More and more lately I'm hearing people whining about people running, extending too long, etc.. and being 'cowards' and various obscenities for using the stengths in the plane they're in.
Example: 109-G10 VS. Spit9. The G10(Or G10 pilot, whichever you prefer) dives in, and the Spit turns. (Being general here.) The G10 continues on and the Spit pilot whines on Ch1 about the G10 running.. :rolleyes: (While the G10 comes back and rips Spit's tail off)
To the point. Noone who knows how to use the G10 is going to turnfight a Spit of any sort, because hands down, the Spit will win.
So, the G10 pilot gets whined at for use the plane properly.
What I'm sick of is all the flaming for flying smart and keeping your plane intanct, and getting whined at for not giving someone an easy kill. If people would take the time to think of this it would save a lot of frustration..
Just something I needed to vent, adn thanks for reading thus far before replying with some 'clever' insult. :D

It's happened in every online sim I've played, yes it is annoying to see a con extend away but then you have to admire the pilot for having the patience to not get sucked into a situation his plane is not suited to.
-
no insult I agree with you for the most part.
I squelch channel 1 as soon as I enter the arena. As far as I'm concerned channel 1 is a portion of the game that could get dropped out completely.

Are you kidding? The entertainment provided by Channel 1 is worth half what you pay for Aces High.

Lol. I only squelch when it becomes Psuedo-CNN

Rutilan you are offering testimony that psyops works in the MA . I routinely squeak at getaway planes to get them to do something stupid .

Glad I'm so paranoid and cynical, or I may fall for it. :P

Ditto.

When someone start whinning about how you are flying your plane......you must be doing it right, because you have annoyed and agrivated the person trying to shoot you down:D
It also typically comes from one of two types...the newbie, who doesnt understand anything but point at the other guy and fire....and the self centered dweebaholic, who thinks anything you do is cheating, wrong, a hack, and/or an uber move if it gives you any sort of advantage.

BTW Animal I like your "less clutter" link, cracked me up..
How'd you do that ??

I disagree, if there was no channel 1, then there would be no point shooting at chutes!

Noone? I turn with crappy SpitIX pilots in 109's all the time, and usually win. Turning with a good pilot in the spit will get me killed... but most people aren't good.

True, but the G10 turns well at a very limited range of speed, around 300MPH, I think. I won't turn with someone unless they're nearly out of E. I'm normally flying cover for buffs , in which case the even moderately experience pilot loses his SA and focuses on the big juicy target(s), while expending E zooming around dodging the guns..

poop, pick someone's post, click on their profile.
at the bottom of their profile are two choices in the black bar at the bottom.
right click on the 'add to your ignore list' one and choose properties.
create a link with that url in it..

I predict this to be a very, very long illness.

Why concern yourself with what idiots say on channel 1?
If some guy starts whining about being bounced by any aircraft being piloted to its strengths, he needs to get off the deck, develop some SA and learn how to counter slashing attacks.
It's very common for noobs to whine because they have no clue how to deal with fast fighters... In others words, have enough alt and/or E to avoid being an easy target. Turn into your attacker, work at breaking down their energy and cause them to fight your fight. The problem for noobs is that they have no clue how to do that. In fact, a fair amount of experienced players have no clue about this either, which is why so many whine about the La-7.
Don't worry about what people say, don't worry about La-7s, Spitfires and the like. Spend your time thinking about how to kill them.
General Grant said it well when he told subordinates not waste time thinking about what the enemy is going to try to do to you, but be thinking about what you are going to do to them.

Hehe, "hold still ya bastid"
OR
"It takes two to make a HO"
OR
"Stick stirrer! Stick stirrer"
sigh, yeah, one tends to hear them all and variations of them in each sim; only the accusers remain the same :D

LOL fly a hurrican on deck with alot of high figters is fun. When they come down pull up and HO them.. you will win with 4 hispanoes sometimes its a draw and they whine but u still win becuse they controled the fight with all there alt and speed :-)
-
hmm G10 you say.....
have you ever fought Apar in his G10.....
that boy makes it dance and shine....one hell of a dangerous encounter in my book.....
Urchin is damn good too....so is Mandoble...I could go on with names of guys that will turn fight you in anything....
but when a pony makes 1 pass and extends to the other sector.....now that kinda sucks...wouldn't you say.
now if you encounter Wldthing, Gball or Manx in a pony...trust me....they won't extend to the other sector.....get ready for a knife fight.....
some people are justified in whining sometimes.....

Anybody have change for a dollar, because here is my 2 cents.
For the people who sweety and moan about why people extend in fights when they are in a Boom and Zoomer al I can really say is shut your pie hole and fly.
If people would spend more of their time flying and learnig how to avoid situations that got them killed instead of spending it on channel 1 whining maybe they would become a better pilot. I know I am not even close to being a decent pilot but if I get snuffed because of a mistake I made. I think about it. Get back in a plane. Take off and try again. I have no pitty for someone who is going to whine about a fight they lost. :D
Now if you excuse me I have a bong to hit and plane to fly:D
See you guys up!
to everyone!!

Yeah right a hurri thats low and slow is cannon fodder to a 38.
When they arc up at you, go up yourself, then when they *have*
to go nose down, roll back in, its over most times. only a fool goes h2h
with a hurri. So your just killing fools
