Here is my top 5 most frustrating situations playing this game. I know most of you can agree, but feel free to add your experiences.
#5) Being 10k from a cv and the auto puffy ack gives you a pilot wound.
#4) Flying bombing missions, assigning targets..and right after your drop, you see someone missed their target and hit yours
#3) You wanna take a base ninja style by shelling the town with the cruiser, then half way into it, someone insists on waking that Field up
#2) that building that pops just as your troops are running
And the #1 spot has to be:
Finally got a good fight, 800...600..400 getting ready to shoot...then a huge text window pops onto your screen. "987684766294 wishes to join you".
-
5-2) Getting Discoed while flying a 262 when perk multiplier is below 1
1) Starting a 262 on a remote AF when suddenly the "War won by xxx" popup appears and the formerly friendly remote AF becomes hostile while still rolling on runway (Happened at least once... :furious )
-
Being in a great fight, fighting hard to get a good guns solution..... pull the trigger on your 30mm just in time for some banana to fly across your guns from underneath trying to 'save you' from the enemy con and taking the full 30mm damage from killshooter.
:furious
-

Along that same line: You just touch down on the runway, trying to land a number of kills. You get the "War won by xxx" message and the ack, from what just seconds ago was your field, opens up and shoots you to pieces.

Getting ganged by multiple 163's and 262's while your in a 32 b24 bomber mission.

Try .showjoin 0. It moves those to the text buffer.
-
Clicking on a thread that's locked and has the Title of "Nothing to see here, move along" and .........there's nothing to see there. :cry I miss all the good stuff then. :lol
-
Get one shot by a spit1 while taking off at a capped field in an IL2.
-
Taking off in a 262 and being lazy and not checking how much fuel you took and run out when your over near an enemy field and get a capture.

:rofl :rofl :rofl on #1
Don't know if I can name 5.
5) You're fighting 3 or more bad guys and you watch your so called wingies fly away.
4) You try to sneak up 9s
3) Some Sorry Sap kills your last troop at the map room
2) Some orator gets on 200 and preaches
1) you get a pilot wound in a GV. (had this happen)
-
Coming in for a landing in a 262 with 1/2 a wing, 40 feet from the runway, all smoothed out, and the 262 flops over on you while you're about to land.
-
Making it back to base all beat up with plenty of kills but have had to many blackouts due to pilot wounds. Just as you touch down your back into another one and waiting for the end sortie button to appear before it's to late.......then POP! your dead.
Pilot wound blackouts in general while landing.
#1 worst thing
It's taken you 15-20 min to get in position and EVERYONE is counting on you to drop troops. Instead you resupply the enemy vehicles.
First comes :confused: confused, then :uhoh oh SHt then the embarrassment of it all :o (somebody just shoot me :pray) :rolleyes:
-
happened to me last night.......enjoying a prolonged and heated dog fight...going toe to toe...hoping no other planes from either side interfered ....working hard and finally getting the kill......and then flying into his wreckage and dying.
-
5.Trying to shoot someone down and they warp as soon as you get a shot, or if they're 2.0K off your six and warp 400 off and kill you.
4. Having to stay 4.0K away from every single con because they don't want to come out of the cv ack (but you can't get too far away or cv ack is 100% accurate!)
3. Watching as the lone 190 (or La or Pony) dives through 20 friendlies just to vulch the field with all ack still up and radar.
2. Loosing a wing to cv ack that you can barley see on the horizon while you're finally in a good 1 on 1 fight.
1. Watch 7-10 enemy La-7's, Spit 16's and Pony-D's get on your six when there are 10-15 other targets (and many of them closer or lower)
-
yup, i agree on #1... i was in my Fm-2... was 400 out.... pull the trigger... then BOOM! 756485485748 wants to join you..... then i messaged him and said "zip code, nvr freakin send me a join invite again!" and idk if he knew how to respond lol, cause i nvr got 1
-BigBOBCH
-
You forget to squelch drdeath :D
-
5:Flying 20 min NOE over trees, houses, hills and valleys to be killed on the first hit from town ack
4:15k one shot puffy ack
3:Both planes moving at 500 mph, colliding and the other guy flies away while you wonder why your wing has decided to go solo
2:400 out from enemy when he warps 1000 in front, then 200 behind you for the perfect shot
1:Upping any perked plane to only be broadsided by the convoy crossing the runway.
-
This thread is so pessimistic. Let's take a minute to look at the GOOD things:
5. Having my gallant countryman blow past three guys on my 6 to clear my 12, thus saving me untold ammo;
4. Having my gallant countryman assist me by being oh so noble enough to blow his 10k of alt to save me from the sheer terror of a 1v1 on the deck, when there are three inbound cons at 8k;
3. Having the two other gallant countrymen of mine follow the guy from point #4 down to also assist me, thus also ignoring the three inbound cons at 8k. (These guys are really thoughtful);
2. A 5th bandit being kind enough to grant me a quick death so I don't have to suffer being slowly hacked to death by his 4 other buddies; and
1. The way 90% of the people who complain in the furball area about wanting a good fight will never take you up on an offer to go to a private field in the DA. If it wasn't for their selfless action, I would not have an entire text bar of drama filled whining to brighten my otherwise dull and boring climbouts.
:salute to you all!

Getting ganged by multiple 163's and 262's while your in a 32 b24 bomber mission.
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii275/zoozoo13/ohnoez1.jpg)
was great HQ raid last evening at our HQ, i never seen so many B24s!
-
......and then flying into his wreckage and dying.
Getting pilot shot and not getting to see the above :D
-
After dealing with all the ho'ers, vulchers, gangers, and runners you finally find a good 1v1 out in the bumb f**k of nowhere, and after a few minutes of intense stick twisting (no homo), you out of the corner of your eye a lone 51, la, 190 (or other plane of your choice) closing rapidly.
6.0k...
5.5k...
5.0k...
You guys can guess the rest... :rolleyes:
-
I can think of more then 5, more like 15 lol
Having good 1vs1 only to be picked
Getting Pilot Wound from puff ack
Blacking out when landing
Getting the “you have ditched” messenge when only matter of feet from concrete
Having kills only have an disconnection.
Having the virus scanner start and closes down my game while I am in middle of fight.
Rubber bullets
Bulletproof planes
Screen hiccups
AP bouncing off tanks
Getting killed by one hit wonders (303s, .50s, cannon rounds)
Getting hit by resupply trucks
Knights just fur balling while Bishop and/or Rooks roll our bases
Number 1: Enemy plane collides with me but only I get the blame and he keeps on flying.
-
5) Listening to fellow Bishops telling us that we suck when we're outnumbered 2:1 by rook & Knit.
4) Getting picked by a 190.
3) Getting picked by a 190 while IN a 190
2) Gettting check-6'd by some noob multiple times so he can steal your kill.
AND....
1) Hearing a super squeaker tell me what to do.
(not talking about AKJrDogg or Zooscrew, some 2 weeker who got a hold of a mic and started telling you what to do) :aok
-
5. cannot get a connection to the BBS
4. cannot get a stable connection to the game servers
3. manage to get a stable connection but Bish are down to 12 bases and are outnumbered 3:1
2. run out of coke to mix with the bourbon
1. run out of bourbon
-
5. When you up the perfect plane to buff hunt.....find a set of buffs...perfect angle on them to takem out....only to be killed 2k out by 999000! :furious
4. When you have the perfect vulch goin on in your chog or A8 with 10 plus kills and the vh pops and 237 Ltars pop out in there weeble wobbles. :mad:
3. When your sittin at the map room with your m3...get it confirmed by several people that the town is down....and at the last second somebody says nope...church is still up. :cry
2. When you take a half hour plus to get your buffs up to 25k only to run into someone at 35k take them out in seconds. :t
1. When you think you've had the best night of flyin in your life...only to wake up the next mornin and find out that you were so wasted you didn't realize it took 74 sorties to get those 3 kills. :huh
-
Flying a sector and half back to your CV with a pilot wound and half a wing missing, only for a squeaker to decide to spell out 'boobies' with its course as you're 500' off the deck.

3. A good fight dying

login, constantly run into a couple of no talent tards named celnikr and JETBLST who spend the eveing trying to ram me wiht no thought of actually fighting, in spite of the vast number superiority.
-
drooling on landing 10+ kill sorti ...and just as ya touch down on the runway ya see one of the landing gear has been shot off and ya flip and slide off the runway ....
Forcing someone to rearend ya on the furball hiway ..and you get all the damage and they fly away unscathed.
the twn is finally dwn ,base capped by 15+ guys ... it took ya 75 miles to get there in a goon ...and one nme gets up and bee-lines to ya and bang ur dead .
-
I agree with allot of these postings.
Here is two I did not see:
1) Having a great Tank battle spoiled because of the person you killed in a tank 10 times gets mad and ups a set of Lancs to kill everyone.
2) Having a great Tank battle spoiled because someone decided to take one of the TT Bases.
-

That always makes that person look like a total avacado and all you can do is laugh at them.
Someone did it to me twice lastnight.
Killed him with a Wirble Wobble, he comes back with a bomb. I start landing kills in fighters... he comes back in a Wirble, which I found out only when I killed his Wirble with a Sherman.
He comes back, again, with bombs. :lol
It gave me a laugh. You know you're doing well if someone has to go out of their way to grief you. :aok

LOL.
A close second, of course, is when you're on takeoff roll with your heavy -4 or -C Hog from said carrier.
-
I take control of the CV if I'm trying to land damaged or I get a squadie to do it.
Though I'll usually just take command and not change the course at all If it's not currently involved in getting to a fight I'll turn it to suit my landing approach, too.
Provided you're not screwing everyone else around for your own slight personal gain, I think it's a good way to help your chances. :lol

Ahh, you've had the pleasure of meeting Lusche, I see. :lol

When you take 20 mins to climb up to 25k and chase some buffs across the map just to see that player bail when you're getting in icon range. :frown:

Here is the inverse to that one. (Edit: I see now that the snail beat me to it, lol, anyhoo...) Spend time in a 262 (or any other plane but especially an expensive one like the 262) buff hunting, finally finding some juicy buffs, getting set up, diving in, light one up, pull up and around for another pass and 30 seconds after I have fully cleared them and they are no longer firing, bullets rake my plane due to lag usually resulting in a fuel leak, pilot wound, engine oil hits or the removal of my vertical stabilizer. Love that. It’s my favorite.
Also enjoy getting hit by the reindeer trucks while trying to land with kills…. or without kills for that matter.

too true :devil
Have a long fight and finally knock the wing off your opponent only to have a "Friendly" finish him off as he flops.
You’re locked in a huge furball with your SA on overdrive, throwing check sixes to every friendly when you see tracers fly overhead. When you look back you see an LA7
firing at you and a friendly shooting at him....then you die.
You take off a cv in a heavy f4u, climb for 15mins only to have to ditch your ord right before drop because of an La7.
You get jumped and successfully evade a chog, a ponyD and a spit16 only to be hoed by a La7 flown by 876354864784...
You have your first kill sitting perfectly in your sights... pull the trigger and realize you forgot to switch back to your tater from your DT.

Sounds like you hate La7s.
I share that hate with Spit XVIs.
-
7K over an enemy vehicle hanger with 8 rockets and 2 1ks in a D-Hog, nose over, launch rockets, and turn on autopilot instead of switching to bombs because you just recently remapped that hat switch.
4 times just this past weekend! lol

-
i always hated no mater what plane i was in or how many kills you had comin in for a landing and then getting vulched about to tower out. thats soo dick. ( had that happen with 10 kills b4)
but i think that about about the war being won takin off in a 262 and the field changes back. that would suck but is soo funny.

Discos and Assists. I fixed the disco problem with a router config change and fixed the assists by flying the big gun yak. :t
So now everything is sweet. :D
