Better yet, allow each person to enable or disable their landing/kill messages.

I'd turn mine off in a heartbeat...

I am asking this because I think it may help with the hoing race to get those two kills and get home which I think might be pushing people to shoot and run. Probably a few more people would try to play it safer but I think the majority would ease up on the hyper-ganging and ho-everything-in-sight mentality.

5  ?  make it 10, 

only uber sorties and uber vulchers will get to land then.

No 5 would allow the 202s E4s and Hurr1s a chance to play too or they would be permanent hangar queens.  :salute

If you don't want to see the messages all you have to do is .squelch 6 and they disappear.

whats the re-arm pad for?   :t  people fly those planes for fun i doubt they would want to land 5 kills in it, bar showing off i do that with the spit1.

plus i still believe those rides shouldn't be in LATE war, when Htc went back on his idea and re-enabled them in LW, after the split, LW just became the old MA with an arena cap. killing EW and MW before they had a chance.   hopefully he will fill the gaps in the planeset and try again.

It doesn't disable the messages, you just don't see them.

I'd like to turn mine off altogether, the few times I actually get to land.

They don't care, it bothers them that ANYONE can see them.

It never ends in here.

It wouldn't surprize me to see complaints about the color of the sky in here.

Absolutely amazing.

Well, the concern is that the "2 or more kills landed" message is partly responsible for what is perceived as bad gameplay.  What is bad gameplay?  An example might be someone who only fights when in a group or with lots of extra altitude, always dives to ack when he's about to lose a 1vs1 fight, etc.  Everyone does these things now and then. Everyone has ganged, been an altitude monkey, or hugged ack at one time or another.  And that's fine so long as it's not rigid behavior, but when it becomes rigid behavior it hurts the game.

Are kill messages responsible for it?  I don't know, but when you're new to the game it sure is cool to get your name in lights.  It feels like you've arrived. :cool:

Oh my... Boner's done more than just steal Thunder!  You should hear what he does to him on Friday nights after Thunder has had a few bottles of Wild Irish Rose.  It ain't pretty or for the faint of heart either.  What's that you say?  You weren't writing about ThunderEgg?  Oh... (emily letilla voice on) ...NEVERMIND!

All the Best....ROFLOL

In this case boner is just being negative. The suggestion was to benefit the entire arena and not just a few of us but if you like the way things are then carry on.  :rolleyes:

Hello Chalenge,

Truth be told I really do not care one way or another.  I do not think Boner is being negative just pointing out that a change to enforce certain behaviors on the AH population in it's entirety is not very welcomed by most(including myself).  We gotta be free my man!

Have a great day,

Way

Nice try shreck but thats not the case here. Titanic tuesday always comes around with the same juvenile antics and it makes me think the arena is 'sick' just like hitech once said. I know people will always see things differently too. Have a nice day.

one could always bail, or ditch. or does score really matter :noid

Post by: Chalenge on March 04, 2009, 11:07:20 PM
I ditch all the time so I dont have to take so much time getting home but I bail only if my plane is unflyable and I dont know what it does to your score. I guess the average sortie only sees one kill so setting it at two kills is slightly above average and all the reward they need.

Sometimes 2 kills can be harder then 12, 2 1v1s with good stick in battles lasting 30 seconds or longer is a better run then 12 vulchs by j0ker anyday, lol had to put his name in there :rofl

... and then some of the best sticks can go real quick too.

I have been running into more and more F4Us that are obviously learning their moves from the same trainer because they all do the same thing but mostly at the wrong time and it doesnt work for them then. The 109s I have been seeing all try right hand turns which is just wrong for that plane and they die too. The best fight I had was a G6 that went left over and over and I mean I was on the edge of stall and twice I know the guy was watching waiting for me to stall and spin but finally he lost that little E advantage he had and one shot killed him. That fight went three minutes (2:52) not thirty seconds but I will hand it to him he didnt try to run he tried to break the lock it just didnt work.  :D

seem very cocky in your skillz, im sure almost 90% of the time the first move a plane is gunna make is to the left due to right handed people, so what if people suck in hogs they like the fat chicks some get um some dont, but what i dont understand is what your trying to prove here..... :huh

Post by: Chalenge on March 05, 2009, 12:17:20 AM
No Im an easy kill.  :(

No a 109 should go left and a pony right. A 109 turns better left and the opposite for the pony. Im a purist is all Im saying and the closer to the way it must have been is more to my liking which is why I dont like the stick stirring and stick slamming the noobs are doing now. The close fights that reproduce tales from the pilots of the day are my favorite.

And the F4Us can make even noobs look good but my point in mentioning that is someone had to give this guy some time one on one to show him the moves I saw him do but it made him lose a fight the F4U should have won because he had not learned when to do that sort of thing yet. The cart cannot go before the horse in other words and sometimes buidling experience first is more important then the actual moves. Remember the OODA loop? The first step is observe and if that first step doesnt happen the loop falls apart and the fight is lost while observing without knowing how to interpret what you are observing destroys the loop also.

Have a nice day.
