Well, after takeing some time off from the MA's, then returning to find that I am worse (if thats possible) then I was B4. Getting frustrated at the classic HO'ing and picking and all the rest of the classic complaints we have all heard a thousand and one billion times. I came across "Badhorse".
Badhorse was my first real wingie back when we were both still learning to play the game, we flew fighters drove tanks defended and attacked, took bases and lost them landed kills and got killed plenty. Sometimes we would pork fields, bomb rifinerys (cause they burn) or just up something and go get killed. No matter what we did we always had fun. Anyways I went off to learn to be a cartoon fighter pilot and he kept doing what ever the heck you wanna call what it was we used to do.
So earlier tonight we went to midwar, I asked him what he wanted to do and we decided to knock out all the troops and radar at the 4 V-bases threatening a few airbases we had in the area. We upped a couple F6F's and I couldn't beleave I could still hit anything on the ground with a rocket or bomb. we let everyone know the bases were ready for troops and we even took one ourselves, my first capture in a couple years. Was FUN.
Well what i learned about finding the fun that I have been looking for of late is this, You don't have to be a fighter pilot, or bomber or GV'er or furballer or toolshedder, you just have to enjoy what your doing whatever that may be, don't let anyone tell you how to have fun and just go out and have fun. Enjoy the company you keep and don't worry about anyone elses standards for gameplay, play the game to have fun, try something new or in my case something old.
I don't think I have ever had a better time playing this game then when I have been in the company of Badhorse, i have alot of friends in the game and I have fun with all of them doing different things at different times different ways, everyone has a take on the game and do what they enjoy doing, alot of people I know would not be caught dead takeing a base, some really don't like it and others it's just not what furballers do, in any case "S" to everyone that does as they please in the pursuit of fun.
Now I just have to talk Badhorse into switching sides now and again.

Yanks,
Due to the most recent game upgrade by HTC and my 5 year old computer, I had to build a new one this weekend. It runs 1024 textures the same as 512 textures. 80's FPS in furbals and 115-120 FPS the rest of the time while VSync is forced on. I'm now playing an entirely new game. I didn't recognise my squad mates voices at first tonight because my audio hardware accelration is at max. No distortion. The squad had a fun and embarassing for me evening over that.
All of my timing is off. I'm having to learn gunnery again. But its also like I just got glasses after a few years of my vision going bad. Totaly new eye candy.
The game is what you make of it. Its wonderful to see you trusted your instincts about what is fun for you and found your freind all over again........... :salute

I was in MW Sunday too. I was waiting on Soulyss to time out so he could switch sides with me to find a fight. I jumped in an M3 all alone and headed to a V Base. Was killing time and figured I'd get shot to pieces before getting close. I came around a bend and saw smoke rising from the base. I blindly drove right in and dropped my troops. I was amazed no one was even there... the base was captured. I couldn't help but laugh. This was a frontline base in an area where we had been fighting in aircraft. I much prefer dogfighting to GVing, the scenery goes by much faster, but that was just plain funny.

This game on occasion gets to be the same old thing. For me I started to switch countries to the lowest side. I just got tired of the same old same old. It has made a few of my old country men mad but what the heck is this game about anyway? The Fight, correct? As much smack talk that goes on here and me being one of the worst offenders it all just comes down to the fact that we are all just a big disfunctional family with the same interests. One thing switching countries has done for me is to get to know people that have killed me a bunch or that I killed a bunch. Most are rather fun to fight with. It has opened up a whole new dimension to the game for me. Fighting against the base taking squads that I sometimes flew with that refuse to give up has really made the game better for all concerned. At least I think so. Some don't and get quite upset and start calling me classless and a traitor. I was even accused of listening in on a countries tactics and then switching countries to stop their base take. I had made an announcement that since there was no rooks on that I was switching sides. By the way there was nobody on the side I switched to so still am trying to figure out why anyone needs tactics to take an undefended base. But it's their $15 so they were doing what they wanted. I pretty much stay in MW, for me it's a little more manageable than MA. The dogfights are more personal as well as the other aspects of the game. I would like to see the game change a bit but until it does I'll keep pluggin along.

you're actually pretty cool, and respectable dude........i've never had a complaint or problem with you.......well, except thqat one night i couldn't get into a good fight with you in your mossie. it seemed that regardless of what i said on my side, someone jumped in, causing you to have to extend away, as you were fighting too smart.......or someone from your side would do the same....but sooner or later, i'll get to shoo.....eerr.....fight your mossie :aok :D

That's because we were on the Bish end of the map keeping the Playmates busy defending their bases. Great fun...... They can't be everywhere.
P.S. good job landing those tank kills. It shocked the hell outta me when I saw it on the text buffer. With you AckAck and Souless on the same side I guess you had to gv it to find a fight. I saw that on the roster and said to myself..... I am not flying over rook land today ;)

lol I knew folks would pass out seeing me landing kills in a GV. Was a few good fights but they petered out. So I GV'd a little.

sometimes, GV'ing is fun. i don't do it too often, as i only serve as bait so my countrymen can get some kills. i don't think i could hit even the large buildings if they were moving, so imagine me hitting a moving tiger or panzer :rofl
quick question though? saturday night, i was playing astronaught, chasing some b24's. on my 2nd or 3rd pass, he hit my engine oil, and i was 2 sectors from home, so i headed to rtb. crossing A1, i saw a p38 somewhat below me, climbing to me. it turned off over A1. was that you? if so, <<S>> for not following me all the way home, as there was no way i could've fought with the oil on the windscreen like that. i lost the engine completley about 2 minutes after the 38 turned away too. :D

I got bored of AH, then I took a good 3-4 months break. Now I'm back at it with a few flights a week. Just furballing it though, haven't find the time to go on some good long D9 sorties=/. THough that's all i wanna do !

you missed a GREAT furball between one of the knight cv's, and one of the rook island bases. was fun.....till someone sunk the cv anyway!
almost forgot.......
Cobia.......in one of those fights, i thought i was lookin at the tail end of your plane, squeezed the trigger, and realized i was looking at you comming strtaight at me.......so...apologizes for the ho pass......itwasn't delibret,.....and seeing as i'm one of the first to biatch when it happens to me, i need to apologize if i did it to someone undeserved. <<S>>

Very well said Yanksfan! I have learned that the people you fly with are what makes the game fun. :salute

wait...you can't..there's not enough good 38 drivers around.....but then again, he does kick my arse every time we fight............ :rofl

Yanks,
Very ironic post indeed. The last few weeks I have found myself just not having any real fun in the game as of late. FSO's have been a blast, but in the MA's I have been really struggling, especially my flying. I think I have hit that point where I just am not really showing any progress fwd, backwards if any really :furious. I have read about this happening to others, with hopes it would not happen to me. The fun just disappeared.
I fly MW mostly, maybe DA once in a blue moon. I have been spending more time GV'ing and gunning then flying, I'm somewhat ashamed of my flying as of late, I couldn't out turn a b24 with a hurri to save my ..... :huh :rofl But last night............... it was fun! I really think I just needed to realize to mix it up as it were, and listen to a fellow squaddie to " just play the game the way I would like to play it" :aok

Exactly, trying to fit yourself into some mold someone has made as to what one should be in this game is just silly. just go and have fun whatever you feel like doing. Don't worry about getting killed, just up another plane or tank or whatever. :aok

Yanksfan for President! :aok
