I'd like to present my Bozo Award to .....well, Bozo of the Flying Circus.
Never before have I witnessed that degree of clowness in a co alt/co e
engagement. When you didn't HO on the merge I thought "great, you in a C205 and me in my Yak at 19k
this should be fun". Instead, after pulling every move out of your bag of tricks and
still couldn't shake the yak, you decided to dive almost a sector to your base ack. Not sure how
your wings stayed on at 550(around the point I started recording) but nevertheless, I couldn't help but
formulate the question.......What makes someone fly to an enemy base at 20k and then turn tail for home
without firing a shot the minute a challenge arises? Why are people so afraid to "die" in their virtual rides?
Seriously. What is the freaking point of taking off, climbing to 20k over an enemy base and running at the
first sign of a fight?
Any word on when H2H is coming back for subscribers?
I'm looking forward to joining rooms where you know that "red guy" is in for the "fight to the death" and not
beholden to some ridiculous notion that "rank" means something in this game.

Because the C2 dives really, really well. Almost like a 109 and a 190 mixed, and Italian
-
Why are people so afraid to "die" in their virtual rides?
To break it down even a step further, why are people so convinced they are going to die that they need to run so far?
Just because you're at a disadvantage at that moment doesn't necessarily mean you can't get out of it at some point, some how.
Extend, reverse, climb, roll, hit the brakes and let 'em fly right by. :D The apparent self perceived lack of skill leaves running to ack, or friends, as the only alternative to actually trying to defend one's self.
Conversely, there are some "run to the ack" situations I feel are legitimate. Just taking off and high cons all about? Stay in the ack and try to climb. (Or, sneak away and climb).
Diving 15K and running to the ack is just silly.

You're right, climbing that high is usually a waste of time. However, you mentioned you were both co-alt at 19k, what are you doing that high over your own base? That seems more comical to me...
Everyone plays AH differently; some play for the fight, some play for the comraderie, some play for the wingman tactics, and some play to take bases. Does posting this in any way help promote good gameplay?

This is the best part of the game you have just described? That is the human element of the game?? You just never know what the other guy is going to do.

It is not like he made a HO pass at you and dived away. The way you describe it, he actually tried to fight, saw it was getting hopeless and attempted to disengage. It was YOUR mistake chasing him down. If the chase turns into a long run, just break off and let him return for another fighting chance. What you ask of him is to acknowledge your l33t ski11z and just die.
The way I see it, you blew your chance and blame him for your incompetence. He demonstrated better skills at disengagement against a much faster fighter.

hokly fk as I was reading this thread I just freaked out cause something was moving in the corner of my eye.. it was my shadow.
I got scared.. by my own totally tubular shadow.
*fail*
+1 WTF YOU DOING 19k OVER YOUR OWN BASE?! Better come up with a damn good afk climb excuse :) (oh i just came up with it for you)
Aanyways id just like to throw the name of LtPappy in the mix here.
Maybe someone has experienced his running. I attacked a field, he was co-alt, co-e.. in a spit16 vs my ki84 (not other nmes/frinds).. he aims his plane straight at me, i dive under loop over and he just tries some lazy half rope... against a ki.. eventuallyh e realizes hes roping himself to die.. dives away and runs back to his field.
I stick around, kill a few.. while laughing at him on 200.. (i knew it was him he had ran into ack sortie before after getting outmatched earlier n was the only spixteen around) I see a dar at the next sector field, i figure its clearly him. I go there, lo n behold.. spixteen trying to grab up hard but I've got alt on him.. as soon as I enter vis range he turns around and bolts it back to his field.. and literally crash lands on the runway.
its your 15 dollars yes yes do what you want... but in wasting peoples time with ur nonfighting, ur ognna get called out for being a beyatch but that's perfectly fine.. if you really dont care about what people think of you >>
so the moral of the story here is:
these people are inconsiderate chits with no fiber or backbone.. they dont care what YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THINK OF THEM-
Sadly thats why this thread comes across as pointless :frown:
-

So you've never gone for a leak, gotten yourself another tasty ale and returned to find your plane
was close to 20K? Over my own base? I can't think of a better place to start your hunt with a full
enemy dar bar in the sector.

What's wrong with being at 19K for base defense?
-
I love these posts .....someone trying to tell others how they should play the game.
Maybe he was low fuel....maybe he just disengaged? Whatever it was it wasn't worth
a Post. It's just part of the game.

Because then ppl like Steve have to climb to 20k+ to B&Z you in his P51 :D

Yup. Almost always works, and then you get a fight.

Before you go flaming someone over the forums it is best to have some idea what you are talking about. Bozo is a great guy an an excellent squadie. He's lucky to get on maybe two times a week because his job as a Police Officer causes him to work odd hours. He doesn't have time to become "Uber" or "Elite" like you seem to think you are. He's just here to have fun. Congratulations, you're trashing someone who doesn't monitor the forums and will never see this post, you're a true bad ass.

and the Worthless post award goes to... :rolleyes:
This is the sort of drama that community does not need. :aok

Before you go flaming someone over the forums it is best to have some idea what you are talking about. Bozo is a great guy an an excellent squaddie. i don't think he was judging him as a person in REAL LIFE
He's lucky to get on maybe two times a week because his job as a Police Officer causes him to work odd hours. i am proud he is a cop and protects his community but i don't think newz was saying he was a bad cop
He doesn't have time to become "Uber" or "Elite" like you seem to think you are. i don't believe he was saying he was the better pilot i believe he was saying he would have wanted to find out
He's just here to have fun. Congratulations, you're trashing someone who doesn't monitor the forums and will never see this post, you're a true bad ass.so you pick this post compared to the 40 million others that trash talk about other people kind of stupid if you ask me
this post in gen. is kind of stupid but post like this get started all the time and most don't think about what they are saying or how they have worded it. i have know newz aka LTARsoup for many many years. i know his intentions here was not meant in a bad way, however it happen to come across that way.
-
kilz - you must be ignorant. Why else would someone post this BS on a public forum? It's just to make someone look bad, while making themself look like a hero. Simple as that. I posted in this particular one because Bozo is a squadie of mine. You won't generally see me posting in stuff like this because it's just dumb
Why did you feel the need to post in it kilz? The same reason as me. newz is a squadie of yours...pot meet kettle.

I wouldn't have blown my altitude trying to follow. Sounds like a bad case of target-tunnel-vision to me.
I like to get up high in my spit8 and keep playing defense against the Mustangs until they lose their advantage and dive out while I continue to climb. I consider that a small victory (since I don't get too many real victories!) Chasing them won't do me any good, but I send out plenty of check 6's to the friendlies below so that they can be ready to trap them on the deck.

newz was a squaddie of mine for i think 4 years in the LTARs he was LTARsoup i was LTARkilz. i can understand your wanting to defend your squaddie and all but knowing newz like i do, his post is just taken the wrong way. i know his post sounds like he is demoralizing someone but it was not his intentions.

He's not trying to make the other guy look like a fool? You need to re-read his post.

I'm one of the guys who usually only jumps in here to defend a squadie, so I know where you're coming from...
but, you're gonna have to do a whole lot of spinning to make the "intent" of those first two sentences
anything other that what it obviously is.

yea but ack doesnt reach 19k :devil

I can say, without a doubt, that calling out bozo on these forums was a completely
rash, and silly thing to do. I am sorry if I have caused any upset, high blood pressure,
or any other ill feelings after my insensitive post.
Heck, maybe he usually sticks out the fight but this particular time had to answer a call
and needed to log.
While my frustration got the best of me last night I surely didn't need to come here and take
a dump on Bozo.
If I ever in future feel the need to pontificate on "bad game play" I'll be sure and and keep it
impersonal.
Sorry

Newz well done!
takes a good man to admit a mistake.
you just raised a few steps in my eyes.
BTW when I get angry I throw the joystick LOL

posting this poop in here is almost as bad as what you're complaining about. it's not gonna fix anything.
-
We all get frustrated newz, just how our breed is :D. That story you told happens to me multiple times every night. I know for a fact Bozo meant nothing by it, like I said his play time is limited at best and was probably jus trying to stay alive longer to enjoy it.
