That's what I hear on range vox as I'm dodging and absorbing bullets from a rook f4u and p51. I stupidly find the time to look over my wing and I see my insolent countryman on the deck at an enemy base with about half a dozen rooks all over him. As a Knight I take this kind of accusation seriously. I would like to disclose the player's call sign but that's against the forum rules. I saved the film of this most unknightly behavior.

Oh my! Look at that!
*Points to the sky*
Its my last f*ck, and its flying away!

Ditto.
Just a few weeks ago as I was diving on a con over my base. With a quick glance I saw a country mate just past town being dived on and gave a quick check 6 and continued my dive.
Next thing I know I am being called every expletive in the book over local voice channel. I was the lowest of the low for not breaking my dive and bail him out. I was not worth this person's scum the bottom of his shoe. I was the worst vermin ever to step foot on this planet when he was done with his rant. I honestly did not know he was in such a bad way and also expected me to save him.
I tried to explain but he would have none of it.
Shrugg. What can you do!??

Change sides and hunt him?

I get a kick out people like him. Never ever blame someone else for you get shot down. Ever. You're responsible for your own action or lack of action. Always.

I tend to blame the guy who shows up in the text buffer...
-
I enjoy it when someone compplains about a lack of check 6s. I follow them around and give them enough check 6s (when they don't need them) until they stop whining.
-
Hahahaha...I had that happen a few times.. one of the most memorable was I was on the deck turning with two and said other was about 4 k away .. headed my way... I noticed a con dropping in on them but being that my fingers were busy I only managed to get a 'check it' out before I needed to get my finger back on the hat switch...I hear a boom and notice the green guy gone... the text buffer had a couple of indirect (direct) jibes...I carried on killed the two I was fighting which scared the third which had just killed the green guy into running (190 just by the way)... so I head back all battered and bruised only to get into range and the ranting started...I couldn't even see him yet hahahaha .... anyway suffice to say I apologized for not giving a definitive call and promised I would work on my skills to ensure that next time I could properly exercise a well informed and pronounced check 6 .....
to be fair and honest...it wasn't such a civilized response but it was along those lines hahaha :D
that's half the reason I try to fly alone or with other who don't care... I suck as a wing man....can't hit toejame when it counts haha
-
When unfathomable things like that happen to me, I have a bowl of ice cream and watch Ellen. The world's always a better place.
Better luck next time, cuz.

One knight, surrounded by half a dozen rooks,low at a rook field....... sounds like even odds, i woulda felt sorry for the rooks

I tend to blame the guy that shot me down after all it's all his fault anyway! :furious :neener:

I try do give as many check sixes as possible, especially if the greeney doesn't seem to notice him. If he yells at me because I don't, it's most likely I didn't see the guy because I was worrying about the eight other planes on my six. :joystick:

On the other hand, could you imagine how mad they would have been if he had fought all of them off?
Man. You are so cool.
Tell me more about this level of coolness, please!!!

Knights don't fighter over enemy bases. They only run all the way home and only then get brave when they are in their ack. :lol

Joe Blow stages from a base. Inside of 10 mins, he flies himself into a mess. Sorry Joe. You put yourself there.

I had a squeaker use the adjective that implies I prefer sexual relations with women who've had children after I didn't alert him that he had cons shooting tracers by his canopy in a furball. :rofl
Typical furball range chatter, my G940 was starting it's button short debacle (which included my former check 6 button), and I figured he was exiting the furball low and fast because he saw the tracers coming past his canopy.
I guess I understand. I always prefer to have something/someone to blame when I screw a golf shot up. :)
-
The title of this thread threw me off because it's exactly what I say when a teammate comes in to HO or pick the target I'm 300 off while my tracers are flying.
-
Hehehe, I don't worry about it, cause I'm the bait! :lol
-
I can't believe this many people are this interested in something that happens almost as much as people taking a breath during the day.

It was call sign Draggon. There I said it.

I enjoy it most when you've battled a guy down from altitude, saddled him up and squeeze the trigger only to watch your rounds hammering into the arse end of a countryman who's charging in for the steal. After all it's entertaining landing your crippled plane with a pw caused by your own fire :bhead

-"Help me, its a F-in cheater, his brewster is outturning my brewster!!!"
10 seconds later
-"Help me, F you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
3 seconds later
-"F you, friggen muppet!!!!"
troof! :lol

Don't you love seeing those tracers go right past you and into the target in front of you? Maybe it's their way of telling me my gunnery skills suck :headscratch:

That one's even more fun.
-
Sometimes I feel sad for the friendly that sucks so bad he can't shoot an nmy 200 in front of him. After watching the first half of the friendly's clip go to waste I feel obligated to help :banana:
-
It was call sign *******. There I said it. Check earlier post for callsign
And that doesn't surprise me one bit. Not to get off on too much of a tangent but I have history with this particular person and he 'boils over' relatively easy.
I remember (and will never forget as i have a video of the entire thing) one day I shot him down three times. The second and third time he comes over to my squad's VOX and lays into me for being a picker. Thing is both the times he whined about it he was at co E with me in a spit and decided to dive down to the deck to nab the low and slow guy without much of a chance.
Dont take his rant seriously. It's not worth the frustration in this case.

The bolded text should pass across the center of the screen every time you are shot down to remind some people.
It is nobody's obligation to watch your six except your wingie and your squaddies. It is also not anybody's obligation to come clear your six when you dive into a pack of red on the deck and get target fixated.
It's nice when people help you, it's the smart thing to do, and I do it whenever possible, but it's not something you should ever expect at the level of telling people off when they don't over vox/text. Your six is nobody's responsibility but your own.
Just MHO.

Here I am, note tracers from two different sources.

I remember once a few years ago I was in deep doo doo, alone on the deck with about ten red guys swirling about me. Out of the blue (literally) I hear over vox "Bald, you look like you're in trouble. Need help?" I caught a glimpse of two friendlies passing by overhead and replied "Nope, I've got em".
I died shotly after but there's no way I was going to intentionally drag two more friendlies into a mess I'd created on my own (and on purpose I might add).
This was at a time in my AH "career" that I'd look at the map, find the most overwhelming odds against me and fly into it thinking that would be the best way to help my country and often it was. Lemmings will swarm to a lone con taking them out of other fights, holding them up and allowing others to reach their bases and then stop them low and slow.
Clearly this person had no concept of "sacraficial lamb" or in my case, sacraficial BaldEagl.

Get another cartoon plane, fly back and dive in again.
Psst! You aren't really dying. If you were, you'd never have put yourself in that kind of spot to begin with :aok

I want some of THIS guy. I love listening to the altfairies romance us with stories of vicious battles as they go flying by and back up to their perch, all the while dusting their wings with baby powder and vagisil.

:mad:
I've had this happen to me so many times the past two months I finally started calling people out on range about it. I can see it happening in a big furball when everyone's hair is on fire wanting a kill...but it's been happening more and more even in small engagements. Last month I was in a pretty fun 1v1 when some sweetheartbag pounces in out of nowhere just when I pulled the trigger on the guys six and BANG....radiator hit on my plane.

You lobbed a 12 clearing accusation in my general direction (I assume since I got the kill) when a con you were chasing pulled up and across my nose a few nights ago.
At least I didn't dive in front of you. :angel:
-
:o
Sorry dude. My recent frustration with these sorts of situations overcame my normal good humour.
I don't believe I called you out directly... if memory serves I said something like "Whoever that was...thanks for clearing my damn 12" ....had I known it was you, I'd not have done so as I know you to be a decent, honourable sort.
Please ignore my rants....my meds should be arriving in the mail shortly. :x

sacrificial BaldEagl.
No such thing as a sacrificial Bald Eagle.
There is however "Mobbing" an antipredator behavior which occurs when individuals of a certain species (country) mob a predator by cooperatively attacking or harassing it, usually to protect their offspring (score).

Hehe... no problem man.
It sounded like there may have been more to it and/or just one of those nights we all have. I had one last night as a matter of fact. :)
-
I've been thinking about the op and while incidents like that suck, I kinda feel they are offset when you get a greenie that works with you in a bad situation. In that when you find yourself trapped, spontanous teamwork kicks in and you fight well. Thats a good feeling when that happens.

The Guy who whines about no check 6 is the first one to get you kill shot as he jumps in front of your guns. :rolleyes:
-
I know I'm not alone here, but I often ask if "you've got him" before I jump in. And believe it or not, I've actually been asked the same question a few times. Reason for this is not entirely altruistic, although I don't like to be a real Designated Hitter either, but I'm not giving up my E to go get an assist or be the reason for anyone creating a post like the OP.
Funny thing here is, I see the reasons for being a DH is related to score, I'm not finished with my experiment yet, but here goes:
All last tour I did everything (almost, no killing shades or anything like that) to try and better my score. I wouldn't resupp towns or fields (I did drop gv supps,) I wouldn't up from a capped base, I wouldn't meet the horde, yada yada, you get the point. Doing all this to see what my score would be when I had the advantage to begin with. This tour I'm doing whatever I feel like and whenever, aka fun. Guess what; so far my score is really not that much different, except for gv score... Reason for that is a good camp hasn't come my way yet. Of course this tour isn't done yet, but I doubt that I'll conclude anything different than score is irrelevant and also makes you miss a lot of the fun.
If anybody out there isn't having fun, maybe look at your approach to the game. Sure we all get frustrated about things, and sometimes part of the fun is getting somebody who used to always foil you, but I see a lot on 200 re: score...I just don't know what it matters, there's nothing at stake. Online reputations are exactly that, they're online...
Enjoy, have fun! :cheers: :salute

I see you like to throw my name out there, when first you never said what I did, and second, I have NO IDEA what your talking about, but from the sounds of it, neither do you! and if something WAS said in the heat of a battle, get over it and grow up and stop crying on the forum like a 5 yr old baby.
