I do take it as a serious game.....I very much enjoy fighting and dying to the hoard.....I have learned that no matter what though there are people who really care about there cartoon life....to me that's just lame game play.


I used to fly straight to the biggest red dar attack as many as I can...now I am a bit smarter or at least try to be...so I grab some ALT and then fly to the biggest red dar, make them earn that kill, but then they still dont "earn" it.

when I jump 5 cons and they ALL hit the deck and run to the ACK I wonder whats the point :headscratch:

Does the alt really help?  I find I end up on the bottom of the pile anyway :)

Well the goal is to nab a few on your way down.

imo, i pay my 15 for "The Moment" when your bomber x-hairs cross your target or dropping on a panzer or watching you bullet stream rip your opponent to shreds, we live for the moment that supplies us with that adrenlin flow and when something interrupts that or takes it away we have instant withdrawal from not getting our "fix" and some have a reaction, from ah oh well to a screaming banshee spouting out colorful metaphors (cussin) forgetting that there are some young sticks that should'nt hear that..

If i saw a guy like you with an axe diving on me i'd hit the deck too.  :noid

it does help for sure, but a lot of times they are still higher  :rofl

but with ALT you hold the cards...I have suppressed like 15 cons by myself,  I always...well most often, end up being ganged anyways but at least this way I can make them work for it, and still get a great fight . :joystick:

Alt really helps you can control a furball by being above it. It is fun suppressing 9 or 10 planes killing 4 or 5 and making it out.

I find lately that I get more giggles from watching the BnZ guys auger trying to get me right on the tree tops.  My best run without firing a shot last week was three.  Two Mustangs and a Spit XVI :)

I was that bad once. I still hit a tree once in a while stalling the Hog. Becoming one with greatness one plane at a time I guess  :rolleyes:

It was one of those up into a horde bits over our base.  Cactus and I were laughing at the futility of it all while competing to see who could auger the most in.  You know the guys up high in the cloud of red are just wetting themselves to see a target actually come up so there is a mad race to see who gets to the target first.  Some just forget to watch their alt and their speed while trying to beat their buddies to the kill :)

You have a skewed view of people who are not down turning and burning all day.

Nah, there are lots of guys who BnZ really well.  And then there are those that boom from 6K out, miss and zoom into the next area code before coming back.    The guys that can do it, knowing how to anticipate the move of the guy they are diving on and know how to use their throttle etc are an entirely different breed.  It's fun trying to 'defeat' their moves while being their target.

If that's your deal, more power to ya.  It's not the way I choose to play, but that's just me.  I can't help but end up trying to bend my plane on the deck.

What I am about to say may or mat not apply to ppl.

Ever since Air Warriors, I have always flown "FOR" the "TEAM" i was on. No offense to ppl but I would just like to say that "GENERALLY" this is a very fun game to play. unfortunately, there are those (the majority ( over 50%)) that have gotten a little above themselves and have become either to "CLICKISH", or to worried about there fantasy life.

Everytime I roll, I do so with the full intentions of landing. no matter what happens during my flight, it does not matter........"CAN I LAND IT". BUT !!!
number one rule  1: FLY FOR THE TEAM !!!. If someone needs my help I (80% of the time) will give a helping hand unless I HAVE to rtb because of damage, and even then I might still help..... once shot down 2 spit 16's missing left stab and vator and aileron, clearing them from the 6 of a team m8.

Now unfortunately!!, there are those that just will not lend a hand, they might have 3 kills, ur engaged with 2 low, and a co alt con is coming, but instead of making 1 simple dive to try to break up the 2 low then climb to meet the high one, they either stay high for the high one, "OR", high tail it away and leave u sitting with 3 just to protect their  "WHATEVER" !!

Some things will never change but somethings can change if the ppl that play the game WANT to change it. there is one thing that "WE ALL" can do and that is fly for the team first, squad second, urself third. As soon as everyone realizes that we all should help each other instead of belittling them with immature remarks (i.e. "time to squelch so and so because someone makes a statement u dont like) but yet have no involvement with the circumstances, or sticking their noses into a conversation that they have no part in logistically. I guarantee you that everyone will have 2 things happen.

1: much more enjoyable game experience.
2: everyone will be landing more often with more kills or more damage (depending on what u fly for).
