That said I did tell him what I thought of him so maybe I lowered myself to his level. Anyway just my p'd off thoughts.

I very nearly rammed you last night! (by accident). I totally misjudged how fast a 109-K is. It turned out to be the sweetest B-17 kill I've managed.. One long burst from wing tip to wing tip from about 150m to about 10m. I was playing in cockpit view at the time and it looked great! Thanks and sorry at the same time :)

Was an absolute beauty winny, that I can live with as it shows skill! Your right about the speed of that K4, I was watching scotty, saw the radar blip, thought I've got time to try and hit him before you arrived, next thing I'm swimming home!! I've changed my tatics with that K4, i normally go for the engine but on that I'm aiming at the wings as it can take punishment head on and time is something you don't have against that and the G6!

yeah that is the problem in this copuntry to many fatcats at the top so we end up designing everything for the rest of the world and dont see any of it in this country because them fat bastards have sold it on

I've had a couple of games this afternoon. First CA and then a TB. Both host quit after I gave them a little beating with the G-6. Well... I had to tell them in a way that I dislike that kind of attitude, and decided I send them a message.

"Recomendation... Don't host games if u can't take loosing. It will only give u a bad reputation. And it sticks..."

In that way I hope they get the meaning, and still keep on playing the game. As I see it, we don't have any pilots to loose in BoP.

last quitter I met was a 1 on 1 deathmatch, flying a he-111. In free-for-alls and strikes they probably got plenty of kills with that thing, but not in a 20 minute duel with a 109k4. Unlike strike mode, they didn't spawn 5 miles from their target, so I could attack realistically, the way real bomber-killers did: climb high race in front of the target, attack in a fast dive from around 2 oclock or 10-oclock high, roll and extend away low, climb and fly ahead again, and repeat. They quit after about 8 minutes without hitting me once and dying 3 times.

It's getting old beating up on bombers in training, anyone who does a 1 on 1 match with me is welcome to use a bomber, as long as you fly it realistically instead of dogfighting with it like the AI tries to do.

For the first time yesterday i had more quited games than finished properly.

Most annoying was some guy who let us play till 14 mins only to quit because he'd had an 'invite' (the fact that he was losing had nothing to do with it....;))

I then received a note from Dave saying how myself and other players regularly quit when the going gets tough.

I had a bit of an exchange with him on this saying I dont believe i am a quitter and usually if the field is taken I will stick around for a dogfight. I will quit if the lag is so bad you cant shoot someone though.
He mentioned he was thinking of signing up to the forum to complain about this so I figured I would post it instead.

I told him I am fine with name and shame but I didnt agree with what he was saying. I can name a few players who do quit all the time when the game is up and also some players who keep going under pretty severe beating. Special shout for this to Luftwaffe40 who kept going in a long CTA the other night after all his fighter team mates quit

actually lol'ed when i read that, it was just the other night you were saying some dude was up in arms about you giving him a hard time lol


it takes some going to stay in esp if you're team mates are dropping out! first game i played online in a C/A i took an absolute beating but stuck with it think ratman was the host


only time i quit is as said already, is when its too laggy!!!

ive noticed this too, normally switch to a G6 as the timer gets to zero ........ few kills later "the host has quite the game" :)

sigh...BOP is really wearing my patience thin now, getting the b-17 is taking the biscuit and i'm fed up of useless teammates, they may as well quit cause they're not even worth a distraction they just fly off. matches now are mostly one-sided. and to finish that off my accuracy counter is bugged and is constanly dropping after every single match. i just feel like quitting all the time. Luftwaffe40 sounds like the kind of guy anybody would want on their team, good going.

Forget the scoreboards as you'll see elsewhere on the forum that they're not worth the bother. See Shadowcorps thread about volunteers as he's doing a more accurate and refective performance related database that you can rely on.
You'll also find the best of the best BoP addicts here who are all experts in their particular fields and are worth getting to know. In strike teammates make a big difference. Fly with guys you know and trust and the game becomes instantly more entertaining!
Anyway, welcome to the forum or asylum for flyers, one or t'other!!

Nycro 02-24-2010 08:04 PM

it'll come eventually, but Anton and his team really need to add an unlock table to the game where it shows you what you need to do to get a particular plane/weapon preset and tracking how far you are to getting the unlock, that would be awesome.
