If you don't kill me AFK and I come back to find you flying formation off my level K4, I respect you, JETSOM did that yesterday  :lol
If you see me already in a 1v1, or a 2v1, or a 3v1, and you stay out of break off, I respect you. I think you did that earlier D
If I kill you and you're a good sport about it, and don't go raging at me, and visa versa if you kill me and don't go on an ego trip etc. I respect you.

A few other things as well but that's the basic run down for me  :cheers:

One of my favorite things to do. The best reaction I got so far, I forget who it was, but he came back saw me off his wing and slowly throttled back causing me to overshoot.  :lol

I will always respect a player who will stick to a fight to the very end. I won't mind him trying to HO me or call for help as long as he attempts to fight back and not run away.
And, I respect the player who will let a wounded opponent go. If it was a good fight, I will always let my opponent ditch.

I respect those that fight in this combat game......running to friends/ACK/Deck as soon as you lose advantage is not fighting.......

committed BnZing is fighting....I have much respect for the one that BnZ's but if after 10-15 minutes they cant get the kill, disengage and DO NOT come back to pick........

a PM rage after getting killed gets you put on the tard list quite fast, that entitles you to never get a chk 6 from me...never get help from me...I will wait till the red guy kills your sorry arse before I engage him......

show respect you get respect.......

but in all honesty........as long as I fly and fight to the end....I am happy.

I see you let others get you upset Debrody when they fly/act like tards....1 thing you gotta remember it is their 15$......do like I do...put them on the list....and play like they do not exist....

-Those realizes it's a game and not real life.
-Those that can be competitive without being an idiot about it.   After all no one dies.  The challenge of the fight is all that matters in the end, win or lose.
-Those that ask before jumping your fight
-Those who can actually admit the other guy beat them fair and square without making excuses.
-Those that understand the game is more then just about them and that we all contribute to the fun or the lack of fun on any given day.

I think Snailman and I proved good sportsmanship with this last B17 run we did, that he intercepted. He took me (flight lead) out quite efficiently, but as always, we both had a good time. Good sportsmanship is respected whether you play across the table or across the planet.

I respect anyone who gives up a fight. I can list dozens of names who can easily beat me, but one person always stands out is Latrobe, never has an advantage or disadvantage - but always sticks around to fight.
If you have bullets or gas, there's nothing to loose, you simply can't learn if you pick/vulch/fly at 30k every time.

Honestly if it wasn't for that one fight every so now and then, I'd go back to climb/pick/vulch/run like everyone else, some how I just find that one player like Latrobe who just makes it worth the $15.

Its just a game, sometimes I wonder if score actually does matter, if it does I might as well simply quit.

Do people realize when they are accusing someone of going "Head On", that the other person is probably screaming the same thing at them???  It takes two to HO, always.  

I respect a lot of things.  It is more easily to point on what I have no respect for: running instead of fighting, spawn camping, hordes (30v1 odds are for wussys), and bomb-n-bail types are the easiest traits to pick out that I have no respect for.

Respect comes with understanding that everyone has their own style of playing the game.  
- Some like to simulate WWII and fly to survive
- Some like to fly until they win or lose, even once they know they have lost.

I personally respect all the Scenario/FSO participants because there is only one life and is a completely different game than the shenanigans in the MA.  :salute

Debrody, we've had our differences, and I'm extending an olive branch here.  Let everyone fly the way they want to fly, and I'll do the same.  Btw, you should come fly FSOs--- I bet you would have a blast  :cheers:

All, this is an honest question, so please don't take it the wrong way:  There is a lot of support for the 1v1 posted here...  Why deal with all the hassle of the Main Arena where most of the people are HOing and picking and running and climbing and winging?   There seems to be plenty interested in just the 1v1s, why not just go to the DA, or create a custom arena to duel it out with each other all day?    

This is just my opinion, but it seems as if it might be easier doing this to get what you are looking for out of the game--- of course 200 would be a lot quieter :)

Deb is in Hungary, he would have to wake up at 5am to fly FSO. Which means Saturday morning for him, who in their right minds is going to wake up sober to fly a video game?

what you and some call "flying style" I call running like girls......

I have not seen many say anything about only 1vs1....most said they respect those that fight ;)


running when you lose advantage is not fighting....not engaging when you don't have the upper hand is not fighting.....



but its cool you fly how you like it is your 15$ :aok

Nothing wrong with flying at 20k and picking and running away, I used to be that way for years until I learned to sit and fight. Fact is I would open my mouth and get schooled from 99% of time, however now a days I get schooled 99% regardless, but at least i don't pick and run like before :)

Post by: Getback on October 30, 2012, 12:40:45 AM
One thing I will never understand is why someone will HO and then run. I mean if you are willing to die in a HO why not stay and fight.

As far as respect goes I pretty much respect all. It did get annoying tonight when I upped where there were a bunch of rooks and they just wouldn't come down to play. Had a 190 zip in on me and then his wingie zipped in on me and both went back on their perch. After a bit of that I just landed.

Ok Pand, look at here.

You offered a challenge in your game. I tryed to find a compromise (2v2 as you said you like winging), then you instantly called me an idiot even tho i was trying to be as polite as a drunk arse can be.
And you wonder why my 3 remaining brain cells exploded.

The BBS is full of your "look at me how awesome i am" posts or offering a challenge of beating your awesome achievement (which is completely inpossible withouth very numerous wingmen), yet you call me for chest beating?
What the hell.

After that, you come here and start talking about respect? Seriously, look into the mirror and fluffingly leave me alone.
Title: Re: Respect
Post by: Debrody on October 30, 2012, 02:24:15 AM
What and who i respect:
-the willing to fight fair.
-those who dont run from the 1v1/2v2/5v5 when they lose their alt advantage but grow balls when they get numerous buddies.
-those who try to give the opponent some fun. Idc if i lose when you gave me a fight, let it be 1v1 or 10v10.
-anyone who is a good sportsman. Belive it or not, there are many of this kind out there.

Some really good feedback in this thread - I agree with most of it.  :aok

I enjoy flying attempting to use Oswald Boelcke's rules of engagement to the letter (that is my "hangup").  In this game that can seem cold.  I do enjoy mixing it up and learning from the experience but we have to respect that each person paying their monthly $ may not fly the way we think they should.  :old:

Latrobe, Greebo and many others fly with such class.

I wish there was an option to indicate to the enemy that one is AFK.    Some may exploit this but I would choose not to shoot them down.  I noticed also that most of my deaths come from being AFK.  This is just a preference.  If I get killed AFK it is my fault.

What the hell.
For reference, I had utilized one wingman throughout my fighter scored sorties this tour.

I am afraid you have the sequence of events backwards.  Many of the "honorable fighters" of Aces High have repeatedly stated that my flying style is easy.  In defense of such claims, I offered up a challenge (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,340466.60.html), giving each of the "honorable fighters" a chance to prove how easy it actually is, while adhering to the mid war aircraft/pick and run time limit.  Unfortunately, except for only a few that have stepped up, all have excuses why they can't participate. 

Outside of scoring a victory on one of these "honorable fighters" in the MA (not fighting their fight), I have never provoked or stated that I am a better pilot or more advanced in ACM than any of them.  These are the pilots that are quick to reject my challenge, but then immediately challenge me to a duel.  I am confident that most, if not all of you would win/have already won.  While I have been training for one type of fight, you have been training for another.

I respect those that fly and keep the drama to a minimum.  My short time in AH has seen more Jersey Shore moments than I care to admit, most of which had nothing to do with me directly.  Good natured ribbing on 200 aside, there are those in this game (as in real life) that can't seem to go more than a day without complaining, starting a fight, or getting wrapped up in some sort of crisis.  As much as I like this game and have always been a WWII aviation buff, if I ever quit this game, that will probably be why.

For real guys -- enjoy the game.   :cheers:

I respect people who could chest thump, but don't.  People who chest thump undeservedly actively tick me off.

As far as what I respect in my opponents, my desires are simple.  All I want out of my opponents is a maximum effort to kill me without dying themselves using whatever means they have at their disposal, as that's exactly what I'm giving them.

Triton- Two things can greatly improve the drama level.  Use .squelch often and immediately if you know it's one of the people who irks you.  Second, when a large group really gets going on 200, turn 200 off.  It works extremely well for me.

Post by: Ripley on October 30, 2012, 02:41:34 PM
Well firstly I play this game as a survivalist, meaning I dont consider a sortie a good sortie unless I'm landing my plane back at the airfield, with or without kills. This doesnt mean I wont engage in a good 1v1, even if I know the plane I'm engaging outclasses mine, I'll just try to be smart about it.

With that being said, theres really only 1 thing in this game that I dont respect.

-Consistent HOing. And sorry but the phrase 'it takes two to HO' is false. This is true about 75% of the time, but not all. Take this for example:

I dive in on someone from 2.5k. I get to 2k, then 1.5k, then suddenly the plane I dive in on pulls his nose up sharply and directly into me for a HO. I try to veer away from the HO but he charges at me guns blazing. And this happens not once, not twice, but multiple times in an engagement, to the point of getting a lucky shot while im trying to avoid colliding with him for the 123432th time. This kind of fighting really grinds my gears. Of all of the defensive tactics you could use, you go for a HO EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I wont lie, I will resort to using a HO sometimes, but VERY rarely. Like when i have 3+ enemies with higher E than me keeping me defensive all fight. If i look like I have no chance of winning one of those feeding frenzies I will do what I need to do to try to survive, even if it means a HO in a 1v3 as a last ditch effort. And I will HO bombers and 262s without thinking twice about it; Bombers because its probably the most effective way to attack a formation if you aren't above them, and 262s because.... well they are 262s.

Please help me out, what kind of flying behaviour do you respect?
Thank you.

Also you can tell me here why i suck an why im an idiot. Thank you.

In order of value:

Sportsmanship

This being behavior such as avoiding the HO, not jumping in a 2v1 (or even a 1v1. I've had enemies orbit overhead waiting for the fight to finish), passing on finishing off the damaged aircraft, and even simple acts like returning salutes to anyone you shot down, or who shot you down.


Tenacity

Hord almost over your base, and you still up to fight? You're in a tank, and die in place instead of retreating onto your base? One bomber left in the formation, engine out, and leaking fuel, but you keep heading to target?

All good examples of tenacity, and all things I can respect.


Mutual respect If I get a PM from the guy who killed me, saying good fight, or nice flying, I can't help but respect that guy.

Skill I respect guys who put up a good fight, or those that beat me, provided they're not excessivly arrogant, or actively mean.

I dont have much time to play the game anymore, I'm not as "good" as I used to be, but I still get that rush from fighting til the end....  SO, when I do bump in to that one con out of 100 that actually noses down and clean passes me on the merge..

1. If you don't gang. winging is not ganging. But you don't need 5+ wingmen. Hint hint 2 or 3 engage the rest stay top cover
2. If Don't ho. Especially when it's 5 v 1 and your among the 5. If your outnumbered do what you need to do though
3. I can understand extending to get E back. But running 2 sectors is not extending. Lose a lot of respect for that
4. DON'T ENGAGE IF YOUR NOT GOING TO FIGHT. If you disengage go home. If you chose to engage fight, it out. Choosing your fight is not being coward
5.The lamest thing i think you can do is vulch a wounded bird on landing. Unless your the one who hurt him or he is in a perk ride of-course

But thats just me.

It looks to me like you charged in with an altitude and speed advantage.

Do you expect them to try to run away instead of turn into you?

No, I would expect them to defend themselves in other ways than turning in at ramming speed every single time. It's one thing if you do it to merge in the vertical or to avoid giving me an easy shot, its a completely different thing when you point directly at my diving plane and hold the trigger from 800 out until i pass you, multiple times. There are other tactics you can use in that situation that don't include an immelmann directly proceeded by a HO. Plus that was only an example scenario. My point is people that feel the only way they can get a kill is to consistently HO get no respect from me.

1. If you don't gang. winging is not ganging. But you don't need 5+ wingmen. Hint hint 2 or 3 engage the rest stay top cover

So you're saying that you are allowed to dive in on a plane and point your nose at it but the person you are diving in on is not allowed to do the same?

Since you are diving in, you are the one controlling the terms of the fight.

Find a way behind your opponent or set up a high deflection passing shot.

I respect all that don't act like an bellybutton in the game nor make excuses every time they get shot down. 

I don't mind fighting the V Devils Brigade (when they ran their big misisons in LW).  I learned a lot from that.

I respect the guys that try to get a mission moving or posted. 

I respect the CMs and planners for the special events (all of the ones they do) as well as the aces high trainer corps.

And if you start posting crazy nonsense on channel 200 or all channel and I don't respond, you probably don't have my respect or I have detuned the channels so I don't get caught up in the chat drama.  It never really does any good...

Much mad respect for all I play with and against though.  Love the game and the peeps in it!!!

And those who have mastered their chosen rides / guns / style, Silat or Pawz in their P-38, MntMan in his Corsair, Joach1m in the K-4 and conversely Pjk, Fudmukkr in the 4Hog, MickyD in the G-14, Pervert in his 190D, WMaker in the Brewster Buffalo, Kazaa in, well, just about anything.

What I never can fathom, despite reading myriad posts in this vein, is when apparently everyone respects a fair player, who doesn't HO, calls off squaddies trying to gang in a good 1v1, always looks for an even fight as a test os their skill, doesnt run, doesnt hug their ack, then WHO THE HELL ARE THE 96% OF ALL THE PEOPLE I MEET IN GAME THAT ROUTINELY DO ONE OR ALL OF THESE THINGS? :bhead
