but the same ole crap's gettin pretty old.
couple weeks ago, i come across a guy, just about co-alt. we merge, i go vertical, look back, and he's rollin over headin for the deck. i follow, he split-s's, doesn't get position, and egresses.
as he's doing this, he's on open channel, asking if i'm sight seeing, and why running. yet he is the one egressing.
i head for a different part of the map, so as to not get into any more crap with this guy. go where there's a lot of action, by the time i get there, there's only 1 or 2 bad guys, with a bunch o good guys on them. i keep alt, and head south.
come across a lower con, and it almost seems as if he hasn't seen me....i dive to slightly below him, closin hard, last minute, he break turns..i go back up, roll over, and there he is, already 4k out.
another friendly caused him to turn, and i was able to get him.
was the same dude from earlier. what does he say? "nice pick cap" WTF??? he ran, was forced to turn, then accuses the person that originally engaged him of picking?
now tonight......a nearly co-alt merge, 1st pass nothing. 2nd pass is looking to be a ho, i dodge, but take hits......so 3rd pass, i ho him back(which i've admitted to doing). 4th pass another ho, 5th pass, yet another ho..and a white collision message(although according to my film he was at least 5 feet away from me)
by this time, i've lost an aileron, and an engine, and some other stuff, so i try to drag him into the ack(which i've also admitted to doing when necessary). he gets close, but not close enough for ack to hit him...than after 2 or 3 pssses, he comes on open channel saying "go land p38 you obviously don't want to fight anymore". i replied "of course i don't want to fight a hotard".
so what was his excuse? i dove on him 3 times. i'm still pretty baffled how i can dive on him from co-alt. merge.
after the first pass, i did gain an alt advantage, and did my best to maintain it, so the ho passes(we both fired) were him goin up, me goin down.
then he tries to say ack hit his engine, and no damage from me.
before the above fight, i had a corsair run from me for 2 sectors, just so he could land. and he had no kills.
so what's the deal?? why is it that when someone loses a fight, it was never their fault? or why can;t someone admit to being beaten by someone? why do people feel the need to critisize one for doing the same thing they themselves do? (i don't generally complain about gettin ho'd anymore, as i'm gettin better at dodgin em).
why did this dude feel the need to lie about why he ho'd? he could've just said " i did it, o well"? like i do when feel i'm forced to?
the worst part? all three of these guys are vets. 2 of em i hold in fairly high respect, although it's dropping each time i see em on.
i have film of all of this stuff, but i'm choosing to leave it off here for now, as i'd rather leave their names out.....unless i need to put em in.
a whine has been recorded....and now it's time to go to bed.
