Tempest DA Question

[LLv34_Dictonius]

Bothered by a tempests in DA? Why not up a temp, hunt these guys down to the limit of their frustration and have a great laugh... I mean, instead of crying here about it. I know those Temps really are annoying and I have had my share of spoiled dogfights, but there is a simple solution to this - shoot them down!

It's remarkable that an articulated objection, and not even a very strenuous one at that, can be construed as 'crying' these days.

Yeah, that'll fix it. Put more Tempests in the air

I am kind of new so please help me understand.  How do you catch and kill a Tempest 20K over you that is determined to not engage?

Form a DA squadron that's mission statement pertains to hunting down aircraft flying above a certain altitude in tempests and p51ds.  Call it The Air Marshals.

 I do that sometime's, kinda depends on how many are out! If ya'll see me in a Tempest/Typhoon Im only on the hunt for the same breed, and there is no respect givein!  (man,just don't likem, always ruining good fights regardless if win or lose)  and If ya'll see me land kill's in a Tempest-their all Tempest kill's!
  Most of the time I let my 9 year old Corgi named Stumpy do the dirty Tempest work for me!  lol   Misfire out,

-go knit.
-go to bomber field 35.
-fly from there to furball lake.
-fly towards any plane above 10k to tempt them to attack.
- shoot them down with ease.
- patrol the 10k line in buffs scaring all the tempy/dweeb16s back down to respectable alts.


thats what i did, actually worked for awhile. i remember the first time i upped buffs i came in at 12. had 2 temps and 5 spits above me (all were 16s cept for one which was an 8)

pretty much all of them dove on me, but was able to fight them all off to the loss of only 1 buff. after that not many people would come about 10k unless they had the sole purpose of engaging my buffs.

i didnt bomb fields, or anything like that, i upped buffs in protest of the dweeb16's and in a way i won 

just up a formation of b29s and patrol the 10k line. spits are absolutly terrified of it. and even tempys second guess attacking them. youll be the baddest terror above 10k

Not sure if out-dweebing them is the best course of action.

Ostracizing in the BBS and the chat buffer on the other hand...

...really?  You honestly believe their enjoyment of the game is in any way impacted by what the people they shoot down think of them?

I have my doubts, to put it mildly.

Doing something that directly impacts their gameplay is about the only thing they will notice in any way.

simon, not sure you saw me when i flew buffs in the DA.  
the only people who didnt like it was the spit dweebs&tempys. i never drove my buffs straight through a furball to interupt. or bombed anything (except oncE)

i'd just fly the outline of the lake at 12k announcing that there were buffs up and anyone who wanted to test there bomber attacking skills are free to come up and take a shot.

some people liked my buffs up, it was a mutual thing. i got to work on my gunnery. and they got to practise on assaulting formations.

i dont fly them in there anymore tho. i feel that buff gunning has been ruined for mouse users since the patch (even tho HTC claims the old way has been restored)
and the FF have been taking b29s above 20k&bombing DA bases, so i'd rather not be mistaken as part of that crowd.

Thanks, nrshida.  I’m glad you were able to see the humor in a simple lampooning of the tempy use in the DA.  Sort of a verbal version of one of Fugi's good cartoons.

People are certainly entitled to climb onto the lowest rung of the ladder and stay there, if they wish, without having to dare to climb any higher.  But when they start shouting “look at me”, without knowing how foolish they look standing at the bottom of the ladder, then I believe it should be pointed out -- for their sake at first (which in this case is wasted) and then at least as a source of amusement for others who know it for what it is.  So, again, I appreciate it if you found the post amusing.

I thought the OP was a funny one....... had all kinds of little hooks on it. One end was tied to a tree limb and the other had a brick on it.
