Title: Arlo Why don't more come to CT??????
Post by: bustr on September 24, 2004, 02:09:40 PM
Arlo,

Why don't more from the MA come to the CT? I've had the best fights in AH here since I opened my account in April last year. Last night I kept pinching myself thinking we were in the AW wayback days.:D By the way, you are baddd in that A5. I never knew you could keep it in a sustained turn that long.

Oh well just more fun for me if they are too scared to face you Arlo from the MA......heheheheee;)

SHHHHH...its a strategy. Get him so full of himslef and he'll be too busy looking at himself in the rear view mirror. Then I can just fly up behind him and go BOOOOOMMMMMM. Other wise he's just gonna shoot me down again.;)

The CT is the closest anyone has come to duplicating the separate FR Fightertown arena that we had in about...1997-98?  Generally speaking, the fights are the best, and so are the people.

Listen to VW .... I ain't. But this VW fella - he's the bestest. Always flys the inferior plane and racks up the kills. :D

Why don't more fly the CT? It's a different world, I reckon. Younger players comin' into the game that never once built a model of a P-40 or Wildcat and imagined themselves in the seat of the real thing. Gamers who equate AH to the gang mentality they're inundated with in school, music and on TV.

Well .... it's a theory, anyway. :lol

It's like the first time going to the range. Someone just has to take you. CT is worth it for the adhoc vox communication. You don't get that many people in the MA just start calling the cons out and adlib attack stratagys. The real time communication during fights is priceless. But what do I know anyway. I'm just one of those Ol'farts who used to play too much AW long time ago.

As Arlo has stated once before, AH lost a few people with the update to AH2. I also think that people are run off by the challenge of fighting in the CT. In the MA you can take a good plane (i.e Spits, Hurri) and fly them when ever they want. In the CT people have too learn strategy and know how too use your planes strengths against your opponet. I think it takes more skill too fly well in the CT than in the MA. Pluss I love the enviornment of the CT. Same people most of the time and u make some ggod friends.<> CT flyer's

the main reason i do not fly in the ct is numbers,most times there is only 5 to 10 in there {and that is giving a few extras} and i just dont want to spend all my limited flight time trying to find something to shoot at,that and the old ct staff was very stale i understand that they are electing new ct staff,maybe ,just maybe someone will breathe some fresh air into the setups,a bob setup every other week gets lame,,,,,well new ct staff .....its up to u now

The BoB is not run every other week. The CT is usually the busiest at night with thursday night being the "prime time" for CT action. I dont know what times you can fly but try thursday nights to start with if you can.

Its tough for any staff when they only have two maps to work with for CT friendly setups. BUT the map guys are hard at work converting old maps to new standards and hopefully adding in new things to make them better.

Its the CT fighters are better than Ma fighters attitude that some have in the CT that spoils it for me. Some just feels the need to pop off at the mouth for no reason. I come to the CT when I get bored with the game play in the MA just to find out that it is worse in the CT on some aspects.

Solution:

Then bring in some more killers willing to spank all the wannabes.

Sounds like a fun plan. (I think)

Arlo,

You gotta stop singing Norse Eddas in the CT on open channel. Some folks will have heart attacks and others will think you are talkin smack about their sheep. :confused:  Oh thats right, you don't shoot very well so the singing is your secret whepon.;) Well I think Freyer and Frigga need you to help them with their chest plates.................:)

Alot of CT guys feel the fights in the CT are better than the MA, I think when they voice this its misinterpreted as "elitism". Some may look down their nose at the MA and vice versa. All in all hte CT core is a good group of people.




Some just feels the need to pop off at the mouth for no reason.

Thats in no way exclusive to the CT or Aces High.

Slash,
The point is that the CT is supposed to be a better place to play. With the numbers so low the community should be closer than the MA community. In the MA you should expect that out of the 400 online with the 10% rule 40 will talk trash. In the CT with 14 people online half of the  CT pilots are talking trash. I have pretty much figured out who they are and it seems to come from one squad the most. The problem is those who talk trash are not even all that good. I have had more arguments in the ct since I started going in there last month then my 3 years in the MA combined. I get shot down in engagements where I am outnumbered 4 to 1 and the guy who kills me says I suck... Yet you guys want to bring in more players?

I'm not trying to say that did not happen to you Jamusta, but my experience in the CT is pretty much the opposite. In fact one day Oldman and I were having a good 1v1 that was taking forever, neither of us were giving the other many angles, then some hero in a FW comes diving in at high speed spraying 20mm all over me. That happens every day in the MA where I cannot even remember the last fair fight i had, but in the CT, Oldman actually apologized for the offense (and he did nothing).

Just saying my experience the CT guys display more sportsmanship  overall, although the amount of HO'ers will increase any time the N1K is in the planeset :D

I dont mind getting ganged. Anyone who has flown against me knows I intentionally put myself in a bad situation. I do this to get work on my SA. I dont appreciate the mouthing afterwards like they did some super flying or something. There are some great sticks in the CT I'm not denying that but the ones that seem to talk trash are the almost average players who think they are good sticks.

I dont disagree that it happens, I see it all the time. I do disagree with 50% of people in the CT are a-hole trash talkers. I have no answer for why a few feel the need to constantly run thier mouth. I guess you just have to chalk up human nature. The only way to handle them is tune them out  and send them to the tower. Which Im sure you do with ease:D

Jamusta,

Last night you flew great in the CT. Webferret had a whiney on though. I think he has a hardware problem running the game. I upped a P47D-11 last flight for some laughs. Wound up slow and low, finally flew into a hanger rubbernecking at the 190 and 109 who could not figure out how to get on my six. They had alt, E, and the kitchen sink. But the fights are lots more fun than the MA right now. Just keep your 3rd eye on that high vulchin Dora. Seems to always be one.:)

Hello folks,

  I throughly enjoyed last night in the CT. Had some great fights and lots of sportsmanship. Jamusta simply amazes me in that razorback.

  I would however like to apologize to anyone that I may have offended. I was in a pretty good mood and when I get in one my mouth likes to run. I know I said a few things to webferet that may have been out of place, but we got that worked out between us. Once again my apologies if I offended anyone with either words or actions.

 See ya'll tonight.

 Robert
