Title: For the sanity of us all...
Post by: Kieran on June 03, 2002, 09:04:46 PM
...would someone of good repute, preferably someone Spanish and knowledgeable, present a list of what a man flies in the MA? Put it in order of preference. Make a parallel list of dweeb planes too.

I just think it is tragic that HTC has modeled all of these planes that no one should ever fly, but we the consumer can take matters into our own posturing hands and ostracize those unfortunate noncompliant pilots suffering from the illusion of an ability to fly what they like.

The P-47 is easily the most macho plane in AH.  Anyone of Latin descent can fly it with ultimate confidence in his manhood.

Stay away from the P-51 and Spitfire, for obvious reasons.

Sometimes.... if no one is nearby... I sit in the SpitFieur on the runway and I think to myself, "In thees plane, I will one day fly."

But the shame of it is too strong.  :p

Main rides:  Everything but the 202/205/Yaks  <<
Dweeb rides:  No such thing.  My view of a Dweeb ride is totally based on the people who create the Dweeb-Ride idea in the first place.  In other words,

..there are Dweebs, but the plane itself has little to do with it.  All attitude.
Title: For the sanity of us all...
Post by: CptTrips on June 04, 2002, 12:57:56 AM
There is only the P-51.

All other planes are actually incapable of flight.  They are just so damn ugly the earth repels them.

Fly what ever plane you like, as for "dweeb planes", there is no such a thing really (Though the 200 spits can get a little annoying lol ), If you don't like a plane just don't fly it, learn its weaknesses/strengths and shoot it! :)

I suggest you fly all planes, learn how they handle&what they do best and choose the 1 that you like.

If you want a challenge try early war planes like F4u-1 (my favorite :D ) val,a6m2 & P40 will also be interesting to fly, Especially val, cant wait to try out a fixed gear plane.... just that much closer to a biwinger! :D

lol, i'll bite, too:

Main ride:

your 6 after you miss the HO.. buck harder, i like a rough ride!!

Dweeb rides:

HO's
Runners
hordemonkey Gangers
ack bunnies


i'm not afraid to engage 1 or 2 no matter the situation my advantage or not - one gets better by trying and doing.

i realize people have different motives for playing, but the ones with the above dweeb rides are the ones i look down at, and even then only "vets" who continue to fly dweeb rides. newbies are as newbies do and they learn by watchng what established players do.

That's exactly what I find so amusing - categorizing and complaining about dweeb planes.


reminds me of that quote from Haley Joel Osmond in Sixth Sense

"I see dweebs. They're all around me  - some of them don't even know they are dweebs"


or something along those lines

Main Rides:

 Me 109 G10
 Fw 190 D
 F4U-D/C (carrier and jabo first option)
 A6M5
 also other american planes like P38, P47, Hurri(*) as jabo.
 

Rides for dweebs:
 
 Spit V
 Spit IX
 La 7  
 


Hurri is a panzer and pt killer machine. If you need perks, kill pt's with hurri. Usually 3 pt's kills = + 10perks.

Why preferably Spanish?
Please dont put in the same bag all Spanish only cause a couple of them, too biased, are who usually post here.
There are many more who think different and dont show arround here.
I find your way to ask this as an intended despise.
Even some had bit the hook :D

G10 is superior to most planes in AH.  It can handle N1K's and LA7's with ease.  Good plane choice.  I flew it alot when with JG2.

Hmmm, this thread smells suspiciously like Cheezy Poofs.

But I'll nibble anyway.

I find that flying the Typhoon increases sperm production.

Flying the C47 actually allowed me to regrow the nut I lost to cancer 3 years ago. Now there's a marketing campaign HTC could use.

I don't fly it personally, but I've heard stories of Yak flying increasing hair folicle growth without the need for messy creams and gels. It also makes acres of coleslaw. In Japan, it can be used like a knife!

As for dweeb planes: there aren't any. There's an as*load of dweeb pilots tho. Like the Spit that was shooting at my squadmate from 2k away last night. Or the Hellkitty that decided to turn fight with me last night. He blowed up real good and I noticed that he had Acme Dweeb Escape Aparatus stenciled on his chute.

As always, YMMV ...

The only "mans" ride is the C-47.  It shows you are a team player and are unconcerned with perks.  By Gawd, any twerp with a joystick can get a kill with a gun but it takes a real pilot to get them by manuver!

Obviously the "dweeb" rides are all those that have at least one mg.

Sheesh!

Reminds me of the time I captured a town at an enemy field, I immediately exited, then re-upped at C47 at the freshly captured field while 2 enemy were taking off under now-unfriendly AA fire...I got 2 kills in my goon sitting on the runway. :D

i'm real good at getting into them, for sure... improving on getting out of them, too.  nothing beats dragging 3-4 cons away, seeing 2-3 peel off and then turning around and mugging the 1 or 2 that still had the termity to keep chasing me.

bullets? i doan need no steenkin bullets!!
