However, that DOES NOT mean we respect your mad l33t sKillZZZ. We merely respect your right to make those choices and enjoy them. It absolutely DOES NOT mean that we're not going to laugh at your choices and the "styles" that result.
That’s not what came over at all. There is a difference between what you said above, and posting insults and name calling on the BBS when someone doesn't play your way. Too bad if you don’t know what that difference is, but it seems you’re not alone. Of course I realise that people not playing your way is a thorn in your side.
As for AH’s declared intent – an air combat sim – erm... the buffs have always been in there. Indeed, my very first kill on a trial account c1999 was a 2-ping hit on the tail of a B17. Down he went... On the HTC home page, the caption is
Welcome to the Internet’s Premier WWII Combat Experience! and not "Welcome to the Furball Club". One assumes that “combat” includes exchanges between bombers and fighters, and this was certainly a major component in the Battle of Britain, for example, in which the LW sent waves of bombers across the channel with Me109 escorts. Oddly enough, Goering
did NOT send waves of Me109s to furball with Spitfires. There would have been no point. And that's the same reason that I don't play the furball game in Aces High.
But feel free to do what Rude does. Next time you see something in AH that you don't agree with (eg. your personal bogeyman, the impregnable pintle gunner on a PNZR) add justification to your argument to have the game changed by citing that the scenario "would not have occurred in WW2". That always cracks me up. Selective Realism™ at work...
So yes, I’ll be at 15-20K – in fact I was up there duffing buffs the other night, during MetaTron’s raid on Rook HQ. If anyone thinks that’s a non-skilled job they should try it out for themselves instead of calling us sky accountants.
Some furballer’s act like a bunch of poison dwarfs. They whine if a raid on HQ takes down the radar for their country, but pour scorn on those who take measures to prevent it from happening.
MetaTron – it was a good raid you guys did. I have the film of the whole thing as seen from Rook eyes, including the voxx exchanges and the wet hanky moment.
I arrived on the scene after taking down a B17 formation. You guys fought hard, and you yourself were the last one to fall. But tsk tsk for being caught in an easymode plane.
I’ll email it to you if you want it.

What you don’t understand (and it's no secret at all) is that the non-furballers don’t care
what you think of us! That's not the same as relishing BBS insults though.
