He is requesting a "feature" to give Spitfires, N1Ks and A6Ms "Kills" while Fw190s, P-51s and such would mostly get "Picks".  Essentially he is saying that a kill obtained in a stall speed turn is more valid than one obtained when you are going 100mph faster than the target.

Bad idea.

I have a film here the other night of a gent coming in from 15000 feet, I was fresh off the deck and still accelerating.  After about 5 minutes of BnZ, I finally had the guy stall out in front of me doing something stupid, I was at 280MPH.  From the beginning of the fight right up until his last pass he was high E on me, when I killed him, he was maybe traveling 50-80MPH.   I would then get a "Pick" for properly defending against one?   :noid

You guys realize it's a joke, right? I thought it was pretty funny, well played with pseudo code and everything.

The last two threads I've looked at have had these pictures, should I expect to be seeing these a lot more in the upcoming days?  :confused:

One should not be punished for any technique predominately used in WWII including Ho's and vulching (AKA yo-yo etc. etc.).  :old:

I could say it like this too:

if ( Attack.method = USED_IN_WWII ) {
  Execute.noProblemo;
}

Why "predominately" - are you implying that other used WWII techniques should be punished? Forgive me if I misunderstand, english is not my first language.  :cheers:

Maybe I misread the request as a technique that was used in WWII but highly frowned on in the game.  A Ho is such a technique.

No biggie.  Its just a game.  :aok


Quote
if ( Attack.method == USED_IN_WWII ) {

Thanks.  I program in a ton of languages and sometimes forget which operands are proper until the debugger reminds me.  :rofl

Then again if Attack.method returns an Integer and USED_IN_WWII is a numeric constant?  :rolleyes:

So true - we have the freedom to play as we wish within the boundaries set by HTC.
I do believe that freedom extends to a little friendly forum tease of certain play styles.   :)

No biggie.  Its just a game.  :aok

Indeed  :aok
