So what is the mentality behind ack running?

[Guppy35]

I will continue to choose when where and how I die in game if I chose to extend to get separation to reset the fight cause I don't want to turn fight a zeke with my 109 then I will. .I won't play to my opponents strengths and my weakness of that aircraft. ..screw that you want that kill on me earn it. .I'm not going to commit suicide for you

You are absolutely within your right to play the way you choose.  All I'm saying is folks need to quit trying to sell it as something more than it is.

No one really dies meaning no one really commits suicide.  You are welcome to use any crutch at your disposal.  In the end all Latrobe was really trying to understand is what someone has to lose by actually fighting.

For me there is no real risk in the game as outside of dying from a heart attack in my computer chair, I'll be perfectly fine whether I win the fight or lose it.  For me the fun is the fight.  But I'm a simple minded sort

now that I can agree with ..never thought of resetting a fight to it can continue as a crutch before but as long as there is fun to be had I'm in

How bout this....
Instead of "advising" someone else how to play or get into their heads just have "your" fun. You have your fun however you see it, I will have "my fun" however I see it and see that guy over there, yea that guy in the Iron Maiden  shirt....let him have "his fun" as he see's it. There now everyone is happy. You guys are like a bunch of religious fanatics trying to convert others to your beliefs.

Dang Pipz, don't bring religion into it!!! Then I'll know your ALL wrong . 

[guncrasher]

if you dont think a persons true character shows thorough in a video game..... especially an online one..... then you are ether blind or foolish....



I state facts.....

 sorry if some of you cant handle the truth.


but dont get your panties too tied up.....it cuts off the circulation

perhaps in your case it does INK.  you ever think that you try to bully others into playing the way you want?  you are a strong guy, so do you call anybody else that backs down from a fist fite with you a coward?  I am just saying that because if I remember correctly a couple of years ago you posted about why your family was staying away or you were staying away, dont remember exactly.

You are a stand up guy and I respect you, not because of your strength but because you have a good heart, most of the time.  you arent perfect and and I sure as hell not gonna pretend that how I lived my life makes me better than you.

but if you keep saying that how I play this game represents how I live my life just makes me smile.  my life is not even close to how I play this game and neither is yours.

people are right that in this game we dont really die, but then again I dont come and play here to die or kill, I come here to have fun with some cool friends I have.

I love to unwind, drink a couple and dont worry about what others think about me.  I come here to have fun, my way, not yours.  so there it is, hope it doesnt bother ya.

how is inks online play bullish. he sound like a stock broker and kills below 10k?  now his bbs reminds me of white man cult. 

[danny76]

I wish manned guns had "killshooter" enabled so they wouldnt blindly fire their 5" CV guns into a furball!

[Mister Fork]

In the AvA, the AAA is usually set to .25 to stop the AA dweeb running.  It's like "oh ok, you're diving onto your base. No problem, I'll follow your runstang in my Dora you AAA hugging dweeb."

AAA safety running therefore is pointless. At least in the AvA.

So what is the mentality behind ack running?

You guys are over thinking this.

The "mentality" is Ahhhhhhh someone is on my 6!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh wadda I know.  I run too enemy ACK.

[icepac]

Ack runners are the guys who go to concerts, stand at the periphery of a mosh pit, and take pot shots at guys who get close and then fade into the crowd when it's time to take a shot himself.

[Zimme83]

Fly a Brewster and u will never run. Well, u can but it wont help u...

[Arlo]

I remember a squaddie who not only ran to ack but ran to enemy ack. Tried to trap on the enemy CV, as well. Maybe that's why all the CV skins have goofy chess pieces painted on em now.

Bullying......

is that what it is called when someone speaks the truth


if someone is so afraid to die in a cartoon game.... I can't even imagine the yellow that runs down their spine.


if my words sting maybe someone should look inside themselves to find out why they sting.....
or they can just call it bullying does not matter to me in any way.

I never told people why I stayed away from Aces High, well my squadies knew....

nothing major really just dealing with issues with my wife that needed my full attention and Aces High was interfering in that.

You must have been an extremely naughty 12 year old 

 

you would think that....

except now a days they can not put a kid in jail for what I did....

what was my crime? 

runaway....that got me put away for almost 7 years of my juvenile life.


never once did someone ask me...why I was running away....

never once did someone ask me why I would rather sleep on the streets at 8 years old...

or why no matter how many times they sent me back to my "home" would I just run away again...


if you or anyone......can imagine even a tiny bit of what would make a kid do that...then maybe you can understand why I am the way I am.

I pull no punches.... I speak the truth to the best of my ability....even if it means I am not shown in the best light....or admitting when I am wrong....I have no problem doing that....





and semp if I was a "bully" I would PM rage people and be forever screwing with people on 200


NO ONE in ten years can say I have ever Rage PMed them....or bullied them on 200!

if someone starts with me... I will most definitely finish it.

RUN AWAY!

[Yeager]

ack running is a tactic where a player on the defensive tries to lure enemy fighters into his lethal ack zone.  Its really no more of an infestation than any other defensive tactic.  AI is in the game, people will use it to their advantage.  Always have....always will.
