tired of scumbag manuvers

shida, that was very Confucious-sounding...he's Chinese.  Please stick to Japanese in the future...as its your name. 

Quotes from Hagakure next time then Guv'nor 

I just don't understand why people get bent out of shape when someone on the opposing side shoots them.  It's the game.  Like Colombo said, if you're in a vehicle in the arena, you're a target.  If you decide to land at a field where there are enemy you deserve what you get.  If you do that and a buddy of yours happens to be in a Wirble,  the would-be vulcher also deserves what he gets.

I myself don't get bent out of shape and I'm no longer surprised what I see in Aces High even from members of the most long standing and so-called 'prestigious' squadrons. But let's agree to call a spade a spade shall we: hosing a damaged plane who is trying to land, for instance, is simply to do with getting another 'kill' by any means possible rather than earning it through skill & hard work.

Arp!  Arp! Arp!

I hear another baby seal yelping...

Can I ask you a question SF, I looked up your score and plane choices. I don't know how long you've flown for but would you say your ACM is less that tip top?

My ACM topped out before there was ever a game called Aces High.  Since than it's been a long slow slid into mediocrity.

Aha! The missing piece. Thank you for being candid.

Well since we all want the game to be real as possible. Why not shoot a landing plane? I'm quite sure that happened often during the war. Wasn't that the preferred method for downing 262's? Also it aint very wise trying to land when you have EA flying around your base. Gotta use your head man.

^^^ SF that is one of the best quotes I have seen on the BBS.    

With some of the young talent in the game, I feel like that all of the time.  I have been playing Sims since FS1 on a PCJR, get my butt kicked by a 16 year old who has been playing the game for a few weeks.  The getting old crap is over rated...lol.

This statement makes you wonder what those people are missing in their non-AH life. 

I think you misunderstood, I am talking about everyone in the game has an ego, from the n00b to the top. Some handle it better than others, at one stage or another it always gets the best of you.

I am convinced the only real natural gift you can have for Aces High is your ability to learn, maybe muscle co-ordination in your hand, as it is really an aqquired skillset, young people do learn better than us old gits! Its quite shocking and depressing to see how quickly kids pick this up, well for the old dudes that is

Vulching someone landing with kills is only slightly less satisfying than landing kills under a vulch.   

<S> To whomever it was that got you.

I launched a lanc mission under an enemy fur all, downed thier HQ, and landed it two hours under the same furball.

They went after every plane headed out to the gv spawns and ignored me.

Murphy's Law: If it can happen, it will.

At least it was your cartoon airplane, not someone broadsiding your real car.

But it does not have to

i suppose it is just a matter of being a bit zen about it all. . . just make sure that if that person ever comes around talking like they are pro. . . well you can make a montage.

This thread reminds me of a thread I started suggesting a kill should not be registered if an aircraft's wheels were still on the ground. From that one I learned vulching was actually quite a popular pastime.

Wait......, wait ..........ok now he just lifted, nail him   

Not very sportsman like, but I confess I would do it especially during a base take, and you will see me up from a horded base and get shot down but you will never see me make a Post like the OP did.

I like that idea.

It might encourage people actually using the landing gear........to land.

what does it matter to you if someone is using THEIR landing gear or not?

I Gotta go with what Pappy Boyington  did while with the Flying Tigers.I beleive 5 or 6 of his kills were ground kills. Since he was flying as a merc "$500 a kill " he got payed !
