Hmmm....
Just spent 15 minutes flying to a base that used to have action. I am NOT flying all the way back to base...
BAIL
-
Just started a take off run. Looking at the map hmmmm...
If I take off from that other base I might actually encounter red guys!
BAIL
-
If I stay up here high and dry I can swoop down pick and return to safety.
Oop...one of my guys on the deck is in trouble and calling for help. If I go down there and help him I'll be jumped by those other 5 planes at 10k.
So what. Today is a good day to die!
-
What! Coperhead just dove into a base full of ACK and 10+ low cons. Instant assured death!
Looks like fun - I'm In!
-
You ever thought about getting your own blog?
-
I go up in plane of choice and head to the base to help attack, get a mission up posted from fbbob or jayro, see the base was taken by knights(my team) and then if I'm not too far turn around and land as fast as possible, no flaps, gear creaking and land or ditch to get to the real action. If I'm almost to base that was being attacked I'll look for stragglers or go to the next one. Sometimes after 15 min. Of flying to a fight and not seeing any action on the map I'll bail to get to a fight that is happening. This usually happens when I first start when the game is un populated, early morning, late at night.

Start of the month. New tour.
Time to intentionally auger 50 Mossi's while spraying the guns into the air! :D
(I really don't care about score at all ;) )

Sounds like you're trying to game the "5,000,000 rounds fired" achievement. :neener:

I guess that is a side affect of doing that, but my real go is to get the "Less than 1% hit percentage" achievement. :D

This is going to be fun. A whole thread of ways to rationalize your suck. This should be stickied.
-
There is a score??? :huh What is this "score" you all speak of??? :headscratch: I guess it's not important if I don't know what it is... :noid
:D

>> A whole thread of ways to rationalize your suckage.
Correction: Funnage!
We fly to have fun and maybe to be a little silly.
-
I fly weird AC, so I die. I land every now and then with 5 kills in my mossie or 6 in my 190A5 or 5 in my A6M2 ;)

Or you could disguise your suckage by flying a Spit XVI. :D

That's not disguising my suckage, it's enhancing my skill.

My favorite way to blow my score is to continually up in an area thats heavily spawn camped. One time in particular there were over ten tanks surrounding our spawn and I was the only one upping and as soon as i was down I'd up again. I was able to dispatch a few of them. At one point I even upped a jeep and just hauled balls so on my next spawn their sights would be trained away. I convinced myself I was working on "target accusation under fire" but truthfully I just enjoyed it.

I-16 vs CV.......
P40C into MA furballs
-
Up a K4 to a GREAT fight . . . . Forget you have 25% from the DA :bhead Engine dies as you get to the furball
-
Keep re-upping PT's in the face of overwhelming odds.
Up. Torpedoes. Wait. Up. Torpedoes. Wait.
-
BaldEagl you can fly anyway you choose. :salute
This is just a fun thread for those that dont see any point in even attempting put 1% of their efforts trying to fly for score\stats. There is a certain kind of freedom in this. Flying without any reservations or under any preconceived model. Pure fun.
If one must analyze...interestingly this boundless type of flying many times places you in situations that better your skills! :old:
-
Sometimes in a P-40c I feel invincible (flying the best plane in the game) so I'll dive straight away into an enemy horde hoping their next of kin have been notified.
Fear the P-40c!
-
Land a plqne outside Dar ring and drive till ur close to town about 10 miles or so, have a squad high altitude bomb base, dar shiws one high alt bomber ( stage goon on ground outsidd dar) town wf have bomber drop rsdar way out, up fighter and goon, de ack, and goon drops, boom three man base take only one con on dar lol
-
And bombing towns with single mossie and one cookie cutter lol
-
I up.
Hahahaha
-
lol Sometimes Ill up a plane dive through a bunch cons just to get them to chase me low on the deck through hangers under the dar around trees whatever, or I start turning to see if I can make them auger.
-
Back when I had enough perks: Porking fields in a Me 262.
Flying top cover over central strats on large maps for over an hour....
Bombing the city.
-

or Bail out of your plane 300 times for an achievement... :banana:
But I agree, lame is lame.

Letting my little brother fly while I'm at work :eek:
lol I go from a decent K/D to unrecoverable in an evening
Not that I care :cry
-
>> But I agree, lame is lame.
In the context some have used the term "Lame" is a fixed or rigid point of view. That one should not fly in a manner that skews score because "real" pilots would never do that. This presupposes "good" pilots would never fly in a boundless carefree manner.
NOT!
-
The only one defending a horde base attack and using a P-38.

You assume a lot in your interpretation and are grossly incorrect from my vantage point. But nice try.

Up a plane. Have fun. Dont look back.

Another really fun endeavor is bomber hunting...in a Stuka! I did it a few months ago thinking the cannons in the Ju 87G-2 just might be really effective on bombers. They are!!! :rock
It does take some aiming practice but once you get it down it is a blast!
EDIT: You dont have a lot of ammo in a Ju 87G-2 so shoot close and limited bursts (convergence 300). Only takes one hit to remove a wing etc.
Please share your findings after you master it.

Fly at least 75 %, even in DA :neener:
-
Land a mile from an enemy base in a 109g or something with great acceleration, watch the runway in F5 mode, when an A20 takes off looking for an easy gv kill, up and kill him :devil
-
Up from a capped base...get naked :banana:

Many are not aware but an N1k CAN hit 550 mph in a dive if done right. The key is start high (of course) and dive at a very shallow angle, i.e. NOT too steep. You kinda have ease the N1k into the dive.
Ideally you can coordinate it to be in level flight parallel to the ground at 550 mph in the thick of a base taking horde with 4 x 20mm cannons!
Folks this is crazy amazing fun. :rock
The N1k Flying Missile!
-
To produce the N1k missile:
For 500 mph
1. Climb to 15k.
2. Start dive just pass dar ring of base to buzz.
3. Steep dive to 10k then ease to 45 degrees.
4. Engage wep when below 3k.
For 525 mph +
1. Climb to 25k.
2. Start dive just pass dar ring of base to buzz.
3. Steep dive to 10k then ease to 45 degrees.
4. Engage wep when below 3k.
In both instances there will be MAJOR buffeting from 10k +\- to just below 5k.
:salute Rocketeers

I had fun last night and helped win tha warz!
Upped a mosquito and bombed HQ (bish), Achievement! Though lost 2 drones to a 163 and played with a 190 for awhile but he finished me after 3 or 4 failed attempts.
Looked at a few planes I haven't flown in awhile, 2 kills in a Nik, 1 in a zero, couple in a C205. :banana:
Ah the Warz! Flew a goon to V47 with all VHs up, landed by the Map room and bingo. OK one more base. While most thought V45 was the easiest bish put up a substantial defense. That served as a good distraction so rolled to A44 town with the Rocket Tank and proceeded to destroy town with the help of some others meanwhile enjoying the augering of Shane. Sorry buddy.
We flew several goons at one time to the town (troops disabled at v47) and landed a few while some air dropped. Whew where to spend all those 25 perks. :ahand
-
Upping at Capped bases. I thry to break the blockage and take few bad guys with me. I've saved a few bases in this way. Really bad for the stats though.
