I had just had a long drawn out fight with some b24s that left my mustang with 4 guns and many holes. I thought my sortie was all but over. Then I noticed a Hog at 20k+ and decided to give chase. It took a few minutes to get up to altitude and then this is what happened next.

S! to SFOX for a great fight. One that would never have happened if we handle an AFK situation in the obvious way. Also it's extremely funny when they get back and notice you (or not in this case for a minute :p ).
Just a bit of light hearted fun to make a change on the forum of late.

haha nice. Fun fight to watch.
Love how you flew formation :P
-
I always though the best way to deal with an AFK enemy pilot was to shoot most of their control surfaces away, and then leave the area. This way they come back to the keyboard thinking everything is ok, until they try to maneuver the plane. Then they will be like :headscratch: :furious.
:salute

lol BR, that was Redtop's favorite tactic.
-
he likes to afk alot lol.ive killed him while he was afk a few times.but hes a damn good stick in the corsair
-
I always fly wingman with an afk pilot, funniest thing in game when they sit back down and notice you. :banana:
They never stop to think you didn't already blast them for a reason most yank so hard on their controls I wonder if they break...... :rofl
-
Thats my favorite too Sonic :lol
I asked SFOX if he minded me posting this video and he said 'go for it, should make a nice thread for a change'. Kind of fun especially since he gave me such a hard time when he came back. What he didnt know was I tried to bailed out to award him the kill just before he got picked at the end. My engine was dead and I had 1 working gun left!
He did really well to move that hog out of my way like he did. Very fun.

Well, I'd love to be able to tell when a guy is AFK. I'm sneaky, how am I to know if I have snuck up on him, he has poor SA, or he is AFK ?
So, I just shoot em. Besides, whenever I take their wing off their aircraft "turns" so I figure they were at the controls. :bolt:

forget who but two or three months ago some typhoon was flying AFK and i pulled up alongside in my lala and flew with him for 5 minutes :lol for some reason SFOX's name comes to mind but i may be wrong :rofl
-
I think somebody used to do that a lot in the middle of fights.... Betty, perhaps?
Would be on afk auto climb right through a hotly contested sector. I'd follow and pick the typh off a few times inside an hour lol.

I was inspired by this thread last night, as I was headed toward a large red bardar at ridiculous alt in my Ta-152 I happened across a P40E at about 20k alt with a droptank on autoclimb. I dove in and was barrel rolling to get into wingman position when wings started waggling, the droptank flew off, and he put it into a flat spin hauling on his controls. I cut throttle and rolled in on him, giving him a half second burst and pulling off before I lost too much alt, figuring surely I'd done enough to put him down. Apparently I didn't take off anything vital, as I leveled out I saw him trailing smoke and RTBing.
Much more entertaining than just taking A Free Kill.

I normally do not even read or respond to forums but with a thread like this how can I help myself :). Great film and great fight! Man I can see all the flaws in my flying on that one. Yes, yes it’s true I am AFK allot. I get to talking with my wife or doing the many things that pull you away from the keyboard and this is not the only fight where I came back to fight off someone on my 6. I am surprised I didn't do my normal 6 check. Mechanic I am sorry to say I mostly do not film my flights so I don’t believe I would have this one. Bar the Typhoon was not me :). Thanks for the post I will be checking my 6 more often<S> to you all. :bolt:

:aok :lol

SFOX salute! One of my favorite defeats of the year. You flew excellently, I don't know where those flaws you talk about are. I hope the message that this gives to some people is it is all about the FIGHT not the kill.
-
there's no wrong way to handle an afk guy. to me going letting some guy that is afk get away is giving him the advantage to climb to whatever altitude he wants unmolested. sometimes I have let them go, but mostly I kill them. it's not really any different than picking somebody who's there but unaware of your presence.

lol, who said anything about letting them get away?
-
:lol Well done Fink and Fox ... :salute

Had an AFK'er or so I thought last night over A40 (I believe it was a rook base?) - was in a N1k zooming around and blew up a few planes trying to bomb GV's - I see a 109K4 up and followed him for a while, 5k then 10k - I laughed as I figured he was AFK - I turn home as my gas was running low, he turns back into me surprisingly to make a HO shot on me then zoom back away, when I seen him running I turned again back home - finally out of Gas I made a nice dive for home, with the same 109k4 diving after me spraying everything he had.
Sorry I didn't find out who he was, surprisingly you let someone go 3 times and they believe it means "turn back in and ho pass at 400mph then run".

Actually quite funny to me, maybe you dream of whine and cheese to much :cool:
