No reason to go to matchplay in its current iteration.

Why?  It sets up perfect for even 1v1s...

I'm sure you're having fun just sitting there and beating up on the occasional person who wanders in - probably a newbie that you can flex on.

Actually, no.  I was actively working with another player that requested we use the Match Play Arena because there's actual damage.

But wait!  Let me ask - are you "shading" in MP arena, because this is your "paying" account, which jibes with you leaving butthurt back in Sept. 

I have spent time in the Training Arena since then with a different player.  The player I practiced with and help in the MP Arena hasn't flown the last few months either for reasons outside of AH.

My last visit to MP was back in May.

Yeah, we watched how your visit to the MP went.  Talk about weaksauce  :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :ahand


Just give up, dude.  You're embarrassing yourself like you have been for months.

Redundant 1v1's - which is okay for funsies at times. It really upset your boi I walked out on his weebgo, lofl.  The older arena allowed one to select starting bases for desired alts and allowed some discussion while heading to opponent.  You could also vary the setup where one could give up alt or position as a form of learning - the TA hasn't been good for much beyond learning the very basics with the reduced influx.

Last time banshee7 was in MP was in September?  You had this to say: "Who's to say I haven't been doing that in the Match Play and Training Arenas (because I have)."  Me, I'm saying, "Not in matchplay and not since you 'left.'"

Interesting how weebz like you try and misrepresent situations. Kind of reminiscent of your boi.

"We watched..." <---- that says so much about your weebsauce core personality - can't stand on your own (and you reek of your boi.)

Lofl, I owned your boi so hard in the MA without even trying.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Interesting.  In my experience, most of the "new" guys that trickled in the last few years were either returning players or players that have played other sims.  And it was very, very few of them.

Returning players can be dismayed even worse than noobs do to constantly fighting the same 3-5 planes and getting ganged by them in most sorties. Long flights to a field where your team dies and leaves you ganged as you wait 10 minutes for your team to get back... idk, just too much ganging in the easy modes, all I can say which is why i made a post to hopefully encourage people to challenge themselves

Not so much him or the skit but the context.

I can relate to this. I’ve been back just about a year after a 16 year hiatus. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been involved in the above described scenario. I even quit last September for about 6 weeks because of that and the constant Hoing, picking and running of many of the players. Many of which have been around for decades and fly nothing but the uber planes. During that six week period I was gone I messed around with DCS and IL2 neither of which were to my liking. I think AH has the right mix of realism and game to make it fun. But yeah, it wouldn’t hurt the game if the uber sticks would challenge themselves once in awhile. Hang your arse out there. There is nothing to fear…..

I agree with you 100%.  So, does it make sense why I started flying different planes such as the Dora and the TA to combat that?  You should know as well as anyone that I'm not the player I have been painted to be.  I have spent most of my career fighting low and slow, full flaps in planes that were not meant to be flown that way because it is a challenge.  It's one of the very reasons why flying the BnZ planes and learning how to maintain my E and create advantages WAS such a challenge.  THESE are the main reasons I stopped flying so much (unlike the reasons mentioned earlier in this thread).  I have also flown 10 minutes to a fight, shot everyone down, and they upped to attack a different base on a different front almost as if they weren't looking for opposition.  It just got to where it wasn't worth the time and effort anymore.  I don't ever see the current playerbase changing their ways, man.  That's all I'm saying and HAVE been complaining about for a while now. 

Ya know, it's actually funny because even when I was flying with YKW, he would laugh at me for my plane choices because I still would fly the 38 or something similar like I always have.

It's not the uber-sticks that need to challenge themselves - they've been there, done that, that's why they're "uber"  :noid  :joystick: :airplane: :ahand :neener:

It's the over reliance by mediocre sticks on those frowny-faced tactics of running, ganging, picking, hoing, etc...  :aok
