the other night just pushed me...I was fighting 4 guys..... I get a PM about some squadies ganging someone...how I am just as bad as everyone else that gangs....he was actually blaming me for what 2 from my squad where doing...I wasn't even anywhere near them..... :rolleyes:
so I said screw it and rolled the K4 then the spit 16....I got 40 kills and died 3 times.....they didn't like me before they are gonna really hate me now :t
-
Yup, I have been in spits, la7's, and jets much more often lately as well, in fact I got to 22 kills in my 262 last night, 1 re arm...but then i lost an engine and got ganged :bhead :aok

Welcome to the dark side. Everyone reaches the point where they simply accept the fact that the Main Arena is a free for all. Anything goes, anything can and will happen, and when you first stop caring how anyone else plays or what anyone else does, you can finally log in and fully enjoy the game for what it is.
Structure? Special events. FSO, Scenarios, Snapshots, KOTH any number of regularly scheduled events each having a different level of immersion and restrictions.
You are on your own in the Mains, no one will ever play how you want them to play or expect them to play. To have an imaginary expectation of what people will say or do will never turn out well and will always disappoint you. If a group gets together to defend the kingdom from the horde, Great!! If not, no lost sleep here, simply don't care. The map will reset and all that territory lost will be recovered. I shoot someone and they don't like the way I shot them, who cares, I was shooting them not inviting them over for thanksgiving dinner. If I was concerned about what they might say or think about me, I wouldn't have my fragile little ego up in the virtual sky playing with guns. Game has 2 levels, pleasant or irrelevant. The negative wasted BS just isn't worth the little time I get to actually play so it doesn't get my attention.
I hate surprises. If I expect someone to face shoot me, or ram me, or bomb my GV, or pork my base, or any number of things that will spoil my flight I will work tirelessly to avoid those situations. Then, when it doesn't happen, I'll be surprised and pleased, and never disappointed in someone's actions again.

I always knew the MA was a free for all...I still flew with standards...I didn't "expect" it from others...
I do know just because you can do something does not mean you should.....IE 10 or more on one con....
I know I still wont be a part of that...my flying style wont change so much.... I will still most often be by myself or with a couple squadies around..but I will not leave if a bunch of green guys show up like I used to..and now I will just be in a plane that will truly dominate the gang....
I did the FSO for a long time...my satellite connect makes it to unpredictable to do it now a days...they were some awesome times.

Never before had I had that many kills in a plane before, not 1 vulch, 1 re arm... most I had ever gotten was 19, and I landed it, you can't imagine how mad I was when I died with those 22 :bhead

The reason my butt mainly stays out of the air in the MA's. The anything for the kill mentality that prevails there. Thank goodness for FSO and scenarios. Limited lives makes an entirely diferent game. Sorry to hear about your connection issues effecting FSO playing.

don't blame ya ink, last tour was first tour I split 50/50 from flying high eny planes to low ones, frankly hate to say it but the game turned into Horde vs Horde.
I probably will see a rise in 262s and tempest flights this tour, or 51s etc.

First you blamed others for not playing the game in the "One True Way" supposidly you are the best example of in whole human race.
Now you blame the unwashed unworthy masses for forcing you to stain your soul and act your true self.
What next??
It's all of the unworthy unwashed masses faults for you breaking your arms patting yourself on the back this hard for being a superior form of life above them?
Seems you have covered the first 3 of 5 stages from self denial, to self delusion, along with outing the Aces High members of a 12 step narcasism neurosis recovery program.
At least now by being honest with yourselves and this community about enjoying the idea of slauthering the helpless masses you detest so much. Maybe you can enjoy the game for once and stop needing this forum as a way to fix your need to prey on them behind the canard of good natured abuse for their own good. Then Fugitive can get back to creating slightly more positive cartoons to describe the Aces High Community.

Translation- "I've got hangups because I'll never be more than mediocre at best as a pretend cartoon pilot and this is the only venue in which I can strike back at Ink and save face in my deluded world"
And by the way. As hard as you work at sounding "teh smart", you may try hitting that spell check button here and there. It just loses something when you have to decipher "slauthering" and "supposidly".

Selling your soul to make the numbers better. Don't do it INK. You could shoot every last one of the horde down in your Spit XVI and all you'd be able to say is the only way you could beat em was to join em. It says nothing about your ability or credibility, and speaks loudly to your frustration. That last part is still on you.
I hope you think about it again before you go down that path. it's not about the number of kills. It's about the quality of the fight.

I only see quality in the fights when its FSO or Scenarios, otherwise MA is just trashy.

been saying that to myself, for a long time now......you know what... I was wrong.....to truly win/fight/compete against the hoard, ....you must use the tools before you.......why ignore the best planes in the hanger when that is what it takes to actually compete in the MA if you are more or less a lone wolf such as I?
joining them would be joining a huge hoard of green guys attacking one low con.....
me from now on....I am gonna use the best tools...... the dirtiest tricks....... to kill them all....

I flew for the first time this month. Took off in the old 38G from a field getting attacked. Got into a fight with a BnZ 47M. Best I could do was hug the deck and hope he augered. Just about pulled it off too. Bled his E down until I finally was able to reverse and get a shot from about 600 out as he was still fast. All kinds of parts came off. He didn't go down, but didn't come back down either. Despite my rust I could still work the 38G. I ended up getting picked right after that but the first fight was worth it.
Took off again from a nearby field as they took the one I was at initially. Headed towards the dar bar. Found 2 sets of Lancs above me with a single Tony escorting. Down he came. The Lancs droned on so he was doing his job. Again we got mixed in and I was lucky enough after about 3 minutes of bending it to work in behind him and shoot him down. I said to Soulyss later that I should probably shut down for the month as I'd had my one really great fight.
But he and I upped and wandered towards a large dar bar. Again we got mixed in with a number of baduns. Pleasantly surprised to see they wanted to fight outside of one 38L who keep HOing and running. He died a number of times as that really didn't work for him. In the end both Soulyss and I ended up in the water, he from a pilot wound and me from out of fuel. But we'd downed a few birds and the fights had been agreeably fun from both sides.
Not going to quit playing that way just cause I might have a couple of frustrating nights :)

And it won't be any fun at all for ya INK cause it won't prove anything other that you can do it, which I think most agree we already know.

If there weren't the MA, I would not play AH at all. I have given up flying special events years ago :uhoh
To me, the MA is the real game. Everything else is just a sideshow. ;)

Ink,
I switched over to the K4 today because of the same reasons and you know what? The Stang and LALAs can't run and I can egress without having to plant and fight one after another after another. I feel for you man, the KI is fun, but it lacks initiative and it seems no one really cares about the fight and more about the points.
And yes, fso and scenario is where it is at. . . but if you find yourself in a 1v1, you screwed up.
More power to you!
-
:P
I may find myself in the 38 even...used properly it is one of the best in the hanger....
Would that not also describe the Ki-84? :)

Consider your ways. Consider your ways indeed!
Now you are flying like Midway. :rofl

just my $.02, I dont fly in the ma much mainly due to my POS computer gets too slow to fly, so I fly in the DA. My experience in the ma is that you get ganged and hoed way toooo often. the best fights I have had there were early in the am with fester :salute, so even if my pc wasnt a POS I would probably just stick in the da :salute

It is ok, Ink. I get a good 1 v 1 fight then his buddies show up. It only make me a better stick.

This is precisely the same conclusion that I reached yesterday. I have been here for nearly 4 years, albeit for a 6 month sabbatical when I was off earning my shilling. I have reached a standard (read fairly dreadful) and pretty much plateaued, but yesterday just brought me to the same conclusions as you.
Yesterday I must have died 100 times and actually accomplished about 10 kills, in that time I had one straight fight against MK84, the rest of the time I died through getting shot in the face, picked, or hit by ack chasing someone over their field. The number of times I had multiple enemies tag teaming me to HO I lost count.
I am well aware my SA is poor, I don't know why this is because in RL I know my SA is superb and has to be, but nevertheless its poor in here.
I also know all the arguments :
a.)don't follow him into ack
b.)don't put yourself in a position to be ganged
c.)it takes 2 to HO
d.)it's not our fault you dived in to engage 4
e.)Ho'ing and picking and ganging were all legitimate WW2 tactics
So I think I reached your conclusion, I am going to take every ho shot I can, going to vulch and pick and sail around at 30k till one of my squaddies gets engaged, and only then will I dive in and pick. But no way will I call Check 6 because it may spoil my aim if he breaks early.
Whenever I get the chance and see a squaddie in a slower plane, shooting a guy up, I'll overtake him and hammer the enemy all the way into the sea so I can be sure of enough hits for the kill.
But in truth INK, what you will do and what I will do is get mad, promise yourself you will change and fight dirty, and the moment you find yourself over 5 enemy cons hiding in ack, you'll revert to your original ways and get stuck in to them. :salute
-
I am with Ink on this.
I have flown nothing but Spit 9's, SBD's, Stukas, D3A's, B-25s, F4U1a's... and various other rides that took a challenge... and all I got, no matter how valiantly I fought, was gangtarded or HO'd out of my mind.
So, I roll LA7's and Ponies these days.
They can't kill me if they cannot catch me.

The LWMA is just a place to kill time until Friday. Get back into FSO, it's way more rewarding than the MA can ever be. :cheers:

Danny I apreciate your dismay, but what sort of footwear do you wear when in said planes? :old:
This is a serious issue we need to address :old:
You and Ink are in deline inregards to your problems. :old:
-
I was going to make a hippy protest about not contributing to the problem, but instead I did an experiment in the MA being more aggressive and merciless, pressing every advantage and trying simply to kill and I have to say it was rather fun. 7 kills in one sortie, chased down by an angry mob, cornered and rightfully ganged to death by four vengeful players at the end. Still reversed and killed one of those. At least I was ganged AFTER I got some kills this way round.
I've decided it is rather fun to be a complete barstard, so I've decided to join you Ink :lol :banana: :rock

Its not your flying abilitie thats being assessed, the anger generated by said footwear is causing anger within the enemy and thus unsporting behaviour issues :old:

Thing about the Hayate, when you mostly fly alone, is that it doesn't dive at all well. So if you fight with a little altitude you tend to have them dive away and completely escape or you have to fight and defeat them twice at two different bands of altitude. This takes too long and you can bet the other one is screaming on comms for help the whole time. Often I don't even bother climbing much at all to prevent this, but that denies you climbing away from a gang attack because there are always higher cons.

so when you see me in the 16...LA7...K4...262.....51D.. .....look around you at the huge hoard of green guys that will do ANYTHING to "win" GANG a guy 10-15 on 1...60 plus on 1 field......you will know why.
if you want a "fair" fight from me ask me to the DA :aok
The important thing is to have fun.

the hayate is a fine lone hunting plane, as he can run away from a part of the planeset, and outturn the rest. Combine that with above average hit points, you have a solid contender.
Its just not very good to bnz over large spaces, but you can't have everything :D

Welcome to the dark side. Everyone reaches the point where they simply accept the fact that the Main Arena is a free for all. Anything goes, anything can and will happen, and when you first stop caring how anyone else plays or what anyone else does, you can finally log in and fully enjoy the game for what it is.
Structure? Special events. FSO, Scenarios, Snapshots, KOTH any number of regularly scheduled events each having a different level of immersion and restrictions.
You are on your own in the Mains, no one will ever play how you want them to play or expect them to play. To have an imaginary expectation of what people will say or do will never turn out well and will always disappoint you. If a group gets together to defend the kingdom from the horde, Great!! If not, no lost sleep here, simply don't care. The map will reset and all that territory lost will be recovered. I shoot someone and they don't like the way I shot them, who cares, I was shooting them not inviting them over for thanksgiving dinner. If I was concerned about what they might say or think about me, I wouldn't have my fragile little ego up in the virtual sky playing with guns. Game has 2 levels, pleasant or irrelevant. The negative wasted BS just isn't worth the little time I get to actually play so it doesn't get my attention.
I hate surprises. If I expect someone to face shoot me, or ram me, or bomb my GV, or pork my base, or any number of things that will spoil my flight I will work tirelessly to avoid those situations. Then, when it doesn't happen, I'll be surprised and pleased, and never disappointed in someone's actions again.

How would you know? :neener: :lol
as he can run away from a part of the planeset, and outturn the rest. Combine that with above average hit points, you have a solid contender.

In theory yes, plus the energy building capability it is an outstanding aircraft. These assets are considerably diminished however when you have to face a gang of mixed aircraft. A decent turner and a decent BnZer tag-teaming the lone Hayate pilot means he cannot outclimb, nor outrun nor outmanoeuvre for more than several seconds, you have to overcome the sum of the parts. And that's just with two. Within minutes it is three, and four and five and so on because it is a manoeuvring fighter, not a travelling fighter, like your chosen ride is for example.
Do you see my point?
Danny's point earlier is also pertinent. Sometimes on CET the only fight available is one which is not in your favour. The other day we fought three N1Ks who where fighting at altitude above their base. Once they got in trouble, they showed a clean set of seven, I think it was, Split-S, looking each time to pull nose to nose for the HO or otherwise to spiral descent right into their ack. Of course they set it up that way but we were fed up with looking for people to fight so took what we could. Didn't end well for us of course, Danny fish shoes got smoked :lol
-
sure there is, just find the right person to play with
Agreed. I have numerous 'fair' fights nearly every time I log on and play. They're just a small minority of the fights though. :)

Well done Ink, you have finally got over the silly martyr complex that seems to affect so many good sticks in the MA.
Prepare to enjoy the game a lot more.
S!

I don't know if I agree this is a good thing. I don't really know Ink. I've had a few PMs with him, only ever seen him once in game and we were coincidentally on the same country. However I do identify with his mission since I think we have that in common. I know people like bustr tend to label it as 'elitism', and others as 'boastful' or 'egotistical' but I don't think it's any of those things. I think Ink and those like him basically believe that an individual using superior ACM and skill can outweigh two or more players who are more 'result centred' who tend to employ a low risk high advantage approach, and then he proceeds to go out there every time he flies to illustrate his belief by engaging at a disadvantage, fighting to the inevitable end and then also sometimes weathering the derision of those that brought him down by fair means or foul.
Respectfully Batty, I think having a martyr complex is slightly different: if you sort of go about that but then constantly moan about it or use it to get some other kind of acknowledgement.
Of course what Ink-like players do can become extremely frustrating, especially over time as the little 'fouls' add up.
All I'm saying is that I think it is a shame if Ink totally gives up on his main activity and essentially joins the herd of uber fast ride hit and run fighters. I think it would be a great loss (actually, I'm not sure it's in his nature to achieve it anyway, and that is further to his credit).

Move to midwar ink, its everything your looking for. I swaped last tour and am having a blast. You can get that 1v1, you wont be jumped by a 262 la7 etc and the guys in there have a good friendly rivalry going. With 10- 20 more players each day like yourself it could be the happening place.

INK i've seen you go against 5 in a KI-84 and come out the winner. Not just once. You made it look effortless as well. <S> man and just don't let anyone steal your fun from you sir!

All good points Shida, well stated. The martyr complex as I intend it to be taken is that of being at a disadvantage, be it plane type or flight planning, and thinking it makes one's self somehow so much more valuable to the 'gameplay' at such great personal sacrifice. Fly at a disadvantage if you choose but surely it doesn't take a degree to work out the flaw in the philosophy of expecting everyone to fly at a disadvantage also. If everyone flew the same there would be no disadvantage.
Now in Ink's case I believe he has just hit a rough patch and needed to rant about it. Perhaps nothing will change for him. then again perhaps everything will and he will learn to enjoy the main arena in new ways. He is hardly the first person to decide to always fly at a disadvantage and practice cunning ACMs at all times. He would also not be the first to realise that there is more to the game than that. Now perhaps he will find new facets, yet still have his old style to fall back on from time to time. If we eat icecream all day it eventually loses it's joy. The trick is to eat lots of different nice things so that when we have icecream it is enjoyable to it's full potential.
If Ink does start flying around in a dora and picking people out of furballs then I see it as a positive thing. This gives the opportunity for a different player to take Ink's role as the disadvantaged flying ninja. Without the dora picker there would be no disadvantaged ninjas showing everyone how much cooler they are than sliced bread with their pixel manipulation skills.

+1 Ava is a different animal for MA some good fights in there and the community gets along for the most part/
-
AVA is great if it can drum up a few more people, think the quality is much higher in terms of players is what caught my eye few years back.
I rather have one or two good small fights then go in the MA to watch 60 take a base vs 2 defenders.
-
I truly appreciate the words from some of you guys...I see now that maybe I have been wrong in thinking I have not influenced some to a better game.....
to be perfectly honest I am frustrated with the "win" at all cost no Honor game play...people actually laugh when I bring up Honor...I don't understand that...ya.... so its a game...so is chess but you should still play chess with Honor...at least I do....
so NO I will not be joining the Hoard....I will hang up my stick before I do that....(so NO midway you will never see me with a V in front of my name :old:)
I love Aces High...... it is by far the greatest game I have ever played...Thank you HTC :salute...I must do something though...and the only thing I can think of is grabbing a better plane to fight the hoard....
no I don't bomb....no I don't GV........fighter mode for me......call me simple I don't care... I am a simple man...I just want a fight where no one really dies or gets hurt.....where people still hold Honor above "winning" and actually fight in a combat game.
now I am gonna address the others.....never have I said I am a "martyr".......never have I said I am the bestest or coolest....do I know I am good?....ya I know I am...... I also have fought for 7 years to get as good as I am....do I want to be the best I can be....... Absolutely......am I the best? not hardly......will I strive to be the best....I will as long as I am alive.....
so NO you will not see me in a 190 picking furballs...you may see me in a 190/spit over the biggest red gang and attacking them relentlessly...until I die or I kill them all.
I would not worry to much my aim is about as good as a 2 week noobs :aok

Your first post here was very martyr orientated sir. If you are purely going to change your gameplay for yourself then why do you even need to make a thread about it?
I'm done being mister nice guy
who were you being mister nice guy for? if it was for everyone else then you were considering yourself a martyr. If it was for you then why would you suddenly not want to do it for yourself anymore?
the huge gangs that show no respect or honor in a game....have pushed me....I am done
so I hereby rescind my policy of no vulching......... no ganging........ no Hoing........ not flying the uberist rides...
so when you see me in the 16...LA7...K4...262.....51D.. .....look around you at the huge hoard of green guys that will do ANYTHING to "win" GANG a guy 10-15 on 1...60 plus on 1 field......you will know why.
Again, every indication in your communication here suggests your have been acting for the benefit of others and now you are going to act just for yourself. If you do not ho, vulch or gang for your own enjoyment then surely you will carry on not doing that.
if you want a "fair" fight from me ask me to the DA :aok
that would be fun, I would enjoy that
But you are here very strongly insinuating that anyone wants a 'fair fight' in the MA. And again that you were only offering said'fair fights' for the benefit of others. If you enjoy fair fights in the MA then you would keep offering them yourself, for yourself.
So whatever you take my couple of posts in this thread to mean, and I do say this with a high degree of respect for you, you are coming off as a martyr in this thread.

I fly the way I do(dont gang.... vulch ect) because that's just how I am as a person.... I don't want to win with a stacked deck so to speak.........I started this thread because there are some people who I respect highly in this game and want them to know why all of a sudden I will be in a uber ride...basically that's all I am gonna change...flying around in a spit16 ect ect is like racing in a vet when everyone else is in a chevette.......so when I come across a single con if I am in a spit and they die....I will gladly go to the DA.....
simple as that really
-
If you think it will make the game more fun for you, go for it. I think that you don't fly those planes in the first place because you don't find it fun.

Ink, you've always been a good stick and a good fight......doesn't matter what you fly, you will still be a fun fight... :old:

this is key -
I am confident I can be a challenge to anyone since or even 2 sticks in a KI84. . . but once you plant in a ki, you have to either win or die. That is why, dispite my already mounting anger over radiator hits (I get one every 3 sorties), I fly the K4 because it has the power to extend or pursue a runner - and in a multi con fight or in the MA where 51, D9 and 47Ms seem to be everywhere, I long for a plane that can push when I need to. KI is brilliant, but the K4 is just a pure monster and can dictate the fight (initiative is key to controlling a flight, and the KI surrenders initiative a lot, which makes it fun, but also dependent on the opponent wanting to fight you. . .)
So inks whole move away from the KI into more 'uber' rides (and I consider the k4 to be an uber ride next to the KI) is understandable.
I still however don't HO (unless they pull first and I have no choice <top of a climb, bottom of a dive, no e left to dodge and they start shooting at me>), I can't really vulch (I have tried and I suck at it. . .) and picking is just someone having more alt then someone else.

Vulching is the pretty blonde in the room with big bazooms!
There are no uber rides. There are aircraft that have double-superiority in some situations.
Any dweeb can kill any vet on any given day. They may not but it can happen.
Hordes are natures way of showing us where the easy kills are.

sounds like it would work....doesn't though....
ya I like a good 1vs1 but never have I said that's all that it should be.....I am an MA guy I love the variety the MA brings, (for the most part)
I actually don't like the "realistic" plane set as a daily flying sorta thing....I much more enjoy the free for all MA....and FSO (when I was in them) was a great time, but I would not want that every time I fly.

Been there done that. The AVA regulars are considerably less than welcoming. And hey that's ok, they got a tight little club there, as it is ok for me to decline.
I really like the idea of Axis vs Allies too. That allows for just a bit more "pretend" I'm a fighter pilot.

Yes, because your video hardware and whatever settings you've turned on/off in specific combinations to give you the maximum ability to see other planes should be the main determining factor in your combat effectiveness. :aok

That's one thing I never saw a reason for, was when they made it so the custom arena guys don't have the ability to go no icon. I don't think the player numbers restriction on the custom arenas would be an issue, and it would give you guys the gameplay you desire.

I believe the arena is back to no enemy icons, short friendly icons.
HamHawk's playful enthusiasm probably shouldn't be taken as seriously as some are taking it. His suggestion, and mine, were made because people were complaining about current MA play standards. We thought you might like to try something else. If you don't, you don't, easy as that.

First you blamed others for not playing the game in the "One True Way" supposidly you are the best example of in whole human race.
Now you blame the unwashed unworthy masses for forcing you to stain your soul and act your true self.
What next??
It's all of the unworthy unwashed masses faults for you breaking your arms patting yourself on the back this hard for being a superior form of life above them?
Seems you have covered the first 3 of 5 stages from self denial, to self delusion, along with outing the Aces High members of a 12 step narcasism neurosis recovery program.
At least now by being honest with yourselves and this community about enjoying the idea of slauthering the helpless masses you detest so much. Maybe you can enjoy the game for once and stop needing this forum as a way to fix your need to prey on them behind the canard of good natured abuse for their own good. Then Fugitive can get back to creating slightly more positive cartoons to describe the Aces High Community.

You step in and get insulted. You fight and win and get insulted. You lose and get insulted. You dare to fly a spit vs 4 "manly" 109s and your sexual identity and prefrence will be questioned for half an hour. Players are boasting prouldy how they did drive those "lame MA" players away.
All using exact the phrases you do. And obviously it's still the same spirit. What surprise.
Very funny and witty indeed.. :rolleyes:
-
And there ya have it. Empty arena.
There we have what Zoney? A little playful taunt? You guy and your responses are the exact problem with this game everyone is soo uptight and egomaniacal they cant take any sort of gental teasing with bout blowing it completely of or propotion. Especially with the crap you see on 200 in the MA

Give me a break you cant seriously be THAT thin skinned.

give me a break you cant be serious you are actually upset about 'girly man'?
You simply don't get it...
-
You simply don't get it...
I get it any sort of teasing is too much for some people even something as non insulting and well know as a by play as 'girly man' or you cling to ANY excuse you can to not broden your horizons, and would much rather play in the MA nightly and whine about it daily on the BBS. I get it perfectly fine.
-
I get it (...)
Obviously not.
-
I loved no icons in AVA. It set the AVA apart from all other arenas. Unfortunately they decided to go back to icons and then try to copy other arenas.
Not so. Back to "no enemy icons".
-
whine about it daily on the BBS. I get it perfectly fine.
Oh really, I do? Since when?
-
Obviously not.
Kool :aok continue to down play anythuing different and for any excuse you can just as long as you can be horde/antihore Mr. complain about the MA everyday and expect it to change.
-
Oh really, I do? Since when?
Im sure you have a chart of it.

Im sure you have a chart of it.
Oh please, show me my "daily whines" about the MA.
You are just making things up now. But that rather proves my point, thank you.

and what is your point you had a bad experience once and now completely overeact. that statement is called a generalzation you are obivious to any kinda of humor and immediatley go to the worse case scenario I'm sorry most people with a brain in their skull not eniterly commited to charts and pie graphs would have realised that and not made a mouintain out of a molehill
-
Really? I had no problems finding people with my old system on the verge of death before I spent 600 bucks total for a system I put together myself that now handles the game on max.
Yup. Really. Quite often less is more when it comes to no icons. Bigger dots/less details quite often makes it as easy or easier to find them. Antialiasing, texture sizes, monitor quality and all kinds of other things can make it easier/harder to see that dot among the ground pixels.
Friend, I played no icons for years in the other sim. I know exactly whereof I speak. I'm sorry you think the ability to spot a dot equates to 'manly' or 'skilled'.

They are huge! Here's how I figure it. Of a horde of 50; one wants to fight, 30 want to pick, 10 are saying please don't kill me, and 9 are asking how to select bombs.

OK Kewl like I said go pie chart yourself a sense of humor.
-
I'll back Lusche up on that. The same kind of things drove me out of the CT, the prior name of the AvA. And I didn't just give it a shot or two. I was a member of the 27th Sentai and there at the very start of the CT/AvA to try and make it work.
-
AvA is great fun. . .just need to get the 'leet' pilots to fly there and create a culture of AvA. I am hoping that as MA gets worse and worse in terms of all the crappy gameplay, a few good pilots will put energy into the AvA and get a few of us to join in. . . but that is going to be tough.

OK I have seen 1 or 2 guys act like dbags thats true but for the most part its way more laid back in there than the MA, when was the last time you tried it? Sorry if the 'girly ma that I ment as a playful chide directly to INK offendeed you Lusche, but I really think you made a mountain out of a mole hill on that., and I challege you to make a piechart detailing the increas or decrease in MA whine threads in the past few year.

To be honest, I haven't tried in awhile. When I was trying it out, I was getting HOed, and ganged. I figured why was I wasting what little time I get playing in there when I can get the same thing in the Mains, but have more targets. It just wasn't worth the trouble.

once Lusche piecharts himself a sense of humor copy and paste it. Im done if you want too be this sensitive thats your problem, I will continue to make my lame little jokes . I failed to see exactly how thin skinned people actually are on this bbs.

Its not always gonna be 1v1's but when asked people will stay out and of course ho's will happen from time to time when you are flying 2 pretty equal planes sometiumes its the only shot and some are going to take it on the 3rd head to head.

The "elitist slobberdonkey" crap is way higher in the AvA. A lot more judgmental about one's choice of aircraft than the already judgmental MAs. I have also found the setups to be very biased in regards to what it an acceptable substitution with the only generally balance settings being USAAF vs Luftwaffe. Other settings generally being intended to favor the USAAF, USN or Luftwaffe. Inappropriate ubstitutions such as adding the Brewster against the Japanese, taking away their one performance advantage, or using the long retired Spitfire F.Mk IX in place of the Spitfire LF.Mk IXe when we have that very aircraft are all too common.

OK I see your point on the aircraft, but again the elietist part is what gets me are you tuned to 200 in the MA? When I first started flying the AVA aseveral months back I never got accused of picvking , or bomb****ing and If I accident;ly ramed someone I wasnt a ram tard. I apologized and was told it happens. agen when was the Last time you went into the AVA? I think the attitude is completly different. On the plane sets the subs happen becasue large holes in the planeset. I have seen you suggest subs on the ava

I didn't take what you said as offensive I knew you were just messin...
as far as film goes...my word is more then enough for anyone that knows me....it was a long time ago..... I flew as BUDO and wiped the floor with the competition.....
I already stated why I am not into the AVA...now if you wanna go to DA...I will have no problem teaching you how to catch bullets :aok

As a spankin new stick too the game might I humbly suggest this be stickied and the title changed to "Code of Conduct a Gentleman's Ethical Viewpoint"
I had no idea some of the mentioned tactics were "of bad morals and ethics" which is funny... not ha ha funny. Alot of the time is spent just trying to keep one eye on the guy who is about to shoot me down and the other eye on my gauges. Everything I did was because of exploiting my lack of skill becomes prevelent the minute I get low and slow or overshoot all in an effort to save my own arse and learn how to contend with guys who have forgotten more than I have learned.
Will I fly with my Squad Only... I wish but no its not the case. However when I'm alone and see the furball start instead of being part of the problem I want to conduct myself with a higher standard. So Sticky this thread because EVERY NEW STICK IN THE GAME needs to read this and learn from the vets! In my humble oppion no trolling or sarcasms all real talk.
I Sir <S> you if you can manage to stay the path.

for someone such as yourself being new....any thing you do in game(next to outright cheating) is acceptable......most vets I believe have this same mentality..but the longer you are here the less lame type behaviors should be done....like just HOing or only staying in the gang.....nether of those will make you a better AH stick...no matter how man people tell you its cool or whatever excuse they come up with....IE its my 15$....yup it is your 15$ you have the right to fly how ever you want.....
I have the right to laugh at you and call your game play lame(not YOU directly just those that have been here awhile still doing the same dweeby stuff and making excuses up for it...the best is "well we did it in the real war")
deadstikmac if you ever see me online (JETSOM ingame) if you want.... ask me and we can go to the TA/DA I enjoy taking newer guys and showing them how to fight.....it does make the learning curve way easier
have fun and I hope you enjoy this great game :salute

being mister nice guy
the huge gangs that show no respect or honor in a game....have pushed me....I am done
so I hereby rescind my policy of no vulching......... no ganging........ no Hoing........ not flying the uberist rides...
so when you see me in the 16...LA7...K4...262.....51D.. .....look around you at the huge hoard of green guys that will do ANYTHING to "win" GANG a guy 10-15 on 1...60 plus on 1 field......you will know why.
if you want a "fair" fight from me ask me to the DA :aok
It will be a bad day for the people to whom you speak when about 12 really tired-of-it guys decide to hit a horde. I would like to see:
Corky, Grizz, INK, Bone, Dodger, Cactus, TC, Bruv, LilMak, JUGgler, Kappa, Fester, Ardy, Krup, and Redbull (actually put whatever list together you want of guys like these and there are a number of them I left out Bighorn, Batfink, Hlbly et al)....just one time in 51D's, Spixteens and LA7's against the horde....any freakin horde, pickers, and lame noobs alike.....the carnage would be ridiculous and the whining...oh lord the whining.
14 vs 40....I will wager a 3 month subscription to AH that 4 make it back alive and land um....lol. (because they would simply stay in it for the fight, lol)

Who needs freakin La7s and spixteens... just gimme a G6 :devil
Thats a good idea btw.

I agreed that everyone should be able to try and play the game the way they want. Obviously everyone is NOT going to have a "card blanch" either. If a guy wants to milk run the strats all day in B29s odds are pretty good eventually someone is going to be around to try and shoot him down. However, I don't think there is a "solution to every complaint".
What is a "realistic" solution for the horde missions? I don't think it's realistic to expect a few guys to spend the few hours they have to play to do nothing but pork troops/ords along front line bases. Nor is it realistic to expect to have 10-12 guys to sit in the tower all night ready to scramble to defend an in coming attack. WHat is the "solution" to the horde missions?

um....shoot them down.
Are they even a problem unless one values gaming real estate?
Big missions provide targets.
Targets improve gameplay for me.

I don't expect people to sit around and wait for a horde mission to launch before they do something about it. The hordie guys have to sit around planning the missions, forming the mission, gather the players, do all the dirty work, then when they launch there is a pretty large dar bar that shows up announcing that there is trouble coming.
Example. Last month. Minding my own business, most of the rooks were doing the same, just going about their day. I saw 2 dar bars launch way deep in the bad guys territory. So, since I was getting in some air time on the D9 I'll be flying in the scenario, I filled up the tank, grabbed a drop, and headed out there. I found a massive formation of bombers and escorts. This took about 40 minutes for me to get there. They were still 5 sectors out from our closest base. I announced heading and alt. No worries yet, just letting you all know type of thing. I paced them, kept updating the alt, heading, and now it was becoming clear what their target was. When it got close enough, the call went out to get ready and the rooks launched and intercepted the group. Slaughtered the attack, negligible damage to the targets, few bad guys made it home. Raid over, back to what everyone was doing.
Minimal interruption, got in some great furballs. It doesn't take much effort, but no effort will solve nothing. If someone simply doesn't want to do something about the horde, then the horde will simply continue on. Bloody their nose often enough, and the groupies will grow tired of it.

I fly spits now. :banana:

Again, I'm talking realistic here, for an average player. Ink, Batty your both top notch cartoon pilots and would have no trouble downing half a dozen each with out breaking a sweat, but for most players that are average, and not so average they isn't much you can do. Given an hour to fly each night I could take one trip and shadow a horde.... not a lot of action, or fun. Milkrunners have a "solution", up a K4, or a jet...heck they even added "special" jets to counter them at the starts, but not hordes. If people want to horde, that's fine, but there should be a way to counter them, like everything else.

If HTC deems hordes a problem they could increase hardness of hangers and perhaps 5 min down time to allow some defense. Hordes seem to disable everything at the field so there is no resistance and no fight.
It is a problem when only a few will disable front line ords. It stops a rolling horde in it's tracks every time. Maybe encourage ords porking with fighter perks. :headscratch:

Attack mode only?
The modes are for scoring purposes only.
For everything you kiill or destroy you get perks in this game, regardless of scoring mode. And the primary type of your plane determines where they are going to. Fighters get fighter perks, bombers get bomber perks.
It's just that destryong 2 ord bunkers give you very little in perks ( zero point something), so it may go totally unnoticed when you also shoot down an enemy during the same sortie.
