I find that very hard to believe. Unless you were in TB and your teammate was a bomber.

As long as you're playing Aracade/Realistic, with names over peoples planes you are not playing a free for all. Whether planned or unplanned people are going to team up against you. In Sim, unless you're the only one flying a MC202, no one is going to know who you are unless they really, really have a grudge against you.

Bummer Kid, where do I sign.

Hey Mates, check out Orpheus Zero post in "cheese tactics" string. Easy changed tactics on you.

I know what game modes i am playing mate, i'm not blind. i know when i'm being ganged up on so..... despite your claims, simulator isn't the end to these probelms, but infact because there is no hud/targeting you can be ganged up on and those doing it will not even know they're doing it.

this thread is about a dogfight, why would I be talking about team battles?

The point was the game will be as much like air combat as you set it up to be. There hasn't been a free-for-all air combat in history that I know of. Maybe one or two by mistake.

Don't take my opinion of FFA too personal. Maybe I shouldn't call it dog-shit, sorry if that was offensive. But as a form of air combat it's hard to take FFA seriously. I don't worry about the points anymore, only getting a high KDR.

That makes even less sense.

Even if you were flying a plane with bad camo that marked you out from the rest I don't believe these aces would shoot you down and then ignore each other and wait till you reappeared.

I never said it was the end. It is extremely unlikely to happen in Sim. Conversely it is extremely likely to happen in Arcade/Realistic.

so what happened to me those three times i played simulator is completley unlikley to happen.... cool, i defied the odds but still doesn't change the fact it happened.
I don't gang attack people in dogfight, shame on those who do and it happens in every mode.

Also this is just a game, getting all steamed up about flying tactics and getting ganged up upon is a waste of energy.
You fly your best & if 3 or 4 guys team up against you you do your best untill the game ends & then move on.
They have gained nothing apart from proving they can't hold their own as pilots.

ROTFL.

Hurricane is Bucketmanroc, we have a little inside joke going at the moment thanks to some aussie kid called Sqirt...something. He sent Bucket a message calling him a cheap shot for joking saying "lets get the Squirt" or something like that. Not that we could really gang up on him as we were playing sim.

Thanks for the kind words anyway Madmax

And Bucket/Hurri lol be carefull how you write your posts, we don't want anymore misunderstandings, you might start getting more bad messages
