Ok, so through my 2 1/2 year career as an Aces High player (started in April of '06) I have seen a lot of the different types of players in the game. I'll just list them and see if you agree/disagree, think I forgot something etc.
1. Ranker
He/she will do anything for his name to be up in lights on the Aces High webpage. They pick there fights (usually BnZ type players), and usually milk run empty fields/undefended strat targets etc. Many people don't like the way this player plays and think its silly.
Enemies:
All groups.
2. The Fighter
He/she will do anything for a fight, whether it be a duel, furball fight etc etc. Most do not care for rank, and most will switch sides looking for a good fight. They sometimes start fights and sometime pick there fights. Many of the most talented and respected players fall into this category.
Enemies:
Warmonger, Armchair General and Ranker.
3. The Bomber
He/she flies almost purely Bomber/Attack aircraft. Level bombing, dive bombing etc. Destroying things is the name of the game for them. Many extremely talented and respected players occupy this group.
Enemies:
Fighter (more of a rivalry), Ranker, and Armchair General.
4. The Gv'er
He/she almost purely fights in tanks. Wether it be a tank fight, spawn camp, destroying a town etc etc, they do it all. The furball normally doesn't matter to them. Once again, many talented and respected players fall into this group.
Enemies:
The Bomber (more of a rivalry), Ranker, Armchair General.
5. The "I wanna have fun" guy
These players do anything to have fun. They normally come home from work/school and just want to get away from life for an hour or two. They normally log on and will do whatever is needed (pork a base, bring in troops, join a mission etc etc). Many players, from all groups, fall into this.
Enemies:
None.
6. Warmonger
Most of these types are strictly one sided and are the "I wanna win the war" type of guys/gals. Highly respected by many players on there country. They usually lead missions, pork bases, and try to capture fields. Most are very open to idea's.
Enemies:
Armchair General, Ranker, Fighter.
7. Armchair General
This is a Warmonger, taken to the extreme. This type sits in the tower/hanger/O'club etc. and order players around, wether it be to pork a base or capture one, they simply will not do anything, which is the big difference between a Warmonger and a Armchair General.
Enemies:
All groups.
8. The New guy
Usually on his/her 2 week trial, many will ask question after question regarding the game. Many other players dislike them/tired of them after a short while. Everybody started out this way, wether it be in this game or another.
Enemies:
None.
9. The "Jerk"
These types are split into 3 sub-groups: The cocky player (who does anything to show off his skills), The "piss anyone off" player (who usually targets new guys and so on), and types that fit into both. Disliked greatly by most other groups, these types usually fit into the "Ranker" group as well.
Enemies:
Everyone but the Ranker.
Does this seem relatively accurate?
-
10. The l337 H4xx0r
He will hack until banned, then hack another account, then get banned, then hack, then.. oh why do I even bother.
-
I'm a Fighter :aok
(I started in April of 06 too! :O )
-
<----not talented enough
-
I have been all of the above mentioned style of players at some point of my three years of playing. Where I will be this time next year?
-
Didn't I make this thread in 2002 after a few months flying? :lol (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,52207.0.html)
-
I feel some players drift between these categories depending on the day.
I have days when rank really starts to matter for me, then days when I can up from a vulched field 10 times and get killed just as many without it bothering me.
-
I'm a fighter who likes to have fun, but is usually a jerk and pissess off the ranker (pacerr).

Good start subway, but I believe there's even more types than what you list here.

I think most have been one of these types on any given day! ;)

I still dont have power. I live close enough to Starbucks to get their wifi with my laptop!
Days with out power = 12

What style are you, Subway?
-
What style are you, Subway?
:noid
-
Nice list, Subway. I would like to add 1...
The Patriot. This is a sub category of warmonger. This guy is overly proud of never having flown for any other country, and equally proud to broadcast it over and over so that all can bask in his pure light. He usually can also be heard berating the other countries for their cheating gamer tactics(which of course every country does).
-
I like the character classes but I couldn't help but notice that Paladin, Wizard and Necromancer were absent :rofl
Possibly add a 10th class to round it to a nice pretty number:
The "Geezer" class. You might fit into this class if you are a walking (well, maybe sitting) encyclopedia of WWII aviation/AH knowledge because you've played since before dinosaurs roamed the earth and Chuck Norris had hair. Geezers relish in pointing out the historical inaccuracies of AH as well as the futility of debating their pontificating greatness. For these gents AH has become a more social (as opposed to an arcade) pastime which usually means they stick to one country and flirt with becoming Warmongers or worse. What he lacks in reflexes the Geezer makes up for with tactics or time-tested excuses such as that bladder problem or realizing Wheel of Fortune just came on...
Enemies: Jerk
Whadya think?
-
Hehe, let me add the realism type: people who fly as if it's the real thing. They happily land sorties with zero kills, fly with wingmen, and climb to 15k before any engagement. They don't like field capture, furballers, or anything that frequently leads to death. Their enemies include just about everyone except for the gv'ers, who they never see. :aok
-
That's most likely my category :aok though I like furballers, they're always hanging out at 50ft MSL. :devil I like field captures too because winning is more fun and I almost never fly with a wingie because having one would mean someone else shares the same distaste for dying while having the patience/restraint to just wait 3 seconds for cognitive functions before diving down to join the 8 friendlies chasing that unfortunate D3A and that's not something you're going to see very often! :cry (was that a run-on sentence I just saw?)
Despite the above "Realism" is the closest I've seen to yours truly
-
Where's the dweeb category? I'm missing.
-
I believe I have my own category: "Hey! I needed that wing!"
I believe this is a sub category of the just having fun group
-
The Mahogany Spitfire Pilot
Subscribers that sit behind their desk and do not actually fly. These people rarely venture into the game, when they do they tend to do little flying and constantly correct everything on channels 2 and 200. Even though they do little flying, they criticise the flying styles of the other players and try to give advice on things they know little about. They take great pride in correcting historical inaccuracies in the game and the grammar of other subscribers. Whilst not in game, these people spend most of their time on the BBS and can get quite animated during debates.
-
I'm most of those... sometimes in the same day! :uhoh
-
Think you have to add the "Old Vet" who has been around for years, and mostly enjoys BS'n with his buddys on squad vox, still likes to dogfight, sink a CV, Pork some ord and capture fields here an there. Doesnt really care if his side is gettin whooped on, or winning, but does make an effort to help out
-
Not sure where I fit in there - think the closest would be the sub category Corky describes *Hey, I needed that wing*...lol.....as I seem to be finding myself wingless one way or another. That said, I will go and start a fight and hope my squaddies/countrymen come over n help out :D :D
Oh, and i'll pick, ho, gang, vulch, bomb, bail, run etc etc etc...........so ner...... :lol
<S>
Wurzel
-
i play to have fun screw the rest
-
I'll gladly fall under the realism type gavagai :D. Only one thing though, my squadron specializes in Close Air Support so we frequently run into Gv's which we gladly send back to the tower shortly. :devil
-
There is also those that like to put everyone else into catagorys :D
-
I have to be the jerk, I generally will pick on ranker pilots and be at 15k waiting to pounce them knowingly a good 5k above them just
so they have no room for error, typically they are flying tempest/262's no less
-
<= is in the often plummeting in flames category :O

Stang, I think you fall into the "How the hell did he do that?" category....

Correct me if I'm wrong,....but don't most of us geezers run off when jepordy comes on? not- wheel of fortune??? Cry'n out loud, have some :uhoh respect.

1. Ranker
He/she will do anything for his name to be up in lights on the Aces High webpage. They pick there fights (usually BnZ type players), and usually milk run empty fields/undefended strat targets etc. Many people don't like the way this player plays and think its silly. Sub Cat...wanna be...usually in top ten but hasn't quite got it. Thinks he's the dogs bollocks because he's attended a few well orchestrated vulches / pick fests. Doesn't get his hands dirty because he's in "fighter mode". Actual skill level ...medico. Can be "armchair" / "jerk"
Enemies:
All groups.
2. The Fighter
He/she will do anything for a fight, whether it be a duel, furball fight etc etc. Most do not care for rank, and most will switch sides looking for a good fight. They sometimes start fights and sometime pick there fights. Many of the most talented and respected players fall into this category. Sub Cat.. The biggest and loudest moaning whingers ever to bless Aces High. Perpencity to think of themselves as the dogs bollocks because they can club a baby seal. Can be a fun player / jerk
Enemies:
Warmonger, Armchair General and Ranker.
3. The Bomber
He/she flies almost purely Bomber/Attack aircraft. Level bombing, dive bombing etc. Destroying things is the name of the game for them. Many extremely talented and respected players occupy this group. Sub Cat Biggest bunch of skilles suiciding arses ever to bless Aces High....."if only there were power up to attach more drones". Can be fun player / jerk / armchair
Enemies:
Fighter (more of a rivalry), Ranker, and Armchair General.
4. The Gv'er
He/she almost purely fights in tanks. Wether it be a tank fight, spawn camp, destroying a town etc etc, they do it all. The furball normally doesn't matter to them. Once again, many talented and respected players fall into this group. Sub Cat....Can't hack it in the air so roll around in the mud playing Aces Low. Spend an hour at a spawn camp for 3 kills. Will sit on a V-base waiting for the enemy tanks to get in range. Won't "meet" the enemy. When enemy is around they go catatonic. "Advance" ...whats that? Best means of defence / revenge = low level Lancaster's. Can be fun player / suicide bomber
Enemies:
The Bomber (more of a rivalry), Ranker, Armchair General.
5. The "I wanna have fun" guy
These players do anything to have fun. They normally come home from work/school and just want to get away from life for an hour or two. They normally log on and will do whatever is needed (pork a base, bring in troops, join a mission etc etc). Many players, from all groups, fall into this. Sub Cat.... The moving perk points waiting to happen and whats more they know it. One on ones ....never. Usually 4 of the 5 guys chacing that lone bandit. Their the guys you see coming the wrong way when your advancing. Baby seals, suicide porkers and the vast majority of runners. Can be jerks.
Enemies:
None.
6. Warmonger
Most of these types are strictly one sided and are the "I wanna win the war" type of guys/gals. Highly respected by many players on there country. They usually lead missions, pork bases, and try to capture fields. Most are very open to idea's.Sub Cat... Generally go about things the hard way. Make big deals about 1 strat objective on a base rather than seeing 10 troopers make the map room. "Cap"...whats that? Can be armchair / jerks
Enemies:
Armchair General, Ranker, Fighter.
7. Armchair General
This is a Warmonger, taken to the extreme. This type sits in the tower/hanger/O'club etc. and order players around, wether it be to pork a base or capture one, they simply will not do anything, which is the big difference between a Warmonger and a Armchair General. Sub cat ....Lack the skills to do it themselves. Barking orders even to those not in their immediate fight. Often lack the brain power to take advantage of screaming obvious opportunity or the best tactical offence. Can be jerks
Enemies:
All groups.
8. The New guy
Usually on his/her 2 week trial, many will ask question after question regarding the game. Many other players dislike them/tired of them after a short while. Everybody started out this way, wether it be in this game or another.Sub cat... the 1 in a 100 who has actually read and taken notes from the help file. Baby seals but could be anything in a few months
Enemies:
None.
9. The "Jerk"
These types are split into 3 sub-groups: The cocky player (who does anything to show off his skills), The "piss anyone off" player (who usually targets new guys and so on), and types that fit into both. Disliked greatly by most other groups, these types usually fit into the "Ranker" group as well. Sub cat...none. A jerks a jerk.
Enemies:
Everyone but the Ranker.
Does this seem relatively accurate?Sub Sub Cat Furballers and Strat players
-
So lynx, what your saying there is that pretty much every player in AHII, belongs in pretty much every catagory? :noid
At the end of the day we are all in the same catagory and there is only one: As the book says, "We art dweebs"...... :salute
-
I'd say "Dweebs" is the super category, kind of like Eukaryota.
-
<-- Unplanned Skydiver Category :uhoh
or alternately
<-- Buff-Assisted Long Range Glider Pilot Category :aok
-
What style are you, Subway?
Probably a Warmonger. I lead missions a lot, and i"m pretty much strictly Knight (sometimes the CH go to bishops to hook up with Unforgiven). Maybe a tad bit of a Fighter and Bomber as well.
-
Jeeeezzz Gavagai.....what the hell are you doing to just spout off a word like that??!!! I had to look that dang thang up. Stick to simple words like"stuff"...and "things"..... and "do-hickeys". I'm really not even sure about the spelling of that. :D
-
You missed:
The Stinker: This is generally, but not always, a newer player or one without a life outside the game. They can easily put in 200-400 hours per month and are aptly named for their hygine habits. Hey, you have to eat and sleep too. Who's got time for hygine?
The Retread: This player just doesn't know when to give up. They are the ones who keep trying to up from a vulched field or who keep flying back into the hoard even though they havent been successful in the last 15 attempts. Their K/D and K/S are inevitably both 0.01. The airforce has given up on these guys so they just retread them and send them back out.
The Gemini: This is the player that has two accounts for the sole purpose of score padding or perk farming. While one looks like an unbelievable ace, their Gemini twin looks worse than a n00b. It is true that opposites attract as one twin is usually in high ENY fighters while the other is in bombers. If only deaths per hour counted for something.
The 007: This is the player who thinks there is an actual threat to them if they get caught spying. Their hearts race as they cross sides to hatch their devious plans, trying to remain undercover and not get caught. While they feel a little like a cartoon James Bond, the reality is that n0 0ne else cares.
The Braveheart: These are the players who sneak around stealing undefended bases. Like the 007, their hearts get all racey as they near the completion of their sworn duties. Just the anticipation that an opposing player might enter the arena causes them to sweat. And when the job is done they share a hearty round of WTG's while their hearts slow back to normal.
I'm sure there's others.
-
i would like for you to prove your theory about GVers. i do love a good gv fight and i happen to be fairly good at gvs. i also just wanna have fun but i know i dont run to ack nor do i have to have the numbers to be able to fight someone, so i would like to see you prove me to be one of the ones you mentioned.
-
You guys all missed one.
The Forum Freak
This is the guy, who for reasons only known by his psychoanalyst and God, falsely believes that anyone cares about anything he has to say. This individual usually considers himself to be the fountain and sole dispenser of common sense, intellectual knowledge, extraordinary human insight and profound wisdom. This person gauges success by how many days it takes him to go from Zinc member to Gold or Platinum. Can be identified by the lack of a dictionary or grammatical text anywhere in sight, along with a complete inability to find the 'Spell Check' button. Is patently afraid of punctuation. Constantly searches the player score data for obscure factotums and meaningless justifications, but has never heard of a 'subject' or 'topic' search in the forum archives.
Enemies: none (Very few, if anyone, pays any real attention to them. Certainly not enough to scrape up the minuscule amount of emotional energy needed to even be angry or concerned about this individual, let alone listen to them.)
-
I would class my self as "the old vet" I have been playing this DAMN game since beta :( yes beta. I was at the first three conventions and loved meeting the "guys" you fly against and with. Dale, Doug, John, Roy, know me all too well. I know Yankee and Ronnie as well. I know I still suck at this game as most of you know. I do like our squad and have fun dieing....well not really its just what happens to me. ALOT. I have found out that no matter what plane I'm in there is always a faster, quicker turning aircraft with Very accurate guns. See you all in the Sky's....at least for a short time.
Some times you just have to say "F@ck the Ranger BooBoo" :salute
-
Also forgotten are:
The Ankle Humper-A guy who thinks that by hanging onto a good players ankle and telling them how awesome they are, that it will eventually impart some modicum of skill to them. :rolleyes:
The Silent Elitist-Apparently I fall into this category. (Still trying to figure this one out Skyrock LOL) :huh
The Chameleon-This person changes their names on the BBS and in game like underwear, just about everyday. :O

The Admiral
Loves the beginning of a tour so he can command the CVs with no fear of anyone taking it from him. Generally parks cvs over PT spawns, infront of a shore battery or directly off shore of a field with ord still up. They never turn CVs when buffs are inbound. They do this will sitting in 5"ers failing miserably to kill the enemy. Frequently moves somewhere else on the map but does not relieve command so CV quickly dies. When the numbers in the arenas are down he will use waypoints to spell out obscenities.
Enemy
Rankers (anyone with a rank lover than 2000, cause they can usually take the CV from them)
Foes
Squeakers (There's another category)

(Of course we all care what everyone else has to say! :uhoh)
-
<<<<<<< Retread! :rock
-
The Seeker of Realism
This pilot tends to be a history buff and flies the planes he liked reading about in histories, even if they are not the most competitive. He doesn't care all that much about score or ranking but does tend to fly in a manner as if death mattered, will try his best to get back to a base to land after flights (regardless of distance to the nearest base or whether or not he has kills to land), may bail out of a crashing plane (even though it makes no difference to K/D or score), etc. He is in support of most enhancements to realism in the way aircraft operate or behave and tends to fly in AH scenarios.

Thought some of you might get a kick out of this. It is from waaaaaaay back... I dont recall who the original writer was but it is right on target IMHO :cool: Enjoy

Air Warrior is like the Empire State building. And Air Warriors are like monkeys.
When ya first start you're a little, organ-grinder size monkey standing on the street outside. Looking up you see a building swarming with hostile monkeys of all different shapes and sizes. Monkeys are born to climb, and there ain't no Fay Wrays standing on the street, so instinct takes over and soon you're jousting for a handhold and making yer way up the wall.
Some are Fast Monkeys. A bit of natural ability combined with an in depth knowledge of climbing. They become familiar with the cracks and crevices of the particular building and begin to apply their knowledge within those parameters. Soon they are climbing, dodging, or scrambling right over some of the bigger monkeys and snatching bananas from the slower ones, growing bigger.
Others are Scrappy Monkeys. These monkeys spend extra time practicing. They ask lots of questions and live for the chance to go toe to toe with the bigger monkeys. They punch, kick, bite, claw, and spit at the monkeys above them. Scarred, bloody, and with big ol'chunks of fur ripped out they monkey butts they keep hammering. Occasionally they land a good blow, right in the monkey 'nards, and topple a bigger monkey. This inspires them to fight even harder. Soon they learn where to hit and when to duck. They begin to take their share of bananas.
Then there's the Hungry Monkeys. "Mo'nanas!, mo'nanas!" they chant as they cling to the wall from 6:01pm til 7:59 am. Calculating that mo'nanas go to the monkeys with mo hangtime they know that if they hang long enough they will get mo then their share of the 'nanas. Of course they need deep pockets to sustain this frenzy, can't eat all them 'nanas at once, and are prone to the dreaded "Banana Split". They must be very careful, lest they wind up another furry puddle of monkey guts in some alley off 34th street.
Also, ya got yer Techno Monkeys. Bumpy FrankenSchwanz in each paw, electrode catheters up their tails, anti-lock stainless steel vine swingers attached to their feet, gold plated groin clamps feeding g-inducing jugular valves hooked into the fastest system available, with the biggest monitor, tuned to peak performance and cranking out thru a megagigawatt, 3D, multi-usual Krakatoa Banana Blaster, these monkeys spend alot of time diddlin with their gadgets and tweaking their way up the wall.
And, we got MacGyver Monkeys. Riding systems that time forgot with nothing more than a handful of Froot Loops and a pile of bat guano they use every trick in the book, and plenty that ain't, to squirm their way heavenward. Always heavy, uncovering obscure and hidden bananas, they invent their way along using every micro-ounce of every banana that they managed to ensnare, even to the point of using the peels for clothing and shelter.
Advancing their altitudinous aspirations, AW Monkeys invariably encounter the various denizens of the virtual Jungle.
Most encounter the Hurler Monkeys first. Kinda like chimps, these sociable chaps gather in large communal halls, spending their time practicing monkey yells and poking each other in the navel. Once in awhile they venture out for a climb but are much happier chillin' with their mates on the middle floors, flingin' monkey turds and grinnin' at all what pass by.
Out on the wall a common first encounter is with a Sumo Monkey. These are the veteran Hungry Monkeys. They've been there twice, done that backwards. All the nonessential flotsam has been skimmed and the essence of the climb congealed to a Zen like "See monkey, knock monkey down" philosophy. When ya hear "Monkey X took my 'nanas 16 times in a row one day", Monkey X is most likely a Sumo.
No avoiding it, eventually every climber crosses ledges with Tribal monkeys. Wearing the skins of dead monkeys, gathering in private branches painted in various warlike colors, they belch, fart, thump 'n headbutt their way around looking for others to belch, fart, thump 'n headbutt with. An astute climber can get a good belly full a slightly bruised 'nanas by finding an area where 2 or more groups of tribal monkeys have been thump 'n headbuttin'.
Look way up there, see that fuzzy li'l dot? That there's a Vulcher Monkey. High above the crowd, with a 10k alt advantage on next week, they float. Looking for the unsuspecting or hurtin climber, sporting k/ds over 8000 and k/ss round .0125, their motto is, "where there's smoke...we fire! (but only after the monkey what caused the smoke has been kilt first.)"
Legend has it that in the penthouses are the Wrinkled Monkeys. Rarely climbing, (hey yer in the penthouse, why climb more?) they only venture out under dark glasses. They have the rare and exotic 'nanas. Highly sought but useless to but a few climbers that are twisted enough to understand their full meaning, the Wrinks are content to live on past glory. They enjoy tossing an occasional 'nana out the window just to see how many climbers fall off trying to grab it.
AND, of course, The Kong Monkeys. At the peak of prosperity, clinging to the radio tower, chest pounding, Fay grabbin', teeth gnashing, flicking planes away as tho they were insects, we find the Kings. Keelin', scorin', the anchors of their respective tribal units, when a climber sees a Kong Monkey on the wall he heads for another country. Whole tribal units have been de-'nana-ed by single Kong Monkeys.
Just when Joe Average Monkey thinks he's seen everything, along comes a Kong Monkey and gives that girl a twirl and makes her whole wurl swirl. Clashes between Kongs can sometimes alter the entire shape of the wall, cause the climb to take a whole nuther direction, provide lotsa ammo for the Hurlers...
NOW FIGHT LIKE APES
Later,

Chill:
Anyone who is just in the game for the sake of being in the game. They fly planes, do whatever they feel like, they make their own opinions about players by actually flying with them instead of crying because they take your base. (except rankers)
Enemies: No one.

Additionally, these types of people are usually greatly misinformed, and spread this misinformation without fathoming they could be wrong, it is a clown-like existence.

Falls under "Grognard".

Heh! A classic -- thanks for posting that. I think it was written by Holmes.

i would like for you to prove your theory about GVers. i do love a good gv fight and i happen to be fairly good at gvs. i also just wanna have fun but i know i dont run to ack nor do i have to have the numbers to be able to fight someone, so i would like to see you prove me to be one of the ones you mentioned.
What a curios request! Do you not know what type of GV player you are. To UNDERSTAND my somewhat cynical take on the Sub categories, I recommend you roll film of your next GV exploit. View the film and see how many keep moving up. Unless your one of those catatonic Gv'ers. Oh, and as for the request I don't have to prove anything to you. You have to prove it to yourself.
Or
Question.... Is it better to have your V-base encircled by enemy tanks or is it best to push them back and contain them at the spawn ?
Quote from Stodd
So lynx I assume you belong to the category?
If I thought you was anywhere near right I'd put me hands up for it but correcting your overwhelming powers of deduction is meaningless....so....whatever :rolleyes:

Anyone who is just in the game for the sake of being in the game. They fly planes, do whatever they feel like, they make their own opinions about players by actually flying with them instead of crying because they take your base. (except rankers)
Enemies: Skyrock
Fixed. :lol

Amusing, egos in a computer game :rofl

Didn't I make this thread in 2002 after a few months flying? :lol (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,52207.0.html)
Shall I post....
j/k relax!
I saw alot of Fat Drunk Bastards (AHII Squad) in that thread

I'm a cross between the Fighter & the "I wanna have fun" guy.

I have to be the jerk, I generally will pick on ranker pilots and be at 15k waiting to pounce them knowingly a good 5k above them just
so they have no room for error, typically they are flying tempest/262's no less
I would consider this to be more of a "Headhunter" type... I also will hunt for the ranker pilots on occasion... :rock

You'll be waiting awhile. I'm avoiding most of these recent "troll'ish" threads like the plague... ;) Although I do find this particular one interesting from a psychological point of view, anything I write would end up just being "fuel for the fire" I'm afraid... :aok

Ok, so through my 2 1/2 year career as an Aces High player (started in April of '06) I have seen a lot of the different types of players in the game. I'll just list them and see if you agree/disagree, think I forgot something etc.
1. Ranker
He/she will do anything for his name to be up in lights on the Aces High webpage. They pick there fights (usually BnZ type players), and usually milk run empty fields/undefended strat targets etc. Many people don't like the way this player plays and think its silly.
Enemies:
All groups.
2. The Fighter
He/she will do anything for a fight, whether it be a duel, furball fight etc etc. Most do not care for rank, and most will switch sides looking for a good fight. They sometimes start fights and sometime pick there fights. Many of the most talented and respected players fall into this category.
Enemies:
Warmonger, Armchair General and Ranker.
3. The Bomber
He/she flies almost purely Bomber/Attack aircraft. Level bombing, dive bombing etc. Destroying things is the name of the game for them. Many extremely talented and respected players occupy this group.
Enemies:
Fighter (more of a rivalry), Ranker, and Armchair General.
4. The Gv'er
He/she almost purely fights in tanks. Wether it be a tank fight, spawn camp, destroying a town etc etc, they do it all. The furball normally doesn't matter to them. Once again, many talented and respected players fall into this group.
Enemies:
The Bomber (more of a rivalry), Ranker, Armchair General.
5. The "I wanna have fun" guy
These players do anything to have fun. They normally come home from work/school and just want to get away from life for an hour or two. They normally log on and will do whatever is needed (pork a base, bring in troops, join a mission etc etc). Many players, from all groups, fall into this.
Enemies:
None.
6. Warmonger
Most of these types are strictly one sided and are the "I wanna win the war" type of guys/gals. Highly respected by many players on there country. They usually lead missions, pork bases, and try to capture fields. Most are very open to idea's.
Enemies:
Armchair General, Ranker, Fighter.
7. Armchair General
This is a Warmonger, taken to the extreme. This type sits in the tower/hanger/O'club etc. and order players around, wether it be to pork a base or capture one, they simply will not do anything, which is the big difference between a Warmonger and a Armchair General.
Enemies:
All groups.
8. The New guy
Usually on his/her 2 week trial, many will ask question after question regarding the game. Many other players dislike them/tired of them after a short while. Everybody started out this way, wether it be in this game or another.
Enemies:
None.
9. The "Jerk"
These types are split into 3 sub-groups: The cocky player (who does anything to show off his skills), The "piss anyone off" player (who usually targets new guys and so on), and types that fit into both. Disliked greatly by most other groups, these types usually fit into the "Ranker" group as well.
Enemies:
Everyone but the Ranker.
Does this seem relatively accurate?
This is just a re-written copy of the one Murdr created way back in Air Warrior. His version was far better too.

You happen to have a link to that? I"d be interested in reading it.

Ok, to break it down.
I'm a Fighter, I absolutley love to fight. I don't do it for rank, and probably never will, but I enjoy getting those 1v1s and having fun doing it. The way I see it, you can tell alot by how someone fights 1v1.
I'm a Warmonger, I have chosen a squad that likes to take bases and win the War, so I have to be the guy that likes to take bases and win wars.
And the best one I'm good at, being the Jerk, I love to start fights on 200 just for the hell of it, to see what people can do to back up the watermelon talk. I realy love doing it to Tripl5, he can say as much as he wants but he can never, absolutly never, back his talk up. So when he fights me, thats it enough making him mad, although on a second thought, I just might rag on him for as long as I or he plays AH. I love to try and show off the skill, I know I'm good, not as good as others, but I still know I'm good. Most fights I can win with a realy unbalanced fight, such as E and Alt. I usualy get them down and they die pretty quick. I like to fight guys who are much better than me, I know the only way I'm going to get much better than I already am, is to fight some of the best sticks in the game.
Thats me!

Nuff said. :lol

Ive only been playing about 5-6 months, no particular style of player really annoys me except for one:
The almighty "Prosecutor".
This is the guy that records every single frigging sortie that he/she flies. And God forbid that you are the person that shoots down the "Prosecutor". For if you do, soon after the "you shot down <player id> #1. You receive a message similar to this:
Dogfight:
"I emptied my guns into you and nothing-u hit me once and i died."
"I recorded the whole thing and i'm sending it to HTC"
GV:
"15 direct turret shots and nothing"
"u hit me once and i died"
"I recorded the whole thing and i'm sending it to HTC"
The "Prosecutor" will also take screenshot after screenshot of any and all smacktalk, regardless of to whom it is directed.
Have a nice day everyone.

Sometimes mistakingly taken for a #9
Although a #9 is oft times mistaken for "THE DRUNK"

I am in the bomber catagory without a doubt. However, me and my squadies like to take a break every now and then to try our hand at furballing. <S> To all you fighter jocks that have it together. I feel out of my element in a fighter. (for the time being)
