I nominate myself to serve as in-game behavior moderator.  I will see to it that no tardish behavior goes unpunished.

      Ya know.. I was one of the people complaining about how the game play has deteriorated. But I stepped back and looked at what was really going on. and found I was putting myself into the situations that I disliked. there is room for EVERYBODY to play the game the way they see fit.

      Hoing ...  don't like being ho'd ?  here's a fact for you. it is IMPOSSIBLE to be ho'd unless you willingly put yourself into the position to be ho'd. and if you are in the position to BE ho'd you are also in the position to be the HO'er,
                     and the other pilot has to assume that is your intention.  IT TAKES TWO TO HO.

      Being picked..  this is a fact of reality. you are fighting a war. the MA is not for fair fights. it's for killing the enemy and taking their assets to WIN THE WAR. you want a "fair fight" go to the DA, set some rules and fight away.
                            in real life, pilots fly with wingmen, the goal is for one to cover the other, I engage you, my wingman takes the advantage and comes in and kills you. 1 less enemy, mission accomplished.

      Hording...     Pearl Harbor ring any bells ? or any other PLANNED attack in WWII for that matter ? Catch the enemy off guard with a superior force is what EVERY commander was trying to do.

      Vulching...    Simple,  DONT UP FROM A CAPPED FEILD.

                       

Preach! I think if everyone had these views the game would be much more enjoyable and competitive.

ever who 'pose me is ma' emmaknee, 'ceptin the ho. they be, uh-uh-uh, "suppliers"...

Seriously, BnZs, what is wrong with flying in the DA, as opposed to reforming the MA into a DA?

A very good question.

A very good question.

I see, perhaps... What are DA numbers like, these days?

So it's come to this.

The people complaining about being killed in HO shots, being out numbered, or alt monkeys are just trying to make excuses for their deaths. They can't accept the fact that they made a mistake and that's what got them killed. It's a shame that this kind of mindset has become the norm in the MA.  If we were to ban any kind of shots then the 6 oclock position would make more sense as it's more difficult to avoid shots coming from your 6 than your 12. I can't really speak for out numbered situations other than I love them! If I could fight 5v1's where I was the 1 every day then I would never log off the game. Alt monkey's are easy to deal with as they are mostly all at 25K+. Just watch them auger in as they compress.

I had to double check to make sure this wasn't posted on the Onion....

A 100mph down draft would make bombers almost unkillable.  You would have to approach all bombers at 9999 from dead six.

As has been said, anyone who tries to HO is giving you a gift, Accept it. 

Alt monkeys are easy to deal with.  Come in higher, and every run90 and pee51 within icon range dives to the deck toward their base.     Accept it as a gift, and enjoy your flight...

Good one. You had me laughing.

Seriously, I don't spend enough time in-game to have that number at my command. However, based on your response, I now comprehend.
What's needed: more players in general, more incentive to play the other arenas in particular.

Unfortunately, this game really lives/dies by bandwagon effect.

Certain players (who shall remain nameless, to be classy ) would consider this a feature, not a bug. Gotta give the poor tool-shedding darlings all the help they can get, so they'll have incentive to fly buffs doncha know?

Furball lake sure ain't what it used to be. Once, people who just wanted insta-gratification scrapping could go there. Now if there are no fights to be had in the MA, the DA is probably completely empty also. It's a real problem.

If so many rules and restrictions get implemented into the main arena then I quit playing AH alltogether, guaranteed!

Sure it can get frustrating getting ho'ed, ganged and picked from outer space, but this is a WW2 sim, and I don't believe they had rules about how many fighters could attack an enemy, what alt to fly or not to shoot head on in WW2 either?

It's just a matter of learning how to fly to stay safe in all those situations, not removing the situations. That will get boring really fast I think.
