make a "shades" (i PAY for mine like ALL should)
with the shades, fly anything weird. take up a b5n and try to land 5 kills in it.
take an la7 and chase every pony you see ignoring all other planes.
take a spit V and never climb above 2K AGL, head into a base an attack is comming from, and see how many you can sucker into a twisty fight. funny you will actually help relieve the pressure alot if you kill a few. the range vox goes out "kill that spit" i have watched it from both sides LOL
ignore every stat and land 15 kills in a hurri 1, keep trying until you make it.
on a night you have a LONG time to fly, take a pony up to 22k and kill everything you can instilling a "hard deck" of 19K dont go below unless to refuel, or die.... see how long you can fly. i made it for 3 hours and 27 kills in the same plane, 5 reloads.
-
Load up a 202 and fly at 500ft
-
Take a break. You'd be amazed what a month or so off will do for you.

Best thing for me when I start to get burnt is to go hang out in the training arena. Just sit and answer questions, show off some maneuvers, whatever. You'd be surprised how fast the time passes in there answering simple questions, and it helps the new guys alot. The regular trainers are all good people and do great work, but they cant be there all the time. After a few days of that, you'd be surprised how much it restores your sense of fun in the game.
-
Form a mission. Get as many guys into it as you can. Dont bother with the base grab, just get alot of fighters and mess up a base, or go on a long range bomb run and see if you can get home.
Or go outside and split wood. I know sometimes I come on, and I look at the map..look thru the plane list...look out the tower window, seeing flames and hearing the siren...then I go "Blah" and go watch tv or something. It cant be fun all the time.
-
its horrible right now.
the cherry picking horde monkey attitude is in full swing.
spend most my time in DA

Heretik is right... I had this problem almost a year ago, and I didn't play but maybe 4 hours in that next month. I find that I cannot put down the game completely, but this just enhances my fun factor when I make the comeback :D
-
One thing I've been trying for a while is to hit another fighter mid air with a rocket.

I try flying planes I don't normally fly, especially the ones that die quicker than most others like the P-40B, Dauntless, Boston, etc. If I can land kills or just survive then it can be fun.
;)

JB73 never does that. read my whole post LOL

I find that it is not so much changing planes as much as the types of fights.
I get really bored when maps like Baltic are up and all the fights are a sector flight or more away. This means climb out and basically hope to meet another guy co alt or be forced to cherry pick whomever you run into. This is fun for about an hour, but after that I'm ready for something different.
The flip side is stay low and fly under 10+ cons dropping in on you. Do this for a few hours and I am ready for a change.
Now log in night after night and the above is all you get and I am ready to cancel my account and move on. But then I get the few good nights where many guys from the squad are online and there are good fights to be had and that gets me through another month.
But no doubt about it this game has it's ups and downs.

Why do you need a "shades" account to do all that ?
Although I can imagine the need for a shades account to do this ;)

has NOTHING to do with reputation, more with respect to squad.

i am in by choice a squad that flies only LW planes, and i enjoy it very much.
every now and then there are no squad members on, and i feel in the mood for something "different".
believe me it has kept me from quitting the game out fo frustration or boredom a bunch of times. my shades almost never talks on vox, never fights my squad, is not in a squad, it's just for "goofing off" and i do it 1 or 2 times a month.
-
Well... I quit.
That option might not be best for you though.

Redd is right whether he knows it or not:lol

i completely disagree with this statement.

the little bastage likes woods, and shade alot little son of a B$&$%! he takes baths too!
i HATE that M#$#$^%$@@^ ball!!!!!11

LOL,
I find golf to be very close to AH. 400 crappy shots then one great shot that keeps you holding on.

Yes but you are good at it, that's the difference ;)
I always wanted to get to single figures , but now I'm there, I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry ;)
-
Theres an object editor out now - go build a toolshed to bomb....
By the time you've attempted to do it - you'll have pulled your hair out - and will look forward to flying ASAP :)
-
I know what ya mean Redd.
But now that I am there as you , I find that I relax more. I enjoy it more.
After being off from golf for a few years , I find that now that I am playing more and more , that I have lost my Temper that I had. I am relaxed. I don't get mad. I laugh more than I used to. I enojy everything around me more. The feel of that shot hit just right means more than it used to. Everything ion golf has become BETTER since I have started coming back to the game.
I really did miss it more than I thought I did. I'm glad to be back.
AND...I find that some of my bad habits have gone away.
I'm now , after being back all of 5 months now and alot of playing , and practicing , my HCP is now 4. As of last weekend anyway.:aok

It all makes the world better :D

Take some time off. Simple as that. If your in the tower is because you just dont have "get up and go" to do anything in the game.
If you really wanted to you'd fly something different/wierd/not used often... But you dont... Because you would have... And this thread would have never been.
The absolute best thing to do when you feel like that is to just log off for a week, two weeks, month two months... Whatever... When you come back the game will seem alot more "freash". Things' that botherd you before, you will laugh at upon your return. You'll care less about the things' you cared more about before. Basicly you'll just have more fun.
Sitting around trying to find something to do, something different, will just add to your frustrations.

It's an expierance you wont soon forget.:D
-
Log on for shorter periods. I go thru the same blahs every year--usually Jan-Feb but there is nothing to take it's place.
Try upping from bases that are being vultched--gets old after a bit but entertaining for awhile.
Hunt LA7 dweebs--theres a few of em that are interesting

Getting bored is a luxury . I never get enough time to even get bored with AH. Find more real life excitement ..a little goes a long way. take a few weeks or months off (you'll be amazed how it clears your head if all the trivial stuff.). And the most important thing ...when you shut the game down and you find you still want more...... you have done it just right :)
-
Beeing boored with ones favorite game(s) is usually a reflection of real life.
I only get boored with my favorite game(s) when Im boored with RL. When RL is booring one really aint in the mood for having fun so one plays the game to have some fun but when the mood set is boored then there is no escaping boordom in game.
Always make sure to unboore RL before attempting to unboore game.
Games are always fun if one has had a good day and is in a good mood.

I just bought this: http://store.intelspy.com/susomirareco.html
It's only 25 bucks and it's a barrel of crazy. In fact, I just got done flying it around the field outside. :)
-
Wow that looks really neat, how much flight do you get from it before batteries get too low?
-
I like to fly a me 262 low on the deck at times.
(not like canaris at 15K)
-
To get rid of boredom, in High School I dated cheerleaders, same at the university, when I graduated, I went out with strippers &
young actresses wannabees, for a chg of pace I also dated ballet
dancers. That should get rid of your boredom replaced by total happiness. Try it .... you'll love it & even forget about AH.
:)
Happy1 :D <..... hence the name

Do the GV thing. or hang outin the O club.
Few days there and your usually about ready to kill somebody LOL
If that doesnt work. Hang out with the wife.
Works about the same as hanging in the O club just a bit more surefire.

I'd say about 10 to 15 minutes, but it only takes 3-5 to charge up. Now that I've flown it more, I love it. It's only a 2-channel so it practically keeps itself in the air, and it's so small that you don't need a huge space to fly around in.

What about getting a girl friend?.....depending on how that works tell me if she has a sister.:D

Got a girlfriend and two kids this is my escape .
