Pointless Gameplay.

By someone's opinion it was an aggressive move, LMAO all HO shots are aggressive it doesn't make them any less lame in a game where lives arent lost and planes cost little or nothing!  I made the same shot on Levi back when I was a 1 yr newb, at first after I read it was Leviathn, I was excited about killing him( at that time he was king) and telling my squaddies about me getting him, but the excitement quickly faded into disdain for the cheapshot I had just giving him.  I hadn't beaten him at all, just sucker punched him first!  These posts are my opinion about that type of shot and with no "real life" disrespect to the fellow that is AKelfy.  I have taken too many HO shots from Elfy ingame to have any respect about his tactics!  Now if elfy would like some traing in the CHog I will be more than willing to help him break his crutch to HO!

<:furious > @ the Discovery channel.

It used to be that seeing a P40 meant a fight.  Last night, I had two trying to HO my Ki84  

Those were not cannon birds on the TV you , lol

Well I have to say I tend to side with the guys in this thread that want to have a decent fight.  

Most times I will pass on the merge shot because I am looking for the fight and especially in this situation where there are only two planes around for miles.

Why end the fight on a lame merge shot when you could have had some fun?  It makes me laugh that this is lost on some vets.  It's not like your girl friend is going to think your any less of a dweeb cause you took the shot LOLAY.

I can also see what most of you "just play for the kill shot" guys are saying, blah blah blah no fight honor.  But you reach a point in your skill level that allows you to move on past the need to take the easy shot and rather push for a decent fun fight.  

Hell, in this situation only 1v1 for miles, I have broke from a guys six after pasting him with 303s, just so we could remerge and try it again, for the FUN.  But then I guess you have to be confident in your abilities to begin with, to move past the, "I have to take the easy kill shot" mentality.

Granted in a furball or single plane Vs 4 anything goes.

I agree with exactly what you said and wish I could have stated this more clearly in my posts.  After taking that shot a thousand times after the first 1 1/2 to 2 years of playing, it just isn't fun or enjoying much less does it give me any sense of accomplishment or feeling of victory!  Well said, sir.

Just a quick lil story about a fight or two.  I had met this hog-1A and me lower and in a Chog and was trying to bait him down and get him to fight!  He wouldn't do it.  Every time I would give him my 6 and let him get to within 600 yrds I would rudder and roll out and he would go zooming back up before i could get guns on him.  If I followed towards himhe would fly off until out of icon range.  Suddenly I see a dora hanging around and notice he is wanting a little.  He was boomiong in and I side stepped him and he went straight vert and this happened a few times when I noticed the old 1A had come back looking for an easy gangbang.  He immediately got real aggressive as did the dora I guess becuase there were two now, but in their haste they weren't noticing that I wasn't losing my E when they passed.  I hhad decided to get the dora first but that meant hanging myself up there for the 1A.  I tried following him up once Ithought I could get a shot and sure enuff her comes 1A boooming by so I ruddered really hard went invert nose down cut throttle rolled back over pulled hard on stik to bring nose up and then dodged the dora on his way down.  suddenly, and I don't think they both knew it, but i was "behind" them in the cycle of angles we were playing.  So this time when dora went for shot and I dodged him, I had enough E to follow him up and get him right at the top of his hammer.  I quickly nosed over and picked up some speed aas 1A was coming in dodged him and rolled on his 6 and splashed him.  
The next sortie I was trying to climb out and was jumped by dora again this time he had a buckload of E and I drained as much as I could before I tried to go up with him but I was in a 1-hog and cannonless. So he bnz'd me about 5 min maybe until finally in a vert passing he took a frontal shot and killed eng.  He had gambled on the shot and was actually running for the deck when he noticed I was without power.  I got to the water and set her down and came to a stop and was going to the guy when..Bam! towered!  I made comment on 200 that I don't shoot planes in water affter a good fight andhis reply was, "A kill is a kill!"  I don';t say that out of some honor for the guy on the water  or some "honor" of the fight, more that I get absolutely no satisfaction from the kill by shooting him on the water if I couldnt kill him in the fight!  It's just my opinion and thats the way I feel about it!:aok

[wrongwayric]

 You got that close, and didn't expect him to shoot? How long did you expect him to not shoot in self defense? Your lucky, a newbie that close would have rammed ya. I donn't know if you worked out the no shoot at 50 with him prior to your engagement, maybe he forgot you said not to shoot at 50? I would have been shooting at 200 hoping for a lucky crippling shot, then i could have dinner and come back and 6 shoot ya!
Well, next time you go against him you'll know to shoot at 51 right?

[Kermit de frog]

Some people play for the "fight" and others just play for the "kill".  Unless I get behind my oppenent, (3-9 line), then I will not fire.  I do not expected any else to play by the same guidelines as me.  I just wish to not play with those who just want to "kill".  Running, stick stirring, ho'n, picking, ack hugging, are common tactics used by those who just want to "kill".  These tactics ruin the gameplay for others.

[B@tfinkV]

exactly kermit, well said.


and lets be honest, those of us who want a good fight are spoiling the fun of the afore mentioned types, as we continue to develope more ingenious and spectacular ways to kill the runners, ho'er, lamers etc before they get a chance to know they are in trouble:D
