I got my first kill just a minute ago. I was in the training area and I was flying an ME - 262A. I saw a B24 at my 2 oclock low and 3k feet out. I manuvered myself to get on his backside cause I knew from reading history books and such, that attacking the front of a bomber was suicide. So I basically did a straffing run from about 800 feet out. I emptied my cannons into him and he went down.
Score 1 for the BUM.
-
uhmmm

Up until this point I didn't think he was a shade.
I was wrong.

1) You can't kill anyone in the TA.
2) HOing bombers is the BEST angle of attack. You can shoot them, they can't shoot you, and it puts you in the best position to hit the pilot which is the fastest way to knock one out. Just be ready to dodge like mad if you miss.
Approaching a BUFF with a half-way competent gunner from dead astern will very quickly teach you just how appropriate that term is.
I DO believe the part about it taking a full clip to knock him down, tho, based on some of the complaints I've seen about the spud guns on the 262 'round here.

:rofl :rofl
where's the fish?

even fooled skuzzy.
I remember when I killed 100 bad guys in the TA with one shot.
Had 100 bad guys on me in the TA but I pulled this sweet reversal and fired one shot in a p40e and they all were toast, true I tell ya.
attacking bombers from the front suicide:rofl :rofl :rofl
-
There's two things that I'll gladly HO: BUFFs, and Spitfires.

Yup, lethality is 0.001 AFAIK. That means a 1800 kg bomb on a fighter *will* kill you (has happened to me). But i highly doubt even a full clip from a 262 into a Buff will do enough damage for it to go down.
Some people say "But he *killed* me." - Yes, there is another way to receive damage in the TA besides crashing or overstressing. Enemy Collision is *on* ;).

This guy needs to get a grip on life and meet a chic already. Wheres jackal with the King of the Hill shots when you need him.

Look closer Merlin Olsen, They are Burmese Fanged Flying Groundhogs. Their testicles have adapted into GE turbofans to escape the Pigmy Chupa Cabra monkies.

:mad:
Dude, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and this same picture appears there. I read it on the internet, so I know it's true. They're badgers. Deal with it.
[size=0]And how would they reproduce without balls, anyway? [/size]

This is a confirmed kill. It appears someone's chain got yanked and it was not mine.
Bum's IP address, both in-game and on the board, is the same. Important to note, as you can proxy to the bulletin board, but you cannot do so in the game.
Revor's IP address, in the game, is very different from Bum's. One of them is located in Texas, the other is in Florida. Tracing IP addresses gives a pretty good clue of where someone is actually located.
About an hour after Bum made this post, he terminated his account.

I'm not sure I'm following you. Are you saying that we scared a legitimate guy away?
-
Yes. It is quite easy to hide behind different IP addresses on the bulletin board, but you cannot do that in the game. The game IP addresses for these two players are in different parts of the country.
Bum's IP address on the bulletin board matches his game IP address, while Revor used a proxy.
I suspect Revor claimed to be Bum just to really mess with your heads as he is still a bit ticked about not being able to view/post/search the bulletin board.
-
:(
Well, maybe if he did like the game part he'll come back with a new name and let the BBS cool off so he doesn't take any flak... Or, hopefully, he'll just read this thread and come back.
Summer, eh? :rolleyes:
-
Scared him off? thats not cool
-
And now revor is really feeling good about himself.
His tardishness in game and on the boards caused a witch hunt and it (the witch hunt) probably cause new player to quit.
Since I posted in this thread that turned into the witch hunt.
I'd like to apologize to HTC and to Bum (if he still read the boards) for adding to it.
Bronk
-
Hopefully the guy comes back. Now, pick up your rifles, next weekend lets go hunt down Revor in real life :D
-
Amazing how contagious the paranoia plague can be :noid
-
I am really confused here, was Revor banned from AH or just the Bulletin Boards? because I see Revor in the Main arena chatting on 200. Or was he even banned from anything? :confused:
-
I thought Revor=Reynolds...
-
Bugger....
I feel pretty bad for bum, the situation conspired agenst him....
First There was Revor pretending to be Noobs
Second It seamed pretty iffy when he said he got a kill in the TA
Third There were reports of Revor saying he was Bum in the MA
He must feel pretty pissed about the whole AH experience....
Its amazing how easy it is for the mob mentality to hang the wrong man eh?
I think in future we need to have faith in Skuzzy's Judgement and rather than attack any knew noobs who we THINK are trolls....
-
Oh Yeah... Like Bronk Said
I'd like to apologize to HTC and to Bum (if he still read the boards) for adding to it.

This has got to be the most appalling thread I've seen on the board since I've been here. :mad:
Even after Skuzzy confirmed that this was not Revor in another thread, people still had to ride that wagon. And CM/AvA Staff joined in on top of it!
I'll say this much. If you ever suspect something, send a note to Skuzzy. Don't post it in public. If there is something wrong you would be surprised how quickly the matter is taken care of.

Some of us are still not convinced it's not Revor using his friends IP address when he was in Florida a few days ago! :noid

Most appalling thread? Being a bit of a drama queen arent we? Its unfortunate for sure and Im sorry if I had a part in running off a new player. But it wasnt a malicious act on my part what so ever. The atmosphere of the whole thing wasnt of Buminaboxs making and he caught a bunch of needless crap for it. For my part in that I apologize to him and Skuzzy. If you read up further in that post before I mistook him for handsomehunk, you can see I wasnt just out looking to pigpile on some one. People are tired of thinking they are trying to help out new people only to find out its some shades looking for attention. This is the result. Fair or not.
-
Colateral damage has just occured. How unfortunate. So everyone learned a lesson I guess. Bum my appologies sir.
:mad:

Yeah its a bit like getting the Sailor-P award in FSO.....

I'm skeptical too.

add my name to the list of skeptics, too.
this line was just too perfect--it's gotta be a lure:
I knew from reading history books and such, that attacking the front of a bomber was suicide.
