Title: Finally a definition of a horde from a reliable & respected source!
Post by: waystin2 on October 20, 2008, 12:53:51 PM
12 planes at 20K is indeed a horde.

First, thank you for explaining to the AH community how many planes constitute a horde.  Second, I never knew that altitude plays into the making of a horde, but coming from such a reliable and respected source it must be true.  I do have a few questions for clarification though:

1)If 12 planes are at say 19k, then they are not a horde?

2)If 11 planes are over 20k, then do they become a horde?




PS-Have the ground crews check your altimeter Sunfan, as i believe it may be off by about 5k! :aok

I own anyone of u guys 1 v 1. Hell I'd prolly still kill you guys 2 v 1 easily. Killing someone in a 12 v 1 is something to be proud about?

If you need 11 wingmen with you at all times, you may have a problem.

Meh, don't get me wrong Sunsfan, I like a good fair fight, but what guarantee do you ever have of getting one in the main arena?  In the MA whenever you engage, you are making a decision based on the surroundings on what fight you are engaging into.  If you are engaging a spit coalt at 7k and there are two enemies 190's 6k out 4k higher, you aren't engaging into a 1v1, you are engaging into a 3v1.  I can see how one can be upset if they dogfight somebody for 5minutes and THEN get ganged because the situation was clear for a fair fight for a reasonable amount of time before you got jumped.  But I'd have to venture and say 95% of unfair fights are a consequence of the pilot's decision to enter into the unfair situation.  In my original example with the spit in 1v1 with 2 190s coming in hot, you obviously are the underdog and will probably die 80% of the time unless you make quick work of the spit and then survive a barrage of 2 190's zooming at your bellybutton until somehow you can get help.  So you gotta know your chance of success is 20% going in and you can't complain after it's all said and done.  Just a general soap box not directed towards you Sunsfan, just in general to the avid MA furballer who expects Fair Fights and Etiquette to be a higher priority than No Rules War.

Hello Evanheim,

The only troll I have run across for days is Mr. Sunfan.  For some reson he has taken an awful liking to me, and has managed to place some smart comment behind everything I post.

Hmmm...

12 planes sounds more like a squad night than a horde.

I'd call a horde any group that exceeds the AH visible plane limit.  Is that still set at 32?

Another player that thinks he owns someone. How do I get to own someone in this game?
Am I not good enough? How do you tell if you own someone in this game? Is it a SCORE thing?
I would like to hear it from a reliable source please.

Let's bury the hatchet Sunfan.  It is not in my personality to be rude.  My apologies Sir for starting the thread.  My only question is why you have singled myself and the Pigs out for ridicule on what seems to be a regular basis?  No sarcasm included in any of this post, and sincerely looking forward to your response.  Feel free to PM me to continue this conversation in private.

Maybe he's trying to encourage you guys to stop holding hands all the time?  I know its scary, but only having 1 or 2 of your 12 attack the one baddy might be just the medicine.   :rolleyes:

No it's a fantasy of some egotistical butt wipes that thinks they are back in the 1800's and has himself some slaves.  I always have to laugh whenever I see somebody claim to own another.  The bottom line is that they can't change my gameplay if they were to kill me over and over a thousand times.  Now if they were my wifey, they might be able to modify my behavior or gameplay depending on what she is giving me. roflol.......

All the Best...

You wouldn't change your gameplay even if it kept getting you killed?
