:lol last time i killed you i came from below, so much about the unwilling style you described.

aww that's sweet, it's nice that you have such a good memory of something that must have happened at least 2 or 3 months ago! (I don't know how to look up scores and stats etc otherwise I'd be more specific ;)  )

Regardless it's obvious that the comments (mine and Midway's, and others in the past) strike a little too close to home, as they always seem to bring this same angry, overly-defensive response from you...but as I said this wasn't meant to be about flaming squads, so I'll leave it at that and not add more fuel   :salute Congratulations on your many well earned victories I'm sure

sorry for the thread de-rail  :uhoh

Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

Well, you obviously don't have a good enough grasp of English to have comprehended my previous posts, so I'll be blunt and spell it out:

I was taking the piss out of you for insulting Midway's k/d, the product of someone who doesn't care about dying, only fighting (the most admirable possible attitude, according to most BBS Warriors ® ) when your own precious k/d is protected by picking and running (the least admirable playstyle in the eyes of most)

I love you all in a manly way :old:

I like savoury pies as you all know, do they have savoury pies in Germany?
There are no pies stored in this plane overnight

I have another point of view there Coombz.

For me it's more important and even realistic flying and trying not to die.

Fighting without caring if you die or not is a lot more gamie. It's more like plying Sonic's fite at the PS2 with my son.

Nevertheless, I respect your point of view.

Kovel, as mentioned in my posts above, personally I also subscribe to this same view (that it's better to get home alive, than have a glorious brave fight and die)!!  

I really don't have a problem with LDs way of playing, it's pretty close to my own style, except that sometimes I have to wing up with Yarbles instead of having someone good like Tallboy or schu covering my back ;)

I was just pointing out to DrBone why Midway trolls LD, and to dhyran why I found his insult to Midway unworthy

Nice Lusche! I bet that would actually be pretty accurate until you get into top 10ish.

My fun in AH is keeping myself untouchable, and killing the most, the best. It doesn't has to do with score. Maybe mine could be Dhyran's goal too....who knows.....I wouldnt admit that people that cares about not dying are less admirable that people who loves 1 vs many fites.

I'll tell you something:

I like Midway because he takes off from very outnumbered bases, and he tries to fight there against the odds. I would never do it though, however he does it and it's great.

But, I also love Dhyran styles, he can go to a crowdy enemy base, get 4-5 kills and get home!!!! And I try to do it as well.

But I cant' buy that you are a better pilot if you act like Midway or Dhyran, for exemple.

I guess you could say that DHYRAN is a better pilot THAN ME if we fly with the same attitude and circumstances and he gets a better performance.

they're both better pilots than me ;)   but I think that Midway has a much better attitude (an opinion probably not shared by many  :rofl )

and now it's time for me to go home and actually play AH instead of just talking about it  :airplane:

Nice Lusche! I bet that would actually be pretty accurate until you get into top 10ish.

Oh, it's only off by 1 for Bruv in that tour (5 instead of 4).. actually it's 1 too high for everybody. It really only fails for those in the 2500+ region (mostly 2 weekers).
Of course I could had adjusted that, but then it was only meant as a tool to check the general influence of bigger changes in stats. Like: What if I fly more boldly and my K/D drops from 5 to 3 while my K/H goes from 4 to 8?
