Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on January 23, 2003, 07:55:12 PM
I met BGBmaw online recently. As much as I hate the MAWs (bunch of N1k1 gangbangers, a disgrace to their squad name):D, I had a good time fighting against him.

He remembered me of TOWD. He insults you first but after you pass the initial confrontation, he's a respectfull nice guy. By far the most skilled MAW I met online.:)

Don't worry, I shot down his 163 with my Yak9U last night.  If he gets out of hand you can remind him about how he lost a big-ticket perk ride to a second-tier fighter.

Don't underestimate the Yak 9U. it's a great fighter, small, fast and nimble. Only weak guns and not much ammo.

There are actually a few decent MAW's - BGB is one of them - a class act.

Flew with him last night, and I believe that the BIG ticket on a 163 last night for the Knights, at that time, was 12 whole perks !!!

Seing as "BigB" only had 20 perks in the bank (he is really a terrible pilot, can't hit the broad side of a barn, so not much perkies for him), it probably was a big ticket item for him.

lol xoxo BGB :D

Having winged with him often, i would concur. :D  He has gotten good at prepping the enemy plane so I can come in for the kill. Took awhile to train him to just hit aleirons, elevators but leave plane intact.

One thing about BigB, his is fun to have on VOX, always colorful & flying with people like him is big part of reason I fly as often as I do.

Also had pleasure of meeting & golfing with him, was a blast. Except I found it very annoying to hear "CHECK 6" every time I lined up for a putt.

So BigB...CHECK 6!!!!!!

Ice ..

All you have to do is fly an La-7 and get about 800 off his six. He will fly straight and level for ya ...  and then send them 20mms home ... :D

He admitted that he was pissed at first, but then blamed HIMSELF for being complacent and fired a <> my way. Thats the way it should be.

For that, he will always be respected in my book !!! Plus the 13th TAS were the ultimate professionals in the squad duel.

You should know your peers better ICEmaw. Your own squadron  [M.A.W.] Headquarters has the most kills in :

N1K1 with 312 kills. Followed by P51 w/204 and third place is D9 w/144.

You guys may be sick with the N1K1 tag ... but here's the stat.

Don't get me wrong ICE and 38, I think the MAWs are are a very effective squadron in the MA thank to their number and mission planing. You should know me by now, I have a biff with squadrons who have a name that doesn't reflect what they fly. Marine Air Wing ... well:p

I have to admit, I would like it better if we flew only Blue planes. But that's me, and I fly the F6f anf FM2 mostly anyway.

But this is not a roleplaying game, and we're not a role playing squad. We have to fly planes that will keep up competitive.

Did'nt the marines take delivery of some ponies? I know they had '38s. We already checked into that.

i am not talking about the guys that fly niks. i do not! i dont have a singal sortie in a nik this camp cant remember the last time i flew 1. i have the majority of kills in blue planes check my stats. you have flown niks so to call someone a nik dweeb maybe you should look in the mirror while you say it
Title: BGBmaw
Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on January 24, 2003, 04:06:27 PM
Competitiveness wise, you guys can afford to be true to your name or "close enought".

Between
- F4U1, F4UD, F4UC, F4U4
- FM2
- F6F

You have the full range between turnfight better than a spit, to fast planes, passing thru "effective jabo load".

Maybe you guys should rename yourself "Main Arena Warriors" and have :
NiponMAW, VvsMAW, JagMAW and MawMAW.

I'm teasing, I understand. It just raises my blood level when I see "Gabreski landed 7 kills in a N1K1" or "Agaland landed 3 kills in a LA7" on a regular basis. I have the upmost respect for squads that match their names despite their performances, the other squad are just considered "gamers" to me. No offense at all for you MAW guys, you have fun in AH and it's all what matters after all.

ROFL ... are you kidding me, I didn't treat YOU personaly, I treated your SQUAD. And the stats are there (most kills in a N1K1), sorry mate.

Now if you want to get nasty with the numbers :
As far as saying I have "3 times as many flights and deaths than I do in a n1K1" that's not true. 3 times 0 equal 0.
I have 3 kills more than you in a N1K1.

You may be respectfull to the Marines name flying blue planes, and I salute you for it, but don't jump on me when I say that your squad is not.

"As much as I hate the MAWs (bunch of N1k1 gangbangers, a disgrace to their squad name)

I don't have a problem with people who fly N1k's. I don't do it personally, but there are enough of them out there to understand why they do it. There are dozens of great planes in this game that we pay for that are worth trying out and having fun in. I respect more the people who fly a number of planes regularly.

In that regard, your squad also falls short Frenchy.
Title: BGBmaw
Post by: icemaw on January 24, 2003, 05:15:44 PM
Maybe I have your online handle wrong but stats page show frenchy with 3 kill in 13 kills of 3 killed by and 4 deaths in niks
while icemaw shows
0 kills in 27 kill of 5 killed by and 0 deaths in
 40dogmaw who I respect very very much as a leader and a online pilot and a friend likes to fly niks he has 173 kills in nik. Over half of the number you posted. 40 does not by any means need to fly a nik to get kills. He does well in any plane he flys. How ever he choses to fly it and its his 15 duckets so he can fly what he likes. Once in a while we will fly a mission on squad night in niks why not I see lots and lots of bish and rook niks in the air. You fly other planes besides the p47. You may see xxxmaw landing kills in niks but you also see lots of xxxmaw landing kills in other planes including blue ones. I dont fly blue planes cause I am in a virtual squad of marines. I fly um cause I like to but I also like to fly lots of others ones just as you do. And why not its your 15 duckets fly what ya want.

 Now dont get me wrong I am not boiling mad upset pissed off etc etc. Just tired of hearing crap some times and most of what I post is in jest. How ever my humble opinion is your statemet

bunch of N1k1 gangbangers, a disgrace to their squad name),

is incorrect.

 Oh and finally I dont know what the big deal is about this suposed uber nik cause I have no problem killing them. The same thing can be said about any of the other so called uber dweeb rides. Its not the plane its the pilot flying it and the way he flys it that makes the dweeb a dweeb its not the plane. If some nik pulls a sweet move on me and gets a shot thats fine with me. He is most likley a skilled pilot that flys what he wants with his money. How ever any pilot in any plane that goes for a pure HO or other typical dweeb type moves well nuff said. Hmm seems to me I have done just that before DAMN guess im a dweeb. BUT I DONT FLY NIKS DAMNIT. Guess I just dont want to be lumped into the mass a newbie with no skills.

 Ok I have said my peace Im done.
Kill you later =S=

Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on January 24, 2003, 05:23:13 PM
I totaly understand Slapshot. Nothing you can do about being cathegorized because of what your squadron flies. Heck if the 56th starts to fly D9s tomorrow, I'll still fly Thunderbolt mainly because it's a plane that inspires me. If I fall into the D9 dweeb cathegory, should I get mad? No, it's the squad I belong to.

By the same talken, if instead of " I'm sick of ", Ice or 38 would have said :"Hey check it out, some of us don't fit in the description", I would have throw a big salute, heartly deserved.

ManX  like I said, it's a preference choice. Personally I have nothing against the "dweeb" cathegory plane a squad flies. The Broncos, TAS fly P51 and run when in trouble, hell yeah do it. It's the plane they love, they use it to it's full potential, they are dedicated to their squad names, I'm happy.

Same when the Tokio boys fall on you with a cloud of N1K1, or some RAF bring on Spits.

Also, I like when a squad uses the same type of plane when they do a mission or chase the same objective. It makes them look like a squad, not like a gang out of the street. When a whole squad is attacking a field with 10 various type of planes and NOE B17s ... my respect level is droping considerably, whatever the outcome.

Again, what I like or look foward from Aces High is my own opinion and I understand others not sharing it. What I find gamey, dweebish, silly will be different for others and it's normal. Nevertheless, I do have the right to express what I think as long as it's not pure fantasie, if anyone wants to start a catfight "you the dweeb, no you the dweeb" I let you argue and have fun with it, there will be no winner.
Title: BGBmaw
Post by: TheManx on January 24, 2003, 06:12:44 PM
I of course respect what plane you choose to fly Frenchy, but no more than I respect anyone elses. To berate a squad due to the historical accuracy of their plane type is as wrong as berating your squad for the manner in which you fly your choice of rides. I find the Maw's style of fighting more in tune with history than I find the 56th style.

No, you didn't find US Navy pilots flying N1k's all that often, but on the other hand not all P47 pilots were primadonna's picking and choosing their engagements to enhance their "score". Sometimes war was just a furball (ie Battle of Britain) where not only the dweebs lost, but everyone sustained casualties. I can't tell you how often I've seen a MAW N1k (or any other plane) climbing up to me with the distinct intention of removing my presence from the arena. Sometimes they were successful, sometimes they weren't. Now that's history.

To be honest, I prefer fighting MAW's as I know I'll get a fight out of the deal instead of chasing 2 high Jug's 3 sectors to have them dive into ack waiting for a proxy kill.

Hopefully you don't take this wrong Frenchy, your squad does have the right to fly the way it does. What I say, shouldn't have any influence over that at all. On the other hand, you can't come in here making brash judgements on how a squad should/shouldn't play the game and expect them not to feel as you likely will after reading this. :)

"you know this guy doesnt fly with a rudder??? "

Heh heh, I sympathize with him  :)

I don't use a special rudder.
Or a throttle.
OR a view hat  :D

Of the three, I miss the rudder most.  Throttle is nice but not really necessary, and IMO the view hat is useless (keyboard is superior for views--needless to say, my keyboard setup is VERY different from the AH default).

I see nothing wrong with a squad that doesn't stick to the same plane as its historical counterpart.  This is AH, not reality  :)

Well, one thing for sure, the 56 FG is getting alot of publicity lately, and mostly it is good.

Frenchy has always been one to have a thing with historical named squads.  Don't take it personally folks.  It's just his pet peeve.  Me personally, anymore I fly whatever I want to.  Unless its a squad thing and we will gravitate to the jug.  But this tour, I haev flown whatever I felt like and I would expect any other paying customer to do the same.  I quit listening to diatribe from those that would ridicule for how I (or any of my squad members..eh..friends) would enjoy their payed for time in AH a long time ago.  Hello manx; long time, no listen.

To the MAW's.  You guys have flamed my tail enough to get my respect in your abilities. Heres to many more great fights in the virtual skies.

I think the MAW and AK ' shave a good figth....

Its really the only squad i know..(just beacuase of there name TAG's)..My memory is bad sometimes...

but i do know ammo and others..and 95% of our Rook and Bish nmes are good folk...Salute..again

Look forward to Hopefully seeing the backside of all of you soon..:D.


1 more thing...i think it s cool to play in the TOD's..and have to protect..or get escort from your "enemy" squads from the MA...its really a good way to show..that we all are here just to have a good time.....

I have a good memory of seeing a group of AK's on the dek getting jumped by soem yankees (in the channel)in a TOD..first tiem i ever said..HEY!!! we go tto help the AK's. inn in  inn..!!!..lololoo was good

Salute BiGB

P.S. I notice we do have a few MAW who play rather Intoxicated...and soemtimes type rather..ummm vulgar/harsh words...."I admit i have done it..but when im at urbMAW's house.under his name....hes usally already passed out..so sorry in advance...i feel like drinkn and smokn again soon:D heheh

Post by: muckmaw on January 25, 2003, 07:38:47 PM
There is something to be said about the relationship between the MAW and the AKs.

I know there is mutual respect for each other. Proof? When a MAW takes out an AK, he makes it known to the squad on VOX. Any other opponent squad, not a word. The AKs always get announced, Why?

Because we know how good they are. And when they win a fight, you'll hear it on VOX too. "Watch your prettythang boys, that's the AKs down there."

So to the Arabian Knights...who fly Bishops....*shrug*



Winning or losing, it's always a pleasure.

Key word is "I". Not everyone shares my way of thinking, nor do I agree with what every squad member of the 56 FG thinks. But we do respect each other and we have a good time. I believe we had this private conversation a long time ago.

ManX, you should read the whole thread and my responses with more attention. I do not "hate" the MAWs for flying N1K1s, but for impersonating a unite/branch name and not respecting it.

It's like those guys who walk around pretending they were a Navy Seal or Ranger, when they actually served as a cook, if they served at all. Or those mrons you meet at a cocktail party: "Oh you are French? Me too! My great grand father came from France".

If you pick a name, do your best to live up to it's meaning. I can picture myself at home runing around in a German uniform wearing my grand father name tag and medals ... oh man ... the beating I would have received :D

In this sentence, the MAWs are not a disgrace because they suck, they are a disgrace because they are  not trying to impersonate who they claim to be.

As for the N1K1 tag, it's one of their plane of choice. As for the Ganger, when they come, they come in group and you better bail in sight.

Anyway ManX, I don't see why you come here steer the toejam, as you are not a MAW nor a 56th. The thread was to salute one of them, why would I do that if I hate them so much? Why do I say hello to them when I run accros one online?

I like the MAWs, I hate their name. Get it? Now, go back runing after P47s before they reach their ack.:p

Frenchy,

I know you're not a bad guy but are you listening to yourself.  Your statemebt above is one of the most disrepectful comments I've ever heard about a squad.  You said we don't respect the Marine Air Wing.  Honestly I am extremely pissed at that statement and won't reply as I feel.  The reason we took that name was out of respect for the Marine Air Wing and what they accomplished during WWII.  Now maybe you think that means flying the same plane as them but it doesn't to me.  It means defending your country against aggressors and staying loyal to your country and your teammates.  I really wish you would let this subject go because you're totally in the wrong.

I'm sorry, I thought this was a public forum. If this was an issue you wanted between the MAW and the 56th you probably should have sent 40dog an email rather than spouting some fairly insulting comments.

ManX, you should read the whole thread and my responses with more attention.


I really think that I have read the whole first thread. I was very surprised you worded it that way. Since some members of the MAW have taken it in the same respect that I have, perhaps it's your writing rather than my reading that is to blame for the mix-up.

Quote

Even in this statement you're using very harsh words to justify yourself. They're not a disgrace, they're playing a game and winging up with friends.

I'm starting to think that this argument is more about someone thinking in one language and then typing in another. I know you're a good player and sport Frenchy, it just kinda took me off guard to see how harsh you could have been singling one squad out of the hundreds that do the same thing and then posting it so casually on the forums.

Hmm.. let's see... well, no way I'm gonna go saddle up a wild spotted jungle feline and ride around, so that's out.

How about some of the other squads... let's see.. FDB.. ummm... no way I'm gonna saddle up a... well, nevermind, you get the point.

I'm sure our imaginations could run wild with this.. :D .  

On a more serious side...
I would say this to Frenchy, and anyone else who flips the "thisorthatortheother dweeb" switch on simply because they disapprove of what someone else flies.  Get a life.  The biggest dweeb is the one who feels compelled to call others dweebs, simply because they don't do things exactly the way HE thinks they should.  If you don't like what someone else flies, then go find a game where everyone does it YOUR way.. otherwise, you're just being a rude, insulting, finger pointing .. dare I say it??? Dweeb.  There is way too much of this crap floating around on the board, for which HTC has thankfully started "moderating" somewhat, and definitely way too much in the MA.  I suggest to anyone who feels compelled to insult the other, do your talking with your guns.  Shoot em outta the sky if you dislike their methods.  Otherwise, keep it to yourself.  It just makes you look childish, no matter how well you think you have presented your "case".
    As far as the MAWs go, I have had the pleasure of flying with them as a squadron member, only leaving to rejoin the smaller squadron that originally brought me to AH when it re-formed.  As with ANY group of individuals as large as they are, there will be a few who stand out in good ways, and a few in not so good, but they are a great group of guys who enjoy what they are doing, and do it well.  The zealous in any community attract attention, some negative some positive... it's a fact of life.  Too bad we can't all realize these "facts" a little more often and just do what we came here to do... fly, drive, kill, blow s@#t up, and generally have a great time.  

The greatest of men often speak the least, and the least of men often speak the greatest.  (Skorp, Jan. '03) ;)

BTW,
I would like to send the MAW's a big for the organizational effort i've seen in some of thier op's. When they do squad ops, additional resources will be needed to repel thier attack, and it does effect the overall planning.

I personally don't care what plane anyone flies. It's a waste of time doing anything other then having a good time flying here with people we enjoy flying with.

I pity those who find the need to critisize others only in order to build thier own self esteem. Of course, on occasion, I will comment on the nikilame7dweebs, but that's usually in fun just to razz em and to get my anger out when shot down by one. But in the end, it's all in good fun  :D

lol seeker and skorp :)

56th and MAW are both great squad.  Flown with many of the 56th and fought alot of MAWs...great guys IMHO.  People can fly what they want til you pay their $15.00, and the MA is not exactly realistic anyway.

If you pick a name, do your best to live up to it's meaning. I can picture myself at home runing around in a German uniform wearing my grand father name tag and medals ... oh man ... the beating I would have received :D

In this sentence, the MAWs are not a disgrace because they suck, they are a disgrace because they are  not trying to impersonate who they claim to be.

Hmmm What does SFRT stand for?? Were you special forces?

Title: YA YOUR RIGHT, MAW NEVER FLIES MARINE PLANES
Post by: viking73 on February 07, 2003, 03:33:01 AM
On this one flight we had at least 16 F4U-1C Corsairs each carrying 2000 lbs of bombs and 4 rockets and 924 rounds of 20mm. That's 32,000 lbs of bombs and 64 rockets and 14,784 20mm rounds. And this was one of our smaller missions.

I can understand why you didn't stick around to see when we fly Marine Corps planes.

The 13th TAS has alot of respect for the MAW's....great squad made up of good guys....they've all handed me my tail many times and have always been respectful.

Well, I like the Niki o.k., but I really only fly it about 5-10% of the time, mostly for base defense missions. Nice cannon load so you can try deflection shots a lot.
But, it's a bit slow, and not really a good Jabo for the primary squad missions: usually base captures. Tiffies, 110's and heavy p-51's.

40DogMAW, the C.O. used to fly Niki's a lot. He seems to like 190's these days.

I like the F4Us a lot, they are the classic Marine bird, and they can turn fight better than you'd  think..

I think I'm like most guys, I like to switch planes a lot but get periodic favorites....currently the SpitIX and Seafire.

to all! A great group of pilots and opponents.
