You have to fly how far in the AvA?

[storch]

I don't worry or care about score.  I never have and I never will.  as I said I announced my intention to fly in alone to A73 at 8k in a 190.

shifty I wish those types of fights were once again available but when I have been on they are not there.  maybe it's because they know that 4 JG54 players = death and they don't want to die.

My only chance to fly this week was Tuesday evening. Jester and I launched from A73 and headed immediately to the blinking  Allied strats. Within 5 minutes we found ourselves engaged with 4 low FW-190s. Jester got one I got a PW, and had to relaunch. The pilots we engaged were JG-11, and Straffo. All were fighting hard, no ack running no running period. On the second flight I found a mixed bag of 190s, and 109s. I was able to down two 190s 1 from JG-11 and the other was Vanscrew, then I was shot down by a JG-11 pilot flying a 109. Great time, enjoyable fights. I've never seen a JG-11 guy run from a fight. They're just as skilled and just as aggresive, if not more so than any other Luftwaffe squad I've seen in here from any crop of any time. Thanks for the good fights everytime I encouter you guys in JG-11.

Always a good time latley.

Always a better time when the 49th is about

I don't see why AvA cannot accomodate most aspects of aerial combat.  There is nothing wrong with wanting a quick fight.  Telling people to head elsewhere is foolish, it's that kind of attitude that contributed to the low numbers of CT.  In addition, this is everyones arena. You have no right to tell others to fly somewhere else because they wish to alter an aspect of AvA

I did not tell him where to fly, Sir, just where to find a quick fight.  If it read differently, I appologize.

Edit: typo and last sentence added as an afterthought.

Agreed, and it's nice to see that stories will be challanged, and light shown on them, from members of both sides here. 

Now the other night I saw Batfink, emo, Dicho, Venom, all having thier own little DA matchups, on the edge of the battlefield, organized respectfully on ch 200, while 45 other players played the game the way they were playing it.  It was good to see.

Plenty of room for everyone, with a postitive attitude.

Check the misinformation at the door though.  The guys in here respect eachother because of the fights, not the lack of them.

Airspawns should be for buffs only, a certain group would only up from A28 last night and twice I flew there from A3 as a lone wolf. I even jumped into 4 on 1 odds as I felt confident as to the outcome. Disable airstarts for the fighters, the incentive should be for buffs only.

Well said.


Let's all have some fun!

So allied bombers can come out of the northern air starts, just 1 sector away from 2 of our strats and we have to up from the ground? considering those bombers can get to 30k within those 2 sectors, that seems pretty fair...

[storch]

the airstart issue needs to be taken up with the staff.  there are three rhine maps available.  this one with the airstarts was an SEA map for one specific event.  I have no idea how on the one hand the staff stresses that the AvA needs to be realistic and on the other hand utilizes this map when they have a choice not to.  I would agree that the airstart could be for bombers only but I also see rider's point of the airstart dumping 20k bombers right on the doorstep of axis bases.

in any event the bomber players you guys have in there now have demonstrated that they have no problem starting from back bases and taking over an hour to bomb the shacks.  I believe the only players I have seen utilizing the airstarts are fighters from both sides and the only thing it has served to accomplish is to give these players a good running start at one pass and then to safety of the ack.

Well said, I  enjoy the fights more than ever. They are every bit as intense as they've ever been. The big difference is.. It's refreshing to have a foe that fights like hell in the arena, but you can discuss the fight or any other aspect of the game or WWII aerial combat with in an adult manner once the fight is over. There's a lot of interesting information and material that can be shared after the fight, that you don't get with the old AVA Ghetto attitude.

I like the change, just because the guy flies a plane with different markings doesn't mean you have to treat him like a jerk after fighting him. We're all basically crazy about the same hobby. We don't have to be real enemies, just because we're pixel enemies. Just because you're good at this Sim doesn't make you a man. Bragging about how good you are at it while belittling others doesn't make you a man either. Your behavior and your character is what makes you a man, or less one of one. That's a truth that's been ignored far too long in this arena.

stories?  I'll tell you what stampf put on your game faces because we will be hunting you guys down and we will be filming.  we will also post these films, then we'll se about the stories.  as soon as we are finished with you we will switch and do the same with the 49th and post those as well.  we'll see you players up but you won't like it.

LOL did you finally get it Storch? This whole thread was to give you a reason to come back in without losing face. You do this all the time, you exile yourself from the AVA and say you're not going to fly there because we all suck and you're so wonderful. People used to ask you to come back, but that petered out so the last few times you tell everybody you're leaving... Than you stir the pot on the BBS until you cook up some reason to come back to avenge some perceived outrage. That's all this has been about all day, you needed somebody to say something so you would have a reason to come back after saying you wouldn't. You need new material, this is stuff a child does. You've had this idea for too long the arena belongs to you alone, and you can't stand the thought of other ideas getting tried. Nope gotta have it your way all the time just like a spoiled kid.

What's really bothering you is everybody is enjoying themselves and nobody gives a rat's a** if you're around or not. As far as your threats... Bring it on, your not the scary guy you think you are. You're just an annoyance that can be squelched. You never figured it out, you don't scare anybody, but you sure as hell do annoy them. See ya up there tough guy.

Not really, little green riding hood wasn't getting enough attention. So now she's going to have one of her temper tantrums and we're all supposed to be AFRAID.
