Yep, I heard ya saying that last night Dicho.  I logged off to figure it out, turned out the mic jack was pulled out in my soundcard.  But by the time I had it squared away, the wife ack went off and I never got back online. And I was having fun in that zeke too.  :(

Thanks for letting me know.

I beg to differ.  They've been nothing but nice to me all week, and give what they get as far as attitude.  They know how to fly and fight, and are a tough pair to defeat.  Just because they seem to be able to kill everyone fairly easily shouldn't be a reason to keep blasting them here or in the text buffers.

The big difference between them and "US" is they care about the kill, we care about the fight.  I dont let getting picked bother me in there as much anymore, even though its the reason i dont fly the MA anymore or MW as much.  I wrote this in another thread and ill put it here as well.  Ive found my time in the AvA has greatly improved my fighter skills and ive been playing this game for nearly 10 years.  I would love to meet up with any of the regulars in either the MA or MW arenas and work on wingman tactics.  Ive never done this before and i think would be the best counter for the "new guys" tactics.  Its not exactly the type of play that i was looking for in the AvA but then again ive found myself flying all new planes and learning new tricks so i think it wouold be a good addition for myself.  Also we want more squads to join and like others have pointed out they will use these tactics against us in the arena.

I care about the fight more than the kill.  The other night, I merged with a high zeke while flying my spit5.  The fight lasted 15 seconds and he ended up in the tower, then logged.  It was a fight, but I can't help it that he made a bad move and I made a good one.

Do different from the "new guys".  Cut 'em some slack.  :salute

i didn't blast em at all.

 what i saw was them hanging a couple miles off of the coast....catching the axis doods whilst still accelerating, or climbing. it didn't appear as if they were letting them get to fighting speed.
 i actually backed off, as i wasn't gonna make it a 3-1.......we;ll see,,,,,i'm still keeping an open mind....just was sayin what i saw....

if i see em doing the same again, i'll suggest that they back off, and let the other guys get some air under their wings, so as to let them actually have a chance to fight........

i was wondering about that......i thought i saw a couple of times i thought you shoulda shot.

 there was at least 2x that i came over the top, and should've been able to give myself a shot on you, but getting that slow in that wind was a bad bad idea. it spun me 'round, and threw me off.
 the first time, i managed to keep my eye on ya.....and the second time....i think it hit me a third time, and i lost ya. next time i saw ya(as i ws asking that approchign friendly to stay out of the fight) was when you were on my six, removing parts of my airplane.  :aok

I got killed over and over Tuesday night because I kept upping from a CV that had Axis birds airborne just a couple of miles away. It wasn't the Axis pilots at fault for killing me over and over. It was my fault, I had little time to spare and didn't want to up from another location because I just wanted to fight. I was easy pickings and I don't blame them at all for taking advantage of it. There's nothing wrong with caring about the kill more than the fight. There's nothing wrong with caring about the fight more than the kill. However if you care more about the fight and lose... It's not the other guys fault and caring about the fight more than the kill doesn't make you superior to the guy that wants to kill you. It's a game based on WWII air combat. NEWS BREAK!!! There was very few good fights in WWII aerial combat. The majority of the kills were because somebody bounced a guy who didn't see them or somebody made a mistake and the other guy took advantage of it.

I think most of you guys mean well and want a good arena where you can have fun and enjoy the game. Your positive attitudes are a great thing. However don't overdo this attitude that you're a better person because you place value on the fight itself over winning the fight. If there's no winner there was no fight. If there's no fight there's no winner. The vast majority of the time if you lose you made a mistake, you were not paying attention, you made a bad decision, or you simply got outflown. That doesn't make the guy that won the fight evil or less of a person than you. One of the things I dislike most about the Main Arenas is the amount of complaining people do when they get shot down. If dweeby behavior shot you down then your flying isn't up to par with dweeby behavior. I got my clock cleaned over and over the other night I was out numbered at times low on energy and alt because I'd just taken off and I died over and over. I didn't get on 200 and complain or call out anybody's tactics as dweeby or underhanded. Because each of my deaths were my own fault. There's a big difference in this arena compared to most. It's called historically limited planesets. Usually both sides have a distinct advantage and disadvantage. People should use your advantage against the other guy's disadvantage. Don't be afraid to embrace the kill, it's the icing on the cake to the fight you enjoy so much. Above all don't make this arena one where winning the fight is something to be frowned upon. This isn't a mamasboy soccer league where there's no score and everybody goes out for ice cream after because both teams won. It's competition and it's okay to win.   :aok

what i was getting at, is that we like the fight. i know you do too, as you kilt me many times diving into situations you shouldn't have. i got you a couple of times the same way. it's the fight....not the kill.

 last night, i only had one fight in the time i had. it was against grumpy. he kilt me, but that was irrelevent, as the fight itself was a blast(pun intended).

 us hypocrites(  :D ) have been in that situation before, where we'd get people anxious to fight us, and merging with little speed and even less alt. we backed off. did this more than once. that was in mw and lw. a few of us here in ava have done that too.
 last night, they were killin grumpy over nd over...and when it was mentioned, they landed their kills and logged.

 i don't care that i die a horrible cartoon death. all i care about is that i'm allowed to have a fun fight with you in the process. that's all i'm trying to get at.

 as said before....i'm still not blasting them, nor will i berate them on open channel. i will do my best to try to help them assimilate into this playground that you guys work so dam hard to give to the rest of us. i don't want to chase people away, but rather i'd LOVE to bring more fun fights into the arena. that is why i gave them a clean slate in my mind when i read the "new intelligence" thread.
 i still will.

 i'm actually a pretty nice guy, although i do come off as a sarcastic dickhead sometimes.  :D :aok

CAP a few years ago in this arena we had one side that complained about how the other flew and fought. Side two also complained about how side one flew and fought. The best fighting was on chnl 200 and this forum. The net result was an empty arena broken friendships and canceled AH accounts. Just my opinion but the complaining about another guys flying is worse for the arena than the actual dweeby flying. I'd hate to see that happen again when just when people are starting to have fun and numbers are building again. Although a couple of you are getting along too well and I'm thinking you have this place confused with match.com  :D

Just so you know I like the kill. I couldn't care less how good the fight was if I lost it. I'm not going to feel bad if I kill you and failed to warn you or follow any preset rules you happen to be carrying in your head. I'll <S> you should I win or lose after every fight unless you were in a Spitfire. I just can't salute those guys. Just remember though if my 52 year old eyes and refelxes shot you down... You really screwed up and calling me a dweeb makes you look like a dweebette.  ;)

I don't like the HO shot and I don't like to be vultched on the runway. Other than that everything is fair game.

If I fly into an area with a bunch of bandits, I expect to be engaged by a bunch of bandits.

If I come across a 1 v 1, I may stand off and watch for other bandits but really, should you never clear a countryman's six?

As far as being picked, I thought BNZ was the best tactic for a lot of aircraft types.

It's  nice that there is some thought to how your play affects others here, but we can't force this into a gentleman's dogfight dueling only arena.

The AvA is a different arena that appeals to those with an appreciation of history ie more mature.

If you look at the members page on the AvA website you will the majority of members are in their mid 30's to 50's

That makes me feel pretty good, I finally have a bunch of friends in my age range  :lol.

It is an advantage we have here "attitude" wise.

Still not sure they have changed their stripes. Got a pm from the DA yesterday, about them interferring in some squad training and were asked to leave but continued.  The squad ended up having to go to the TA.  If this is indeed the case, they won't get any support from me and will get quite the opposite.  Going to look further into it.

they weren't too bad the otgher night in the ava.

 i never fought the 2 of them together though. i was setting up hoey for an attack, when he rolled off, and ho'd crazy8s. go figure, right. i watched it.....crazy held fire, till he started taking hits, then returned the favor. this let me saddle up on hoey, as he blew all of his e trying to get back onto crzy.....when i missed, and he realized he was in deep doodoo, he dove for speed, and then it only took me a few till he made enough of a mistake tht i nailed him with a 37mm.  :devil
 vultchy, the only fight i had with him not starting on my six, was when he dove on crazy8s, trying to rtb damaged.....i tried to get there fast enough, but couldn't....he got him, then used that dam 109 to get 'round on my arse, and whamo....i was down.

 neither one of em was bad attitude-wise while i was in there though.........

Cap I do remember that I am just thinking they are living up to their game names thats all ashame I am no Ace in this game but I think they are pretty good sticks but then again when I get my but handed to me your all good Sticks.  I came to AvA cause I got bored of the MA and needed a change. I been bouncing in out of this game for the last 15 yrs started in AW and worked for Kesmai as a Game Op where we would do shifts and babysit the arena's. We had the Powers to boot and ban players for 24 hours or more when they did not Follow the Rules. I just usually blow them off anymore and whenever I am in the sky film is always rolling. AvA has a lot of Potential I think and I am glad to be a part of it and meeting new friends.

Salute all

dam dude..that sucks.

 i got a 92 dodge ram van 3500 that was hit by a deer in the drivers door. again, luckily, it didnt' come through the window.

 as for having a bad night........sometimes this game lets out frustrations, sometimes it makes em worse. i love this game too much to stay away too long, although i was logging in less before, because i didn't wanna deal with the typical bs in the main arenas.
 
 i tried the ava, and although i did extremely poorly(not much new there), i was hooked. these fights, when we can get into turning, and exchanging advantage to disadvantage, and back again......THESE are the fights that those in the mains don't know what they're missing.

i'll take one good fight in the ava over a dozen average fights in the mains any night of the week.

 as for your car......although i'm kinda far away, is there anything i can do to help?

they weren't in tonight, and it was a massivly fun night.

BUG....if you're still reading this thread.......i ho'd ya on that one fight up at around 14k. i thought i had an angle, and took the shot. on film, it showed as an outright ho.

 i am sorry about that dood. it was not intentional, and i hope you know me well enough to know i mean that.  :salute

Hehe, I was wondering who that was.  :)  Yeah I knew coming out of my turn it might look like it wasn't a HO to the other guy.  No need to apologize, and I'm sure it wasn't intentional. 

Was having fun last night, I should of got on sooner because I only had time for a couple after I logged on.

yea, it was me.......saw ya there, and figured "friggin awesome shot!", squeezed the trigger, and saw hits. i mainly watched that film, 'cause there was doubt afterwards, and froze it when i got to that point, jumped into your cockpit....and sure enough.....you had me right in your sights too.......i friggin hate doing that almost as badly as i hate having it done to me.  :salute

That sucks bro.. If a 10 pointer hit my mustang I'd be toast. 

Cap and Bug..

I'm not going to jump on a high horse and demand everybody play the way I do but your discussion is exactly what I've come to expect from the AVA.  When the scenario calls for it cap a base and try to take it, HO's are lame, picking is lame, hovering over a field and capping somebody just taking off is lame, ganging a single contact is lame, and if somebody breaks out of the fight and heads home let them be.  I like it that way.

If I have to adjust my 'style' (such that it is) I will and I will be just as happy.  But I won't intentionally HO, pick, vultch, or attempt to take out a base a sector away when I'm on and nobody else is because that screws with the good fights that will come later and I really don't want to see that behavior become the norm for the AVA but, if it does, I'll adjust.  It just wont be as much fun.   

Pick me, HO me, conga line me, vultch me, I'm just going to think you're a rectal orifice and I'll ignore you until you either change your stripes or go away. 

All of that crap aside it's going to happen whether you're an uber pilet or not.  Not intentional? cool.. stuff happens.  Repeatedly disrespecting other players because 'It's my 15 dollars and I can do what I want' is a great way to get in my rectal orifice book.   

I'm here to have fun and attempt, as best I can, to provide fun for everybody else.  Trust me if you're laughing AT me you're more than likely laughing WITH me. 

Of course that's only my opinion.. I could be wrong.  <S>

Just some thoughts.  There are people on the planet who lead miserable, unproductive lives. For some unexplainable reason, they have a burning urge to try and make others around them miserable through inconsiderate and self serving behavior.  Fortunately, they are an insignificant, small part of the world that most of us would never be exposed to where not for the Internet (that Al Gore invented.......JUST KIDDING!  :D). 

Now, we have the AvA that has evolved into an incredibly fun experience enjoyed by those are into treating each other with a basic level of respect and consideration.  And then, there are those with miserable lives who have a need to spread their trash in the AvA.  Why they seem to concentrate on some and ignore others, who knows?  Bottom line, they don't contribute anything productive in here, or out in the world. Pretty sad.  Just as they are most likely isolated by their behavior out in the world, so they should be in here.

Last week one of them said in the text buffer, "I can't help it that I play well".   A very telling statement in that he doesn't get the "play well" part.  He and his cohorts always have the choice to turn their unacceptable behavior around. Until they do, it's best for the majority that they play with themselves.

Maybe if their parents had just played with themselves we wouldn't be having this problem...  :D

Seriously they just don't get under my skin, or at least they haven't yet. Maybe I'm just too busy squinting for dots to read the entire text buffer. :headscratch:

i read the text buffer intermittantly on climb out, and when not in enemy territory.

 i forget it entirely, when i get into a combat though./

Oh, they don't get under my skin.  It's kinda like when out fishing, camping, etc when the mosquitos show up. They are an inconvenience in the midst of enjoying life.  Now, when the skunk wanders into camp, that's a whole different situation :bolt:

they weren't too bad the otgher night in the ava.

 i never fought the 2 of them together though. i was setting up hoey for an attack, when he rolled off, and ho'd crazy8s. go figure, right. i watched it.....crazy held fire, till he started taking hits, then returned the favor. this let me saddle up on hoey, as he blew all of his e trying to get back onto crzy.....when i missed, and he realized he was in deep doodoo, he dove for speed, and then it only took me a few till he made enough of a mistake tht i nailed him with a 37mm.  :devil
 vultchy, the only fight i had with him not starting on my six, was when he dove on crazy8s, trying to rtb damaged.....i tried to get there fast enough, but couldn't....he got him, then used that dam 109 to get 'round on my arse, and whamo....i was down.

 neither one of em was bad attitude-wise while i was in there though.........

my last 3 visits into the Ava resulted in getting ganged 3 on 1, you can guess who the 3 were, never had one chance to engage, they always jumped me just after taking off or just plain HO shot, after 3 quick deaths i logged and i hope that don't become the Norm in there

it won't.

i logged in around 9'ish last night.......was very slow at first...then for about 2 hours, there were great fights.

thebug, bunnies, bear, crazy8s, danielts, and a few other regulars were in there. usranger even paid a visit, along with twizzty, who seemed to leave early.

 it was evenly matched sides all night long, and i did a much more effecient job of spreading aircraft parts whilst piloting the p-39q, than i could ever hope to do in my ole 38 o doom.

I agree, the normal crew in there is fun, and far removed from the MA flying that I now normally avoid.  I'm afraid that a few bad apples will, keep a lot of the good apples out however.  After reviewing the films before mentioned, it's no doubt they were simply trying to cause grief in the DA.  No reason to believe they aren't in the AvA to do the same.
