Pilotasso Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ice If you talk it out, you will find thats possible to do both things. And you dont have to drop neither because you feel disapointed.

bSr.LCsta Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Well to be honest. I dont see the point. When Kudos mentioned this in a flight a few days ago it was about a match against squadron leaders. Somewhere the idea has changed. I signed up for a squadron leader v squadron leader match. If thatr is not what it is then im out. Sorry. Wheres that crying emicon? is this ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEODARK Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Bite me I expected that kind of remark from you. I might chip a tooth. ;) Aw, c'mon Ice. isn't your nick all about being cool and conserved? This would be fun, kind of like playing ace combat vs the yellow squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I either play alone or with MY team. That to me is what being a squadron leader is all about. Please respect my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I either play alone or with MY team. That to me is what being a squadron leader is all about. Please respect my decision. And before someone thinks he's a quitter - i can tell you i wouldn't fly versus my squad mates on the other team. If you fly together for ages you're familiar on comms, know the tactics and so on - the leaders won't have a chance. That's what training is about, or not?

NEODARK Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 this is still a game, right? we do these things because we enjoy them.,even if taken seriously. But it's cool.if he doesnt want to fly, not a problem. I respect his reasons. To me, this is a game and it should be just about fun. to each his own.

GGTharos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yep ... a game. Like F4. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 And what's fun about? I know the 169th back from the F/A-18 days and i can tell you they are top notch pilots so anyone who is willing to fly versus more than 2 of them (being on comms) must be new to the game ... eh, sim ... or stupid. But if you wanna lose ... ever thought there's a reason for ICE to fly with his team? Same story for the other squads :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 And I know that you missed the point :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Simple: People fly this game in the way that's most fun for them. Everything else is pretty extraneous. IMHO anyway. As such I don't think Ice should be criticized for bowing out, nor do I think anyone should be criticized for participating.

NEODARK Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 A GAME!!!! A GAME!!! You dare call this Simulator........ (Gasp) .......... A GAME? Here's some soap..... Go wash your mouth out young lad. ;) :p yes, this a sim is not. I dont know you, but.. -IRL strobes do work in aircraft -IRL you dont have transparent trees -IRL you'd blackout if your couch/chair leaned 30° while you swing it around to get your doughnut -IRL planes have fire extinguishers -IRL there is no "RCVR" -IRL shadows are not blocky -IRL pilots arent as stuck up ;) -IRL your wife/GF does not shout "get your damned ass here, dinner is getting cold" (In Real Life people dont say "IRL") in a GAME, we do :p etc..

GGTharos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Vulching isn't all that uncommon ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Vulching isn't all that uncommon ;) Maybe in your squad - all squads i've known so far damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Really? Ever ran into a server that says 'vulchingis okay'? Wouldn't be so hard to run into one ...

GGTharos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I can name 169 and 44. Both have maps where vulching is fine.

Floyd Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I can name 169 and 44. Both have maps where vulching is fine. (However, the airfields tend to be defended ;) ) You say you've read in the briefing of a 169th map that vulching is ok? Not doubting your word, just wanna clarify. Edit: ok, they allow it; checked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Just jumped on it. Direct Copy and paste, bolding/emphasis mine: ~~~~~~~~169th Statistics Server~~~~~~~~~ ~~~Follow your Statistics and Flight log at~~~ http://169thpanthers.com.au/Stats/statsindex.php ~~~~~~~~~~~72 Player BVR~~~~~~~~~~~~ Waypoint 1 (Mt Cougar) Is common for all aircraft Weather: Partly Cloudy Vulching is allowed. (Shooting of piloted aircraft on the ground) This is WAR! I didn't copy the entire briefing as it wasn't necessary. Vulching's ok if you put in the right defenses ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
