Author Topic: Attitudes in the CT? (Read 1145 times)

What is wrong with people? So tonight I form a raid - some groups of RAF Bostons escorted by my Spit (since no one else would join the mission) and we go bomb 46. Not suprisingly with full radar and full icons the 109s descend on us immediatly and a couple of the bombers get their bombs off on the field before they are massacred to a one. I shoot down one of the 109s, and then black out avoiding the pass from another and crash. At which point someone says on channel 100 "Jeez, pork and auger raids in the CT".

WOW.

Someone tries to add a little historical flavor and fun, by flying a group of escorted bombers right into the teeth of the defense and people have to start talking smack.

That just drives me nuts. Oh well ... just needed to vent.

That was a great raid, I was there. Sometimes folks speak/type without thinking. Just ignore them.

Welcome to the CT

The harshness started about a year ago. When I first started in AH, everyone was nice. I recall only ONE PERSON that would come in a trash talk. Now everyone does it. What is so sad is that those who do trash talk, use the words of one person most of the time. Those words from the one person I herd for the first time a while back. I can not believe one person can ruein an on-line game.

Hey Hawk, you been in there more than a year... I left about 2 and a half years ago, and we were flying then... Actually I think it's mor like 3+, 'cause it was before 9-11

Anywho, yer right about the trash talkers, Eskimo, and Hawk... Ignore em, as they're morons anyway. hehee Yeah we'd get that in CT, and on some special events. Sad to hear the level increased though.

Well now that my head has cleared a little bit I must say that I overreacted on Channel 100 and blew up which probably only made things worse.

And like Grits was hinting at I'm sure that are some 109 pilots with some big scores thanks to us.

Lessons for the future for anyone trying to mount a bomber raid like this:

- the Boston's need some altitude as the ground fire is fierce and the 109's can knock down a bomber per pass pretty easily. With some more altitude it would probably be easier for any escorts to limit the number of good passes the 109s get.

- the RAF knew what it was doing when they were putting a few hundred Spits up to cover a dozen or so bombers. Lots of escorts are a must to keep the bombers from getting wiped out.

Sable, no worries - I was the one in the wrong and to be honest I didn't see any really harsh reaction on ch 1. Any reaction I saw in the text buffer I earned.

Cheers,

Who, who do tell? he was on earlier today busily racking up attack points in an empty arena. He wouldn't engage unless it was over his own ack. Way too funny.

I flew 1 sortie in an F6F on a town, ran to the ship when I was out of ammo, low on gas, damaged from the ack and you arrived in your F4U-4. This was my first sortie in a month, yes the arena was empty when I launched.

I then flew several sorties that mixed it up since others had arrived in the arena.
The other "Run" was when I took off in a F4U-1 to engage you, climbed all the way to 8 or 10 K, as you outclimbed me. I then RTBed out of boredom.

You always get so frustrated when youy get repeatedly spanked storch, and it shows.

Eskimo. There are certain ettiquites in the CT
Now while I dont care if you are a HO shooter< i saw this last night in our fight. You took 4 HO passes at me. You also fought over yer cv in the puffy acks the whole fight, whatever floats yer boat.
What bugged me was you being axis and upping the arena porked chogs to do your face shooting.
That seemed a bit rude and out of place. But hey you better use superior SA and even by your words
" yup a 800 yrd 1 sec face shot"
because thats the only way you gonna down most of the CT fighters.
