Title: i don't normally do this
Post by: CAP1 on January 03, 2010, 11:54:40 PM
but the same ole crap's gettin pretty old.

couple weeks ago, i come across a guy, just about co-alt. we merge, i go vertical, look back, and he's rollin over headin for the deck. i follow, he split-s's, doesn't get position, and egresses.

 as he's doing this, he's on open channel, asking if i'm sight seeing, and why running. yet he is the one egressing.

 i head for a different part of the map, so as to not get into any more crap with this guy. go where there's a lot of action, by the time i get there, there's only 1 or 2 bad guys, with a bunch o good guys on them. i keep alt, and head south.
 come across a lower con, and it almost seems as if he hasn't seen me....i dive to slightly below him, closin hard, last minute, he break turns..i go back up, roll over, and there he is, already 4k out.
 another friendly caused him to turn, and i was able to get him.

 was the same dude from earlier. what does he say? "nice pick cap"  WTF??? he ran, was forced to turn, then accuses the person that originally engaged him of picking?


 now tonight......a nearly co-alt merge, 1st pass nothing. 2nd pass is looking to be a ho, i dodge, but take hits......so 3rd pass, i ho him back(which i've admitted to doing). 4th pass another ho, 5th pass, yet another ho..and a white collision message(although according to my film he was at least 5 feet away from me)

 by this time, i've lost an aileron, and an engine, and some other stuff, so i try to drag him into the ack(which i've also admitted to doing when necessary). he gets close, but not close enough for ack to hit him...than after 2 or 3 pssses, he comes on open channel saying "go land p38 you obviously don't want to fight anymore". i replied "of course i don't want to fight a hotard".
 so what was his excuse? i dove on him 3 times. i'm still pretty baffled how i can dive on him from co-alt. merge.
 after the first pass, i did gain an alt advantage, and did my best to maintain it, so the ho passes(we both fired) were him goin up, me goin down.
 then he tries to say ack hit his engine, and no damage from me.

 before the above fight, i had a corsair run from me for 2 sectors, just so he could land. and he had no kills.

 so what's the deal?? why is it that when someone loses a fight, it was never their fault? or why can;t someone admit to being beaten by someone? why do people feel the need to critisize one for doing the same thing they themselves do? (i don't generally complain about gettin ho'd anymore, as i'm gettin better at dodgin em).

 why did this dude feel the need to lie about why he ho'd? he could've just said " i did it, o well"? like i do when feel i'm forced to?

 the worst part? all three of these guys are vets. 2 of em i hold in fairly high respect, although it's dropping each time i see em on.

 i have film of all of this stuff, but i'm choosing to leave it off here for now, as i'd rather leave their names out.....unless i need to put em in.


a whine has been recorded....and now it's time to go to bed.

Yep.  A well known Vet was in LW Blue and whined about "HO'ing" after he turned 270 degrees to open up on me first.   He missed, I didn't.   IT made my night though.

CAP, you're a good guy and fun pilot to wing with (for the few times I've been in MW).  Don't let them get to you. 

He's one to make you giggle.  The other night I'm cruising along in my B-Pony, and I see a set of B-17s 4k below me.  I kick on WEP and dive toward the top and hammer the far left 17, parts of the 17 are falling like confetti, but she didn't go down.  I zoom back up and realized the 17 never fired.  So I dive back in and BOOM, one 17 down.  Still no one firing.  Ok lucky day, silly AFK bombers.  So I start a shallow dive in behind the second drone, and begin to spew four .50s of love.  About the time the wing catches up Mr.AFKr shows back up and begins to fire. First hit knocks out my engine.   

Luckily I am at 10k and at the edge of a friendly radar circle.  So as I am gliding my 51 in I start getting private messages about how I shouldn't attack AFK bombers, and how I am weak, ect ect.  The whole time I laughing my arse off. I glide into base as one of my squaddies finished off the last 17.  I send MrAFK one last message..."This ones for you bud"  then I landed my two B-17 kills.

Now I have a new goal for this tour: To hunt MrAFK and kill him as many times as possible. Why?  I enjoy the funny PMs.

Every now and then I get silly PM's for stuff similar to that...

Most recent was attacking a set of B-24s at 10k with too much altitude flying a P-51B in MW. Was flying long range so I went to 17k and kicked it down to Normal Power. Well a clean P-51B will do 380+ mph in level flight at those settings. Needless to say when I dove pure vertical in on him I had a ton of smash. Wings creaking and just starting to get compression as I fired every time, a nice flamer on each pass. He called me an alt monkey and other various things for not attacking from long six. When I got done with him I killed his escort who was co-alt flying formation on the initial bounce.

 :lol

these 2 storys are funny.
 i've never had anyone pm complaints to me yet......just over open channel, thinking nothing'll be said.that's over with. 
 if i keep gettin that typ of poop, i'm gonna start posting names along with the films. none of us is perfect, espcially me, but these clowns are teaching the new guys how not to fight, then they deny silly stuff like that. the only way we're gonna get it to stop, is to call em on it. :aok

I had someone demand I go to the DA, only to not show up, make excuses back in the MA on 200 and then PM me for the next 20 minutes with, amongst other things, his real name and location so that we could meet in person.  Apparently he fancies himself quite the vigilante.  

The screen shots are real gems.  Its not every day that you have someone command you to look up their Facebook account just so one could see who one was "dealing with."  :D

Those fellas talking trash when they loose sound like just plain old fashion poor sports and just can't handle the fact the guy they faced was either a better pilot, or had more luck on his side. If you loose a fight because of a mistake you made so what? Learn from it, respawn and got at it again. To say that some one cheated because they took advantage of your mistake nothing more than an excuse to cover the fact you messed up. Think about this folks, in the real airwar during WWII, mistakes made by pilots were capitlized upon by their oponents. There was no "cheating", and even the greatest of aces engaged in HO's on more than one occasion. ( I have read the books written by the aces themselves and they engaged in HO several times, I don't understand why that is determined to be taboo, labeled a rookie move, and people feel guilty when admitting to doing it   :headscratch: oh well) I suggest folks who play this game do some reading about real WWII aces and their fights (if you haven't already) it is some intresting stuff and you will learn a lot about fighter pilots. Just my 2 cents.

 with me....if i happen to win.....it's luck. i don't care though, as the fight is what's fun for me.

 well....that, and landing on enemy runways lately.  :noid

 as for ho'in being taboo? i try to not do it. my life doesn't depend on it, as the real pilots lives often did. i like to maneuver for the kill if i can......

 look at it like this. one of the fights i mentioned, was a nearly co-alt, and co-e merge....he lost advantage, and chose to ho, rather than try to regain it. i did ho back. dint want to, but i did.

 last night, i had a couple fights against dedalos again....if one could call them fights. first one was nearly co-alt, co-e merge. i lasted almost 4 turns i think.
 second one, i had a serious alt advantage. i screwed up, and he while still at the disadvantage had at least two....count em...two chances to ho me. he chose to continue the fight, and (unfortunately for me)he eventually got me.

 the difference here? they're both vets.......both excellent sticks. but one chose to take the cheesy way out. was med alt, c2 vs 38.....he may well have won without ho'ing.

Be sure when you finally read about WWII, you cover the part where when they died they and could not respawn. This is a game, a competition, not real life.

Personally I'd rather have one good fight than land ten kills.

Exactly Shuffler, it is a GAME, so have fun with it. BTW Cap I hope you don't think I was saying that you were the one claiming cheat when things don't go your way. I was making a general referance to (usually a noob or rookie) the pilot who makes the mistake in any engagement, looses, then makes excuses. I will agree a good fight is better than a quick kill, think of it like this... which fight would say is worth the money and watcing? Mike Tyson knocking out some guy in 18 seconds of round one, or Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti slugging it out full on for the full 12? Having said that, in the right situations, I don't think anyone should feel guilty about HO's. Myself, I just like flying and fighting, I don't care about my score or rank (which is in the toilet) but when I loose, I salute my oponent wether he killed me quick, or after a good fight. I'll stop ranting fellas.  :airplane:

times when a ho is reasonable(to me anyway):

when outnumbered
when damaged badly
when ho'd first


 and i didn't think you were directing that at me. i don't generally accuse anyone of cheating. when i lose(often the case) i still consider it a win, if it was a fun fight. i get film to watch and learn from.

 you are also mistaken. more often than not, it's not new guys doing this poop. it's the vets that should and do know better......but they seem to let their egos get in the way/.

i'll take a dozen losses against shuffler, sonic, grizz, dedalos, soulss, and a host of others that are a blast to fight against, rather than a single jousting match with some doof that can't stand the possibility of his cartoon airlane getting shot down.  :aok

Cap1, part of the gaming mentality is unfortunately this kind of stupidity.  Some pilots have to cover their weeny manliness (or maybe womanliness, who knows...) with Hindenburg sized egos. 

If you kill them from a lower e-state, you were lucky.
If you kill them from a higher e-state, you're a picker.
If you kill them in anything but a P-40, you're a skillless noob in an uuberplane.
If you refuse to fight the fight on their terms, to their own planes strengths, you're (insert one of several popular words for "unmanly"). 
And regardless, for a number of pilots, no matter how they died they somehow died because they "were typing" or "AFK" when you did so.

Just shrug it off.  If there's too much crud on 200, just detune for an hour or two.
If you're being pm'ed, just .squelch
If you're being pm'ed the wrong kind of crud, .report and then .squelch.

But most important  - after doing either one - .laugh, then .forget.
They aren't worth another moment of your time, or so much as another thought.   If you think about it, you'll realize that the small potatoes really are such a small percentage of the players that the real crime is to let them cause you to lose sight of just how many class acts there are in the game.

Sounds like Nisr.  He called me an 'alt monkey freak' for taking off at a base he was bombing, climbing 3k above him and then diving down and killing his buffs.  He was rather upset that I dove to attack instead of attacking his buffs from dead six.

Quote
----------------------------------------------

I shot down a P38 pilot who is ranked quite high, twice, both times he was AFK.  The first time I timed it just right and caught him just as he came out of his own dar, then his plane must of rolled right all by itself just as I opened fire, the second time he was over my base on dar aand I suppose he thought that was a good time to be AFK also.  

My squad and I are still laughing about the "AFK" call.  Maybe AFK stands for "I wasn't paying attention and died before I saw you", because "IWPAADBISY" takes too long to type.

Cap you and AckAck are the reasons I don't go in the MW much anymore...every time I see a P38 in red I shudder...and normally when I do see one, it's on my 6.

Have you tried the zen approach to AH? It's very simple really, strap yourself into your seat...shake out your authentic pile-it cap...get comfortable...then once you're logged into AH you run the ./stupid=ignored and the ./moron=ignored commands in your head...you may have to repeat this a few times while in AH...keep your fingers off the keyboard unless someone salutes you or asks a legitimate question. It works.

I had someone accuse me of being a ace pilot one night even though the only message I got was "xxx has collided with you".  Go figure.

The last time I played I smoked a Ki-84 with an I-16 and he ran for ack, then later in the flight I engaged a Spit at 10K and after the first two turns he dove to the ack.  Someone should tell these guys that they can control the fight.

But I digress... I agree, there's too many timid players and too many that can't accept that they were the ones that made a mistake then have to announce it to the world so that their cartoon death doesn't hurt their cartoon ego.  Like anyone cares.

I am confused Zoney.  Did you get into a fight against that 38 and won or did you shoot some one that did not know you were there until he saw tracers?  In the first case WTG and the 38 driver needs help.  However, I am suspecting that we are talking about the second case.  In that case, what exactly is your point?  Was he supposed to tell you GF or something instead of the truth?

LOL...so says the pee38 peelot...  :D

Cap you and AckAck are the reasons I don't go in the MW much anymore...every time I see a P38 in red I shudder...and normally when I do see one, it's on my 6.

Have you tried the zen approach to AH? It's very simple really, strap yourself into your seat...shake out your authentic pile-it cap...get comfortable...then once you're logged into AH you run the ./stupid=ignored and the ./moron=ignored commands in your head...you may have to repeat this a few times while in AH...keep your fingers off the keyboard unless someone salutes you or asks a legitimate question. It works.

I normally manage to ignore the stupid stuff. and will be in the future. at least for awhile. it just got under my skin, as the dude was bein a wise arse, and i used to fly with him...and had some respect for him.
 that respect is also the reason he wasn't named this time.

 i suspect, that if you ever see my 38 o doom, i'm more than likely in your sights, rather than on your six.  :neener: :airplane: :bolt: :noid :aok

I had someone accuse me of being a ace pilot one night even though the only message I got was "xxx has collided with you".  Go figure.

The last time I played I smoked a Ki-84 with an I-16 and he ran for ack, then later in the flight I engaged a Spit at 10K and after the first two turns he dove to the ack.  Someone should tell these guys that they can control the fight.

But I digress... I agree, there's too many timid players and too many that can't accept that they were the ones that made a mistake then have to announce it to the world so that their cartoon death doesn't hurt their cartoon ego.  Like anyone cares.

 yep. he never accused me of ramming him though.....although we missed on my end.  :D

 i make mistakes all the time. like last night. fought dedalos 2x. lost both...in the cartoon world. but in reality i won. i had fun dying my glorious cartoon death, and i got film to learn from.

I am confused Zoney.  Did you get into a fight against that 38 and won or did you shoot some one that did not know you were there until he saw tracers?  In the first case WTG and the 38 driver needs help.  However, I am suspecting that we are talking about the second case.  In that case, what exactly is your point?  Was he supposed to tell you GF or something instead of the truth?  



What "truth" is it you speak of?  I was speaking of a prevaracation, which is not the truth, rather the opposite actually.  I also dont expect him to say anything, but he did, informing me he was afk when the first time his plane rolled just as I got guns on and the second time he was directly over my base, with my radar working and making it easy to find him, which makes me wonder if he really was afk the last time too, and cmon, this guys a hot stick.  AFK over an enemy base?  Really?  It is much more likely that he simply assumed he was safe at 20k and could be lazy about checking his 6.

Post by: Ack-Ack on January 04, 2010, 03:32:39 PM


I shot down a P38 pilot who is ranked quite high, twice, both times he was AFK.  The first time I timed it just right and caught him just as he came out of his own dar, then his plane must of rolled right all by itself just as I opened fire, the second time he was over my base on dar aand I suppose he thought that was a good time to be AFK also.  

My squad and I are still laughing about the "AFK" call.  Maybe AFK stands for "I wasn't paying attention and died before I saw you", because "IWPAADBISY" takes too long to type.


If you're referring to DMGOD (he's the only one in a P-38L that you shot down twice), he's hardly considered to be one of the experienced P-38 drivers in this game or even a good stick for that matter and is known for his 'outbursts' on open channel/PMs and challenging players to the DA and then backing out and not showing up.

My favorite is when you have someone on your 6, you are turning your but off trying to get away from him, all the time he is on your 6 mind you.  You throw gear flaps and go to idle, Honk the nose into the verticle, and he runs into from behind, and then yells that YOU ran into HIM.  All the while he is Spraying and praying that he will hit something.  Another fovorite is the guy that is 30000 and dives in on you while you are enguaged, no problem there, but then he miss judges, or compresses, and runs into you, again it is your fault.

Awhile back there was a player in the LW arena that went ballistic on open channel about how he was rammed by some 'ace pilot' and then the story came out a few minutes later.  It turns out that the guy that 'was rammed' and went ballistic on open channel was vulching someone, came in too fast and collided with the person he was trying to vulch.

now that just made me laugh.

i don't often vulch, but on this particular night i was.

 it was a challenge. the base was completely de-acked, and there were about 6 or 7 gv's out, spread around the field.
 it was fun, to see how many vulch passes i could make down the runway, without getting shot down. made about a half dozen passes, got a couple vulch kills. then i saw something rolling. got closer, see it's b-26's.

 never saw the drones, as i lined up on the main guy. the drone lifted, and my dumb arse flew right into it. i nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that one.  :rofl :noid :rofl :airplane:

I really don't like these either but I've got one...a certain person who is a Spit 16 pilot and thinks he is uber 1337, calls people cowards and makes excuses for every time he dies got to me again a few nights ago.

Was cruisin' around in my 234 as normal, doing my normal thing of screwin with people till one takes my bait. Got a couple kills. Then, I get one who tried to Ho over and over, finally he took it and got on my six, he got my engine oil but I took his wing out. Hah, whatdayaknow, guess who it is. you dont see this (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/newscores/killsinp.php?playername=Spikes&selectTour=LWTour119&pindex=39&kname=Draggon).
Then I see "Nice pick, but you aren't going to land that!" on 200. Well first, how is shootin someone from their 12o'c a pick. Told him he only got me engine oil. Then he said "Whatever yuo say coward, fight me in a real man's plane." :huh . So I landed my 3 kills and didn't hear a peep from him directed to me, except him dying and thumping his chest when he got a kill or 2 in his Spixteen.

 Up a D3A off the CV off the coast going Spit hunting. I was merging with a Spit 16 but he did not Ho so he obviously wasn't my friend. Got in a small turn with a P39 and pinged him a bit. Saw a friendly A6m go for a Ho shot with a Spit 16, both fired, both missed miserably (remember this) and the A6M augered. The Spit 16 then turned on me and tried a Ho attempt. Obviously me getting in a D3A with 2 Pea shooters, got behind him but took a few minutes to down him. His wing got taken off as he whacked a tree and I got the kill. Guess who!

He then said he was damaged when Hoing the A6M and that I should get in a man's plane. (Seriously, what's his idea of a man's plane? I flew a plane with no front guns, and a plane with 2 front pea shooters, with him being in a Spit 16...)

While I was flying home I got a kill (probably the P39) and landed on the CV with my 2 kills. He said on 200 then, "Only 2? You must really suck!". Again, :huh . 2 pea shooters...so I just squelched him and ended it there.


Now I've killed said person countless times with my 234 vs his Spit16 and the only time he's gotten the kill on me was while I was on final after he PW'd my 234 in a Ho attempt and I got Host connection Lost message.

It will never happen, but it things like these stories that makes me wish for a newb area. A place to teach new players the basics of how to operate the different equipment, basic fighting skills, basic bombing skills, basic GVing skills, basic communication skills. Then make them pass a test, or "complete a mission" before they can advance to the Mains.

Having the basics in the bag may help them concentrate more on the game when in the Mains instead of flopping around being lost and getting swallowed up by "squads" that just want bodies instead of what a group to hang out with. A lot of these squads then just flounder around lost as a group ganging others, or running NOES with a 100 guys and such that seem to promote this poor behavior.

No if he tried to use the Spit16s power advantages he would have been smart.  Hmmm "Next time you call some one out show up in the same plane please", why?  I told him to bring whatever plane he wanted, and let him pick the alt. and I brought whatever plane I wanted. But I suppose you're right ENY 5 plane vs ENY 30, what was I thinking :rolleyes:

wanna hear somethign funny?

i actually have trouble in the spits n zeeks now, since i've been flying the ole 38 o doom almost exclusively.  :joystick:

Because it is a set up for what I described.  If he turns like he did, you come in here and brag about how dumb and skilless he is.  Had he used the plane the way he was supposed to, you would have been in here whining that he was e-fighting the your little ENY 30 plane.  Show up in the same plane and same alt and teach him a lesson if you think you can.

Your comment in bold is what I am talking about.  You gave yourself a way out of failing.  What does ENY 30 mean anyway?  The Brew is a hell of a turner.  You want to claim you out turned someone do it when they are in a Brewster also.

Question ded.

How about when you drag the E out of them, then blast em. Ive watched you,slap,stang ect all do this on many occasions, in  "inferior" ac.  If that's not teaching them a lesson what is?

Whoa Trigger! Where did I call anyone skillless or dumb? Had he used/ or anyone for that matter used E-fighting I would have been very pleased.  It creates more of a challenge. Use your planes strenghts and use your enemies weakness.

Yes the Brewster is a great turning aircraft.  But the Spit climbs faster, accelerates better, and carries a better gun package. If anyone extendes with in reason I do not fault them, I did not force him to automatically start a turn fight.  That was the pilots choice.  As was his choice of aircraft.

Beating the crap out of them in their 'own' plane.  I used to drag storchita into the DA and it would get boring shooting down his Bf 109K4 in my P-38J each time then I upped a Bf 109K4 myself and beat the snot out of Storchita (ironically, it took me less time to kill him in a K4 than it did in a P-38J) in it.  To me that was a better schooling than if I had continued doing it in a P-38J.

That happened to me last night, except the guy hoed on the first merge and I dodged. the second merge I sent him some .50 cals as a gift and his hoed out carcass hit my plane. He gets on 200 complaining and about 5 of his buddies join him in telling me I was the ho and ace pilot. He pointed his nose at me, I wasn't going to let him ho me again.

I'm not disagreeing. My point is to beat them in a lesser plane is still a good lesson.

I agree, I just dont think a zero or a Brewster is a lesser plane when it comes to turning.  On the other hand, if you come in in a LA7 vs a zero or Brew and you e fight them it is not fair to them either.  My point was that  out turning a spit16 in a brew is the same as BnZ-ing a brew in a spit16.

Sounds like you chose his plane but did not reveal yours until the fight.  Why is that?  He might have lost, but he did the right thing.  He tried to beat you in your game and did not take the easy way out.

Too true Dedalos.  A point that I have argued before. Every plane whether high ENY or low ENY has it's strengths and weaknesses. :aok

In most, the greatest weakness is the lack of experience of the cartoon peeeelot in said aircraft.

I know sometimes the "game" can get pretty frustrating, but sometimes you just have to walk away, that being said.

Acceptable  HO shots = anytime you get in my gun sight, which also goes for "picks" and AFK's, if you don't want to be shot down, don't let yourself get into position to be shot down.

Every WWII pilot took advantage of any mistake the enemy made, be it he flew for the Allies or the Axis.

Remember that this is a game, and you can turn it off and sleep in your bed at night, the men who actually fought this war could not and had to live the life, we fly cartoons, they flew the real thing, when a situation got bad they ran, and so would anyone else in there situation.  

Those who play for the score, run when things get bad, those who play for the fun of it, stay and fight.

CAP is right don't complain when you get shot down, no one wants to hear or see your whining on channel or pm, instead up another plane and go back and see if you can shoot them down, but most of all, have fun. :salute :airplane: :joystick:

I agree that pilot experience and knowledge can be a weakness.  Strictly speaking of aircraft abilities though, I say Dedalos makes a good point.

My point about the Spit16 kids was the fact that many seem to have this idea that it is the some monster that cannot be beat. Espeacially by some EW plane. Many cry foul.  

Yes, I told him to bring his Spit16, the plane he was most comfortable in, the plane he flies the most. I don't see it as he did the right thing, if I was in a 51 going against a Brew, I would not play the Brews game. I'm sure you turn fight every Brew when you're in a LA7 or Niki? I do not fault a player for using the strengths of their planes. Everything from extentions, to climb rates, dive rates, and gun packages.

I was against Bruv119 one late evening, he was in a 109K, he used his aircrafts superior climb ability to gain the advantage, and eventally knocked the wings right off my plane. It was a great fight, and I enjoyed it greatly.

But I have learned from you Dedalos, in duel in MA against a guy I am supposed to play their game, vs mine.

Your partially right. This is a game... a competition. You can either try to compete and improve or just Ho everything.


Real pilots in WWII were not in a game competing. The stakes were much higher.
