One thing that's improved my k/D alot is bailing out, even after being shot out of the sky a capture or successful bail isn't a death. If I'm shot to hell and being chased; bail. If I'm out numbered and it looks like I can't run; bail. Someone gets a cheap proxy kill and I don't get a needless death.

No, it isn't popular.. but when you start being concerned with what's popular and what's not.. you'll lose sight of staying alive. If a head on, running or bailing will get you landed, do it and just laugh at the ch:200 crybabies.



So sad, so very sad.

It's just as pathetic as the old practice of shooting your hangers to increase your hit%.  I guess twits will always look for a way to game the game. *shakes head*

So maybe that suggestion was invalid? I see 34 bails and 148 deaths. Either way i consider this thread dead and lets move on to more important arguments.

All those deaths are probably from augering trying to be a toolshed hero or getting blasted in his beloved ho.  Hard to bail in those cases.

ok lets open this up a lil
first of all those kills are not related to any tool sheds or such related activities... xmarine is a squaddie.. and most of the time he is the last one standing at a failed base capture or trying to cover fellow squad members. now to say that he does such actions also implies that our squad is a bunch of toolshed heros and HOers...  this is not the case.. where you find one UKNIGHTED you'll likely find the majority of the squad...

UKNIGHTED forever!

hey guys...i don't understand what all this is about. we r mostly adults on here and yall r arguing over a game. it's just a game and yall don't realize it, but we all spend our fair share on it. i know i do. i'm a newb and i love this game. but come on, when i get on to play the game, i am trying to get away from the normal drama in my life and have fun. that is all that matters. what is the sence of all this arguing and putting people down for the way that they play. everyone is entitled to how they play and that is that. no one can tell them if they r right or wrong. god knows that i do my fair share of dying on the game. but i also have bailed a few times. to me, it's not about score. it's about having a good time, making new friends and learning something new. when i'm on the game, i help watch others backs and try to help as much as possible. but if there is some kinda anger coming from certain individuals, then how can yall watch each others backs. if u r a knight, then fight with the opposite teams, not fight with everyone whom is on your team. we can't have enemies inside the team. we all need to work together and kick some rook or bish butt. most people on here has gave me advice on how to play..others just kinda let me do my own thing, and i'm greatful for everyone that helps or doesn't help. i don't know if i'm out of line saying this, but this is my reply and please don't get mad at me. thank you for your time.

Bailing out, La 7s surely you two fine combatants jest. UKNIGHTED does not horde together in lala's, I mean that is an proven Rook tactic and we would never stoop to taking your bread and butter away. But if you do happen to find yourselves about to be blown out of the sky rest assured that there will be at least two of us on ya.

I don't give a damn if he's using it for stats or not. You can NOT criticize somebody for bailing out when their plane is going down IN PIECES around them. I'm sorry but not all of us enjoy going down with the plane. I'm sure the majority hit the silk. Don't criticize for actually using a key part of the game! GASP!

I bail out tons of times when i'm goin down so I agree with Krusty, exept read marines' post agen. He sez if he's shot to hell n being chased he bails...ok I can dig that. But he also sez if he's outnumbered he bails. I dont agree with that. If he gets himself in a situation like that he shouldn't bail, it robs a kill away from the guy who wouldv'e killed him, which aint right. He should deal with the fact that he got into a bad situation and see it to the end, not just taking the kill away from someone who was more fortunate than him.

Krusty, I don't think AK-AK is critisizing bailing only critisizing when bailing bcuz the guy cant take the thought of getting shot down. And IMO it is a cheap way to keep the k/D ratio up. One might even say it was...cheating  :eek:

Anyhow it's just my thoughts

Sauteed Ribs? Horrido!!!

I use a fairly standard BBQ Rub of my own concoction, let 'em sit overnight. Depending how lazy I feel I'll either smoke em in my Brinkman offset, or the Cookshack "set-it-and-forget" electric smoker. I like to finish them on a charcoal grill for a few minutes...crisps em up a bit. Then, and only then I'll paintem with sauce, wrap em in foil and let em soak up the goodness. Then too, some folks prefer to sauce their own so I'll leave a rack plain and let the rub and smoke speak for itself.

Yeah, okay. I agree there too. From the original post, however, I got the impression that he was talking about bailing instead of riding it in. Hell if you're out numbered just fight the bastards, and THEN if you get shot to pieces bail. Take a few down ta hell with ya!

So maybe that suggestion was invalid? I see 34 bails and 148 deaths. Either way i consider this thread dead and lets move on to more important arguments.

navajo24 :aok :aok :aok


I shot down Morph in a 1v1 after several turnes, so he sic'd his girlfriend on me.

"score potatos", "HO'ers", "dweebs", "tards", "gangers".... you guys are funny. This is a "combat sim", key word for those who have never been there; "combat".. which is why the "founding fathers" who created the game reward survival.

So if HT designed the game to reward survival, it's pretty clear that the few gamers who tell canards of how they were HOd or ganged are just whining about being killed because they clearly disagree with the vision of the game.

One guy who read the last thread got it. I was bored and on a campaign of squealing with people while seeing what the score / rank system was all about... it's real simple to manipulate your rank as I discovered.

These days I'm shooting down people a lot more often, it's getting a little boring though. I just don't find that as fun as suckering 3 or 4 guys into chasing me 2 sectors... and you are all on my computer screen for the sole purpose of my entertainment.

Anyway, this too is dull.. maybe if 1 of you came up with a valid reason why surviving is uncool, I'd take you seriously.

I believe you are right. I was looking at my stats the other day. I sure got a death for every time I bailed.

Here is the formula from the help file...

Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)

So a Ditch in friendly territory is also NOT a death, but just about everything else (except a successful landing) counts agains you.

Bailing out may get you a slightly higher percentage of perk points. I didn't get excited enough to go look that up!

Flew against XMarine a few times the other night. He started saying it was BS when I out flew his N1K with a D Mustang. He even started out with the alt advantage. He stayed in the sector for awhile HOing everything in sight. Then he came back in again and as I was coming towards him he bailed. I was just inside of 6k when his icon went blank and the aircraft started it's death dive.

He will bail on you any chance he can get if he knows he can't win.

Hey ackack, you coming to the con this year even though CH wont be paying like they did in 98?

To your point though...
This guy (who I wont name in order to not make this personal) is definitely sad, but I think you give him too much credit by comparing his gameplay to that of shotting hangars, or even gaming the game. He has admitted on numerous occaisions in numerous threads that his goal in playing in to make people mad. Nothing wrong with making someone mad by owning them in a fight, or even running away from their spit with a Dora. His goal, according to his own words, is to find people for the sole purpose of pi$$ing them off.

Maybe it is just me, but that makes him much worse than simply "sad" or "gamey".

I've had him bail out after landing a few hits on him. I don't see how it's supposed to make me mad if he wants to give me a free kill without costing me as much ammo. It's lame, I agree, but that's not gonna piss me off.

As for the bailing at 6k out of fear, that's just funny. If he was 6k out why didn't he just turn away? I'm sure he could have found some base ack or friendlys before he got caught, which is generally more effective at making people mad.

He will bail on you any chance he can get if he knows he can't win.


I doubt that this ever took place. 6K out, right.

Well, whilest I myself am opposed to the fireing upon of a bailed pilot,  In his case I would say...Pop his silk, get the kill any way.  I mean If someone bails on purpose just to make you frustrated and acts as juvanile as he does, leading people on for a whole sector just to bail atleast killing him like that is better than wasting your time fro no kill. :mad:

BBQ it was the same night I was fighting you near A4. After the majority of the cons left in that area I turned towards one of our bases that was under attack. As I came in I saw one unknown con speeding away from the base towards A4 at about 4k. I came in at about 6k and rolled through. His icon came into view and then a few seconds later he bailed. There was another friendly con who was upping from the field he had just been attacking that was about 12k away.

But hey according to you I'm a liar.

DaddyAck I really don't care about the kill especially on XMarine. He'd just accuse me of using some gamey "trick". He did that for atleast 30 minutes after I beat his N1K earlier in the night when he had an alt advantage.

I'm not naming names, but I know someone who has actually moved a CV closer to the area where they bailed out in the ocean in order to receive a ditch instead of a capture  :D    Still think its hilarious, I really like the guy so I just give him crap.

If you want to be a score potato so be it, but I wouldn't be surprised or defensive if I started getting crap about it on these boards.  Its your money, fly how you like, but you run the risk of being labled "dweeby"  =)

C'mon now Cobra go back and read my post again, where do you see me calling you a liar? Why do you want to start a beef with me, I said that I doubt it happened like that, nobody is gonna bail out of their plane just because they see the enemy 6K away, I mean that just does not happen. And as for you fighting me I have no record of it at all, Cobra412 can't be your ingame name is it? Got to be something else.

I followed GTN for 4 sectors in his LA7 knowing he would run out of gas and I would then kill him as he tried to ditch. Instead he discoed on purpose. What a *****. What is the point of simply running for 10-15 minutes only to alt-f4? I'd guess he was laughing his head off, thinking how devious he was. Just about the same mentality as those who join other games which have freindly fire enabled and proceed to kill everyone on their team for fun. Seriously has anyone ever done a study those types of folks? Maybe they are serial rapists or something?

Sounded pretty straight to the point if you asked me. With how he was flying that night and saying he'd bail if he was in trouble I can easily see someone doing this. He may be the only one but it was definately happening.

Brave Sir Robin ran away.

Bravely ran away, away.

           

" No, no, no."

       

When dangers reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave Sir Robin
Petrified of being dead
Soiled his pants then brave Sir Robin
Turned away and fled.

I don't post that often but after reading through this post I felt a stupid need to explain why I try to stay alive.  I usually fly under "attack" with a Mossie so any GV kills count, but I leave "fighter" for strictly air-to-air engagements in a better plane (which I rarely use).  

I like to try to keep my K-D ratio as high as possible at the start of a tour.  I like the stress of being deep in a battle, low on altitude and energy and having to keep very high SA to keep from dying.  All the K/D ratio does for me (since I know no one else ever sees mine anyhow) is give me a bar or level to try to beat month to month.  (ie.  7-1 one month then I shoot for 8-1 ect.).  Same with the perks.  One mission in a Mossie I got 73.59 perks for only 5 kills.  The next trip I try to better that...although the multiplier has a huge deal to do with it, its great downing better ENY value planes for perks with a 40 ENY plane.  Now that being said I'm sure you can all agree, once you get vulched a few times and that number is trashed I don't worry the rest of the month and just fly and die and don't worry about it.  

Now I started reading this thread and thinking...man I really enjoy that stress at the beginning of the month before I let it go and don't care because it adds a new dimension to my game.  Palms swetting, low on ammo and trying like hell to get back home with cons outnumbering you in a slow plane...and thinking...Damn this will be the first death this month..can I get to friendly territory first...hehehe.  Those are the best!

Anyhow...enough babbling....As far as I remember if you successfully bail over friendly territory it DOES NOT count against K/D.  If you get captured it COUNTS as a death....right?

Higgins

This happened to me a couple of days ago.

 Took off from a field in a Typhoon. I saw an enemy Typhoon rushing to the field. It was the typical 'go and kill some stuff, and then runaway' type of attack - which by itself, I have no problems with. It's actually a much smarter thing to do than dancing in the acks all alone.

 But the guy makes a typical n00b mistake. Instead of using his speed to extend far away, and then gently turn towards the home field and running away, he makes a tight loop.

 I caught his behind with the Typh. A few of my friends also attempted to latch on.

 As the distance closed to 1.0yds..

 Poof! Icon disappears. The guy bails out.

 ...

 
 Gee whiz.. at least the suicidal bombers have the guts to jump to the field and try shoot back...

If you were d1.0 away and you didn't get a proxy most likely he was already damaged by someone else and they got the kill credit.

I don't think so Akak, I know it used to work that way but, it was changed somehow with this new version or, it became porked.
I have had this happen to me, and have seen it close by among others too; afterwhich, everybody in ther area asks "who killed him? What was his handle? Did anybody get the kill?"

The PROBLEM with this game is that it doesn't ostracize those that do retarded actions. It needs to say "so and so bailed with no damage" in the system buffer. Keep those little twits ashamed and they'll do better.

I think the thing about early AH1 was that the whole server knew when you were shot down. It served as a reminder that you can't hide anything, and that you need to get better. Now I'm not advocating a return of kill messages (they clogged the buffer really badly) but maybe bail-with-no-damage or bailed-for-no-reason messages would return to the ways of shame and self-respect.

Add augered with no damage too, or even augered with a flyable aircraft.

Your idea would stop some of the rampant dweeberry but not that of the subject of this thread. In fact he'd probably like it even more, having the whole arena knowing how irritating he was and all.
