You know what I'm getting tired of...getting shot down by the super pilots in their super squads.
All month long 6 v 1, 4 v 1, 5 v 1...
how many super pilots does it take to kill one plane.
Have fun with your game, boys...I'm done.

Excellent use of sarcasm :aok I approve

Last time I checked getting ganged is one's fault...

This is supposed to push you to want to be better. :old:
Stay and learn DANGIT!!!

Find a few people to wing with and engage the enemy when the odds are more to your liking. Going solo in this game is difficult to say the least, even for the best of sticks. If you are always outnumbered, the odds of success are very poor.
There is a lot more to the game than just dogfighting. Jump in a tank and go shoot up an enemy base. Go bomb the hangers the enemy are using to fly out of to move there fight somewhere else.
Lots of other things to do besides dogfight.

I owned a Kodiak once. I upgraded to a Pentiax. :)

He will be back with a new name . He is in and out alot because of his little temper tantrums

I think I'll take a moment to irony my shirt.

I know it won't happen, but I wish people would exchange their collective pair for individual pairs. Nothing is more annoying than when you outfight someone, abs they start running right until their buddies get within 4k. At that point, they start shouting "my kill, mine! I was fighting him first"
For such people, I wish only a plauge of roaches, and blueballs for failing to get rid of said roaches.

Kodiak, it's human nature to vent on the boards after dealing with weaklings but the side effect is those same weaklings, such as this one, will just pigpile you here as well. Take Valu's advice and mix it up a bit. Fly in the KOTH if you can make them, more often than not some good intense fights will be found there. Grab some friends and hit the DA for a few hours, jump in a tank for a few days and see how the other half live, and there's always FSO which is some of the best fun to be had in the game. That or just take a break before you burnout. Whatever you do, don't let the hordelings run you off. :aok
-
I feel your pain OP. Like slash said, the organised stuff in this game is fun, but the free for all of the MA is a unique experience. If you're looking for a fair fight don't play in the MA. It's kinda weird to go into a game with that mentality so I understand your frustration.
-
If ya see me on Kodiak, give me a shout...ill wing with ya....even the odds a bit :aok
-
The frustration that the OP's describing is a rite of passage that we've all dealt with, but from my own experience I can tell you that when I got "ganged" like he described, it was almost ALWAYS my own fault. Sure, if you're looking for a fair fight, go to the DA. But if you appreciate a REAL fight, which in no way means FAIR, then suck it up, learn from your mistakes, and work at becoming one of those "super pilots" yourself. Practice and repetition WILL get you there. Whining won't.
-

Assuming you've really been playing the game for less than a month (forum member anyway) I suggest you reconsider your tactics and expectations. Squads often fly in numbers. Whether or not it's FAIR that's how it works. The super squads employ wingman tactics. Their mission is to kill you. Your mission is to stay alive. There's umpteen ways of staying alive that don't involve engaging 4 enemy opponents at the same time.

This is a great answer. Good on yas. :cheers:

Don't listen to crabby..he loves to get ganged on..he won't even up until there's at least 3 red dots close by :D try changing country, tactics, jump in a gv etc.Don't give up on the game. :salute

Just once as Badger for 10 months, and then after 6 months off came back as Kodiak for 3 months. That was enough :)
-
I remember when Badger flew JG5.

It was a lot of fun, I had a lot of insurance forms to fill.

Hey sculzie he's funny huh?

I bet you don't get too many funny guys like that up in Bodoe Norway.. Then again Bodoe Norway is a ways off the map u really think lol?
-
Bodø is quite a ways off the map if you're not from around here. However, we actually do have a few funny peeps here too! :aok

Right, well just wanted know why the Cscholz is such a cool guy with a cool vibe.. keep up the good work.. :lol and Salute to a truly brave character Csholz
-
I have a long standing policy of not dropping in on 1 on 1's of others without asking first if they need help. Sometimes I miscalculate but if two guys are having the fight of their life I dont believe in picking it at 400 mph. Its probably why I dont kill much anymore, or one of the reasons.

It's G for Günther Scholz. He was a Luftwaffe pilot that served here in Bodø with JG5 at one point. He survived the war and wrote a book.

If you're coming on to me and you're a guy I'm flattered, but I don't swing that way. If you're a girl PM me some nudes and we'll see! I feel I must warn you though, you'll have to stay married to me for at least three years before you can apply for citizenship... ;) :cheers:

I follow the same code. However if I don't get an answer on VOX I attack regardless.

:lol how did you get a pic of the mascot for the horde squads
-
I'd like to know what Kodiak defines as a "supersquad"?
If it's just a squad of less than average pilots, what did he expect? They fly and fight as a gang because they can't survive or get kills any other way. If that is the case, it's not difficult to deal with them if you have SA and a plan....

The Muffintops are a "supersquad". We gang and horde like crazy!

Fixed.

Kodak. You flew into 3 of us from the 56th the other night . And you were outnumbered 3 to 1. . I do remember giving you props to the fellas because you stuck it out and fought. <S>

I thought you followed the same rule as me, ask then dive in and pick and apologize for not hearing the reply :).

I've been ganged before, so what! I kind of got a kick out of how long it took them to get me. Then I thought later what if I was a bit more alert or what other strategies I could have tried. I'm still replaying some of those fights and opportunities in my head. I'll come up with something.
-
Its a different game today. Its the ones today who are saying " Well, dont fly into that situation!" that ended up outnumbering the rest, and their views on how it should be played became the norm. Hmm, sounds familiar.

Lol no... :)
However I will circle above the fight secretly hoping the friendly loses :P

Ya me too. Or if the friendly is in an obvious "about to die" situation.
The 1 on 1's like we had often in the old days, the ones that leave your hands shaking win or lose, are to sweet and infrequent to just bust up for reasons of stats. Boy I can still remember the best ones even after many years of having had them. :salute
-
Same here, and those fights are still to be found... At least last year when I last played the game. :salute

Kodiak,
If you see me on, feel free to PM me and I'll fly your wing. I fly alone in the MA quite a bit, so I know how to deal with the gang and pick crowd. Takes some timing, tactics and SA to set up properly, but they also tend to die quite easily because they've never learned to fight defensively.
You and I can have some laughs by killing one or two of them and watching these "super pilots" run all they way back to their ack.
<S>

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the offer and if I re-subscribe sometime in the future I'll look you up :aok
-
Don't quit so fast. Sure sometimes you might get jumped by more than one.
You learn a lot that way too :aok
It'll teach you to at least try to stay away from a bunch.
Try diving in on 1 or 2, not 5-6 at a time.
Maybe sometime you'll be on the 5-6 side attacking 1.
:cheers: Oz

It's not an easy game, and not for the faint of heart and easily angered. With no power ups and pay for an advantage super powers it takes skill to be successful (or help).
The only thing standing between being eaten by, and being one of the super pilots is stick time and training.
:salute and enjoy your break.

My squad will fly in a finger four when our number of pilots on allows, but that is usually against a horde or into a huge furball. Wether way, we are still out numbered when we do this, plus we can at least hold a nice formation, instead of the "mini-horde" some of these squads fly...

I've been playing for about 9 yrs, and I have yet to see a single Finger 4 formation in this game. I do see duos that fight cooperatively though, and those with good communication and a little common sense can be a real handful, even when outnumbered.

A four ship fingertip will be a welcome sight vs the typical "same way, same day" string formation. :salute
