Turny birdys....

Pretty sure you dont know what the F your talking about with this "Good fight" crowd.

You might want to save your money and not make that bet. I know exactly who the "good fight" crowd is...you're one of them.

  I guess, I dont call myself that though.

Last night I had a fight that started at 15K with a Spit14, Spit16 and a Brewster. I killed the 14 and hurt the 16 where he wanted to rtb. The poor Brewster was following me around just begging for a fight   I know he was new and I could have easily ran away as I was in a 51, but decided to give the guy a fight as he was deserving of something rather then a running pony we all see too often. We played for a while and I got too slow and died. I bested a perk plane and gave the 16 all he wanted, so I didn't mind one bit to give the noob a kill. It was fun for me as I'm sure he felt good about his victory. I far as I was concerned I won that fight and allowed a new guy to land his 2nd kill. Sometimes making it home shouldn't be all that important.

Junky, the solution to your OP is to not get saddled by these slow birds.  Don't allow yourself to be checkmated.  When you run across a 'turny bird', fight him using your German Iron's strengths, slowing the fight down, take it vert, roping him out, and slash at him until you inevitably kill him.  If there is a better way to irritate a hurri/zero pilot and make him reconsider his plane choice, I cannot think of it.

I use exactly that...whens it just a brewster and me...multi-on I have just been pulling 1 or 2 out away from the turner and fighting them.

Ain't no such thing as a shameful kill in the mains.  It's a cage match Junky, anything goes!  Break out the steel chair and whack someone when they ain't looking!

Today on 200 there was a heated discussion about why planes like zeaks, hurris, and brewsters(the one in question) are easy mode.

-Alt Monkey turners, They climb one of the above mentioned birds(most likely not a zeak) above the furball and pick planes engaged in combat.....again almost impossible to get away from if the person has any type of skill.

Easy mode?  Thats funny!!

Let me guess--some guy screaming down into a fight in a 190 blazing away only to climb back to his perch afterwards said that?

These guys are a huge problem in the game and something needs to be done.

All they are doing is taking the easy route, the less combat the better.

In short, these guys are avoiding combat and need to be dealt with.
