Pop up from NOE attack drop your bombs and alt-f4? Ive seen this three times in the last two days. Guess its time to empty the film bin and find out who the culprit is.
-
And this differes from your bish suicide hordes how?
-
Burn them!!!!!
-
That is a great tactic! Why waste time flying home??
You can get twice as many suicide runs in if ya don't have to fly home!
:)

sorry, but GPreddy has become a serious whiner since the contest... go outside get some air or something.
-
SunKing you must be one very serious person. I read what I posted several times and I fail to see a whine anywhere. I think therefore you must be the whiner and probably because you are jealous that I can fly a lot. Thats sad and not something to be jealous about. Maybe a few of us older fellas can buy you a beer at the next convention. You are old enough to drink arent you?:D
-
Now ya had to go pointing fingers instead of just playing 21 hours a day.
Ok, just a observation, but what's as sad and not something to be jealous about is you can fly alot because yer old lady knits alot by her choice. On your own admission of course, which is fine.
Still, seems like a good Teabaggin' might wake you both up. Spend 40 hours a month on that advise rather than a field gun, you'll thank me.
No charge,

Gpreddy How do You know it was alt f4?
Could they have dropped bombs to close and died.
The only way to tell for sure if alt F4 was to flim then film entire rooster to see if still on.
Just think its premature and inmature to point fingers at 1 side untill you show facts. To back up flaming a entire side. I've seen many of bishops goons jump out instead of waiting to be killed. Seen rooks do same thing, Seen guys disappear completly think maybe alt f4 but couldv'e been dump.
ONE thing I learned fast in here If you see other side do it,You can bet all sides do it.
JUST LIKE YOUR POST ON SUICIDE KNIGHTS ON CV'S I HAVE FILM OF 40 GUYS TRYING JU87'S F4US P47'S YOU NAME IT, aLL DOING SUICIDE RUNS. GUESS WHAT ALL BISHOPS FIRST THING i SAID WAS NEED TO SEND FILM TO GPREDDY.
Same as Ho's I've had guys try to HO me from all sides. Rooks Bishops and Knights. Every side has its problems Not one side is better than any other. well my 25 cents is up.
-
Rod I know it was alt-f4 because the guy was 6k in the air so no his eggs didnt kill him and he was in a buff form that simply vanished and none of them exploded. There was also a bishop in the air that got a kill for being within proximity to him or had pinged him but I was busy at the time and didnt ask just who it was. Vox was full of horseplay and laughter at that point anyway with someone acting more tardish than creamo even by using alt-f4 like that. As I said its not the first time Ive seen it as its obviously a habit with someone. We will know soon enough.
And its not just an issue with a country rod. I pointed out that knights are doing it to give people an idea of which direction to look for this guy. Yes Ive seen rooks suicide cvs too and in larger groups then knights but Ive never seen rooks suicide a cv that was already dead. It took a knight to do that.
-
I do have to give Bishops Props. They are only side that knows when to hit others for reset. and i've only been here about 4 months I think But I'm sure Bishops win wars half the time. They will back off hitting a country so country with lead has to do all the work, they will put missions toghter to steal bases as one side kills other. and steal away reset. Where as Rooks and Knights will hit each other to pulp and before they see it bishops have won reset.
good examples last week only. 86 bishops were on 37 rooks 36 knights, Knights were hitting rooks and vise versa. mean while bishops just rlling on.
couple of maps ago Rooks got knights to 2 fields bishops were 8 fields behind. Bishops put mission together to take rook bases to get lead. and they did. So rooks stop hitting knights let them take some base, What happens is alot more knights come in And hear rooks were on mainland . They attack mostly just rooks. So bishops start hitting rooks and sure enough When knights got rooks to 3 bases bishops went out stoled 5 bases fast and won a reset.
And I know exactly what was being said on knight radio. were only behind by 6 bases so if we take rooks last 8 bases we win by 1 or 2.

Voss nothing will stop suiciders untill we get a penalty system for dieing. Like 30 sec delay for a launch after u died.
as long as every 1 can up a new plane after he died ull see it on all sides.
Thats the reason why i say that strategic thinkging with the goal in staying allive doesnt have any chance in a a online game like AH at the moment.
For example if i make a Jabo mission with the goal in destryoing the fuel on a field i allways say: "We drop on fuel and if we hit or not we DONT go into ack, we will fly home to make it back allive."
We normally ending up circling in ack and dieing 1 after the other.
Thats the MA style. And we cant change it. 90% of the people play it like Quake, 10% wanna fly a little bit like in real life.
As long as it is not 50 50 better stop complaining about it.
And playing for score IMO is killing the fun completly. Then its not more fun to kill known score potato and have fuin watching his whine on channel 1.
my 2 cents

GPreddy, pay no attention to Sunking. He's just a post potato.

This wouldnt stop anything. Alt-f4 should lock you out of the arena for five to ten minutes but suicide on the other hand I cant agree with penalizing the way you suggested. I would like to suggest that alt-f4 should result in a message being seen at log in for the next few minutes at least. It should read something like "That account is already logged in and in use" or something similar. I think suicide has to be neutered in order to stop it. Penalizing a player wont stop it. However if his effort doesnt have the desired effect he wont do it. So if there were an easy way to determine suicide and the ship gets sunk maybe it could simply respawn really fast without transporting back to the port. Something else that has really been bothering me is the way that guys can dance into ack and not get killed. If you go anywhere near an ack train you will get wasted yet an f4u can fly right over to the cruiser and drop 2k from fifty feet in a suicide attack and succeed.

Gpreddy, I bombed you with the cookie bomb from Lancs when you and about 50 other gv's were trying to capture a base(along with the flying hoarde) I then landed three kills in the lancs. What is alt-4?
-
BTW, People will use any tactic they can to win, even more so when 4-1 odds.What, you want them to let you roll along?
Rod367, yes, Bish work well together, but it gets worse when newbies join the hoarde to say "we won the reset". Hopping on the bandwagon won't cure the problem. Yes, Knights and Rooks fight while Bish roll, but people spend their hard earned $$ on this game and you cant start giving orders over the country channel telling them who to fight. That is rude and doesn't help. All you can do is go in and try to have fun. Winning is nice, but not everything, it's just a flight sim.
-
Sixpence I wasnt talking about you and the incident you referred to was out of context anyway. I killed both your lancs with my flak and then your eggs hit me. Its weird because usually an aircraft does not get a kill after it dies but yours did. Today I saw one even better though. I killed a 190 in an ho but he got me too. I hit the ground and exploded and then he landed the sortie. He was over my field had no wing and no tail. How did he do that?
-
Post potato!!
BUMP!

If it's a suicide run, Swager, you're not flying home anyway...

absoultly no HOing

no ack hugging
no vulching
no usage of the word luftwhiner, luftwaffle or luftwobble
no massive goon drops
no engageing the enemy unless you have equal or lesser numbers
no spawn point camping
no sitting in the tower
no hiding the CV
Add to the list if I have forgotten anyting :)

Hey if they want to ruin their reps with alt-f4 let them. At the time I was expecting the guy to come back from the twilight zone behind me but when he didnt I laughed so hard a nearly cracked a rib. I do think that it really sets a new level of dweebery though and it is probably being done by someone that will never hit what they shoot at anyway. Yes their better off in the twilight zone.

Ya know, I do not choose to use this tactic, nor am I flying in the virtual skys much anymore either... but it seems to me, that most of the people could really give a rats diddly what others think of them...
Just a thought though :eek:
:p

...
It's not Alt+F4
With the new version, sometimes deaths and explosions just don't show up. This is especially very frequent with GVs. Nope, not a "ditch = proxy kill". Go and fight in enemy territory, where the enemy can just ditch to avoid giving a kill. I've gotten many kills in that situation where I didn't see a explosion.
Another instance is the 5 inch guns. Boom Boom, the guns fire, you see the enemy you aimed for just suddenly disappear, without an explosion, but you get the kill.

hehe, pretty good sneak attack wasn't it?
...oh, and tell your post potato mentor Cobra... duh huh..., he'll know what you mean, lol.

too bad we all can't have as good a reputaion as Gpotty :)
another whine for rude
opps thats right ,, this isn't a whine !!
some people whine so much they can't even tell the difference
-
Paint once again you demonstrate precisely how to be completely ignored.
Kweassa it most certainly was alt-f4. You can tell because a buff form doesnt just disappear when ack cant shoot it and no one is quite close enough to put guns on.
-
I read your post, Paint. So, try not to feel too badly that Voss is skipping over your posts while getting ready to post another whine.
SOB

:) SOMEONE DOES READ MY POSTS YIPPY!!!!

I heard this guy you talk about on country ch just after it happened and his words were '' how the hell did I get credited with victories and landing when I crashed ''
-
Flyin with the Knights, If someone does it, I havent heard them talk about it. So wipe the spit off of the screen and go after the next guy before he drops.
Good Huntin

Someone told me tonight that they got shot down then bailed out at ground level and opened the chute at the same time. He got a landed successfully message. There must be a bug.

It was a "cookie" :D

Shouldn't you have done that before this post?
