Thus more "combat", well lots of "Red Guys" concentrated and waiting to be killed! Sure, makes it harder to "Win Ze WAR"....but combat is the name of the game,right?

The combat mainly consist of visiting home to pick up more bombs for more GVs.

I was there defending v46 had a blast as well. On other topic, Yeah it suks being ganged but the no one complains when the shoe is on the other foot. Fighting overwhelming force requires diff tactics , you can only do so much fighting 10:1 odds. What makes my blood boil is ppl jumping in on my fight. After 5 min of turnfighting you have this guy on the deck and where you want him only for a uninvited friendly to swoop in and kill him. Two nights ago I took damage because of this and the killshooter. Ohh how I like to be able to shoot friendlies sometimes...

Nice flyin! Whick stick do you use? Very smooth  :joystick:

Thrustmaster T16000 ... I went through many cheap sticks before I came across this one (NZ has a very poor supply of this type of thing....online sure but I'm a... i'm going to get one now person...oh and did I mention... cheap too  hahahaha) this is hands down the best stick ...bang for buck that is.... it is getting a little loose on it and I think the film process calms things down because it sure doesn't feel as smooth when it is happening real time  hahaha

Fugitive, you're complaining about there not being enough fights and players running from you, and yet you're upset that "ganging" and outnumbered fights happen....?

The primary problem I have with your posts on this subject matter Fugitive is that you say one thing and have done completely the other.  I've saved a film for a few years now, I think I'll post it today to demonstrate exactly what I mean.

I hadn't flown in 6 months a few years back, decided to jump in, grabbed a K4, got  a few kills in the first hop, and was on the way home at 200 feet with a smoking engine, no aileron, no elevator.  Dodged a couple low alt Spits about 5 miles from home, had almost made it, and then you came down from over 12k and got me about a couple miles from home.  NBD, threw you a salute, you returned it.  I grabbed an LA7 and launched after you as you had turned for home.

About 10 miles out I starting catching you, and we ran into a friendly (to me) Spit returning to the base I'd just left.  I stayed out of your fight with him, between 5 at 6.0 distance, you both on my 9/3 while you fought for a couple minutes.  You won.  I then turned towards you.  You started bee lining for your home base.  When it became obvious to you I wasn't letting you go and was running you down, at 3.0 you turned.  First turn after merge I killed you.

You went absolutely BERSERK on 200.  Again, I still have the film.  Called me every name in the book, yet I'd behaved exactly how you demand players should in these posts of yours, while you had just done the precise opposite to me, again, without any complaint from me to you.

Hypocrisy.  That's why people dislike these posts, every player in here has "ganged" someone at sometime, or flown in some manner not deemed "worthy" by others - yet you place yourself on this high ground while disparaging others for what you have done, and likely STILL do yourself, you just don't see it.

I was trying to fight today.  EVERY single....note <single> fight I got into ended up in a RUN to HELP fight.  NOT ONE OF THEM BACKED THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And I was 51 V 51 so not an imbalance.

So, you want me to get a D9 or 51 and just pick....sure I can do that.  Not much fun though and if everyone does that pretty soon you have RACESHIGH (thanks to a squaddie for that tag)

There is an issue.  People just do not want to fight and there is an issue, there is no need for them to do so.

I see this at times myself..fly a plane EXACTLY how you are supposed to...BAD(at least you catch more grief that way). Was an HONOR to DA with you last night  :rock True as per some opinions...I am training for something non existent/or rarely will find....But DAM, THAT WAS FUN! Never really fly the Pony like that...was impressive Sir!   :salute

Our DA session was good.  You were this |_| far from beating me every fight.  was a lot of fun.  Next time we get on vox and work a few tweaks out.  One of those fights you totally had me but you did not recognise it and made the wrong move.

Everyone thinks I will get back in the DA and brag I kicked yo ass.....not my style.  DA is fun and a learning zone IMO. ~S~

You use default scaling? I bought a T16000 about 18 months ago and paired it with my Ch Throttle. Given the fact I've been using a CH Fighterstick since 2002, I had a HUGE problem deciding what to map where, and the muscle memory which was so ingrained from years of Fighterstick usage. I did find the T16000 to be very smooth, tho a bit tighter in "throw arc".

You mind tell me what your button/hat assignments are?  :salute

Seventeen years of this game and the game play being complained about is how the majority of customers choose to play the game in the MA. Does not matter the terrain, that's how they utilize the space. For those same seventeen years a minority of players have complained to Hitech that the majority of customers playing the game not by a narrow definition based on furballing and ACM are killing the game, and will put him out of business. The dire predictions of Hitech going out of business parallel the global scam pseudo religion of human derived planet warming that is supposed to end the world some time maybe possibly but, everyone has to get with the hysteria and change everything or else. Just like our own prognosticators of doom based on the persistent religious like faith they have in their crystal balls.

Over the last seventeen years the game is still here while the crystal ball clutchers are gone and Hitech's customers are still playing the game the way they want to. I thought the crystal ball clutchers  received their rapture becasue Hitech created a second totally free game for furballing and ACM called War Online:Pacific. It has no capture the flag component, a 5mile diameter arena, and no place to hide. Seems that was what the DA was supposed to do for the crystall ball clutchers to address their dire warnings or threats of doom years ago.

What happened, didn't heaven work out while everyone else stayed behind in the MA and played the game their way?
