Gpreddy, I bombed you with the cookie bomb from Lancs when you and about 50 other gv's were trying to capture a base(along with the flying hoarde) I then landed three kills in the lancs. What is alt-4?

BTW, People will use any tactic they can to win, even more so when 4-1 odds.What, you want them to let you roll along?

Rod367, yes, Bish work well together, but it gets worse when newbies join the hoarde to say "we won the reset". Hopping on the bandwagon won't cure the problem. Yes, Knights and Rooks fight while Bish roll, but people spend their hard earned $$ on this game and you cant start giving orders over the country channel telling them who to fight. That is rude and doesn't help. All you can do is go in and try to have fun. Winning is nice, but not everything, it's just a flight sim.

Sixpence I wasnt talking about you and the incident you referred to was out of context anyway. I killed both your lancs with my flak and then your eggs hit me. Its weird because usually an aircraft does not get a kill after it dies but yours did. Today I saw one even better though. I killed a 190 in an ho but he got me too. I hit the ground and exploded and then he landed the sortie. He was over my field had no wing and no tail. How did he do that?

You can get twice as many suicide runs in if ya don't have to fly home!

If it's a suicide run, Swager, you're not flying home anyway...

Ok review of the new AH rules for all newbies. Failure to comply with the following rules will result in Chnl 1 and bbs whining.

no alt-F4
no suicide runs
no flying spits
no flying niks
no flying la7s
no base hopping in 163's
absoultly no HOing
no chute shooting
no ack hugging
no vulching
no usage of the word luftwhiner, luftwaffle or luftwobble
no massive goon drops
no engageing the enemy unless you have equal or lesser numbers
no spawn point camping
no sitting in the tower
no hiding the CV

Add to the list if I have forgotten anyting

Hey if they want to ruin their reps with alt-f4 let them. At the time I was expecting the guy to come back from the twilight zone behind me but when he didnt I laughed so hard a nearly cracked a rib. I do think that it really sets a new level of dweebery though and it is probably being done by someone that will never hit what they shoot at anyway. Yes their better off in the twilight zone.

Ya know, I do not choose to use this tactic, nor am I flying in the virtual skys much anymore either... but it seems to me, that most of the people could really give a rats diddly what others think of them...

Just a thought though

It's not Alt+F4

With the new version, sometimes deaths and explosions just don't show up. This is especially very frequent with GVs. Nope, not a "ditch = proxy kill". Go and fight in enemy territory, where the enemy can just ditch to avoid giving a kill. I've gotten many kills in that situation where I didn't see a explosion.

Another instance is the 5 inch guns. Boom Boom, the guns fire, you see the enemy you aimed for just suddenly disappear, without an explosion, but you get the kill.

too bad we all can't have as good a reputaion as Gpotty

another whine for rude

opps thats right ,, this isn't a whine !!

some people whine so much they can't even tell the difference

GPreddy · « **Reply #26 on:** January 12, 2003, 05:38:27 PM »

Paint once again you demonstrate precisely how to be completely ignored.

Kweassa it most certainly was alt-f4. You can tell because a buff form doesnt just disappear when ack cant shoot it and no one is quite close enough to put guns on.

SOB · « **Reply #27 on:** January 12, 2003, 05:43:19 PM »

I read your post, Paint. So, try not to feel too badly that Voss is skipping over your posts while getting ready to post another whine.

SOB

I heard this guy you talk about on country ch just after it happened and his words were '' how the hell did I get credited with victories and landing when I crashed ''
