Yep, as you pointed out before, that's a great choice when an unpopular map is up. A generic solution, which can apply to any MA map - depending on the individual player's point of view. :D

Straffo,

Think "a precise hit in the exact dead center of the target".

Better?

Now, rutt, it is UNFAIR to lassie to call him a hypocrite.  He has worked for YEARS to arrive at the exalted state of "deluded".  Give the man credit for his efforts.

Obviously bears repeating.

Fester,

Thank you.:D

This map is the most fun Ive had playing AH. Also it constantly gives me dejavu's of AW.:)

I'm sorry some dont like it. It's helped me to appreciate driving GV, flying bombers, JABO with P38(Hate P38), and finaly fly ME109-G10.

This is a good all around fun map. Please make some more Fester.:D

so can everyone else.   that is the problem for the "poor gameplay" types... people aren't forced to play with them... players have the opportunity to play like anal strat dweebs.... they just don't...

It is like I have said many times... given opportunity people will have fun.    Festabria gives opportunity... people are having fun.

The "no good gameplay" types are basicaly saying that they don't like the map because mommy isn't making people play with them.


Let's see.... they can go to the CT and organize "missuns" or they can make their own map or...

I played plenty on this map 2 nights ago, and had fun. I flew 109G6 most of the time. Hmmm, kept getting cherrypicked by Spit ix. It's only problem if lone wolfing. Maybe a guy sees me on radar, and comes up not from the field that I have flown to, but the one next door which is now only about 3 minutes away. I was afraid we might see that. One solution would be to go back to the G10 for survivability, but I didn't need to. Some more friendlies arrived, and the cherrypicking evaporated.

BTW diving down on a much lower con doesn't work well in a 109Gx. It will accelerate rapidly to the point where elevator authority is lost. I could show you how it's done, but that would involve two offensive four-letter F words: Film, and fact. But why bother. You seem happy enough in the land of makebelieve. :D (these comments addressed to no-one in particluar)

I agree! The 109 compression is common knowledge amongst 109 pilots, but LA7 drivers might not know about it!

Cherrypicking - more of a problem the closer the fields are.

Learning something new? Absolutely. I sucked wind in 109s, and made a determined effort to learn them as best I could. I had help from some excellent mentors. :) Again, some folks miss out on that because they don't want to learn ACM (preferring to HO) and make a beeline for the easymode planes.  Very sad. MuckMAW would agree with me. If only we COULD get some guys to try something new.:(

Beetle....

Your remarks regarding many different topics make perfect sense to you....the problem with that is you seem to have limited experience flying or carry a limited skillset with which to employ on any map.

You continually refer to the lonewolf status as being relevant to having fun or surviving in a particular plane....many here have no difficulty surviving in lesser rides than you chose to ride in if that is their goal.

I have a solution to your woes....join a squad...better yet, start one and join up only those of like mind and intent. I realize that would be difficult to do, but given enough time, you can do it I'm sure:)
