Title: 2 whines, arn't you special?
Post by: Spyder on February 14, 2009, 04:48:47 PM
1. SPIXTEENS!!!

I'm just sick of this plane. It is just wrong that this plane can keep going on un-perked. When you have to go out of the way to kill this plane, I'd say it needs to be perked. There isn't anything this thing isn't good in, it might even be as good as a tempest.

2. ZOMG! SPIES!!!

I'm not kidding. What is with all the spying? In the "lovely" new trinity map, on more than one occasion I've seen our CV, 5 sectors away from anything in the middle of nowhere be attacked. And I mean the cons go straight for it, there is no searching for it.

These are my whines, please leave me pleasant responses  :D

Oh and can some one please point out the many threads on both of these subjects? I just love um  :D

Zomg I knowz the Spit16z are sup3r uber and needz to be perked like 80 pointz.

Why is it all the noobs think the old maps that are being brought out of retirement are new? There are threads asking for them to be brought back into the rotaion, then all the noobs cry that they don't like these "new" maps.

It isn't new. It is a large map, and large maps were created recently. It may be a form of an old map but as far as I know, it isn't new.

Even the 205 has a better K/D ratio this tour than the spit 16.  Infact there are lots of planes that do.  Several 109', 190's and pony D to name a few.  Sounds like someone is putting themselves in bad positions.  I fly different planes to find out what they can and can not do...16 does alot of things well.

Thats because you dont see people telling two week noobs to go fly 205s or 190s. K/D for the whole arena really doesnt tell you much.

Absolutely true.  The Spit16 is the best non-perked arena-fighter in the game, and that's precisely why people tell two week noobs to fly it.

A6M2 isn't too hard to beat. It can't make it's tight turns at higher airspeeds, so just stay fast and you can beat it. Spit 16 on the other hand has both speed and maneuverability, making it more of a handfull to beat.

the tron plane MUST be dealt with. 

Anyone that has a clue knows all they have to do is wiggle like mad while twisty the rudder and chances to hit are VERY minimal.  When I see them do this I get the HECK out of dodge, these are the same guys that then turn, wep and slam their cable standby button then unwep while unstandy and wallah - they are now on your six. 

Always people gaming the game, but most gaming co's at least TRY to resolve the issues after hearing about it for a few weeks, let alone the MONTHS and MONTHS hitech has surely arranged a nice library from people submitting blatant examples.

I'll bet good money there have been over 2000 attempts on this subject to get HTC to do something about the a little over the top spit issues. Not one conversation has succeeded in the quest.

I don't care what I am flying, as soon as I see a spit I know i am just doomed. it's one thing that it's the easiest plane to fly, with a good pile-it driving it,..it's just given someone is going to land a lot of killed. Topped with the other type dweebish driver uses it to HO.

I think the plane needs to be perked to some degree. And seemingly the only way I see to meet middle ground on it is to give new players limited time to learn to fly,... and then say after 2 months,...it's perked like everyone else. This idea where you perk a lot of other planes, but not easiest to get kills in,... is really kinda hypocritical to the whole idea of perks. >>IMO<< If there was a balance there the issue would not be noticeable.

YA I know there will probably be easy hacks to counter it, and just a thought,.. but when you have VERY seasoned skilled pilots flying them and landing 15 kills,.. something is wrong. >IMO<

I'm not complaining as much as it's too noticeable of a situation to ignore.

Spys?,.. <shrug> spy back.

Really?  9 out of 10 SpitXVIs I come across have clueless pilots, so if you put them into a situation that new pilots don't know how to handle, you should come out the victor.

Every fighter airplane in the arena can do this. I saw a 'respected' (gag) pilot do this tonight and it did cause me to overshoot but as it is everyone hates that so you just report it to people in the area and everyone shoots at him first. Problem solved.  :D

IMO if your caught low and slow with a spit 16 or any spit your dead.  Unless the spit pilot really sucks.  But being caught low and slow is your fault in the first place...not the spit driver.
