Funny, I tuned for 20 minutes and got called "Lamo" and a cheater all by the same person on two separate occasions. Thanks for the reminder of why it isn't worth it.

can't turn off 200, like sittin on the side of the autobahn waiting for the carnage.

The really sad thing is: In EW & MW arenas they use CH 1 instead of 200. And you can't squelch channel 1. And it's far more worse at times than Ch200 in LW arenas... :rolleyes:

Most days the banter on 200 is worth the 15$ a month the game costs.
However I have seen a lot more trash talk, bad manners, and just plain out and out bruised ego's lately. Not to mention downright disrespectful, and out and out hateful garbage.
The good news is that the AH community does still have the ability to regulate itself. Thank you HTC!
And I'll take this opportunity to add one gentle reminder.
Everyone has more than enough frustration, anger, and unhappiness in their lives. No need to share yours with us. Leave it on your side of the monitor.
On the other hand no one gets as much respect, camaraderie, and good will as we deserve. Feel free to dispense it as needed. Its amazing how a little trickle of respect here & there sent to others will in time turn into a flood of respect coming back your way. Really, give it a try!
Yes we know you just ended up back in the tower. But if it was a worthy foe, step up, send that . And if you just won, what does it cost you to pull some of the sting from his defeat. A quick helps take the sting out of losing and encourages fair play.

Although I've found YANK seems to be OK. Had a couple of good fights with ............. can't recall ever gettin any PM's from..... we did salute each other but.....
BUT One of em didn't just PM me! Came on vox tellin me I had just had the luckiest shot of my AH carrer! AND NO WAY could I catch him in his run90d9, which BTW I had just pretty much done. Got a PW on him after managing to close the distance at about 800 to 1k with the 50's on a f4u-1a. Guess he didn't want to fly with a PW. He went nose down and augered.

i agree 73, i have actually flown with a few of the "o" guys, never dallas though, he's a panzy, but thats my opinion, anyways, they do have some decent guys on their squad too bad they all hang out with that idiot. i have to admit though, my favorite "o" guy is oACBo, he's cool guy, winged with him many times and had a blast. also he makes good bait <>
seriously, we cant judge the rest of their squad for the actions of one or two bad apples. just my 2cents :)

well...ur meaning of " clever " and my meaning of "clever" maybe 2 different things...i mean, for example, i talk smack on 200 too..NEVER TAKE ANYTHING I SAY SERIOUSLY...but does that mean i'm a bad person and makes my squad bad? i only got luv PM's from dallas...(still wont go to the DA with me). dallas goes overboard though, his PM's rn't just in fun, he's really just bein a &$@&$@#$#&$ :p

200 is a hoot! Someone smacktalking over 200 at least has some guts....rather than the coward smacktards that only smack via pm.
You ever get one of those guys who just can't give up with the pm's?

*white text* blah blah blah
*white text* blah blah blah
and on and on... All the while I'm laughing so hard Dr. Pepper is threating to erupt from my nose. After about 5 or so minutes...I grew weary and squelched.
Makes you wonder about how those people behave in real life. :huh

I agree with a lot of comments here. The chat on 200 can be quite entertaining to read, even though sometimes it seems to go a little far. When I recieve a
, win or lose, it does remind me that there is a respectable person controlling that other cartoon plane, and makes my experience that much more enjoyable.
But a certain person has pushed the limit of harmless trash talk, and I would like an opinion on the matter. Here's the scenario, name ommited due to issue:
Myself flying alone out of quiet field to help fight off base cap.
Along the way, spot high con incoming to field.(myself thinking tasty bombers).
Change course to investigate, find lonely 109 or 190 (cant remember).
High con dives, I turn to avoid. He misses and extends.
I give chase for a bit, then think he's heading home, so I head back to intended destination.
He then returns, and tries same tactic.
I again avoid, but this time I am able to reverse and get on his 6 about 400 out. ( by this time we are close to deck).
Since I am now on his six, he now intentionally puts it in the dirt.
There's the "fight", now here's what follows:
I get a private vox message stating something to this effect:
"You know cutting throttle like that is going to get you in trouble. Me and my friends are going to find and kill you. Good Luck."
Now that statement could have been taken in game, or out of game. That is the issue here.
Now for one thing, you can type on 200 and call me every swear to sunday, and it is never taken personally. It is a game after all. but to vox something like that to someone seems a little over the line. Now this person has vox'd me before, but usually picking on what I choose to fly, or how I fly it, ect. But this particular vox, in my opinion, is on borderline of report. I'm a grown man, so I, myself, feel no threat whatsoever from this, but I know that there are plenty of younger folks as well as old, and I would hate to have someone of the younger generation get this message and really feel in danger.
Any opinions?
-
I can see where your commin from.I think people sometimes forget that there are kids that play this stuff.If ya feel strongly about the incident I would report it privatly to HTC.
Pipz
-
Sounds like the guy is an idiot. Squelch him (can you squelch vox? Never tried) and forget about him, life is far too short to let a game tard upset you.
Smack is fun. I'm not very good, so I usually don't participate in it...but I get a big hoot out of people trying to smacktalk me on 200... It's usually the lamers, you kill them or they auger...they'll call you a stick stirrer or some other generic insult to try to mask their ineptitude.
If squelching him and ignoring him doesn't work, or if it gets "too far" I'd email one of the admins. He's probably just trying to rattle you, because you beat him and hurt his ego.
Smack on 200 is fun, personal message smack is kinda lame, personal vox smack is the lamest of them all.
-
What is chan 200??? :p
There is already this BBS to talk the talk. IMO the game is meant to walk the walk.
-
I thank you for the comments.
It's not like it really upsets me, sometimes I want to find him just to see what he's going to say next. :lol
The jumping in on vox can be annoying, I admit, but my concern is that if he takes the vox comments that far, how far will he really go?
It's not a whine or anything by any means, I actually got a chuckle out of it chattin with squaddies, and it was forgotten about. But once in a while it would come back into my mind thinking "I can't believe he actually did that." So i'm just hoping he doesn't "overstep the bounds" and really do something stupid.
When I play, I know there are people at the other end of those planes, and I try to treat them the way I expect to be treated. Now on 200, I am guilty of complaining about HO's or taunting the runaway pony just like many others. If I do the same, go ahead and trash talk me. Call me dweeb, or "anal orifice" or "richard cranium" (polite way of putting things, lol). And once that is over, ya get a chuckle, salute each other, and move on.
I'll tell the good sticks they are PITA's, because I know they're better, they know they're better, and it's my way of acknowledgment of "stop shooting me down and go for someone else" :)
But back to the reason of the post, is not for me, but thinking about how it could affect the rest of our community. Kinda like trying to stop a bar fight before it starts. ;)
-
weve used a cross country channel since the begining ... its just part of the play
Sometimes you meet and make friends ,,, other times your taunting someone enough that they get all confuzzeled and they make mistakes ... :D

RECORD it with film!!!!!!!
Send film to Skuzzy!!!!!!!!! IT WILL STOP!!!!!!!
Had something similar, fixed it by giving the film to Skuzzy.
PM's and VOX to you while flyin in AH without permission is a BIG NO NO!
Some use it to try and distarct you! To give their squadies a possible advantage.

200 Can be fun but few takes it over the line....
Ive learned from other players using 200 in smaller arenas and used it before during and after fights...
If used properly it has a place...
Sometimes the calls of HO, Dweeb, etc etc etc go over board but most of the time I will simply respond politely explaining it from my perspective and thats normally it...
But hey maybe im not good enough to thump my chest on 200, so to each their own....
Just should try and keep it somewhere in the general neighborhood of good taste and fair play.. its still only a game..
<<<>>>

I haven't read the whole thread, but I just have to say that pipz is a stand up guy! :aok
He's one of the best guys that AH has! I unfortunately use Ch200 and it does me no good, it would be best to keep it shut but it has some weird entertaining value in it. :D
Anyways, pipz, if you ever want to join to the finnish channel with us finns, just give me a shout...it will be mostly finnish but I promise to throw some english there aswell!! :aok

About a week ago I was looking around for goons to kill in my K4 so we wouldnt loose a base. I was about 7K and soon four dots came into view three coalt and one on the deck. I knew the one OTD was a goon so I hit WEP and started diving to get speed. The tree coalts were now about 3k above me when I pasted all of them they didnt even move it was like I wasnt even there. I droped in on the goon and kill him right after that I looked behind me to see a ki84 , niki , and 190 all about 5k out. I droped below the trees trying to get back to my base. the 190 and and ki was gaining on me and once the 190 was 1000 out I turned to try to make him over shoot but he zoomed back up and waited till the niki and ki were right on me and making me turn as ard as I can. He then started to BNZ me missing everytime. After about 2mins of turning the niki got me and not 15secs later oDALLASo tuned to my vox and started blabing about "you really did'nt think I'd let you land that goon kill did you" and other stuff like he was hot watermelon and just pwned me in a 1v1. It was the funniest thing I ever heard like if they killed me thier goon would come back to life and me killing him did'nt count.

Larry, smack monkeys are impervious to reason and stuff like "a good fight", or earning good kills rather than not... they'll smack you whatever happens.
All that makes a difference is shooting them down over and over again, whatever the odds, whatever the ACM (i.e. HOing too if it comes to that). You have to kick out all the rules and leave none of their attempts, however good or bad, unsquashed.
Only then is the holy light of righteous smack extinsguished in their heads :p

Larry... some players you gotta just ignore. The guy you are talking about is sertainly one of them.

Yeah funny thing is I up another K4 and find him on the deck and get in on his six about 600 out and he trys sturing so my taters cant hit and he ends up running into a tree.

And as if getting sent back to the tower isn't bad enough then you have to go and make an azzzz out of yourself complaining to the one that killed you.
To be honest, i have sent a comment flying, actually slayr1 got me a couple times on the runway,(my fault for upping again) in just a few seconds.
i forget what i typed out to him,but nothing in the form of a compliment.
i figuered out where he was coming from in his 190 and went to meet him, i was so pissed!
i spotted him, almost co-out with him, i was so eagar to kill him i climbed to meet him,and.......back in the tower, its not bad enough i got killed(again) or that i could still hear his cannon firing for a few seconds(really hate that), but after sending a nasty note his way im sure he had a great laugh on me! and to top it all off, i feel bad for the pm i sent him.
So when ya get mad, take a breath, take a minute, hold your tongue, everybody will be better off.

He's one of the best guys that AH has! I unfortunately use Ch200 and it does me no good, it would be best to keep it shut but it has some weird entertaining value in it. :D
Anyways, pipz, if you ever want to join to the finnish channel with us finns, just give me a shout...it will be mostly finnish but I promise to throw some english there aswell!! :aok
Thank you for the compliment WidowMaker.No matter how misguided they were;)

I agree with a lot of comments here. The chat on 200 can be quite entertaining to read, even though sometimes it seems to go a little far. When I recieve a , win or lose, it does remind me that there is a respectable person controlling that other cartoon plane, and makes my experience that much more enjoyable.
But a certain person has pushed the limit of harmless trash talk, and I would like an opinion on the matter. Here's the scenario, name ommited due to issue:
Myself flying alone out of quiet field to help fight off base cap.
Along the way, spot high con incoming to field.(myself thinking tasty bombers).
Change course to investigate, find lonely 109 or 190 (cant remember).
High con dives, I turn to avoid. He misses and extends.
I give chase for a bit, then think he's heading home, so I head back to intended destination.
He then returns, and tries same tactic.
I again avoid, but this time I am able to reverse and get on his 6 about 400 out. ( by this time we are close to deck).
Since I am now on his six, he now intentionally puts it in the dirt.
There's the "fight", now here's what follows:
I get a private vox message stating something to this effect:
"You know cutting throttle like that is going to get you in trouble. Me and my friends are going to find and kill you. Good Luck."
Now that statement could have been taken in game, or out of game. That is the issue here.
Now for one thing, you can type on 200 and call me every swear to sunday, and it is never taken personally. It is a game after all. but to vox something like that to someone seems a little over the line. Now this person has vox'd me before, but usually picking on what I choose to fly, or how I fly it, ect. But this particular vox, in my opinion, is on borderline of report. I'm a grown man, so I, myself, feel no threat whatsoever from this, but I know that there are plenty of younger folks as well as old, and I would hate to have someone of the younger generation get this message and really feel in danger.
Any opinions?
I think you're reading waaaay too much into it.

Well Cyg ... I bet I know who the yokel is so just laugh it off. He is a tool, and im pretty sure it was a 190D9.

Channel 200 is like listening to Air America.

I haven't been playing AHII for very long. Each sortie is a learning experience for me. When I do something stupid and get killed it's nobodies fault but mine and I try to learn from it. When I get into a good dogfight with someone who has the same skills as I do it is always fun and I feel like I may be acquiring a few new skills. When I fight with someone who disposes of me in a matter of seconds I don't get mad, frustrated maybe , but I just hope I filmed the fight so I could get in his cockpit and see what he did to waste me.
It may make some people feel better if they talk trash to you or taunt you but it just shows their ignorance and childish ways. It's the ole cut you down to build me up syndrome. Pretty lane.

Last night I was flying in the EW and just for chits and giggles, I decided to lift a 109F-4. I very rarely fly German Iron, but wanted to see what it could do.
A CV was off the coast so I engaged a couple of A6M2s and scored kills ... I was climbing out and check my 6 and about 2.5K out I see a 190A-5 so I turn into him.
We were offset at the merge and I was pulling a lead turn ... during the turn he tried to score a quick deflection shot, but missed. Once we passed, I went vertical and to the right ... he went vertical. At this point I think he lost sight of me and flopped over trying to find me. I slammed hard right rudder trying to go for the deflection shot but missed. With that, we had to merge one more time and post-merge, I was saddled up.
At this point he is about 800 out and diving for the deck ... I follow ... once on the deck, he starts pulling the land-trout maneuver ... which most (should) know, BURNS speed and E. So I close to 200, get my timing down, and put some into the cockpit and BOOM.
Next thing I see on 200 is ...
"No way a 109 can do blah-blah at 390 mph" ... and I was "cheating" (WTG FOR ME !!!)
WTF is that ? ... how in the hell can someone tell how fast I was going. I have been playing this game for 5+ years and I couldn't, for all the gold in the world, tell you how fast you are going when I am fighting you. I look at nothing but the target ... never into the cockpit.
Anyway, I tell him that the land-trout maneuver never really works.
After that he gets real indignant and tells me to "blow it out my ***" ... and then feels the need to continue and type disparaging remarks about my wife ... very sad when someone has to resort to that type of attack.
Bottom line ... anyone who gets on CH 200 and has to spew a litany of excuses and/or disparaging remarks is really insecure about their WWII pixel prowess and cannot accept the fact that they might just have gotten schooled by a better pilot or they just flat out blew it.
If I had to get onto 200 and type out excuses for every time I get killed, I wouldn't have much time to fly.
Oh ... and before you tell me to send it in to HTC ... screen shots of the discussion have been sent.
