this is for you guys to tell us all how you enjoy AH the most.
are you a mad for it furballer?
are you a p-51 dive n' extend, ultimate realism type?
are you an avid bomber?
are you a GV nut?
do you care if you die?
does score matter to you?
nobody will be flamed (current audience pending)
just let us know how AH makes you feel and why it is you spend hour after hour of your life flying the virtual game of games.
My way.
I love furballs like nothing else. I live for the 'catagory 5' fights.
i very much enjoy being outnumbered and low and slow.
i love landing kills, and i love being shot down by superior skills.
I love camping in a pnsr on the edge of an enemy runway :D
I just love serving up death, and gulping down punishment on a monumental plate.
with gravy and trimmings.
its your money and your time, how do you play?
all

I like a bit of everything, especially defending a base vs. CV aircraft.
I'm no score potato, but i like to keep a relatively low score for use on CV's if necessary.
The quicker paced the action the better as far as i'm concerned.
I dont mind dying, its how i die that bothers me. BS puffy ack, collisions that kill me and not them etc.

Hmm, I've never seen anyone stick stir a GV... :D
Anyhow, heres my deal
My main skill is bombing I don't like the new calibration because now anyone can be good at it... It used to be a skill. I'm a wicked gunner too.
I like to furball but I really prefer to have at least one squadmate there to give and get six calls and such.
I tend to mostly keep high E and handle the plane as would be done in real life (yup, I'm a runner) but I don't usually use 51s or La7s, so its still work.
Depending on the day, I do just about everything. I can be the most evil vulching bastard or the most honorable dogfighter. It depends on my mood and to a lesser degree my blood alcohol level. And no matter who doesn't like it, vulching (more to the point, strafing aircraft) was a common and encouraged practice... There are miles of gun camera video to prove it.
-
I like flying La7s, :)
blowing up toolsheds to get my attack rank up, :)
divebombing in buffs and vulching the field afterwards, :)
spawncamping, :)
playing alt monkey and running away if someone is higher, :)
and killing my 2nd account: righty2. :) :) :)
-
i think i love you righty!!
honesty to yourself is what earns my respect.
not that anyone should ever crave my respect. :rofl
-
I like to attack. Then see how many seconds I stay alive. My record is ten! I ain't a real good shooter.
I like GV's but find spawn camping is about as much fun as fishing in a stocked pound. Yeah I get my fish but what's the point.
I like high altitude bombing. 20K or so. I can put it on autoclimb, go eat, do the dishes, then come back in time to line up, sight and drop. Then I can tell my wife "no I wasn't on the sim ALL night!"
I get iinto furballs with the intention of learning, for i know I will surely die quickly.
Most importantly I have fun. If it isn't I log off and do something else.
Peace

i fly what i feel like flying on the day and 1 day il fly a hog then the next il fly a hurr-1
as long as the fighter can fight il enjoy flying it thats why i hate the 190D-9 because it cant fight heck the ME262 is a better turner
some times il jump into a GV
i only like flying a heavy bomber if im with a group of bombers thats great fun
i enjoy hunting bombers alot
i enjoy hunting Gv's from the air alot
most of the time i ether E fight or Turn fight it depends on the plane im flying
i do care if i die but not because of Score i just hate to die and hate that awful sound when you hit the ground
im awful at shooting in fighters i get almost all my kills at 200 or less
400 and farther i almost never even hit them
-
My favorite plane is the 190 (Any Type). I prefer to pick off furball stragglers with it or jump un escorted bombers. If I'm forced to defend a base I will fly an LA-7. You can't beat LA-7 for Base Defense - Its got the ability to Turn & Burn and Boom & Zoom - Best of Both Worlds almost.
My current choice of bombers is B17s / B25s. A bomber sortie is boring without a fighter or two to shoot at.
GVs - although I enjoy a good camp I actually like to hit and fade with them. I'll get a field kill and move so that hopefully the same person will come back looking for me in the previous spot.
I prefer to be offensive but when necessary I will defend. Don't mind handling supply chores when its my turn either.
-
I fly goon quite a bit and will often auger a fighter or bomber if I hear that some of our guys need vehicle supplies.
I get a really twisted joy out of killing vulchers. I will continuously take off from a heavily capped field and will still consider it a victory even if I am shot down twenty times before I get one of them. Should I know that the buzzard took a half dozen of my pelts down with him the taste is even sweeter.
I will build up just enough perks to loose them trying to fly a ME262 inverted through a hanger.
I have spent entire evenings attempting to get kills in Kates and Vals.
In the game, as in life, I take precious little too seriously.
-
I like shooting down airplanes :)
-
I fly fighter planes exclusivly. Im a fighter pilot period.
I like to use equipment that isnt state of the art when I play PvP games. I try to always find my nitche.
The plane I fly 90% of the time is the Yak9U. Im complementing this with some La5FN time. Basicly I just fly russian planes. Only expcetion is when a carrier needs help then I have to choose something else, as there are no russian carrier planes in AH. I fly the Seafire in this situation.
Ive flown the new Ki84 a bit as well but thats mostly because I wanted to feel out the new toy.
When it comes to the fights I prefer its smaller engagments or base defense when it comes to bigger engagments.
Though its sometimes hard to find the smaller fights so I do furball as well but dont like it as much.
My current goal is to win my first 1v2 engagment.
I do care about the stats a bit. I do wana have a kill/death over 1.0. Not because I think it makes me a better pilot but because I wana land kills and return to base. Im not a fan of "rush n spawn" game play. To avoid getting sucked into it I do have the goal of rtbing on as many sorties as I can.
Though I will never let a friendly pilot hang. I hate letting others die to save my skin.
Well thats me...
Tex.
-
I just like giving good fights to everyone.
If someone thinks they can kill me in 5 seconds and it actually takes them 10 . . . Then that’s a victory in my book!
-
Um, I just log in and play.
I stick to mainly GV's tho. I like to drive them. I wear my helmut when I drive.
-
Pretty much a fighter guy, but AK's are more strategy/team oriented so doing more Jabo/buff stuff then before....
Dont care about score and dont RTB much overall. Tend to fly stuff in the ~40 ENY range (current love is the Ki-61)...
The ol "a mig on my 6 is better than no mig at all" fits me pretty well. Dont care what your in dont care where ya are...just want ya to be there...
Of course the "20 rooks on my 6" ISNT better than 2-3 or ya...but thats life in the MA sometimes:)
I go thru furball spurts but I'm not a "good" furballer...really like the good ol 1 on 1, 1 on 2, 1 on 3 better but of course is hard to find now.

I am scared to fight. This is why I only use PT Boats.

are you a mad for it furballer?
I like smaller engagements. I live for the 1 on 1 or the perfect bouce. My F4U-1 vrs some dweeb in a NIK2 co-e co-alt is perfect.
are you a p-51 dive n' extend, ultimate realism type?
Only when doing base defense against heavy numbers. You are allowed to "dweeb" it up against the masses.
are you an avid bomber?
Almost never
are you a GV nut?
Sometimes, I like it but I don't have the patience.
do you care if you die?
Yes
does score matter to you?
Only the K/D and type of A/C killed vrs my ride. I like to know what is killing me so I can kill it first.

maybe if you flew planes a bit you might get better.
a good one to start on is the spit mkV.
try it, you might like it :p

oh... think i should reply about how i fly....
the leather chaff's a little bit after a while of flying, but i live with it. when i "die" i toss lighter fluid on my chair and lite it. the realism of actual physical harm is so immersive. i also keep a 5 gallon bucket of water next to me so if i ditch in the ocean. just throw my head under for a few minutes usually makes me feel like im drowning in my plane.
my landloard is getting a little upset at the calls from those below me. seems the screams, and the water seeping through the floor are not welcome. relaxed realism jerks have to ruin the fun for everyone.
im still working on the smoke filled, slowly pass out to fumes, cockpit, and i think it can be solved with a few more bolws of beans... i will be testing that theroy this week, so if you see a plane just flop over and fall to the deck, it's just me.

I love flying in furballs.
Taking on a buff formation and killing all three buffs with little or no damage to myself.
Roping spits with a Hurricane :rofl
Even better, roping La-7's with a Hurricane :rofl :rofl
When an enemy Carrier pulls up off shore.....those fights ROCK!!
Sometimes I will repeatedly up panzers just to kill spawn campers. Killing the spawn campers brings loads of satisfaction :D
Score? The only score I care about is my gunnery score. When I pull the trigger I want someone to explode....NOW!! :D
-
I live for a massive furball these days. Yanking and banking in the weeds or burining through cherry picking. The only time you will see me running is when I am dragging a large flock or spits and lalas. Or when I get one guy locked on me and want to drag him aways from a bunch of buddys. If I get shot down I am not happy. Wether its from some uber pilot or some dweeb I hate to lose.
About the only time you will see me in a gv is for base defence when FH are all down or the vultch is on too tight. Man I hate getting vultched. Or I will Gv troops some times when there isnt any good furballs to find. Allmost never find me in a tank cant see the point. You shoot some guy 10 times and nothing happens you see his turret turn around 1 shot boom your dead. Too frustrating and you know I hate to lose. Beside most the time you spawn to another base some spawn camping uber shot dweeb is there and you get poped before your engine is started.
While I dont use bombers much still love to fly um. Its great to get 10 15 buff formations up and go whack a target. Love to pop them low level bombers too hope they NEVER get changed.
Find me a good CV right off shore furball and I am real happy.

Speaking of which... did you know that you can spawn in a PT boat in the DA? I think it pops up in one of the fighter hangars and then grounds itself there. But you can still fire everything you've got at passersby.
One night I tested its effectiveness against a Tiger tank. Unfortunately, the entire PT Boat arsenal didn't even take off a tread.

Dive in to the furball, turn and burn until I die......which generally happens quite quickly when I think about it :)
There is a certain satisfaction in getting the high alt B&Z guys to miss a million times too

I have no idea.
I haven't yet found my niche in this sim/game
I like flying planes.
I don't like GV's.
I don't like Buffs.
I don't like dieing.
I someday will find my way in this game and find one thing I can be fairly competant at.
I hear that the Spit V is a good plane to start out in. Although it is slow it has been said that it is a decent model to try out.
I stay away from anything German as I don't have the required leather outfits.
I don't fly much american Iron as I am incompetant to them. Also , chewing tobacco and spitting on the carpet tends to make my wife upset.
Japenese planes make me feel funny. Kind of like a serious craving for saki and a bonzai tree and waxing my car for some reason. Wax On Wax Off
Russian planes make me see Big Women with fat thighs hollering at me to bring more vodka.
Italian planes give me gas.
British planes seem more refined and elegant. They seem very , how do we put it , uppity. So flying one makes me feel good about me. I need that as I am terrible.
SO all in all this is what I do.
Furballs are for children whom are nothing more than gammers. Pure adreneline junkies who have NO SKILL. That is why I fly in them alot.
I AM a Dweeb:rofl
-
Ohhhh...and seeing batfinkV with several cons on his tail...makes for a nice day for me. As I have gotten better and better at clearing his 6. LOL
He makes AWSOME bait.:rofl :rofl :rofl

Interesting poll =)
My preferences for game changes very often and quite strong. What I love to do constantly, is to chat with friends and squadies, fly big scenarios, and keep a lone vulch over the field with 3 skillful guys trying to take off =)
-
I like to furball
I like to BnZ
I fly f4u's p51s and n1k2s I'de like to be good in the 47 and 38 like NB and Ack-Ack
I never head on I normally don't have the guns for it.
I vulch, I alt monkey, I use any advantage I have over the nmy.
My bigest pet peeves are stick stirrers, sore loosers, suicide bombers, and people that expect my highest priority in life be thier servival and to compensate for their poor SA.

The original question reminded me of the basis for "Pilot Rankings"
Originally posted by SNA on dasnakes.com and later furballcentral.com
Ok its about time someone started to put people in classes according to how they fly. There are alot of dweebs that fly, alot of Vets that fly and there are those who are in between that fly. I will do my best to rank you according to how you are viewed by me and what I have seen from you as a pilot in AW. Just because you p*ss me off or act like a d*ck doesnt mean im gonna put you in a low class. Attitude isnt what this chart is all about, its about how you fly and what you have come to achieve as an AW pilot.
[Class 1] fluff'n Dweebs:
These "pilots" have no idea how to fly and their first kill is probably one of their teamates. Their first contact with other pilots looks something along the lines of ''''''///@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%SFA@#%%!@!!. They never stop getting vulched, other players from the other classes always like to see these guys log on. If they dont get some training or help soon they usually lose interest or get pissed off and leave the game alltogether.
[Class 2] Plain old Dweebs:
They have figured out how to get a kill and usually do one of two things; 1. They become a buff "artist" and usually join people as a gunner or decide to milkrun ungaurded bases; 2. They become a poser or a follower and hang around with some of the better pilots picking off the wounded. They usually try to start a squad and then ask everyone they see in HQ to join whether they know them or not.
[Class 3] Vulch/Alt/Gang Dweebs:
These pilots have learned that the easiest way to get a kill is to always have the advantage. To repay their old "buddies" they like to setup the enemy and call it roping. The only real rope they know is to go up and stall, zoom the enemy, go up and stall, and continue that process thinking they are kicking their ass. The ***** tulips and runners fall into this class. They think that the more points they have the better they are.
[Class 4] Furballers:
When Class 3 has learned that nobody really respects the way they fly, they usually will fall into this class and prove themselves worthy. They will go into a fight no matter what. This class hates BnZers and would rather die in a 5 on 1 then land 8 kills. They have found the true sence of the word "FURBALL". I respect this class just as much as Class 6.
[Class 5] ACE (Alt Monkey):
This class knows how to manage E and how to use ACM to the point where they are just about unkillable. Any time they die they usually come up with an excuse like "the phone rang". They will never admit they ****ed up. Just a little different then Class 3, they are both point mongers except the ACE cares about his ratio too. This is how they can tell if they are any good, if they have more kills then deaths and more then a 1:1 land/kill ratio.
[Class 6] Vet:
These pilots you will usually find dieing for anyone. They can pork, kill, BnZ, rope, just as long as it gets the job done. They dont care if they die in a buff or in a spit, they are there to have fun with their squadies and teamates. These pilots recognize skill and are usually the most benificial to their country. They like to go up against the pilots from classes 3 4 and 5.
When aw and furballcentral were up, there were 168 players that were 'classed' or 'ranked' by 879 other players.
The really funny thing is, I just read through these descriptions after I posted...LOL, still relevent. Some things never change.
I had to smack google around to find this cached. That domain expired last month. Glad I already archived some of the site.
-
I think I fit in 3 classes 4 5 and 6 I fly all three ways. But i don't care about score I never fly enough to build it up anyway. I don't do buffs or GV's unless it's a squad event or special case. I don't give ecuses or replies to being shot down unless the guy that shot me down mouths off and thats only if I lagaitmatly have an excuse or comwe back. iam gunna get shot down at some point I'll just come grab another plane and take off.
-
The interesting thing was seeing how other people classed you. Here are some ranking pages I archived while the site was still active.
AKAK (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/akak.htm)
crims (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/crims.htm)
Murdr (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/murdr.htm)
ZZ3 (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/films/zz3.htm)
Lol, comment about ZZ3 "Just another face shooting P38 dweeb. I used to have respect for this pilot, but over the years I have lost respect for him.":)
(of course the site is dead, so the links actually on those pages wont work)
-
I had to laugh at this one.
Wether he dies with his buddy or is kicking bellybutton in duels I respect this pilot. He only chooses to be a dweeb because of his friend VMPR, but don't hold that against him at all.
ack-ack

I LOVE Morpheus in the mornings.( Hes soo warmmmmmmmmmmm)
I love AKAk late nights Because U get 6mile high club when you with him
I love SKUZZY all the time.Well no explantions needed here you all saw his behind at convention. ( the one I let get away)
In the evenings nothing better than Good old hammy with whine and cheese...
I love HO's because I am one.......................... ............
But my number 1 love will always be SHANE.................Found out fastest way to get him to shut up is just say I love you. He clams up like a big closet case,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

you know what Rod?
hetro guys dont go round all day shouting
"im a hetro, i love women!"
dont homo guys have any persona besides their sexuality?
sometimes i think homosexuals think being gay is their vocation in life rather than their bedtime preference.
just a thought, no disrespect intended.
(waits to be called a closet case)

Hmmmm .......... Lets see
In the following order -
I like to Spawn Camp in Tanks.
I also like to Vulch.
Then I'll do some more Camping.
Maybe Carpet Bomb some GVs with LANCs.
Then I'll Camp some more.
Pick on GVs in a IL2.
Camp a little more.
And ............. Thats it. :)

-- Todd/Leviathn
I wouldnt say Spit V is an easy mode plane... you can fly it in an easy mode, yes, but there are pilots that can really FLY that plane. Nowhere near easy mode... Its not the plane, its the pilot!
Oh, and whats a 'real' fighter jock? One with a big stick between the legs? Gold wings and dress whites...
My advice would be: Try and find a plane that you like and that youre comfortable to fly in. Try it out in DA or TA. Dont bother about what other people think when they see it.
Im usually not taken seriously in my Hurri IIc, until i pull the trigger.:eek:
About my preferences in MA?
I love fighters (Furballs, defense, 1vs1 intercepts,...)
I love sinking CVs with Ju87 (couldnt find out how to survive the dive yet :D)
I love killing unsuspicious town buildings (they keep jumping me though)
I love flying with squad... (clearing sixes, getting mine cleared)
I love getting chased by at least ten cons on my six (two proxies of them crashing behind me included)
I love staying on the six of a con, never hitting a thing cause my aims too bad...
I love landing hard earned kills...
I enjoy FFA's with squad in DA
Im completly unable concerning b&z tactics...
I guess im a dweebish newbie?

Do ya have a little prop on top lol:rofl
Panman
-
LOL, I remember those FCC rankings...I've been ranked as an ace on there forever...jeez can't get no love...
-
I like a little bit of everything I suppose..
Fighter I like to Boom and Zoom like no other.. I love sneaking up behind someone at 500mph and blowing them out of the sky before they knew i was there. I don't usually turn fight much. Usually get owned if I do that... Not by the person im fighting, but some other dude that comes in behind me and gets me before I can finnish the duel. I fly almost anything just as long as its fast with exception to the lala. *cough* dweeb plane *cough*
Attack I love killin those tasty gv's with my a20.. And one pass fighter and vehicle hangars are always fun too.
Bomber I'll fly high, I'll fly low. I always do some damage.
Vechicle I like the Ostwind the best prolly.. Thats really the only thing i can get very many kills with.. Its the most fun anyways. I've also been known to shoot down lots of planes in 5in ship guns :aok
Anyways, thats me..
