wat ever happended to pilots with honor

[Makoyouidiot]

Basically, imho, a game is one of the few places these days where you can afford to have honor. So if you can't even find time to do that in a game...

On the other hand, it is a game, so everyone's entitled to enjoy it how they see fit.

This thread should have been locked before it got started. You all talk about honor, skill, respect....helllllllllloooooo o....it's a game folks. You don't really die, you can get a new a/c or gv anytime you want. Next thing you'll be saying is player A is my hero.....errrrrrr wait we have one of them running around already . With all the crap going on in the world today I think we should not really worry about little things like "he ho'ed me" or "you bombed my tank", come on people grow up a bit

Hah! Well in that case I'll be sure to steal your kills every time I'm flying with you, and mercilessly gang you everytime I'm flying against you.  It'll be very fun for me and apparently you will be indifferent to it so why not?

You gotta pad your fighter score somehow...

It was like 3AM EST and I couldn't sleep. Decided to play for a couple hours and found a squaddie who happened to be
FWI. We were on our way to defend a base when we spotted this B17 formation at 28k approx. We were flying Spit 16s
with rockets. We decided to test rockets on the B17s who were doing their milkrun. We both got shot down. We complimented
you and I saluted you. I got no response and my squaddie tells me you gave him "attitude" after he PMed you.

I see no class act there buddy. You got what you deserved, a Oneway ticket to the tower.

Next time be humble or be dead. After all it is only an Internet GAME.

And by the way I was the TA152 who shot down your first drone. You took my radiator but I landed. That made my
night and I slept like a baby. The other two green guys happened to be there. We gave no advance warning.

<UNSALUTE 1WAY>

I went a deep solo bomber run the other night into the other two countries and bombed some towns and killed 3 guys.

On the way out, the 2 of 3 guys upped twice from more forward bases in fast planes like pony and 262

I killed them  again twice

When I had entered back into friendly country I flew over a fight well below me. Must have been 50 pilots down their

Well these two guys were not satisfied. They upped a fourth time and chased me 6 sectors into friendly country, over flying many fights along the way to just to track me down and kill me

I was in a long descent when they caught up and killed one of the two for a fourth time

With no guns left and shot to crap the remaining pilot of this duo took me down

ZERO CLASS

MA has gone down hill in a big way

Oneway

He marks-not that you won or lost-
But how you played the game

Whenever i try to show respect to a fellow pilot, or "Honor", it usually back fires on me.


-Was in a DF with a 190A-5. shot his wing in half. was a good fight so i disengaged my ACM's, was going to escort him back to his base(Mainly because i wanted to see if he could land with half a wing.)
Pulled up next to him, wiggled my wings to give him the <S> trying to show him that i was disengaging. and what does he do? pulls hard right into me, killing us both.

-Was buff hunting, ran into a Set of Lancs doing the usual sortie 1 on town squares ordeal. took out 2 of his bombers, but my plane got pretty beat up in the process. I pm'ed him informing him that i would not shoot down his last buff, and allow him to land if he jettisoned his remaining payload and left Bish airspace. he responded with a flurry of rage-filled words at me that involved cheater/hacker and a certain racial term. so i said to hell with it and shot him down.


-Was in EW, had upped a p40E, ran into another P40E .as soon as i got within icon range of him he ran straight back to his base. i asked him over all-channel why he was running. He responded that he was out of ammo, but there was another rook upping from his field if i was looking for a fight. I was closing on him fast so he asked me if i wouldnt fire on him since he didnt have guns left to defend himself. i agreed. and flew formation with him. when We got to his base, it turned out to be another P40E that had upped. so i broke off the formation with maddog to engage the p40E. Less than 3 turns i was on the P40E's 6 getting ready to shoot him down, then in comes the other p40 on my 6 guns a blazing. I ended up pulling a hard vertical, causing him to auger, then shot the other p40E down. i asked him what that was all about, and he responded "oh well i had a few rounds left".


I tried to have the "Honor" many have spoken of in the Main Arenas, i really have. But ive had too many instances like the ones stated where having Honor has come back to bite me in the backside.
So now i usually take any shot i can get, and spare no one.

So because you ran into a few aholes you going to be one too. Good deal!

Actually Tyrannis, Fugi might be a few things, but Ahole isn't on that list.


Wurzel (tries to fly, sometimes with honor even)

[ink]

it comes down to the fact if someone has Honor in life they will carry that over to this game.

if they don't they wont.

most people today do not have any Honor, or understand the concept of Honor.
Honor is a dying way of life, this world does not encourage, Honor just the opposite, so I am not surprised that 90% of the MA are clueless to it.

those that are saying "gee guys its just a silly game........"

just prove my point, they have no concept of Honor, for Honor is in ALL aspects of life, and should most certainly show up in a game of competition.

[Puma44]

Well said, Ink.   

[The Fugitive]

Agreed, well said Ink

Thanks wurzel....... I think

[Bruv119]
