Title: What did I do wrong here?
Post by: BoostPSI on March 01, 2008, 04:02:13 AM
Okay, first off.. I'm not new to the game. Second, I have played long enough to establish myself as a respectful player. Most anyone I've flown with/against can attest to that. So tonight was my last night for about a year and a half (work) so I decided to burn perks and run 262 sorties.

Here's the story...

I come across a set of lancs. I make several passes (I can't aim well with 262) and kill one of the buffs (LTARMAC). Then he makes a sharp turn and his drone disappears. I got the kill for that. Then a fellow countryman blows his wing off and I get the kill from prior damage.  Then on 200 he says If I ever do that again he will send it to HTC. Now I'm confused. Did he see something I didn't?  So I ask on 200 then on PM what he was talking about and that I have no clue what's going on. He then says..."yea right" and probably squelched me because I never heard from him again.

I take this very seriously because I'm not a cheater, and to be accused as one I would at least want an explanation. Maybe there was a glitch that he saw? But from my POV, he was red so I killed him. Someone who knows what was going on please let me know, or LTARmac would you please shed some light here?

Thanks

Don't stress over it, mate. Instead, have a laugh about what an uneducated prat he must be not to comprehend what went on.

First off your getting there mate.  It's an AH honour to be accused :D

Secondly it's a lack of comprehension by the accuser.  :rolleyes:

No biggie :aok

boost is about as good an opponent as one can run across in this game.  I liked him or our team but I appreciate him more as an adversary who has no quit in him.  if you play against boost you have a fight until it is over.  there is no running in him.

sir!!

Is this AWMac?

LTARMAC=AWMac
     true "Hahahahahahahaha, AWMac you are a dork!"

     false "Perhaps you should learn how things work before you threaten to send film to HTC"

Wait, wait... you are talking about your teammate complaining about a "kill steal" right?  Not LTARMAC complaining about being killed.

He stated that the complaining took place on 200 so it would have been the lanc pilot.

It may well have been that MAC did not see the person who killed him and assumed that since BOOST recieved the kill for it he pulled some sort of aimbot long range super kill or something.

Seems like the most logical explanation to me.

sounds like mac was whining over getting shot down or something, who knows?

Not entirely hard to kill Lancs in a 262.

I think that might be it. I didn't seem like a whine as much as it seemed like he really thought something happened. Oh well, thanks for the input guys. I will look forward to seeing some of you and fighting most of you in about 1 1/2 years from now

Ltarmac is a fine guy ( for a LTAR :D  )  there must have been some misunderstanding in the thing.

Yes, AWMac = LTARmac.

Explains a few things, doesn't it.  :D


Boost, don't mind Mac . . . he was probably on his medication and not quite following the events that were unfolding.

I got accused the other night. :D

I killed a guys Yak with a Zero, not once, but twice. Both times I cut him off and instead of evading and diving to build speed to outdistance me, he turned.....bad move on his part. :)

Interesting, I have flown on his side since I started playing a year and a half ago and he ususally doesnt ***** about anything. I wouldnt worry about it. And besides, I blame him for flying the Lancaster/coffin in the first place.:aok

When people complain about something you did, that just means you did your job, when they don't complain is when you need to worry. Thats what is always said about my job in Law Enforcement. If you've been around long enough, your bound to have someone want to cry to Skuzzy about your tactics. I never read it on 200 because I never have it tuned, nothing but a channel for the stick your thumb in your mouth, blow hard, and see who can buff their chest out the furthest, then slap em in the face with a white glove and challenge them to the DA for rights to post the 'I powned (enter name here)" thread on the BBS......I'm going to start calling it the Puffer Channel...

Dittos Sooner...

If you fly lancs you can BANK on ending up in the tower...

LANCASTER:
Climbs like Kristy Alley at Jenny Craig
Turns like a U.P. locomotive on a straight strech of track
Burns like the sun if you SEE a hostile fighter
Is armed with popguns

But is DOES have a good bombload

If you fly Lancs you might as well drive a Ford Pinto (full of gas) in a demolition derby!!

:lol :rolleyes:

LTAR mac is a good guy and I agree that he was probably scratching his head as to how an unseen guy could get kills on him. The sharp turn that killed his drone was the likely "trigger"

He was probably mad his little "turnthe bombers quick so the guy will run into my drones thingy" didnt work for him.  Most of the bomber dorks I see doing this are just lamer dweeb dorks trying to game the game somehow, like they don't have enough guns to kill in the first place.  Anyone getting mad about being shot down in bombers should be slapped with their own twitistic lamergamer dweeebi/dorkiness!:aok

The Lancaster turns quite well at altitude.  I've out-flown many fighters in it at alts over 25K where they can't get enough air over the wings to manouver with it.

I've also killed several fighters with the Lanc's guns.

The secret to the Lanc's success is altitude.  Where a lot of fighters begin to struggle, the Lanc is flying strong.  Flying Lancs low is suicide.

I agree, probly didn't realize your were doing 600mph in 262.  Never had any probs with LTARMAC

That's actually true of some fighters' in this game too, BE. The 262 is actually best at altitude, as is the Ta-152, the Spit XIV, P-47N, and a few others.
