Stay out of my fight,should be the new WWI battel cry for all of us that love the dog fight.

dude, it's all about the furballing. Shoot anything red while ya can. When you find a single con and you are alone, praise your good fortune and enjoy it.

Thats not a dogfight Sunka. Thats a duel.

The problem that I'm seeing is that you have everyone hording one enemy when there's five other enemy fighters in the fight.
During one fight I counted SEVEN friendlies on one enemy 1500yds away from me, while I'm getting ganged 3-1 in a damaged bird I'm barely keeping in the air (after collision number 10 in the first 5-10 minutes I'd been on, btw). SEVEN friendlies close enough to move to assist (I was calling for help for a good minute and a half on range before I finally went down) and not one even acknowledged my comms or considered leaving the conga line.
So far my experience is that the WWI arena is just breeding a mob mentality. At least in the DA you actually DO have guys willing to cover each other if they're in trouble. I just finished an hour of flying, and I spent much of that time clearing 6s and calling out warnings and got maybe...1 in return. I watched 5-6 guys stack up on one con all trying to cut in front of their other "friends" and disregarding the flock of 5-6 fresh enemy entering the fight all within 2000yds.
HTC may as well turn off killshooter and count kills of friendly aircraft, because that's exactly the sort of attitude I'm seeing in there.

DA sounds like the place for you.

Best way to deal with this is the same as in other arenas. Fly towards the big gob of red icons, keep flying a little more, then turn and surround them.

No its not,i want a "dog fight" not dogs fighting,thats why its called a dog fight,two dogs one fight,its how that works,not that i ever did such a thing... . :D

Hi, I'm shuffler, and I'm going to whine in every WW1 thread.

You are slipping hub.

The WWI planes are now enabled in the DA. That's obviously better for your purposes. Go there.
This utopist idea (which seems to have a lot of "supporters") that an arena with multiple players per side could somehow consist of isolated 1vs1s through these "unwritten rules" is absurd.
-
Did get into a very good 3x3 in WWI 2 yesterday. But expect that to be the exception, not the norm.
Also forget whining about HO shots, they happened.
And there are no HO and go planes as WWII had.
Its a teamwork thing, clear 6 of those around you and they'll clear yours.
Steal their kills and they will steal yours.
Too many planes, too much fun to get shook up about losing a kill, a fight, etc.
-
:lol Sunka why don't you get together with Fugitive, he crys about the same thing. The other night he was raggin' on me for the pick. The dude he was on and asked for help, so i jumped on it. I'd do the same for you and him both. Like Wab said, you're looking for a duel not a furball.
Get some SA and look behind you once in a while! Either that, or you and Fugitive need to get special icons that indicate that you don't want to play like the rest of the kids at the playground. :lol Grow up and ask someone for a duel if that's what you want. There is 4.....4 WW1 arenas with a half dozen guys in it with the same interest as you. GO THERE!
But no. You want to come to the playground to fight with the other kids,.... and got violated :mad: You gentlemen need to quit your crying and get back in there and fight!
:rofl :rofl you guys crack me up man! What we got now...10/15 different arenas? And you come to the most populated and go to the biggest mob for a 1vs1 fight :rofl Come on dude! I was in the DA in a P40 and was being ganged. And ganged by perk planes! :furious
I gave them some hell on 200 and went to a different arena.<shrug>
-
What you need to though is ask on 200 if anyone wants to meet you in the middle for 1v1s or smaller fights. I had some great 1v1s with MtnMan last night, I would take 2 fights like that(2 fights I lost too) over a day of furballing in those dogpiles of retards any day.
Half the good sticks from the MA are picking/ganging the crap out of people the other half are getting ganged every sortie because their friendlys are timid in a game....
-
meh it is what it is.
I actually like the chaos :bolt:
-
you want 1 V 1's? go to the AVA. the arden map is up, which is huge and <edit>The WWI <edit> planes are enabled at all bases including Vbases. now you and a friend can go off quietly and beat each other up without too much trouble. if someone shows up to interupt, just politely ask them to stay out of the fight.

Only time you can get a 1 vs 1 in the AvA is when only 2 players are on. Then you will have to find them and some how stop them from running away, but technically, that is a 1 vs 1 :lol

I recognized many of the names in the arena I was in last night.
I also took note of the fact that I was, in about an hour of play time, never once HO'd and if I was in a 1v1 clearly separated from the furball, left alone.
Lovely.
-

I agree. I have had it both ways in the WWI arenas and both are awesome. Further the WWI planes are available in the DA so folks can duel until they puke! I plan on it. You should too. Expecting monogamy in a furball, is like bringing donuts to a Weight Watchers meeting. Just silly.
-
I like it.
All of it.
There are no Ho-n-Go planes like Ghost said.
There are no planes that can "run" away from a fight.
One cannot come in at alt and "run down" any other plane without breaking his own.
I think it's great.
We've gotten a whole other arena (4 actually) to screw around in, 4 more a/c to beat the crap out of each other with, all for the same low low price of $14.95/month.
I've had more fun in the last 2 nights for $00.50/night than I think I've ever had in my life for that price. Best $1.00 I've spent, yet. :rock
Thanks HTC :aok

Oldman I totaly agree. I played in the AvA for a few hours last night and it was really good fun. Thanks to all the AvA staff for sorting this out.

+10 that right there is the answer to a great 1v1 2v2 so on, if you get to close to the furrball between bases its like dogpile on the rabbit, but if you call out on 200 to meet people in the middle its great fun and most will go there alone to, i had 5 fights in a row in the middle and that was the most fun i have had, no worries about getting bounced.

You had to been smoking rocks for that hour.....The HO and Go defiantely does work in this arena problem is it normally turns into a collide. The WW1 arena I was in was filled with the same Lame stuff the WW2 MA has expect more often and harder to get out of. My opinion, I know alot of people like it right now but unless Im doing 1v1s in the middle with someone Im sticking with the MA
-
LMAO !!! You guys are TOO FUNNY :D
This thing aint even be alive for 48 hours and already... "WHAA !!! They aint playing the game the way I want em too!!! :cry :cry :old:
I think its a BLAST in there !!!

I was in whatever the "second" arena is called. First was full.
Wasnt smoking any rocks, but my plane was certainly smoking quite a bit. :D

The HO and Go defiantely does work in this arena
I've ho'd and been ho'd many times in the WWI arena, and the most damage I've dealt or been dealt has been an engine oil hit... HO'ing just really isn't a problem, it's too hard to hit under those conditions.

Im laying low for the most part, waiting for the LW types to migrate back to their usual stomping grounds. In a few weeks these arenas will be habbitated mostly by people truly interested in the era. This is when I expect to get my full enjoyment out of the planes. For now Im just thrashing around trying to figure the rides and weapons out.

Learn to avoid better :aok
Collisions are going to be part of the business with how close you have to get to shoot.
-

These planes are so maneuverable it's silly if you can't avoid hitting someone. Sooner or later most will realize that these planes lack the punch for any sort of H/O attack unless you are VERY accurate.
In the meantime, fix your sig. It looks 8-up and not dress-right :D
Climb to Glory, HOOAH !!!!
-
in the hour or so that Ive been online I had maybe two collides...both I should have avoided but the new'bness got to me.
The one that caught my attention was the shallow dive in the DR1 from about 1500 down to 1000 with engine on idle. Damned engine siezed up and the top wing came off. There was no pulling up. Lots of finesse to learn there.

While I agree that I love a 1 vs 1, Fair fights are for suckers.

Well this was not a cry and i think think it was not worded like one,battel cry and crying are diffrent,for all of you that said crying.And i can see most of the people that posted here against it are all about kills and not skills,guess that's going to be the way it is.
And BTW i don't care about when its just me and 2 or 3 unfriendlys and they fight me,but more then once last night i have 4 on me and 3 of my green guys are doing nothing,but the 3 or 4 cons attack just me,when they could (if wanted) got in 3 diffrent good one on ones.
And i understand many of you that posted here only get kills by gang hording,with no real flying skill,so i can see why you are against staying out of others fights.When you get skills(for them) let me know and we can 1 on 1. :salute

What's worse is when you've got 3-4 enemy on you and the half-dozen friendlies in range to assist are all busy ganging one enemy of their own. As bad as the DA furball area can be, I'll at LEAST say the guys in there are willing to help you out if you're in trouble.

I was online when you were flying in the center of the map doing 1v1s. A general call came out over country channel saying go to the center area for 1v1 and not to interfere. To the best of my knowledge, it was honored by all sides. Though, the furballs were an entirely different matter and affair.

Maybe that can become the new normeal for WWI then..center of map is one on ones and to be left alone,that would be great!

WOW. Everybody sucks but you. Everyone has no skills but you. Everyone is ramming but you. Everyone is having a ball..............but you. Look up "pompous" in the dictionary, (no it's not a picture of you, its a dictionary, with words).
I dislike namecalling of any type, but ya do sound rather childish. 2 days of practice is all anyone has, maybe people are making mistakes, you know those things us less than perfect men do.

You need a couple of wingmen to fly with in a squad. When your buddy is a highlighted white icon its easy to help each other out. You can't expect organisation from chaotic situations unless you put in the effort to make friends. Sure someone might dive in and clear your six one time, but they might choose to help their wingman first. Oh, and another thing, dont fly into 4 enemy cons alone if you dont intend to fight them alone. And remember, in this arena, 2.0k is not close. Someone fighting 2.0k away is in another sector as far as you are concerned in this era of flying.

I think the reverse side of your argument is that those who rant and rave for 1 on 1 fights ina furball environment lack the 'skills' to furball succesfully, and it annoys them?
I (many of us) have the 'skills', when do you want to die? :) Tell me where and when, and I'm there.
That does not mean that I should be scornfull of furballing, it's bloody good clean fun.
S!
-
I think problem solved and we might have found a good arrangement.Tonight i met a red guy in the middle of the map,and we started to engage i noticed he had buddy's around but they stayed out just circling over head.I won the battel and the next guy cam down,same thing happend and next guy came down,i was lucky enough to win that and asked to be left home for gas,one guy chased but the rest let me go and i made it home.A big Salute :salute to the them guys that respected a good fight,i had a blast.
when do you want to die? :) Tell me where and when, and I'm there.

lol now anywhere in anything. i see your on line,pm me if you are so good you can garante you will shoot me down.

Yah, I think I'm gonna take that approach for the time being...folks arent remotely evening up sides, and the 8:1, dont take a risk, ignore the harder targets-furball-lake mentality is prevalent (But it's STILL quite fun :aok)

True statement...it wasnt always 1v1 for me in the center but at least it wasnt cluttered with random planes
-
Oh, and another thing, dont fly into 4 enemy cons alone if you dont intend to fight them alone.
What makes you think I flew into four cons alone? I singled out one so I wasn't joining the horde on the one enemy. The others were late arrivals who decided to join my 1v1 rather than help out THEIR friend getting ganged.
-
Oh my, prepare to eat some humble pie. It won't be so terribly bad tho, Bat will be a gent.
It's true, he's always so good at telling people his victories were due to random sunspot activity or variations in Earth's magnetic field, and that it really wasn't the case that he simply beat you like a drum. I've never met anyone who is as talented as Batfink at sending you plummeting to earth in flames with a smile on your face.

they must have been within visual range when yous tarted the fight, either that or you were having some very long one on ones? Dunno, i just think if we embrace the chaotic madnesss that a furball is, it has to be fun. I'v purposely flown into a sea of red alone and come out alive with a bag of kills. I've also died many times just crashing into to a tree for no reason without cons around. I've been helped by teammates, i've cherry picked off team mates six. Expect nothing and appreciate the help if it happens. For me personally there is nothing to be gained from expecting some kind of honour in the middle of a furball. At the corret venue, like the DA, or the quiet center of the map sure, but in range of the furball? Anything goes. *shurg*
Thanks for over generous praise Oldman, Sunbat, it takes one to know one!
Salute

lol I was not talking to you ,I'm still waiting that pm,but if you are that good i want nothing more then to get in to some good one on ones with you so as i may learn your awesomeness.You can pm me and i will be happy to set up times.

I'd like to see some sort 4 on 4/ 5 on 5 tourneys in one of the lesser-used arenas...that could be a blast--would be far more representative of the era. I could do that all day and never go into the MA agin

oops I completely missed that post you made,sorry and yes my in game name is Sunka I'm usually on like 7 hours from now,but I'm happy to go DA or w/e anytime someone wants to and I'm home,love to learn any new tricks anyone has. :aok
And yes it is a game but some i fight (very few) are awesome about how they fly,MtnMan for one and my trainer,i watch that guy fly anything and fly it really well.
