If people like to dogfight and it is about aerial combat, why the MA.
Some pretty good stuff goes on in TA. Is it you can't see the bad guy go poof or catch fire why MA is better?
Or is it about score?
-
it's like catch and release for me. I'll do it but not most of the time.
-
Once upon a time there really only was the MA, CT was a little side note but MA is where most of the socializing happens.
-
go away noob.
It's like this. TA is where you go to learn to dogfight. MA is where you go when you are a decent dogfighter to play the game against other decent dogfighters. DA is where you duel other dogfighters to see who is truly better, or to just have a 1 on 1 fair good fight.
Just stop.

LOLz, so you want everyone to come to the TA so you don't actually have to get shot down, you just get used for target practice? Lamest troll EVARRRR!Q!!!!!!!!1!11!

lol, excactly. I'd rather see my wing fall off and re up. Have you ever dueled anyone in the DA and after a couple of minutes you are both missing flaps, ruders, oil damage etc. Have you killed anyone after he shot your rudder off? How are you going to do that in the TA? You will have to listen to someone say bang bang bang I killed your left flap? lol
TA is good only for teaching a new guy the basics of a fight, feeding some egos, and producing people that are afraid to fight with out and advantage.

Actually a valid Subject.
If "scoring" was based on K/D ratio vs. K/D ratio, most of these Tom Cruise a/k/a Maverick wannabee's would be left out to dry.
I assure you that most fighter jocks in here would much prefer to shoot down Lancasters, goons or newbies instead of matching up their skills with a similarly ranked (k/d ratio) fighter.
If the k/d ratio of the "victim" were factored into the equation, it would also solve the "shooting ur brother" point padding method.
Something for AH staff to think about.

:huh I'd much rather fight a tard such as yourself than go after a Lanc. I'm far less likely to get hit.

Not really. k/d and scores can be interprited many ways. One thing is for sure though. A low k/d means the person does fight. For example, if my goal was score or winning, I'd mach rather go against SHawk with a great k/d than lets say Skyrock. If the goal was fun or just the fight, I'd rather go after Sky.
(No offence SHawk, just using your score as an example)
-
Who the hell cares about scores? Score only means that you are better at gaming the game. When someone with a better score then me says they're a better stick then me because of it I laugh at them. Only reason I try to have a good score is to keep CVs away from n00bs. Like last night a noob had one off A12 (uncapturable base) whining about taking it when we moved it away.

You thought wrong!
I would much rather fight and die against a good stick than chase buffs. I suck at killing buffs because I am just too impatient.
And I rarely go hunting for goons. If I see one I will kill it but it ain't high on my priority list.

See rule #4

Yer the best deadalast...opps, sorry dedalos. We understand that now.
It's ok. We all know your the best. Keep up the good work!Darn, I thought I should repeat it so everyone will forever know you're the best of the best and everything you learned and done to help anyone in the game is a direct result of your learning absolutely everything for yourself without any help from anyone, ever in the game of AH or AH2. Yep, you sure are the best. Please remind me the next time I see you in the air just how great you really are. I think I can go on and on all night long if you'd like. Gawd, how I wish I could walk in your shoes just for one second! Whew!!!! Wait, I almost forgot I should really say you're the best of the rest of best! Not just the rest but really the best!!! One question, can you really look yourself in the mirror? :rofl
As far as score goes, I'm not interested either way but it sure appears to be a pretty easy out for many people to simply say, "score means little as everyone games the game". For those of you who could never game the game, nor get anywhere near many of the better pilots, that sure is an easy way out. Yep, score means exactly what you want it to mean when you can't get one!!!

:rofl See what I mean about feeding the egos? Never said I was the best. I never will be. Anyone that thinks he is the best is an idiot.
Are you the best? :lol
As far as helping, the people I have helped know that I have. I don't need me or them to post about it nor do I need a badge that says that I help people. However, the once I did help are fighting. They are not flying at 20K waiting to BnZ some lower con. BTW, I never tought anyone how to bail either, lol.
As I said in my text. My opinion was formed after 5 years in this game.

Folks that are lucky, at some point, figure out that scores in this game are a very poor measure of player skill (these players have a chance to leave dweebdom behind :)). The only thing having a great score in the MA shows is that you are great at scoring points. It's not that skilled players don't play for high score. It's that skill challenged players can manipulate the scoring system to gain high scores.
As for the "k/d ratio of the "victim" were factored into the equation..." stuff. It's been done before (I know Brooke remembers ELO) and it was as easily manipulated as any other scoring system will be.
In the end, it is all about your T/F ratio. If the Time you put in is equal or lower than the amount of Fun you are having....you are a WINNER!!! :D

Yeah. that's what 5 years did to you. Gee, 5 whole years! Yer a regular veteran that's seen and done it all. I stand in awe of your magnificent aura. I just hope I don't step in any. It'd take a week to get rid of the stink.
Seems to me like 5 years in the game has done absolutely nothing for you regarding listening to some new guy, that has been playing a couple of weeks who'se trying to offer up his take on the game.
Get over yourself. It only makes you look the like aura you are trying to project and the more you project it the more it's gonna stink. Go for it homey.
And to think I had thought a lot more of you than this. It's amazing how wrong I guess I can be.
Did I mention that yes you did try to tell everyone just how great you are? You, personaly have not seen anything good come out of the TA. You don't even know what goes on in there. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why damage is turned down but I guess that's a concept that is hard for you to get. We get guys that have years of flying experience who come back to the TA to get more lessons. Yet, you say you've been to the DA with a trainer. I call Big Deal! If you haven't been there don't presume to actually think you know anything about what goes on. It just makes you stink a lil more. Ah, never mind. This is really way to far over your head after reading your garbage and to me you're not worth the few seconds it takes to type this.
I'll make sure I mute you in the MA's because you offer nothing to me in this game.

NB is right but he's an old dweeb! He's older than the hills but DOES know how to have fun.
My take on score is if you're new and that's what you wanna use as some sort of standard while you learn the game then that's your choice. A month from now your ideals may change. Six months from now they're likely to change again. Do what makes you happy and keeps your interest in the game. As far as gaming the game. Anyone who does it know they only folks they're kidding is themselves. Everyone else knows they're doing it so it has no value even to them.
If you get up, fly to a fight, fight your fight and win then you probably had a lot off fun doing it. If you lose the fight you still had fun but you wanna get back up and try the guy again. There's nothing more honest that giving it your all, win or lose. And like NB said...check yer T/F ratio...yer prolly already a winner. :)

Follow your advice
And to think I had thought a lot more of you than this. It's amazing how wrong I guess I can be.

I gues I bad since I don't agree with you
Did I mention that yes you did try to tell everyone just how great you are? You, personaly have not seen anything good come out of the TA. You don't even know what goes on in there. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why damage is turned down but I guess that's a concept that is hard for you to get.

Well, after you calm down a bit, you will see that that was a responce to different question and you may even find it funny.
We get guys that have years of flying experience who come back to the TA to get more lessons. Yet, you say you've been to the DA with a trainer. I call Big Deal!
[/B]
Several, not one.
I mean that I have fought them and I have seen their over grown egos explode when things dont go their way. Do you need names? Films? Do you need to see them vulching people in the DA? Do you need to hear them calling them totally tubular forigners on vox? That is why I said that I have fought with them. I ve seen their personalities and fighting styles. And yes that does not apply to all of them cept the ego thing. That does aply to all lol.
If you haven't been there don't presume to actually think you know anything about what goes on. It just makes you stink a lil more. Ah, never mind. This is really way to far over your head after reading your garbage and to me you're not worth the few seconds it takes to type this.
I'll make sure I mute you in the MA's because you offer nothing to me in this game. [/B]
Ahhh, you can't read can you? lol. I've been there., and when it is time for me to learn how to safely BnZ I will come looking for your sevrvices. Thank you in advance

Stop by next Thursday night (6/14) at 9 PM for our 1v3 duel-fest and you'll find out. It's a weekly TA event.
Everyone gets to fight at least 3 vets/MA regulars at once.. Great fun. Believe me, you'll know when your dead. ;) It's a potentially endless 1v3. However, if any pilot can put the others in the tower and avoid taking hits, he gets a pretzel.
Every pilots gets an opportunity to be the rabbit.
Last night, I flew the P-40E. One pilot flew the P-51B and P-40B (practicing for today's KOTH) and the others flew various Spits and F4Us. It was a blast and nothing builds SA skills like dueling a crowd.
