Lately I've been flying around and have been noticing 200 more and more. I have come to the conclusion this game has more stereotypes then any other game I've ever played, so I figured why not waste my time at work and jolt down a few stereotypes I've come across.
Arm Chair General
I'm sure we have all seen this, usually an underage with a high pitch voice whose wing pylons generally hold 2 x clearasil sticks and a drop tank.
Usually on the range/country channel trying to "general" the war even though everyone else has already .squelch.
Hipster
Mainly the Hipsters believe one plane beats everything else in the sky and go full blown olympic retard trying to defend such plane. Sure we all are fond of a certain aircraft, however its not a religion its a cartoon aircraft.
Score Tards
In case you are wondering, you are only looked up to by those flying with clearasil sticks. These generally only vulch, hide in the hordes - and pick from above the clouds. You generally will never find them turning and burning, god forbids you shoot one down then its a mass execution on 200 about how you HO'ed/Picked/Rammed.
Whiners
Some men are still stuck in basements while the parents live upstairs, sitting behind a computer and flaming just about everyone on the internet. You can easily find them on 200, complaining about everything when I mean everything I mean everything. Bad part about this group is the fact most are older then 18 and sometimes laugh when I see a Squeaker govern himself more mature then these tards. Even worse they are capable of breeding.
Fun Police
This group tends to enjoy busting a good furball up by bombing an entire base to oblivion. Why? Because the fight that was once their way suddenly turned opposite and now they decide to seek revenge. Same for those during a good GV fight, they get killed in their little M8 and decide its time to bomb every GV in sight.
Tards
Generally the ones who think they are the best pilot in the game, and just about 98% of the Arena can vouch otherwise. Not talking about an actual good sticks, but someone who shoots the mouth on 200 and ends up not evening going to the DA. Usually this group would have either a horrible K/D ratio and just shoot the mouth, or sit in the hordes to rack up a 50 K/D and claim to be anything good.
Class Acts
We all know this very small or tiny group of pilots who are just outstanding people to fly around. Willing to help you any chance possible even if it means they get killed, or just willing to help you period with some films or trip to the TA.
Other 20% of the Arena
Mainly just guys who get off work, up a plane with a beer in hand and really don't care if they score 50 K/D or take 20 bases. Frankly I find some of the best pilots in this class, and generally a mixture of other stereotypes, but nothing that stands out. Someone willing to drive you supplies, however will whine ocasionally if Ho'd.
Not sure what other Stereotypes I've seen, but being bored at work during downtime I figured someone might get a laugh out of this hopefully.
Have a great day, and ser in the skies!

Wow such a short period in our game and you've nutshelled it.... How do people do it?

Nice to see nothings changed in the several years I haven't been playing the game.

Reading the forums for the past few weeks trying to pick up tips and such, it seems people act even more tard on the BBS then in game. Pretty much afraid to ask questions on here for fear I will be Tased by the one named Skuzzy.
-
Another couple groups to add to your already spectacular list.
Shaders
These experienced players take breaks and then come back as completely new players and new personas. Sometimes, they even pretend to be newbies and "fast learners". They typically don't last long though.
Fantasizers
This small group of players sometimes get so wrapped up in cartoon land, coupled with their pathological habit of telling lies, starts to tell outlandish tales of real life excursions and success to their toon friends. For example, owning F-18s, P-51s, and even being members of the CIA.
Most times, the same players fall under both categories.

Have no fear, the Help and Support forums above are the niche for questions! :aok
-
I do not believe I have ever zapped anyone for asking a question.
Then again, I am not opposed to it. :)
MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Also
Stereotypers
People who enjoy placing everyone else in a box with a name on it.
:t :bolt:

Wow... that's... really? How do we know they were lying though? Maybe they let it slip they were in the CIA and were then 'retired' and replaced by a double who denies everything, but is quietly monitoring all those who heard the slip?
:noid
Thanks, Grizz. I won't be sleeping for a week now. And for no reason at all, I would just like to mention that I have no idea who or what Grizz is talking about.
Butcher- Help and support forum is the spot for questions. People who reply in there are generally trying to help.
I wonder if there's another stereotype in here... perhaps
The Anti-Whiner
This is someone who sees the same guys whining about their usual whine subjects and either eggs them on, or tells them to suck it up and quit whining. Generally causes a lot of traffic on channel as they begin arguing over whether they're 'whining about whining' and which is worse.
Wiley.
-
You forgot to mention the play-style whiners. Furballers whine about bombers shutting down a field and think what bombers do is a waste of time. Bombers whine about furballers not helping move the map or providing escort and think pure furballs are something for the DA only. GV drivers whine about ruined fights when anything with wings and a red icon fly over them when they aren't in a wirb.

Not a shade, met a member of my squad during Sun 'n Fun Air show a week after I started playing.

whiners are not sterotypes they come with every game. And fun police arent always what the sterotypes some bomb groups actually bomb to prep it for capture, not to stop a horde or fight.

'cept I'm usually drinkin' whiskey. :)
Truth is, a lot of people can fit a few different stereotypes, depending on the circumstances.....
I've been called a whiner on 200 'cause I give someone grief for HOing me, but anymore now I just stay quiet (unless it's just me and many of them and they still HO), or laugh at 'em on 200 for ganging 3, 4 or more on just little old me!
I guess you could add:
Taunter
Someone who uses 200 as a way to try to p!ss off an opposing player enough that he leaves his timid flying style and tries to actually come fight, or turn around and come back to fight if opposing player is running from fight. Also know as "Baiter"

I heard about shades the other day, I am assuming its a person with a second account and using it to score pad. Ok I get the point, however
score means nothing here, and you don't win a prize at the end of the month for shooting down your shade 200 times.
So what the hell is the purpose of a shade? I just don't get it, I feel like i'm cheating as I am only paying $15 a month, last night was Snapshot and friday is FSO, so much for so little. I used to think paying $100 for War in the pacific AE that it was under priced.
Only thing that eludes me, is I've been around sim's and board type war games all my life, I never heard of air warrior or Aces high.
Someone mentioned it was advertised on military channel but I'm to poor to afford anything after channel 100.

Wow, Butcher. I gotta give it you. After observing your scores I am impressed that you picked this game up so fast. You must be a ex-fighter pilot in real life...
-
Most people have a little episode in each of those categories, I think the "20%" category is actually much bigger. The loud ones make it seem smaller, but I think most guys are generally pretty cool and enjoy themselves most of the time.

Sounds like you are talking about a particular player?... hmm? Some even say that they are creating their own flight simulator. :noid

Only flight game I flew was Falcon 4.0 and Il-2, basic flight mechanics arn't at all impossible to figure out, however once I start a turn fight I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Fighter Jock
Feels he has mastered the art of online fighter pilotry and has placed himself upon a thrown of unarguable dominance with gleaming rays of golden light beaming from envying minion souls below him.
however his proud sheets of indestructible cranal armor are weak as the tarter formed on his rotten teeth. The masses truly shun his pseudo mania as he falls short of true comradery which defines the comunity.

Add to the list:
WW2 History Geeks
Guys who spend a huge amount of their time reading WW2 history books, watching old episodes of "World at War", and crawling around on the internet looking for information on every possible variation of every aircraft or GV we might possibly see in AH. These guys will drive hundreds of miles to attend an airshow or visit a museum if it includes any WW2 aircraft. Easily identifiable in the MA because they will fly a wide variety of odd rides or subtypes "just to see what it was like". Stick quality varies and can be extremely dangerous if cornered in a ride that few people have ever seen or flown against, because these are the guys that just spent the last month learning everything about it.
OK I confess. Add me to this category...
-
then there's the
"fighters" those who enjoy a fight now matter the odds, good chance you wont see them vulching or spawn camping..but most likely you'll ether find them low surrounded by red guys or above the hourde wrecking Havoc .
you know when you meet them in the air, you are in for a fight no matter what :aok

FURBALLCENTRAL.COM PRESENTS: ACES HIGH PILOT RANKINGS!
Rank any pilot you wish from AH, in the following classes! Much more detailed ranking at the site!
[Class 1] fluffluffluff'n Dweebs: fluffluffluff'n dweebs: These "pilots" have no idea how to fly and their first kill is probably a proxie of someone trying to vulch them. Their first contact with other pilots looks something along the lines of ''''''///@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%SFA@#%%!@!!. They never stop getting vulched, other players from the other classes always like to see these guys log on. If they dont get some training or help soon they usually lose interest or get pissed off and leave the game alltogether.
[Class 2] Plain old Dweebs: They have figured out how to get a kill and usually fly around and try to head on every enemy plane they see. They often become either a buff or ground vehichle "artist" and usually are asking "does anyone need a gunner?". They also tend to become a poser, and follow around some of the better pilots picking off the wounded. They usually try to start a squad and then ask anyone on the roster, whether they know them or not to join.
[Class 3] Vulch/Alt/Gang Dweebs: These pilots have learned that the easiest way to get a kill is to always have the advantage. The only real rope they know is to go up and stalll, zoom the enemy, go up and stall, and continue that process thinking they are kicking arse. They can almost always be found when and where their country has numbers, regardless of where pilots are actually needed on the map. If they some how find themselves in a "fair fight" without an advantage, they will run until they do have it.....
[Class 4] Furballers: When Class 3 has learned that nobody really respects the way they fly, they usually will fall into this class and prove themselves worthy. They will go into a fight no matter what. This class hates BnZers and would rather die in a 5 on 1 then land 8 kills. Their only drawback is they tend to be the pilots fighting at a bottomless pit in the middle of the map while their country is being overrun on another part of the map. Yet they are flying for fun instead of numbers. They have found the true sence of the word "FURBALL". I respect this class just as much as Class 6.
[Class 5] ACE (Alt Monkey): This class knows how to manage E and how to use ACM to the point where they are just about unkillable. Any time they die they usually come up with an excuse like "the phone rang". They will never admit they uplifted up. Just a little different then Class 3, they are both devoted to their own ranks and stats, but Aces do have more skills than just running to get out of a jam. Unfortunately for their contrymen they use their skills to pad their stats rather than to win the war.
[Class 6] Vet: These pilots you will usually find dieing for anyone. They can pork, kill, BnZ, rope, just as long as it gets the job done. They may be notorious for their fighter, but they could be found anywhere. In a vehicle, in a goon, jabo, bombing, defending bad odds, whatever needs done. They are there to have fun with their squadies and teamates. These pilots recognize skill and are usually the most benificial to their country. They like to go up against the pilots from classes 3 4 and 5.

well boys I've been flying AH since tour 75 April 2006 (original call sign max63) , i had the pleasure of meeting / hanging out with Butcher at the Sun n Fun fly in for the day , as far as I'm concerned he's as new as they come , the only difference he has extensive knowledge of and in the virtual skies and i might add has great knowledge of real war-birds , a lot of the questions he's asked in regards to AH have been somewhat newbish but overall has a very good understanding of the game , i think if ya look at the amount of hours he's flown since joining AH , you'll see its a little more excessive than your typical newb , but since his business allows him to take advantage of the game then god bless em , so in conclusion he's a stand up guy and pretty damn funny , glads he's flying AH <S>
maxy
hehe just noticed , i don't post much on the forums

Why am I being brought into this shade discussion? All I said was that the OP's "original" post was just a regurgitation of the one that first appeared for AW and then later adapted for AH. I don't give a rat's bellybutton if he's a shade or not.

Nah. Srsly, I've seen you in action and have been impressed. I should have said "one" of the best though because there are several that are in the top tier. You have never gotten one of my shades but you got so close I felt I had to cease and desist. You used logical triangulation to start to zero in which I found to be impressive.
Don't be getting the big head tho. :D
