I find myself not using my ACM skills and running head on into muti cons. I think its because my play time has diminished and i have a hard time sitting down for a nice long night of AH. Does anyone else have these problems?
-
I thought it was just me:)
-
I got burnt out and just started taking up 110s/IL2s and HOing. It's great to hear some of the whines. I'm now on a very extended break.
-
Just for myself upping capped fields and diving into furballs that i have no chance of getting out. I think it hit me when elevenK came over vox and ask me what the hell am i doing.
-
I do it too FX, it's fun :)
Don't forget to scream "BANZAI" over 200.
-
L0L I have those nights when I'm in the mood to fly wreckless....
I'll up a p-47 and not get any Alt watsoever and dive into 8v2 furball just too see how many people I can make overshoot and auger....basically just to see how long I can last...
Those nights when I could give two S***'s about "working on the town" or "lets take out the ack".... or anyother S*** that involves team play...
I'll HO a couple of people jus to hear them say "nice ho" in which I'll sarcastically say thank you, or just to hear them say "ya Dweeb" in which I'll say" I know ",and jus because I can ho them cuz I have 8 .50cals and they don't :D
I'll ho Bombers, LaLa's, Hurri's, 110's IL2's (mayb not IL2's but...) and anything that flies in front of me, just to hear them pissed of on ch 200...
I get a kick out of it :lol
It's my in flight entertainment :D
-
if i remember rightly i caught you the other day doing this in a F4U1-C Platano, felt guilty afterwards - figured you were a noob that had got lost when i saw you, soon changed that view when we entered scissors :)
-
Man saw the Post title and thought somone was commenting on my habbit of using B-26's and Ki-67's as fighters....
hehe I out flew a spit in a 67 once, had to jump to the nose turret to shoot him down though :P
-
yup but gradually (very gradually for me) I live longer per session. I now look for the biggest red dar bar with the smallest green. it get's the fix I need quickly then I go and do other things.

:lol I think that was like last Sunday I believe....
I was in no mood to care for my own well being. Even squaddies were telling me I was crazy. I said "i know ". I was jus flying around Hoing, Vulching, PIcking, basically being the ultimate Four Cannon Hizooka Dweeb :D ... but yea I dont do those sorties very often but when I do I get a kick out of it....
BTW did you manage to shoot me down in the scissors?
-
My KD isn't that bad for being vulched in attack for the first week of the camp. I just haven't been rtbing and landing kills our running people down that dont engage just to be picked by 3 of his friends. Good thing about those runners they never live even if i die(:
-
yep, was a fun one. got ridiculously slow and close once those barn doors the f4u has for flaps came out :)

lol yea I remeber now :aok

I wonder if an "advanced arena" concept might help. Maybe charge double the subscription.....$39.95 This would clearly have a seperating effect and provide for a more challenging experience on line.

I would pay it! Maybe not every month but the months that i know i am going to playing because work is slow. I think a $25 gold account with qualifications to become a member would be great. This would be a great place for vets to have some fun and dont need to worry about hoing La7 every run.
-
I also found myself running into multiple cons knowing i was most likely going to die. but having 5 cons trying to kill you is actually very thrilling and exciting and when u are able to kill all multiple cons on you it made me laugh at how bad they were or mayby at how good i was. i played for rank a few months and i think i ended with a overall rank of 13 once, but after that i stopped playing for rank and never was scared to jump in the middle of a furball of cons.
-
FX...luv the idea of the gold account!!:aok
-
Well with the 16 you have a better chance. People ask why i fly the 16 so much and that is a big reason why i do.
Discovered a nice trick with the 16 last month that has been working for me. Used it on a couple zekes last night but you blow E and have one shot.
-
"gold account" lol hmmm HTC take note, the internet version of the lexus lane
-
I always find myself flying into a swarm of red, I usually think to myself "this is a bad idea, and next time i'll be smarter"...of course I never listen.
-
I don't like to think of my flying as stupid... me and Karaya refer to our missions as flying with balls. Ju87 Mission? well lets have a French Ju88 Escort! B17 don't need no stinkin bombs!
-
I like flying stupid. It doesn't get in the way of my drinking.
-
I'm transitioning into "fly till you die, dont even think about getting home" mode. Definite adrenaline, and ABSOLUTELY showing me how veeeery poor my instantaneous SA is, and how long it takes me to get the shot.
Might have to consider Hub's approach to pre-flight chilling. Even though I know I'm not getting home, I still have to fight getting mad at myself and the guys who kill me. Even caught myself saying over and over, "It's OK if I die, I'm practicing here, its OK, its OK.."
Well, either I'm saying it to myself or its the voices again....
-
On several occations this tour i have upped and upped from a vulched field just to get that one annoying dude that vulched me on the first attempt.
Not cause im pissed at him but for the laugh i can send him if i do get up and pwn him.... havent made it yet tho :D
-
I'm still stupid.
HONK!

Its gotta be workin on 4 years ago I (then known as Anton) suggested "AH PREMIUM", it wasnt to well recieved back then- LOL I think someone even called me Hhitler. Kinda funnny to think about how long I have been unhappy with gamepley- yet I still play
:D
On Topic, I fly stupid & smart regularly, but I havent played much of the last changes made- so I cant comment on them specifically.

So bascly it would not be a place for you :D
-
Is there anywhere on these maps that you can find a fair fight these days? Even if you do within the first few turns the guys got 5 friends joining him. I've found myself in a lot of 1 on 10's lately. OK, I can (hopefully) deal with an occasional 1 on 2 or 1 on 3 but this has gotten ridiculous.
Lately I can't even land a kill without joining the hoard and vulching which I don't really enjoy.
Diving into a hopeless situation is fun for a while. At the same time I've been seeing a lot more movies lately.

Some Premium Questions?
The AH Premium Members get their own areana right?
Premium Members must qualify for Premium Membership?
Premium members can only fly in the Premium Arena right?
Premium members can't go slummin the "Minor League" MA to rack up perkpoints right? (not that they would want to....they have LA-7s in the slums)
Just askin?

Hell, I fly stupid everytime I play. It is my purpose to HO 190s in my spitmk1 and win :)
And as I'm sure lots of you know, I'll up at a capped field for hours just for the fun of it.
-
stroke my ego please.. I had a few bad sortys and I blame stress at work for my lack of SA..I tried to have fun and join a few furballs but I died (the horror)

Problem??? this is how I fly 98% of the time...
1. See giant furball.
2. Blow E advantage.
3. Make many planes miss.
4. See how long you can last and make snapshots..

Killed 5 bish on 1 a couple of weeks back dove into a load of red to help out khonees when scot 12b tried helping him in his 38 he didnt last long.
But it was like a tank of piranhas all trying to get at the same piece of meat.
Dont remember much of the fight or who i killed but there were more than 5 guys in the area maybe 10 plus with a good 2 or 3 all diving in with their triggers pressed down. Luckily with the spit 16 and with the aid of the side of a canyon. I forced 2 to auger and crash whilst I was doing some last ditch slow evasives in ma spit 16. Ended up shooting 3 of them down in between ducking and dodging bullets matrix style.
Must have been there for a good 5 minutes because scot managed to fly all the way back to enable me to get out. My only regret was to not hit the record button would have made one hell of film. :)

I've been playing for two years, and have reached the stage where I'm not improving. Mind you I still dive my typhoon headlong into bunches of enemy Niks and Zekes and then try and turnfight them!
I do this knowing I'm gonna cop a packet, why? oh why can't I learn?
Answer: Death Wish! He Ha!

I have to little time to fly smart.Enjoy the game:aok

So, why you callin me stoopid? :p ;)
As for the premium membership thing: gotta be one of the silliest ideas I have heard. You can get the same low numbers, gentlemanly action in the AvA. Paying a higher price will not guarantee a better attitude. In fact, I'd be willing to bet there are some who would work their tails off to qualify just to get in there and vulch, HO and gangbang so they could hear the "vets" cry about it. But then I'm not entirely certain that was a serious post either :huh ;)
-
i remember when 10 cons didnt blow all their E to chase one ftr already engaged.... its like the 8th grade dance lately...2 opposing sides stand at a distance and wait for the one sucker to go first, than than its a pure melee
-
I noticed this in myself. I few only the P40E for a long time... as in years. But I just got sloppy and stopped caring. Since switching to the F6F I'm back to trying to survive and do well.
For me I believe it came down to survivability. The previous arena setup had allowed me to readily recognize my countrymen, know who would cover my back, give the 6 calls etc. I could take a P40 and have a reasonable chance. Now I recognize a few people... but very few. Basically its a solo gig. Switching to the F6F has made it possible to complete sorties in the LWAs... at least for me at my skill level.
