I wasn't relying. They were 2. It was a barrage of 5 fighters at me. Relying, are you serious. None of you could go into a 5 vs1. It was selfish, and this is a team based game... Plus their in a sister squad..

I would jump into fight even though I am outnumbered felix and by doing this is how I learn to fight multiple cons, I may not survive but ill take 2 or 3 of em down with me. Unfortunately  there are a lot of other players who do not enter a fight unless they hold all the cards, and would rather jump in with 16 friendly to kill 1 guy as opposed to fighting 1 guy with a 1k alt advantage.

There is no real etiquette in the game i'm afraid.

Expect friendlies to fly straight through you to get you killshot,
count on them to drag a con onto your 6 to save themselves,
always expect them to steal your kill,
a deliberate lack of check 6's to get a merge,
Despite a reasonable "no thanks i'm good" jump in on your good 1v1 anyway,
say thankyou for the requested vehicle supplies only to see troops running past,

probably more, can't think right now

expect air support to miss the target by at least 2 miles
expect the friendly you just saved from 2 cons to run immediately leaving you with the 2 cons.
expect the friendly to release troops with half the town up.
expect a friendly to shoot at a plane you de-winged and then call out on range as though he shot it down himself.
expect a friendly to miss with every round when you drag a plane over their whirble.
expect nothing good and you'll be alright

I can go into a 5 V 1...survive it is another story but I won't back out of it (usually i'm the slowest plane anyway :lol :lol) I choose to use this as a learning experience...and see if I can* get them all to get a piece* of me before my demise.


And as others have said..check sixes are nice but don't expect one. It is good to rant sometimes too but just make sure you get your message across to the ones this rant is because of.

Why won't it let me use the word Assist in a sentence
Edit 2
hmmm it is only that sentence  weird

Fly like your country men are more dangerous to you than the enemy.

Why you ask? Because you know the enemy wants to kill you and you expect that. Your country men mean well but, their indifference to your existence is often suicidal to fly near them.

None of you could go into a 5 vs1.

That depends entirely on what the young ladies in question look like.

Who else is really tired of people, if not allied pilots not covering your 6. We were all in the same altitude. 5 other planes were coming at us three and the other two decided to be obsessed with a p47 kill on the deck. I was left alone and hacked... Not cool. Worst is they said I did it out of stupidity. Covering your butt, while you try scoring a kill on the deck, I don't think so; that's called selflessness, and I'm damn tired of pilots not having that in their minds, accounting that lots of you were in the military. Man I am pissed! :furious


This always happen, at first were together. 500 cons attack us, they dive to go for 1 deck one and leave me alone to be ganged on, so I can distract the enemy while they do those kills. That's some BS!


If you were truly selfless, you would take one for the team by fighting the gang.  A selfless flyer would have let his allies pounce on the easy kill so they could RTB and get their "well deserved" WTGs.  And he certainly wouldn't be making a whine thread about it.  :banana:
