Too many ways to describe a Dweeb pilot.

Look under CorkyJr in the dictionary and you'll find it....er...wait!

If you want an "honorable" fight, go to the DA. Expect everything when you're in the MA.

Looks like the "dweeb" is the guy that just put you in the tower.

However it happened, it certainly wasn't anything you did wrong.

You got ganged, vultched, HO'd, picked, rammed, acked, ran out of gas, lawndarted, anything but killed in an honorable way.

He's just a dweeb!

My opinion, for what its worth (which is exactly 0)

Anyone who has an acct and flys aces high is a dweeb.

You could have a real life, but as long as you fly here regularly you are at least part dweeb or closet dweeb.

Thats a given, like death and taxes, it isn't going to change.

Now, that being said, there are high class dweebs, and there are low class dweebs.

Now some would say that as a trainer, I should only fly the harder planes.
That you should never catch me in a La7 or a nik.

Yet I say to each his own, viva la difference!

Some days going out and dancing into a furball with a nik and coming home to land a few kills just FEELS TOO GOOD, not to do it.

You have a problem with that, ok, thats YOUR problem.

You died to my guns, well shouldn't have let me get them on you then should you. Everyone flys, everyone dies. If you died, you made a mistake, someplace. Even if it was just upping the wrong field at the wrong time.

Lose the egos, we don't need em. Accept that YOU screwed up, don't blame the other guy because you died.

I'd support a Spit XIV like perk on the -7 if it would stop the whining.

Also based on Lusche's usage chart, a similar perk on the Spit XVI, N1k, and P 51D.

Maybe 5 points . Not enough to stop anyone who want's to stop from using it to use it, but perhaps lessen the usage somewhat and stop the

I'd oppose that actually, and I have no interest in flying any of those.

Why? Because then new players will be at more of a disadvantage and people will just whine about Typhoons, Spitfire Mk VIIIs, Bf109K-4s and Hurricane IICs as they replace the newly perked quad.

I think this is an excellent point. As someone relatively new and low in the fighter rankings (i.e.High number) being able to fly easier to master planes means I can get in close and in amongst things getting on peoples sixes and anticipating their moves. They are usually in less agile planes and I can practice and learn while having a good time and surviving for a reasonable time. If I come up against an experienced spitfire its a different story of course but lower 190,s 51's 47's etc

They may think Dweeb Newbie but should they be getting into spit territory in the first place. If they didnt enjoy it would they do it.

Use the 51, D-9 etc to dive in at high speed and shoot at an aircraft that exposes himself to a shot.... equals dweeb.

Likewise, it has also been written that if you are, ahem..brave.. and use your 51, D-9 etc to slug it out in a low fight with a plane made to turn well at low speed, then you are a dweeb for not utilizing your aircraft properly

The only person I can truly please, ultimately, is the one paying my bill, me.

Plane usage should not be used as a criteria to perk a plane. The criteria in place is the only one that should be used. Any plane that is proven to cause an unbalance in the game play should be perked. Just because a plane is popular doesn't unbalance the game play.

Reason? They know they picked a plane that cannot fight. They chose to get in a plane that all it could do is intercept buffs, vulch, HO, or run. They call that flying smart.

Thank you,
Next thread please?

There are a few exceptions. Urchin can and will fight in a 190 and I've seen a few turn fight a P51 with skill. I respect these guys. The ones that erk me are guys who have more then enough skill to fight but instead act like a two week B&Z picker. It would be like you flying around in a 190 picking people. I doubt that you would ever get shot with your skill level. Guess some are just afraid of getting their virtual plane shot down by taking chances fighting and others aren't.

Dweeb pilots are the ones who drop 5k ft to enter a fight against a lone enemey that's already 5:1 in their favor.

Dweeb pilots always turn sharply to avoid a bandit instead of calmly dragging the enemy for a friendly.

Dweeb pilots never give 6 calls.

Dweeb pilots dive bomb carriers in Lancasters and B-26s.

Dweeb pilots bail out of their bombers from 20k ft when they see approaching enemies.

100% Agree...

For those of you that believe that you can fly nose on a unknown pilot and not get HO'ed. What are you thinking? Oh yes, "Chivalry" a WWI concept that went out with WWI. In modern warfare, if you present yourself as a target you will get shot. For those that understand the concept of the dogfighting and how to present their aircraft for a test of skill. "I you".

BTW, I hear from time to time some folks get really upset about what they call PICKTARDS. Read some of the accounts of "The Blonde Knight of Germany". Yep, that's right Eric Hartmann 352 Kills was the world's highest scoring ace of all time as well as the greatest PICKTARD ace that ever flew. He has my respect for skills and wanting to be alive at the end of the day.
