your membership until the game reflects what you want, or as noted, build your own flight sim. But trying to constantly hijack every outing for the sake of a few guys who petulantly insist they can never be wrong . . . . it gets tiresome.
Oh, I fly for no side, usually the less numbered side, but as noted, I'll be in Blue all week, regardless of numbers, just because.
Yours,
Sakai (out)
