WTFG ##!¤&%# knights
Why is it that people value their worthless vulch-kills more than anything else? After flying a goon for 20 minutes, it is pretty irritating to get shot down within sight of the town just because the f#¤ idiot vulchers cant get their head out of their f&%#¤ a##¤&.

Trust me, getting shot down by someone who came in from the "wrong" direction for the vulchers, despite repeatedly asking for help is pretty damn annoying. Especially when you are in sight of 20+ friendlies.

From now on, Im gonna up a lanc and level every field I can before I even think about gooning again.

I declare myself to be the knight vulchers worst enemy from now on. Every retarded vulch I see, I will ruin with my mighty lanc.

F#&% you knights

Post by: Hortlund on April 16, 2002, 03:22:45 AM: Wow..Im so proud. And this means SOO much to me. Thank you. No..I mean it, THANK YOU Rude, for your wonderful "whine of the week"-threads.

I lost a 262 while typing the other night too, you should have heard the $1.000.000 whine I produced then...

I was SOO sure that I was all alone, and I saw a goon heading for a field of ours. I had just enough fuel to make it back so I didnt attack him myself. Instead I started typing on the radio "goon IB 24 (or whatever)". But I realized I probably needed to be a bit more specific.

Scene in cockpit of a Me 262:

Lt Hortlund, the pilot, struggles with map, zooming it in a bit so he can see the coordinates.

Lt Horlund -"Hmm..lets see, I am here, the goon was there I wonder what coordinates that is.

Lt Hortlund tries to make out the tiny coordinates on the map (he plays on 800x600).

Lt Hortlund -"Damn, the numers are too small. And I'm on maz map-zoom. Where is that other zoom button"

Lt Hortlund presses the "z" key, effectively filling the entire screen with the map.

Lt Hortlund -"Ahh, thats better, I can see the coordinates now"

Lt Hortlund brings up the radio buffer and begins to type "goon IB a24, 10 6 1 alt..."

RRRRRRRRRARARTATATATATATATATATATATATATA

Lt Hortlund -"Uh?"

TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA

Lt Hortlund is sent to the tower

Lt Hortlund finds himself staring in disbelief at the screen

Lt Hortlund -" [$ 1.000.000 wine deleted to protect the innocent]"

On the positive side..I'm back to 17 fighter perks already, so I should be able to fly another 262 around midsummer...

Yup.. knew that. I have found however, that it is faster to click "z" and get mega-zoom right away rather than "ins"-zoom it.

Besides, I have not figured out yet how to zoom a portion of the map where I am not. The "ins" thing always zooms around "me".
