Apologies
 
For my behaviour when i was just playing in arcade, The more i think about it the more i realise just how petulant and arrogant i was.

Very humble and dignified mate. If only more played with this attitude the gaming world would be a better place. I'm as guilty of doing this, sadly some players push the wrong buttons with me and the red mist decends.

i had a red mist moment with a fellow skullbreaker over a match in arcade, He has no left the skullbreakers claiming he will hunt me down! Listening to him reminded me how i had been; so sure of my "superiority" and not willing to take any criticism.
If you're reading this Eric good luck hunting me!

I take people as I find them, I thought you were a dick initially because of the abuse I would get if I ever shot you down, I also avoided being in the same game as you for a couple of weeks because you were telling me I was 'lagging bad'. I asked around and nobody else said I was laggy so I realised that you were were probably just a bit too sensitive about being shot down. I even deliberatley didn't shoot you down one game and then targeted the hell out of you in the second game (no message in the first game, abuse in the second)
just to make sure it wasn't me.

I was very surprised when you apologised because I didn't expect it from you and simply for that reason I decided to let it go (that and the fact that most of my mates were in games that you were in and I wanted to be able to fly with them) you went up in my estimation.

I've said it before, you're good and you're gonna get targeted by others who want a bit of glory.

Be happy in the knowledge that you're one of the best.

I think its also to do with how serious we take the game.

I got to the point where if it was a big game I had to put my ipod on and get in the zone with some music. I got so zoned out I didnt realise I was shooting people down who were probably just flying for first time.

Now I am being rationed (grrr) I feel lot more chilled out on IL2. When I was on the other night and ended up in that realistic match with you and Ratman I initially got frustrated but then decided to go for a tour of the valleys when I figured out my beloved Spit 2 is a stalling crate in realistic

Anyway its all good, we know each other well enough now not to take offence to anything we do....that is unless you use rockets, then I just dont know :-)

I got called an a**whole yesturday while playing Team Dogfight because i accedentally stole his kill (jag...shweder [something like that]) flew right in front of me, point blank. The dude relized i had a mic and appoligized. He was quite nice about it actually, he's saying the exact stuff you guys are saying now.

I think Winny said it once there is no such thing in IL2 as stealing kills, only shooting down someone that a fellow team member was taking too long to kill.
We have been playing the game since release day so can generally get the kill in 5-10 seconds of getting on someones tail but I guess some guys newer to the game will take a lot longer to get the kill shot. The problem is that all the time that guy is trying to get the kill, his target is a threat to the team so you may end up loosing that kill if he comes into the sites of another team mate

I've come across him (jag-whatever) before, he was slagging me off in the lobby because of my age (36), it was a 2v2, me and wookie and we won it in the last 2 seconds (most memorable TB I've had) that shut him up.

How can you steal a kill? They are either dead or alive. It's just petulance and spoilt kid speak.
