I'm confused now Branko. Are we talking about rockets here or the Me 262? As the 262 doesn't have rockets as an option in the game I don't see how we can discuss the two in the same sentence. Winny, McKinney and I took B17's into game where McQ and Shadow flew 262's. Having not had the pleasure of flying against a 262 in realistic I thought it would be similar to when a piston tries to down you and sadly doesn't even get close. What was a shock was the range at which the 262's cannons are effective and the speed at which it can close distance. Both McQ and Shadow flew them exactly as they would have been in real life with some nice and devastingly effective BnZ tactics. I therefore don't see or personally have any issue with anyone flying a 262. And whilst I agree rockets are cheap, sadly I don't think you or I will get anywhere by just stating our dislike of them on here. No matter what they'll always be in the game and as such people will use them. As has previously been stated to be effective they have to be point blank which not many people are capable of getting to. Most of the times I have been downed by rockets it has been due to lucky shots rather than any skill level and as such I have given up worrying about them. As they are a fixed trajectory it isn't that difficult to take avoiding action to avoid them. It is a pity none of the german planes have them as armament options as this would certainly make the game more real but we have to live with what was provided within the game and as such think we just have to make the best of it. All in all I'll respect anyone who can down using guns over rockets but they're always going to be there and so it's not worth crying over spilt milk. There are also those who are able to just look at a bomber and the thing falls to bits so do we start to label these 'effective' pilots as unfair just because they spent their time honing their craft just as I spent it learning to become an 'effective' bomber pilot? I am pretty sure there will be people out there that hate me due to the fact they can't down me or out bomb me when I'm in the 17 but is that my fault? Just because someone has taken the time to both learn their aircraft and how to use it shouldn't immediately mean categorising them as 'unfair'. All it means is you adapt your tactics to prevent the oppotunities arising. For example the 262 sadly doesn't turn that well so keep the 17 nice and slow n low and turn to follow them and they'll struggle to make contact with you.

Thanks for the irrelevant reply Branko... I was talking about a video game..

I was pointing out that for you to post on here complaining that people use a certain plane, and to also be posting on here about the fact that some people complain about you using your bomber, is a little contradictory.

So can we or can't we fly whatever the hell we want to?

If you show up to a gunfight with a knife you're gonna get into trouble.

Branko why are you turning all these threads into an insult fight? Please keep it to one thread only if you really have to complain about other people.

bobbysocks · #36 03-30-2010, 08:45 PM

thanks dear you just proved my point. and i NEVER EVER touted myself as a couch ace...i am far from that. i am cannon fodder...when i come online i will surely get my butt kicked. and it will be dissapointing and humbling and i will take it like a gentleman. and if there are people i wish not to share the experience with...i will not play in that sandbox. and if i get to the point where i must come here to rant and hurl insults...i will find something else to do as a pass time.

and just for your information...the name Bobby socks...was my late father's nick name in WW2 where he flew real mustangs, in a real war, and was a real ace. I took that to honor him...not me. kiss your own 6.

Hey Bobby, if you get/have 1946 I'll gladly be your wingman for online games... I don't quite play BoP much anymore, and if so only on training for some good graphics (that's about it now, I can't stand Online.) Anyway, I'll make sure you're not made into Cannon Fodder while flying along side me. (WITH A REALY YAK-3 MODEL!!!!!

)

Time for some straight talking;

First of all, how about actually learning some etiquete and not using caps? Its considered disrespectful and hostile as it is used to indicate shouting. Consistantly banging on in the fashion you have indicates a lack of internet experience, and understanding. People have been fired from jobs for that kind of typing.

Secondly, this is the internet. People can and will talk anyway they like. If you dont like that then its just tough luck as to everyone else on the internet, your a nobody. There is nothing you can do about it, you can't make anyone say or do anything just because you say so. You have no legal right here, and no moral one either.

Thirdly, your husband is the person with the experience of real life aerial combat, not you. It doesn't magically rub off and make you a better pilot in a computer game, especially if he was a tail end charlie, waist gunner or navigator etc. We are not in the war anymore incase you failed to notice. Insulting another member's veteran father just because you disagree with them on a point is no way to honour the memory of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrafice. You only show yourself to be prejudicial, and ignorant.

And lastly, if you dont like how a person plays the game then leave the game. You gain no kudos while gaming from anyone playing just because you have a veteran husband. If your tooling around in dogfight or team battle in a B-17 then people have a right to be pissed at you for ruining their game experience for your own pleasure. Dont be so shocked and surprised when they then voice that opinion.
