Today I picked one of our Uber K4 pilots over the airfeild he had begun a pass on himself to pick any of the low unwary. I followed him down in a spit14 from several K above his 15 or so K and thought he was aware of me. He finished his pass by pulling up and I used the spit14's wep to close the gap. At 400d I cut his wing off and climbed away.
Just after his kill message appered he was a bit disgruntled on ch200 about being picked from higher up. I admit sometimes the blind Hog gets an acorn. I am not the Uber killer he is and don't worry about being.
It seems a waste of time admiring Uber players in AH for their obvious accomplishment in our community if they get so easily rattled by such a minor mishap. Especially since I admire the squad he belongs to and the good example of fun gamesmanship his squad mates always show.
It's my hope that he was simply having a bad day and everything will work itself out........:)
My request of our AH Uber pilots is: You Gents and Ladies are so good at this game, please take it as a compliment when some of us actually gain a victory on you. The rest of the time it is us average AH pilots who's scalps increase your legends and uberhood.
-
lol so hes 15k hovering around cherry picking and gets mad cause u picked him?
i wanna know who it is :)
he must be one of the score rank ubers because if he was truelly uber he would have known u were there..
alot of people cant tell the difference between someone that is high ranked and someone that is actually good..
-
Nomde!!!! Bustr not only was flying a Spit...but admitted to it on a public forum!! Ain't this grounds for some form of corpal punishment? Heck Plantan0 has been jabbering all week about wanting to use that new ball gag and paddle he's got. Might be a chance to kill two birds with one stone.
Wink...wink...nudge...nudge.. .say no more!!

Most won't, and others will.

if you gonna tell the story, get it right.
I was in K4, was at 10k...not 15k. I grabbed to 8k otw to your base....seen about 10 dots higher than me so grabbed to 10k. Did not see a enemy contact the entire way to your base.
I ran into a spit16, about 1k lower...he pulled up, i flat turn, he came back down after loop, i smacked him...2 nikis came in on me then...this was about 7-8k now directly over your base...draggin them up, they was 1k back....then spit14 was there from over me, 200 and got me.
my question was this....why not grab towards enemy base and move fight away from yours? that was question on 200...stated I didnt understand why you grab to 15K+ over you own base and hang out there.
I can understand grabbin up some near base to get coalt with guys coming in...but why not move away from your own base and push fight to enemies? If that wouldve happened, I would not of been 8-10K directly over your field without seeing a con. The fight wouldve been in between both fields.
not sure where the heck you came up with this "my 15k or so"....I was at 10.5k when you bounced me....I was at no point in time above where you hit me at.
Now, the question still stands, just like I asked on 200, why stay over own field when you have alt on incoming cons? why not push to enemy base and push them down some?
edit...and no, I never saw you up there.

I cannot tell a lie.;)
It was Bear76 :O

Maybe he was less concerned about defending bases, and more concerned about.........killnu? :rofl Sorry I couldn't resist it.
Big Mickey..... Doing my part to bring FUN back to the forums.
-
LOL I was thinking the same thing!
Maybe he was less concerned about defending bases, and more concerned about.........killnu?
I about choked on my cookies and milk I was enjoying after dinner. ROFL! You just made my day. I grab alt over my own base all the time and hang out.

KillnU,
Even a blind Hog gets lucky sometimes and where and why he feeds is as much his business as why anyone chooses where they will pick. I don't know why I was there when I was, I was playing with my new kitten on climb and approach. Then I saw a 109 below me. I dove, followed it up. At 400d it did not go very evasive. End of story. By the way the kitten was fascinated with the parts falling off your K4. His name is bustr and sends his regards. He trys to help me fly...:)
My real concern at the time was you are so good at this game and a bit of a legend. Why did it matter to "you" enough in the first place to say anything on ch200 to a "nobody" like me? Until you complained I admired your AH legend as an uber game player and someone for players to aspire to be like.
Unlike yourself, my recolection of the minute trivia and nuances of the fight are not very important. So I apologise if my recoloection is not as good as yours. Maybe thats part of why you are uber at this game.
My only concern is we average cherry fodder players only get a kill on someone like yourself by accident. And being at the uber level you obviously are it was strange you would complaine like some one of lesser abilities and impulse control.
Again I hope you were just having a bad day and all will be ok with yourself soon....:) My apologeise if I cannot play the game correctly....:(
-
Heroworshipping guys playing cartoon airplanes is really weird, at best.
-
bad day because of game? def not. I die plenty in game and dont get "upset". just dont understand, even after 4+ years, of why some play the way they do. in the end, guess it really dont matter if I understand or not.
it bothered you that much the question I asked on 200 that you felt you had to come to bbs and post a bs version of what happened? Im sorry, didnt realize I wasnt allowed to ask question on 200 without ruining your opinion of me...I hopefully wont lose any sleep tonight. wasnt like i jumped on 200 and started calling dweeb this and that...just a question of why not push fight to other base...I wouldnt of been at 10k over your base fighting guys that was within 1k of me if some of you had.
this whole "uber" crap you saying about me is just that...crap. I may be little above average in game, but uber, def not. heck, im even low man on totem pole in my squad.
-
Yeah killnu isnt that good.
-
I see 200 has a ppv channel on ah2. I only find pm's and bbs posts directed towards me insulting.

Aw hubs....I'm just trying to protect my impressionable new kitten from the possiblity I was reasoning with "shane's" shade account......:D But then shane was a master of the unbridaled ch200 rant.....:furious
Big Mickey keep it up and I'll tell Nomde what happened to his pink flying suit with the taffida trim......:p
-
Hehe..wtg bustr!!
bustr's tactics are spot on and i wish there were a few more that flew like him....
too many "pickers" use the "UBER" pilot tactics and hang about 5k away at about 8k off an enemy base and use alt/e ropes and stalls to get their kills. often they have wingmen in case they miss. certain "fiter ubersquads" specialize in this imho. many nights i have upped and kilt vulchers and then headed towards enemy field just to get bounced by "uber" pilots and wingmen. having a few defenders at alt usually discourages them and they go elsewhere
now dont get me wrong...no one is doing anything wrong or bad. i guess i just dont think they are as uber as the rest of the community does...goto to the da and kill me with equal alt/e and ill start to believe...
but the comedy here is that the "uber pilot" (in this case killnu) had to question how someone else plays??? and continues to post as if this is completely legitimate.
(as an aside....when i read bustr's first post on this thread...i immediately thought he was talking about killnu....priceless comedy:lol )
-
I had an experience with an uber ah god yesterday & got called everything but a human being for killing a con he called out as his. I was already well on my way diving on it at the time.
I don't appreciate being cussed out for killing a cartoon airplane that he thought should have been" HIS"8th or 10th kill. He did the very same thing to me 3 or 4 times in the doughnut map a while back. I didn't get mad or cuss him out for it. I just thought I had better kill them quicker next time.
Chill out dude. Did you run out of your seedy weed or what?

Shane used the same few remarks, with the same dry banter, pretty much all of the time. I would hardly consider him to be "unbridaled", especially compared to guys like your own blumane, birdo, skyrock, dallas, etc.
Let's be honest, you really just wanted a little affirmation for your way of flying, and you wanted to take a shot at killnu, because he didn't give you a bit attaboy and tell you you did a great job.
-
Falcn, did you bother reading what actually happened? guess not.
If engaging 3 guys that were 9k or so, with me at 10k, over own base by myself is hang about 5k away at about 8k off an enemy base and use alt/e ropes and stalls to get their kills
then sure. this however was not the case. maybe from his view point up there, it looked like I was above them by 5k, not sure how, but couldve been. Like I stated before, if any of them wouldve ventured out away from base, I would not of been there...because I wouldve been fighting them in b/n bases.
So, you seem to like doing that falcn, you said it was spot on...so why do it? why not push enemy back to their base and go for capture? why just sit and wait...then end up losing base? Like what happened. And save me the, to hear the whines crap...that a cop out answer... imo of course.

Perfectly stated!
-
Did I read right? Someone complaining how they got killed? Someone asking why aren't you pushing out to capture a base instead of defending?
It is really funny how politicians, media types, and some players in this game can talk one way one day, another way another day, and then go out and do what they like anyway, while complaining how others are doing what they like.
How many times I have pushed out, only to be jumped by a high flying tag team, looking for some climbing out meat. I have no problem with that, it is a tactic they use. My answer when I get killed the first time by said tactics, is to climb near my base and then head out. If one from the other side happens to come in lower than me, well now I don't have to fly far for a fight.
Works for me.

Eeek Hubs is shane's shade account....oops..Douhuuuhhh..:huh <----man I wish I wern't always such a dork.
Hubs as soon as I landed players at the feild thought the ch200 dialog was priceless. I suppose if I were shane himself or YUCCA or yourself even, creating this thread would have star power and some validity. See!!! being an AH nobody has predictable results in the community. My prose and alligorical whit cannot stand up to the rigorus standards of your opinion.....:eek:
So Hubs if I have violated your b.s. meter or whatever criterion you use for judging the worthyness of posts here...I apologise for not meeting your expectaions. But then I have noticed making requests of the more enlightened and accomplished members of the AH2 pilot and BBS posting communitys only receives adulation if one is a "member" of the "iluminati". I suppose after this post non of yalls gonna offer me one of dem "all illuminatin illuminati AH uber candels" to help lites my ignorant way and be alls AHes I cans bees...nopes dinit thin so.....:rolleyes:
Guess its back to cherry fodder anonimnity with me.............:noid

Look all I did was sneak in and grab the ting from his foot locker. If I'd have known what you had planned for that cat of yours with the Slip and Slide, 3 gallons of Wesson oil and the six foot long Pepperidge Farm hickory smoked sausage you got in last years Christmas stocking, I would have never been a party to whole deal......I hope Fluffy is recovering well.....you destroyed the pictures.....RIGHT!?!?

killnu i know you are upset right now but i was responding to your ch 200 question as to why someone would hang at alt near a friendly field not actually addressing your specific fight. the answer to your ch200 question is to prevent enemy cons from arrving at alt and establishing an "e cap" over a base. i personally dont do that...but not because i disapprove (rather i do) but because im too damn ADHD and need to start looking for a fight immediately.
again i am far from saying ANYBODY's style of fighting is right or wrong...they are just different and fit people's objectives (score, defense, k/d, capture etc)
lets steer away from you and use ack-ack as an example...i personally like the guy and he has kilt me more then i have kilt him....but would i call him "uber"? No.
not because he is or isnt...but because i cant recall many fights where i felt he didnt enter with advantage (alt/e)...so i dont feel he is "uber" to me. Ack-ack is a smart and patient pilot...he deserves the kills that he harvests from me. no argument. he also tends to fly solo in my experience and i give him extra props for that. Other guys called "uber" always have wingmen and so even though they may kill me me more then i kill them...its not because of their individual skill.
who would i refer to as uber? i really only have two that i get the adrenaline going for...Creton and Blukitty (manetmp). those are guys who dont always have advantage but still seem to stay alive and get kills. But im narrowing the gap:aok the dueling ladder should be fun...and eye opening for many...hope to see you all there:t

Mickey,
Sorry Fluffy is my 12ft tall cave bear. And if you want to play with her thats your business.....:confused: Sauseges and cooking oil between the two of you would be well worth getting out the old vidcam.
Please don't confuse her with the cats Furball, Lockwood and bustr. Furball and bustr together don't weigh as much as Lockwood. But if you wanna try to lube him up...it's your skin......:eek:
Now for the pictures....I have a great photo editing suite and Nomde gave me some great pictures of the weekend you two spent in Tahiti......:huh
-
Falcn, I have fought more than my share from the less alt position and dont mind doing it. I have called people down to engage me below them...hardly hiding from it.
guess the point of the question is this...if you want to defend base...best defense is offense...this tactic that was used in this case...ended up losing base. Not the desired effect, im sure. If you decided to grab some near, over base to get above/coalt with cons, why not attack...go towards their base and push them down, so your buds can get up in good position to push as well? base defended and now you on offense to take enemy base.

You trolled bustr, "good and misguided"? I'd say far from it. Admitting you did that is the first step, there is NO reason to lock the thread.

Mash,
I admit to worse than a trolling. I really believed my opinion of KillinU mattered to myself and that folks like yourself care about your impact on the community. For this I was willing to run the gauntlet of AH BBS business as usual. For that reason I admit to being stupid. Otherwise I have seen superior trolls on this BBS than I'm capable of.
I pick my share of cherry's using the same tactics KillnU uses. Must work since I caught him with it. I refuse to question the picker when I get picked. After all I put myself where the picker could get me what ever factors inspired us to meet at that moment. It's irrelevant. The 56th is famous for using wingman tactics to cherry people. P47's work better as a group.
It struck me as a poor example for the rest of us average players by someone as talented as KillnU to even swet it on ch200 in front of everyone. It made me wonder if there were more talented players who thought so low of the rest of us cherry fodder.

bustr, don't bother trying to explain yourself to some of these "gentlemen" (LOL).

My opinion means nothing, ask anyone "good", they'll tell you "Karaya sucks". I have a new outlook on this game after taking a two-week layoff. The folks nowadays are more into "rank hightening" then "getting into a 10 minute long fight that leaves you drained." My new motto is "Two tears in a bucket, mother f*** it."
Those days are gone.
I rarely get <>'s, but I give them out. Those "who cannot be bothered" are the "egotistical elite" of an "imaginative far-off land" folks that I'd careless in life to meet anyways. If it WAS/IS a good fight, I think regardless of "who won", a salute should happen. If I'm in a 1 vs 1 and some lamer swoops in ruining it for both, they can salute me all day, they won't get a response out of me. I was in a 1 vs 1 with "CaptCole" a month ago, and a friendship was born. I winged with his squadron for a week. Life is too short.
But really, Killn himself told me only "1/2 of your first post was true". I rarely post about fights in here, it isn't worth it. I get accused of "having an ego", and I do not have one. Heck, about a year ago, ghi posted a thread on "would you vulch this field?". I posted "that I would and have", Viper215 saw fit to exclaim "do you think you are some God or something?" All I did was state a fact and got under someone's skin, "because I didn't give some the answer they were looking for."
I've shot down "the best" (except Vati) and get shot down by the worst, I have no "ego". I DO get pissed when some are too chicken to fight 1 on 1. Why am I rambling on? I haven't the foggiest idea, but I felt the need too.
Heck I even had my post BLATANTLY ignored (it's obvious why) in "platano's P-47 thread", because I "told the truth." It's life, I was just raised not to lie.
<> from someone who "sucks".

look, i get picked/rammed/ho'd/good fights and everything else every day. Im sorry you took a question as whining/bit..../moaning or anything else. I asked a question.
I never said what you did was a lame tactic, dweeby, noobish or anything else, I asked a question. If you took it that way, im sorry.
Im not "questioning" how you play, but asking a question of why people choose to do that. Anyone can ask me why I choose to play the way I do, fight the way I do and I wont have a single problem with it. I dont have a problem answering it. I fly for fun, kill people and try to land in one piece. I wont run from a 1 vs 1 at any alt situation in game, period...because to me a good 1 vs 1 in MA is a rare thing. I pick and rope because it is easy to kill people that way when they fall for it. I TnB because it is dang fun for me. Ive TnB dang K4 with everything in game...won some, lost some, but it is dang fun for me to try to win in a TnB(not all horizontal turns) agains a plane that should out TnB me.
I dont grab over my own base, ever...because I want to push fight to enemy. Best defense is good offense.
I typically lvl at 8-10k because anything else is just overkill imo.
see, its ez. I dont mind answering question of how I play or why I do it that way.
I do have an issue with people that I rarely see in MA, trying to tell me I play a certain way and thats it...because majority of the time they are dead wrong. Not enough to get upset over, because it is a game, but do have in issue nonetheless.
flying in a group? no biggie, I was CO of 475th for awhile, was fun for me at the time to fly in groups of 38s and just rampage a sector of the map with the people i was flying with, because I enjoyed flying with them. That ended up getting somewhat old to me, and I left for various reasons to "lonewolf" for a bit and feel free to fly whatever I wantedl, where ever I wanted, with whom i wanted and however I wanted...without feeling obligated to my squad...which I put on myself.
I still fly with most of them, they are great group of guys who are a joy to fly with and against.
Point is, fly how you want. was never saying it was wrong how you fly...was asking why people chose to do it. To me, there is a difference there. if there is not...then so be it.

Ask Falcnwng, I do NOT troll. USRanger, you haven't played long enough to have an "objective" outlook. You rant on about something you haven't a clue on.
Heck, I post in here about winging with "the BK's" and I'm instantly labeled "a BK wannabe", "BK kiss-arse", "someone who wishes they could join the squad", etc. You are VERY mistaken.
Bustr, even said in the VERY FIRST post. "You Gents and Ladies are so good at this game, please take it as a compliment when some of us actually gain a victory on you. "
Bustr, HAS TO admit, that even though "hub was not as diplomaticas he could have been". He "was miffed at not being recognized after the said encounter."
USRanger, feel free to carry your "hatred baggage" concerning myself as long as you want. Know this, I've never done you wrong, nor do I care how you see me through your eyes. I was RAISED to treat other's how I am treated. Maybe you should get with Falcnwng, he may "tell you things that you are oblivious too." If you THINK I am as "shallow as to get bent out of shape over a stupid game", you are wrong.
-
The way I see it, the only person who's image is tarnished is your's, bustr.
What was the reason for posting this? What did you hope to accomplish? Did your post add anything to this board?
KillnU didn't seem to be calling you out, he just seemed curious as to why you were over your own base. I don't think he meant to infer that being over your own base was 'dweebish'. He just didn't understand why you were there and he wanted to know.
You made it more than it was. You took it as him trying to diminish your accomplishment in shooting him down, which I don't think he was doing.
I don't know either of you. This is just the way that I see it.

Mash,
KillnU is the first Rook in about 2 weeks I've successfully picked as a knight and lived to tell the tale. Usually I run into hoards of rooks at alt alone. I guess the reason I survived getting him was from my perspective a solo rook diving on the knight feild I happened to be over. I couldn't beleive my luck. No buddies to to hoard my 6 when I commited to the attack....:cool: I kinda figured in a K4 with that tactic it was a noob or someone who would make me regret getting involved.
I thought I shot a noob when the wing fell off. When I saw the kill message I figured he would send a salute and come back to kick my kester.....:O I hung around and tangled with 2-109's I thought was him and a freind hedin back for my hide. When higher spits, ponis and a tempest moved in my fuel dictated an rtb. Today was the first time I have survived a rook hoard and landed even one kill in a few weeks.
I've been fiten bish because their hoards are usualy below 12k and occassionaly I can pick one or two before I get in trouble with the rest....;)
I guess my rambling here is I expected KillnU to up and avenge himself on me as the top stick I think he is rather then use ch200 to make us both look silly. 1 vs 1 even start I can't beat him. Heck Ive only shot YUCCA down once in the DA and we were both in spit5's..........:)

Whoa Karaya, easy sister. I have nothing personal against you. "Hatred baggage"? LOL. This is one of many computer games I play, nothing more. I take none of you seriously, so there is no hate involved. I was merely stating that you, hubs, and a few others never have anything good to say to anyone. You come here just to harp on people. I couldn't care less about what any of you do in-GAME<-yes game. Some of you take this crap wayyyyy to seriously. So, all the yap about "hate baggage" and BK this and that (you lost me there) is pretty friggin funny to me. You are nothing more than a name on my computer screen, as I am to you, so chill out Sally. BTW, I've been playing a lot longer than I've been registered here, so yes, I AM allowed to have an opinion of the crap you(or anyone) spew. Don't like it? Well....

Bustr dont even be bothered by the BBS brood. as i understand how this fourm is suppose to work, u sharing your opinion and replying to responses is the intent of this place. true getting run over roughshod by a particular few in here is typical of the forums. there are just those people who have to interject regardless.
Killnu if you openly admitted that there are styles of play that you dont understand, maybe you should consider the alt defense one of them. although i have to admit it seems to be common practice in rookland. yes that is a generic blanket statement but there are many a times when i have tried to get into a rook base only to find a 15k defender circling aimlessly.

I was in K4, was at 10k...not 15k. I grabbed to 8k otw to your base....seen about 10 dots higher than me so grabbed to 10k. Did not see a enemy contact the entire way to your base.
I ran into a spit16, about 1k lower...he pulled up, i flat turn, he came back down after loop, i smacked him...2 nikis came in on me then...this was about 7-8k now directly over your base...draggin them up, they was 1k back....then spit14 was there from over me, 200 and got me.
my question was this....why not grab towards enemy base and move fight away from yours? that was question on 200...stated I didnt understand why you grab to 15K+ over you own base and hang out there.
I can understand grabbin up some near base to get coalt with guys coming in...but why not move away from your own base and push fight to enemies? If that wouldve happened, I would not of been 8-10K directly over your field without seeing a con. The fight wouldve been in between both fields.
not sure where the heck you came up with this "my 15k or so"....I was at 10.5k when you bounced me....I was at no point in time above where you hit me at.
Now, the question still stands, just like I asked on 200, why stay over own field when you have alt on incoming cons? why not push to enemy base and push them down some?
edit...and no, I never saw you up there.
I distinctly remember this on SQ ch! You asked me, "Who in the hell climbs to 15 K to defend a base?" I replied, "Dweebs!":aok

Big Mickey..... Doing my part to bring FUN back to the forums.
Exactly! So worried about "KillnU" that he had climbed up to a point above his own base that to, "miss" gave him an unlimited amount of E to correct his misgivings!
Dweebs, U gotta luv em! :aok

By the way the kitten was fascinated with the parts falling off your K4. His name is bustr and sends his regards. He trys to help me fly...:)
My real concern at the time was you are so good at this game and a bit of a legend. Why did it matter to "you" enough in the first place to say anything on ch200 to a "nobody" like me? Until you complained I admired your AH legend as an uber game player and someone for players to aspire to be like.
Unlike yourself, my recolection of the minute trivia and nuances of the fight are not very important. So I apologise if my recoloection is not as good as yours. Maybe thats part of why you are uber at this game.
My only concern is we average cherry fodder players only get a kill on someone like yourself by accident. And being at the uber level you obviously are it was strange you would complaine like some one of lesser abilities and impulse control.
Again I hope you were just having a bad day and all will be ok with yourself soon....:) My apologeise if I cannot play the game correctly....:(
Bustr, give it up! Don't dig deeper, you might find what you are looking for!

For all ya that Call bustr a dweeb......pay his subsription and then I'm sure he'll fly jus how you want him too..... Until then....pffttt.....FUHGETABOU TIT :aok

Everyone...the lumps and other barbed compliments in some ways are worth it because of the ribald but insisive banter from this audience. But SkyRock is right. I conceed...to the power of the blog mobs justice.
Merry Christmas to all for this thread and I ask Santa not to put coal in any of your stockings.....:aok
P.S. Santa ...please give KillnU one of those rear warning radar units for Christmas and 1000 cases of single malt to bribe HiTech to hook it up for him....:D

Wait a minute.....hmm......usually incoming to attack a base are higher then those defending at the base. I think since incoming would be higher and immediately put a defender at a disadvantage it would be wise to grab at least co alt or better to defend. Only makes sense imho.
I really can't picture the Luftwaffe waiting till the P47s got to their base to straffe and bomb to hit the runway and liftoff and get shot on takeoff.
Just a thought.
-
There is, of course, one universal denominator for this situation:
If I got shot down, I made a mistake.
The same thing as getting vulched 4 times, because of upping off a capped field.
Getting smacked in a rope, because you fell for it.
Getting smoked by Buffs because you made a dead 6 attack with only a 25-50 MPH speed advantage.
Getting your turret popped off 4X in a row, because you kept upping at a camped spawn.
If you did'nt learn after the first time, It's your own damn fault.
It takes SA to survive any amount of time in the MA's. You have to know where the NME is, How many he is, and, most importantly, Assume he knows where you are.
These are really simple rules...But they are broken continuosly. And yelling at the phosphor dots does'nt help.
-
my god...do any of you read?
Did I complain because I got shot down? No. I asked a dang question that not a single one of you has attempted to answer...except Falcnwing...base defense...I gave my opinion of why I think it is not a base defense...and in this case I was right...they lost base.
bustr, once again you are talking like I was whining about getting picked on 200...I asked a question, one you have yet to answer, other than "im not sure, i was playing with my cat". once again, you are talking like I had some great alt advantage over the first 3 red dots I saw...if 1k to coalt is some great advantage then sure....if having them pull up to me is "diving in on unexpecting enemy below", then sure...but it isnt. Keep ignoring what really happened and tryin to spin it in to something it wasnt...heck, maybe hub is right then.
here ya go, wtfg on the great kill!!!! You have done the equivalent of seeing the loch ness monster...no no...big foot!! Hope you got a screen shot of you killing me...print it out and frame it so you can share it with all your friends.
There better?
Hajo,
Try reading what I wrote...please? Think I already said that. But I did continue on to s\ay, when you have alt on incoming cons, like he did, why not push to enemy base and give your buds a chance to get up.
-
i totally get killnu's question and point. Sometimes i do question why that happens. Heck, in fact, sometimes I see people vigorously defend a base, and when the enemy wanes, everyone dissappears when I would think the logical thing would be to get on the attack. But then again, I guess people play the way they want to play; however, I see nothing wrong with questioning that. Its not about being right or wrong, its just to solicit information. Maybe saying a question out loud without passing judgement. I am sure everyone has done that sometime, in AH or life.
Back to the issue, when defending a base, i do grab as much alt as possible. It only makes sense.
All in all, I have loads of fun with this game :aok

lol, ya. its a boring topic, no one wants to answear the real question, and many want to try to turn it into something its not. so it's at least a little entertaining. it's kinda like ET, or extra or something. btw, the day i need an uber pilot to congratulate me on killing his cartoon airplane, will be the day i leave AH.
-
killnU is a fine pilot, and generaly when he has killed me in the past it has been through skilled flying not 'uber picking'
i don't really understand your point about where and when to climb and fight, killn, but i will defend your ability to fight a good fight.
just saying.
S!

Read the whole post, and have to say it's a bit odd. My opinion is if you get shot down, who cares what someones doing at 15k over his base, maybe he's trying to reach the pickers at 10, 12, or whatever k they are, isnt defending ur base a tactic? As is defending by pushing an offence as killin mentioend. Maybe he doesn't care about capturing bases right at that moment. I understand killins point, but really, if u post on 200 after a kill, it's usually coz ur pissed, at least that's when I post my crap! (rarely I must add) :) By the way, u picked me in my F4U the other day, u bar steward :)
Who cares, just play on.

I am going with Bustr on this one.
CH 200 is constantly filled with post-kill remarks ...
"Only took 5 of ya"
"Luck Shot" <--- my favorite
"BS ... 1 ping kill"
"No way plane x could do that"
What is the need for all of this ? You got killed ... simple as that ... shut up, suck it up, and get another plane and start all over again.
These types of remarks are simply self imposed deflections of ... I sucked at one particular moment and I don't want to admit it. The need to invalidate the kill so that their ego will survive.
If I had to get onto CH 200 and post some sort of "excuse" for getting killed, then half my time in AH would be spent typing ... it's nothing but a waste of time and achieves nothing except for the fact that one cannot accept that they got killed by X plane and/or Y person.
I have known KillnU for quite some time now ... have flown with and against him ... and he does not really participate, that I have seen, in this CH 200 blather.
Last time I killed him, he came on 200 and asked how my FM2 caught him in a dive. I believe it was an honest question by him trying to understand what just happened ... not that he was trying to invalidate my kill.
There are too many good pilots in AH that feel the need to constantly run their mouths on 200 and it's sad to see ... all the newbs that eventually, by word of mouth, find out who the "leet" players are, then emulate the 200 blather thinking that its cool and that that behavior somehow gets them closer to being "leet".
For example, I had a newb talk smack to me the other night, and for the first time in my AH career, I had to take him behind the woodshed and spank him twice. The way he was taking, you would think that he was some uber pilot ... twas not the case ... I am sure he was just emulating what he had seen on 200 and that made him feel bigger than he really was.
-
Now that I Remember, I have also been a victim of KillnU's frustration on 200.... :D I was flying in dweeb mode in a C-hog one night.....saw an IL2 trying to land... I vulched him :D
He says " Nice vulch"
I sarcastically say "ty"
he says "idiot"
I laughed to myself and kept on flying :lol
I personally dont Rant on 200.... (and if I do its because I've had too much hennessy)
If I get killed and get pissed about it I just simply tell my squaddies "damm
I'm down" and then I rant by myself, cussin at my moniter...
IMO ranting on 200 is just announcing your stupidity and ignorance.
(not pointing any fingers)

you are all right...my ego needed defended so I asked a question. thats it. I tell a story with correct details to try to attack the other person to deflect my lack of SA and the fact that I take this game way to serious. I actually hurt somebodies feelings because they looked up to me...I feel horrible. Is there some sort of support group for this? Im in need of help.:rolleyes:
plat...that was frustration, that was me being direct and voicing my opinion of you for what you did. I get frustrated at my students for not following advice...not over a game.

I completely understand and totally agree. Heck, the wife and I "celebrated" 8 years of marriage on the 4th. I still cannot get away from her. But "I'm a dork for playing this game and 6'ing everyone." She hates it when I say "check yer 6" in the game. So the quickest way to get rid of her, is when she approaches, REGARDLESS of what I'm doing in the game, is to "Check 6". I'll start doling out 6's something fierce (but not too thick). You should see some of the text, of those that have noone on em :D But use in moderation, the wife won't be onto it.
Cya tonight bud,
Jay

Wat a newlywed :D Try it for 31 years :aok
My wife loves to listen in on Vox :rofl
Don't be pushing her away to much or your gonna be breakin in a new one , and that isn't cheap by anymeans :rolleyes:

I sucked at one particular moment
Rofl!. From now on instead of saying GF or sending a salute when I get blasted. I'll send out the above statement. Blahahahahahaha!
:lol
Then when someone says something like, " GF Steve, how did you yada yada yada?"
MY standard response shall be: I didn't suck at that particular moment.
Heeeeee!

It is truly amazing how much can be said and made of what seems to be a simple misunderstanding.
I think Killnu has basically put it to rest, he was just being curious, and maybe it was taken the wrong way.
Well, everyone, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and may you have a working chute always!

KillnU is a dweeb, always has been, always will be. Other then that he's one of the easiest folks to get along with in AH.

As I read these forums, I am reminded of the following incident, which all put things in a proper light, for me @ least....
My 5 yr old boy, Jon, is sitting on my lap and loves watching me play Aces High. So, with my son watching, I take off in my favorite Dweeb ride, the Niki. Climb out, get to a furball, and promptly shoot 3 down. HA, I think, a miracle! Still got a ride in good shape, gas, and ammo. The whole time my son is cheering, giving me warnings, and asking he if he can talk smack on my "voice thingy." He's very into it. Anyhow, I get jumped on the way RTB, thinking of landing my kills. I get shot down. Well, my son stops cheering, thinks a moment, and says cheerfully " That guy sure was good, Daddy. Maybe we need to find him and ask him how to do all that neat stuff."
Point....My 5 yr old, with his child's perspective, was not angry @ the loss of the kills, or us "loosing" He was ready to start over, have some more fun, and figure out how someone did all those neat things. He felt no anger, just a joy that all it took was a few mouse cliks and we could do it all over, and see some more neat things.
The incident I speak of taught me....It is a great time, AH, and we can all learn from one anthor, without malice. It showed me, if someone is "Uber" /w a certain ride, Learn from that person. My son sure did, cause next time we engaged, he actually anticipated the move and warned me.
Still got shot down.....My son looks at me, smiles, giggles, and says "don't worry, we'll beat that silly neat airpane next time."

I rarely anyone .. just seem a bit cheesy to me.
If I want to say somethin, I type it out ..'nice fight' an such.
'course .. I do get shot down while typing now an then :)
There are times when I *am* too busy to type ..dodgin trees, bullets, trackin 3 bandits above me all with me on their menu .. etc :)
As for Bustr .. I think he's uber :)
I guess that means Killnu is Ubererical? (<--Thrawnical -evil grin-)

I'm not the only one who thinks that way! It's always felt wierd to type to me as well, cause, as you say, it just seems a bit cheesy.
And I'll type nice flying, nice fight, nice shot or something similar.
Whew! That's been bugging me. Now i can relax :)
