Title: ok, finished the stupid challenge thingie..
Post by: lazs2 on June 13, 2003, 10:12:57 AM
Decided to land a kill in every single engine fighter in the game (even a couple of the perked ones)  and do it without ever going above 6k agl... don't think I ever went above 4k tho.  I also wanted to maintain a 7 K/H and I don't like my K/D to drop below 2

Took allmost 13 hours of play and even tho I was into the better planes halfway through... Got stuck on the damn pizza map.   REALLY hard to find a low alt opportunity in there.

Don't know if I learned anything new but it was different..doubt I will do it again.

congrats :)

So been reading about this, some doing it this way, some that way....sounds like an interesting way to spend game time.  Thinking of trying something like it myself.....but I'd need about 3 tours to get through it :D

could someone put down some basic guidelines?  2 kills landed?  a max alt agl?  are these common parameters?  fighters only, or were bombers involved?

thanks

kill stealing is normal for me slap.

I don't know if there are any rules.. I made up my own to prove something to myself... I felt that all of the planes could get kills even staying on the deck.. so.. I made the rules at least one landed (ditch works) kill and never over 6k agl.   I felt some planes were ridiculously easy and some fairly difficult.  

on the kill steal thing... I noticed that it wasn't hard to get on a plane with the 202, spit one hurri one etc. but u couldn't put enough ammo into em before a countryman in a cannon plane whooshed in front of you blowing him out of the sky and clearing your 12 for you.  I think my sists were about equal to my kills.

the planes that were easiest to get kills in were also the easiest to kill... pee 51.. dee 9 spit 9 and the everpresent La7 and nik... the F6 was surprisingly used a lot and easy to both kill and get kills in.

what any of this proves.... I have no idea.

Didn't think the t was a real fighter.

Is it really true that if you don't fly a missun you are kicked out of the maw?   how the hell does slap stay in with his attitude?   he seems more BK like than maw like.

A squadie of mine did a similar thing and flew every aircraft from A to Z and would only move on to the next in the list after landing 5-kills in the text buffer.  It took him a few days before he completed all aircraft I believe.  His comments about each type of aircraft was pretty interesting.  I could never do that, I have no interest in some of the aircraft in here.  I've still yet to hop into the pilot's seat of the LA7.  It doesn't really sound like you make much differentiation between the aircraft in AH.

Squad nights only !!! We only have 2 squad night a week. Small price to pay when all the other days I can do as I choose. The MAW are an awesome bunch of guys and surprisingly, there is a lot of the BK attitude in the MAW ... beside "building battling" we do love to mix it up too ... nothing better than a good fight and we have a few that rank amongst the best.

BK aren't knights right now ... correct ?

If not, and u see me up, let me know where ur at ... would love to mix it up with ya.

When u come back to knights ... let me know ... would love to mix it up with ya.

We're still knights Slap. We did a one nighter last week with the bish so's we could fly with our good friends, the 13th TAS.

I once set out to get a kill in every unit in the game in one tour.  I did it, though the Ar234 was a PAIN to do it with (This was prior to the 20mm tail gun).

Bored fighting in a whirlpool Laz, and need to make self-challenge tarded stuff? I get it.

Congrats, you are as relevant as the guys that bomb your HQ. Although they are less adamant about publicizing it like we should care. They just do it. You make a big gay production contest.

Ok, I looked at you, better now? Now go fight below 500 feet, it’s so cool.

Lazs - here's your next challenge. FILM one of your multi-kill sorties, and post it here. Films are worth more than words and stats.
Title: ok, finished the stupid challenge thingie..
Post by: lazs2 on June 16, 2003, 07:37:43 PM
Wow... even I am a little surprised.   I think some people are reading more into this than is there.

I forget who... somebody told me that I should try to get one kill in every plane and called it the "challenge" or some such.   I figured ok... give it a whirl..  I figured it would be a good way to get all the views adjusted in all the planes.

As for bored with furballing.... naa.. couldn't wait to end the damn thing so I could get back to having fun furballing.

to be honest... I didn't learn much.  I have killed all these planes so I knew what they could and couldn't do allready.   I didn't see any of em that I felt I wanted to spend a great deal of time in getting their last little secret out.   None are "mysterious"  None are "difficult" they all are pretty much what they seem to be.

And I did land a C47 kill today so Im on my way to beating LAz10's record.

Post by: lazs2 on June 17, 2003, 08:18:02 AM
if you got a kill in a c47 you beat my "record'.   geeze creamo... did I step on your tail or sumthin?  It was an accident.

It's not my fault you don't play anymore..  try furballing it's a lot more fun than taking a dee 9 up (way up) every couple of months.

heya funked... this is definitely not the thing to do if you are into score.

It was boring..  I probly won't ever do it again.. it showed  me that some planes are next to useless in the current arena and that some are really boring.   still... not many surprises.  

I think also that fighting a plane is very close to flying it.  you learn the same things.

beetle... there are films on the BK's website I think... maybe not.

I once walked clean across the Pizza map after bailing....was cool. Met many nice folks along the way, most memorably Creamo. He was sitting on a rock, tape player in hand, small earplug in ear and reciting the lyrics to the Spongebob Squarepants theme song.

It's a crazy world out there.

You got something against people who fly the FM2?

no sax... I believe his beef is with people who have orgasms... or, to a lesser extent.... fun in flight sims.   Having fun is so.... uncivilized.

Sax, you fly the FM2 a lot?  The previous tour and the one before that I was utilzing the F4F-4.  Have you tried that one?  What are the differences between the two in the MA?  I may have to try the FM2.
Title: ok, finished the stupid challenge thingie..
Post by: Hooligan on June 19, 2003, 09:17:27 AM
The FM2 has much better performance and a bigger ammo load (although only 4 rather than 6 guns).  You will be amazed at what a hot ride it is compared to the F4F, particularly if you every try to climb a bit.

What he said.

I honestly couldn't tell you anything about ACM in any aircraft Puke.

In the Squad duel it was one of the planes we had to fly and I was instantly hooked.

lazs most likely knows more about the FM2 than anyone I can think of.

Sure that's the meaning of the T I agree but if you look how it was used by the Normandie Nieman it's a fighter ... except if you thing the FW 190 is a tank even if it's a Kurt Tank design ;)

Post by: Sandman on June 20, 2003, 12:00:20 PM
I dunno, Laz... I did the same thing about six months ago. I enjoyed it. I gained an entirely new appreciation for fast aircraft.

I didn't restrict my altitude so the Pizza map went okay.... I also haven't grown to expect a 2:1 K/D... I'm usually right around 1.8:1
