Done for the tour

WTG Kazaa

I was killed at 67-0 this tour. An then I was rejoicing seeing some lower B-17's... "More free kills!" I was thinking. Unfortunately it was 999000 in those buffs 

But on the other hand, it was a relief. Long kill streaks at start of a tour are making me nervous... After the first death, I can fly more relaxed   

Normally I just fly relaxed and aggressive, getting myself into all sorts of trouble which usually resorts in death.  After doing this for the past year, I've been going for a more calculated approach this one.  Basically trying to stay alive and being effective at the same time.  It's hard to do and actually becomes a lot more immersive when you set a goal of staying alive each sortie.  So far I've noticed I have much better SA when I actually force myself to care to, checking my views constantly, and even breaking off cons I would normally commit suicide to kill.  It adds more of a thinking/strategy element to the game instead of just trying to pewpewpew the red guys until they inevitably gang me.

I really and truly believe that people underestimate how good the really uber players are at this game.  This is why they can only explain feats such as this with accusations of timidity, tardness, or the c-word - they don't understand that it can be done in a straightforward fashion b/c they will never, ever be good enough to achieve the same and can only explain these things from their lowly perspective.  

BTW, I have the ground to say this b/c I know that I have never been and never will be a player of this caliber.      

P.S.  Go ahead, cry about him being in a Tempest.  I don't think you could do it in a Tempest, even if you took time out from suckling on your sour grapes and found the motivation.  

[Shuffler]

You have to realize, Kazaa isn't your average pilot and granted, he had to fly timid for his standard, but was probably still being more aggressive than most of the people who fly this game.  The guy is uber.

I'm sure he was fairly agressive or he would not have hit a tree..... they don't grow to 20k.  

A guy in MW the other night was blowin through bombers and then would run to out of sight. If anyone even looked to be within 3k of him up down or sideways he'd run to ack. Must be boring as all get out.


Sunbat, if that was in regard to what I posted, you should  reread it. I said it was laughable. You might also understand that trying for a kill run will always make you timid. To what degree is the only question.

I've run off a streak of around 200 before... it's hard. There's some luck involved, quite a bit actually. Think about it, You have to avoid the golden bb, a couple hundred HO attempts, unexpected warps, drone warps, collisions, disconnects, equipment failure(computer),  kill shooter, among other things.

Thing with your own score and stats is that no one actually cares other then you.

Do not presume to speak for me sir.  I cared.  This is very difficult to do.  As Grizz said the immersion factor goes up with each added kill and my heartbeat is always high when I have a little one going.

my "little" one is 4 to 6 killz    the best I EVER did was 11 i think

Sweeet Kazza....and to all you others that can do this

Man at this point in time my biggest feat is keeping my kills above deaths  ..... must not up at capped fields....must not up at capped fields 

I have no Idea how you guys do it..I try to stay out and keep others at distance which gives me options but always end up down low and getting dirty....if I survive great but more often than not I will end up with too many to deal with or one of you guys with laser sites hits me....I really do believe gunnery has a lot to do with this though also...if I could just kill quicker....

so when you click the one who got the credit?

I have been watching this and was pulling for you to break Erich Hartmann's record.  Very nice run at it and I know how it feels.  Colliding my 100th kill (in my 100kill jet mission)and being forced to ditch was painful.     It might not be fun having to fly so smart but you have to admit, the immersion factor and flying for a record gets the adrenaline going a little bit. 

Indeed it does...makes you feel like you're in the real world for a bit. If you die, you're really dead.

[Qrsu]

Trees are over-modeled. Nice job! I usually get the same numbers each tour... only reversed.

LOL, I detect sarcasm.

I used the word immersion, not "I'm a RL fiter pilet", huge difference.  If you're trying to survive, you have to use your brain to figure out solutions to complex problems.  With the goal being staying alive AND being as efficient as possible, it becomes quite the puzzle and extremely fun.  If I could be guaranteed 1v1s all day long in the MA, it wouldn't require much thought since I have fought the same 1v1s thousands of times against the best pilots the game has to offer in the DA.  The moves and the timing of the moves are memorized tactics that require some creativity, but not as much as you'd think.  The real fun involves thought process and asking yourself questions: How can I kill Bogie A) while avoiding Bogie B) and staying faster than bogie C) who's at high alt on the fray of icon?  If bogie C) comes screaming in and bogie B) comes to join in, what is the best course of action to negate both enemies advantage and position?  Is it possible to kill Bogie B) in time to avoid Bogie C) guns for a reverse on Bogie C?  If I miss Bogie B) am I screwed?  What's the likelihood I can take out Bogie B) on this first reversal?  Things like this make the game fun for me.  I don't particularly enjoy mindlessly turning on the deck without regard to my surroundings.

Well put Grizz.  These are my sentiments exactly sir.
I too enjoy this type of flying.  It is great to be able to keep track of a, b, c and even d sometimes.  It's when the rest of the alphabet comes screaming in that makes me combine some of those letters into 4 letter sgments screamed at my computer with only me listening.

Your sarcasm detector musta had a malfunction... guess I worded it wrong.  But I meant it for real...like Bubi's (I think) idea of taking days off after he died...

[jdbecks]

I always try to survive and land back on the ground, even if I go on a high alt buff hunting run and run low on fuel I will take the time to land.

Wtg to kazaa, thats quite impressive.

[Redd]

Gj Kazaa , very nice run.
