I had some bad landings with the 234 so I was in the training section practicing, took 20 mins to 30 mins making a bomb run, heading back, and really wanted to practice landing. Im IB at 2,000' and 250 mph when this bogey comes up on my tail and starts following me. I specifically told him twice not to shoot cause I was practicing. So what does he do? He starts shooting for about 2 mins until he knocks down a bomber at 2,000' and 250 mph.
When I challenge him on it he goes, "get over it noob", and "I live to shoot down noobs". That kinda thing.
Hes probably about 12yo. So what should we do with "Artie"? A spanking or maybe go to bed without supper? 30 mins of my morning wasted cause of this boy.
Is this kid an exception here?

See Rules #6, #7 (you are running out points here)

Practice off-line. No issues.

Agreed.

Agreed.....Practice Offline.
You *do* know the 234 has a rear cannon? The moment he opened fire, I'd have shown him that cannon.
Nothing to be done with the kid. Obviously has no self confidence or skills to go up against anyone who does if he hunts in the TA of all places. Free players have access to TA or not?
I was in TA to practice rocket runs... been a while....in a Jug when I got "jumped" by a Niki.... this was in divebombing setting. So I run him around a while on the deck, a couple reversals, then dropped all my E (flaps and gear) then watched him flutter trying to stay with me until he lawndarted into a hillside.
Checked the roster, there were two pilots flying like that it seems.
-
can you even shoot people down in the ta?
-
Was you in the TA because if you were HE cant damge you (shoot your bomber down).
They are not supposed to shoot you without asking for permission but I have noticed lately that there are a lot of kids in there not following rules.
If it happens again film your training (ALT-R) and send it to HTC
GL luck on your landings

Yaknow if he did it out of ignorance I'd have no problem with it. Even if he did it out of youth I could live with it. But he was doing it on purpose, told me so, and even told me to "F" myself.
He's 17yo, or so he told me. Most of the guys here are real gentleman, even most of the kids. I think this boy could use his head shaved and 10 weeks with a drill instructor without mommie to clean his room. It worked for me at his age.:D
Yeah I was in the general training area over the big water. He shot at me for about 1 to 2 minutes to no effect but then something happened where he shot my wing off. I know it wasnt me I was 2,000' 250 mph, on auto, trying to messg the kid off me.

i have noticed alot of rule breaking myself.

Rich what you should of done is film it and report him to HTC. He should not be able to cause damage to you at all in the TA, and your original assesment about his age was correct if he acted like this. He may even physically be 17 but mentally he is 12.
The kiddies need to learn how to read and comprehend, so that they can follow the rules in the TA
-
First of all, damage is disabled in the TA. So, you CANNOT be shot down. You can, however, auger due to being distracted.
Things you can do about obnoxious TA players:
1. Run film and e-mail the film to HTC.
2. If there is a Trainer in the TA at the time, ask him to intervene. Shooting at anyone without permission is expressly forbidden by the TA rules, which are displayed when you log in and on the MOTD. Deliberately annoying other players will earn you a minimum of a 1 hour expulsion from the arena, or more if the Trainer is sufficiently ticked off.
My regards,
Widewing

That is not the solution. I fail to see the logic of the people replying like this. It is OK to break the rules because it is my fault for being there? What kind of logic is that? If I drive by your home and break your windows is it your fault because you put the house there? Would you come in here and say that you should have moved in the midle of the desert if you did not want that to happen and that it is OK for me to do so? :huh
I have the same problems in the DA with the guys upping a 262 from the next field. I guess that is my fault and I should set up my own H2H server. He should be allowed to continue doing the 262 runs.
-
Regardless of punks in the TA, the solution is a valid one. If he wants to practice landing the AR234, and nothing else (just landing the Ar234), then offline is the best solution. No outside distractions or problems. If he has a question then he can go to the TA and look for help.
But, if he just wants to land, nothing else. Offline is a good suggestion.
-
lol 234 is UBER i was flying all last night in FT bombing the run ways and shooting people down with my canon.Even got a 262 :aok :rofl.And if i ran out of bombs i would ram them(got to many bomber perks).

A very good sudgestion too. However, it was not offered that way and this is not the first time I see replies like that one. He was where he was. He was following the rules. Teling him to go somewhere else if he does not like people being rude, is not a good sudgestion
-
Perhaps, but from what I gather from baldeagle's other posts, I do not think it was rude. I think it was simply practical.
I do see what you mean, though, and agree on the social aspect of it.

WTG!!! It looks like you can find a way to turn any topic into a I Love Me Thread! :rolleyes:

Yeah, I did not mean that it was rude ir that he is the one always responding like that. Just in general, I dont understand that responce. The guy never askded for a place that he could do that safelly. He was just venting

I wasn't trying to be rude at all. If all you want to do is practice bombing or landing then off-line is the best place to do so. As I said, no distractions.
If you want to practice ACM or air-spawn at alt on the other hand then you want to go to the TA (I've heard you can do these things... I've never been there).
I agree the kid was being a jerk and should be reported to HTC.
I just flew by the post with a quick suggestion. Nothing more, nothing less.

He rammed me. Come to think of it. Because he dissapeared from the screen right after he hit me. He told me he was 17yo. Right before he told me to "#-off".
I just read rules 6 & 7. Like I said Im fairly new here. Apologies for not reading them fully before. It wont happen again.
-
You'll note the "edited by Skuzzy" comment in devildog's post. That means Skuzzy (one of HTC's staff) has edited his post. That was Skuzzy telling devildog. Had it been for you, he would have edited your post, and/or sent you a warning.
-
The sad thing is that there is a LOT of this happening in the TA lately. I'll go in there to play with settings or to find a few good practice sessions and every night i have been in there this month i have had someone just line up and start basting away, usually the same offenders too. When i cal them on it i get the same text abuse. Not a big deal since i cant get shot down, its more the blatant disregard for the rules and a lack of decency.
-
See Rules #4, #5
-
Yeah, the kid was on my tail for like 2 minutes blasting away, I actually didnt even know you cant sustain damage in that room until I was told here. I just thought he was a lousy shot. You can when someone flys into you, I'll attest to that.
From now on I'll just go offline to do it. However the perc for on-line is often there is a trainer there when you need help. Ive had a few help me in there, very graciously BTW.
And it was the most important part of the run too. I was getting a feel for the 234 on low level. Well at least I figured out how to take off without the rocket assist.
-
You can only sustain damage in the TA by a ram from someone that is not on the same team as you are, or of course hitting the ground or a building.

LOL. What was devildog saying?

Generally if I'm in the TA I check first to see if a trainer is in there and who they are.
If someone shoots at me without asking I politely ask them not to. If they continue to do so and there's not a trainer in there I just return the favor because it's generally someone who is very new and lousy enough for me to continually rain lead into. Then I giggle as they auger and ignore them as much as possible. If they come back for more lather, rinse, repeat, and giggle some more especially if they start losing it and cussing me on vox or 200. I might get upset if someone calls me something I haven't been called before but they're going to have to dig deep in the bag to find something and most of these guys have a big bag of nothing.
What makes this more fun is that, generally speaking, there are a few squad mates and some regs that will cheerfully join in the fun.
If there's a trainer in there I pm them and let them handle it.
