steve will have a hard time doin that.....and trust me...i won't be WAAAAAY up there

Huh? Slo, whacha talking about dude? Way up where? You might find me occasionally at the nose bleed alt of 10k or so.. even 12k if I go afk while grabbing.

As for having a hard time shooting you down, unless your connect has suddenly gone South, I don't remember you being any more, or less, difficult to shoot down than the bulk of the population in the MA.

The funniest part of this debate is how many used to whine about the 13th being alt warriors, yet you Beetle, seem to think that none of us understand your great commission.

I believe it is those with the twinkle toes, who dance in the heavens, that have no clue as to how any of us who fight real fights in the weeds could possibly have any fun. Oh, there's that word again...fun...bottom line here, is if you are having fun flying way up there and killing at the rate of 3-4 kills per hour, that's great, it's your dime....just don't expect the rest of us to admire your behavior.

Neither your opinion or ours carries more weight than the other....it's just that we are right and you cloud hoppers are limiting your enjoyment of the game...you just don't realize it...yet:)

Funny how the recently converted usually become the biggest zealots

.

Rood, by the same token, those that only fly 3 or 4 different planes limit their enjoyment of the game. You are just a one trick pony driver (well...mostly former pony driver

).

I'm no fan of Pizza, but I can't say I've ever had a problem finding a fight. Other maps are far worse for finding fights quickly (BI!). Travelling 1 sector or so does not constitute a long flight to find that fight. And yes, I usually like to be around 10 - 15K above the terrain to start. Been flying the P-38 90% of the time this month and am starting to get very comfy in it.

Ran into Silat and one of his squaddies (Sry I didn't catch his name) last night at 20K+ (afk too long?) over water. I was diving in on his squaddy's 38 and happened to look back and see Silat's spit divin on my 38 at d1.6K.. Figured I was done for, but had to try and get a shot on 1 of them... never happened, though I did evaid for a few passes... damn spits!! lol... I not not an alt-monkey, rather i start out high to look around.. then I will always dive into the frey. Some of the best fights I have had are 1 v 1 between 10-15K, others have been in the canyons on Pizza... It's all good...

If anyone is going to ride my backside on their way to number 400, I'm glad it was you:)

BTW....I fly three planes now:p

Furious...

I was thinkin' beer bottles in the parking lot. I could be wrong though

Rood....

That last post of yours leaves a lot of room for interpretation. I think I'm gonna leave it at that

Am I in the right forum? Is this the place where you post your stats then rave about how good you are?

Wow Honch. That's actually exceptional for a P40 stat set.

PERK THE P40!!!!

But seriously, way to go bud. If I ever decide to learn the P40 (It's still quite warm in hell), you're the Ace I'm going to be talking to.

Sir Honch, you obviously have no skill at all.

The problem with it is that the degradation/resupply equation is completely out of whack. And probably everyone but you understands and agrees with that statement.

Where is the problem? If your fuel gets porked back to 25%, just follow your own considered advice, and take off from one field further back. Let the enemy capture your porked base (which you don't care about anyway) and continue fighting from the "new" front line. No need to even consider all those M3/Goon resupply runs, so that's a moot point. Just abandon the fuel-porked base and take off from one field further back.

Still confused?

taking off one field back is good advise for people that feel that the fields are too close together... it is an extremely poor idea for those that feel the fields are too far apart.

By gofaster... "I can't imagine how bad it is when the Europeans are on and the numbers hover around 150 players instead of the 400 or 500 US players. I would imagine it looks like a wasteland, like.... a dessert!"

Yes it does, last couple nights I've been on the total numbers have been around 70 players.

lazs ...

Beet is being obtuse ... he usderstands this all too well. He is just throwing fuel on the fire to keep it going just for the sake of keeping it going.
