CheeseTactics

lol got to say some really valid points in here.


im a fair player in respects to if my aircraft is that badly damaged i tend to bail if i can alot of time i cant react quick enought to . What would you do as if you were flying for real A. leave the battlefield and limp home ( dont have that option on bop) B. bail. its a bit respect for the other players in the game IMO

hate kamikazi's (sp) ive flown into people head to head or attacking a bomber (gilly a few times :p) i will immeadiately send a message "sorry wasnt ment". ive never rammed someone cause they got me 3 or 4x in a row, i do my best to try and shot them down

rockets - also a lame lame tactic yawn sooooooooooooo boring, as dk pointed out it was used as an eventual tactic, but once the rockets were used that was it, but wee punks in I153's who sit on you're tail machine guns blazing and rockets used as quick as they can respawn yaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!

now i aim for the trees...but not to intentionally crash ( well sometimes but i will get to that). my best tactic for shaking someone off my 6 is hit the deck and blow the sparrows out of their nests. this is the one thing i can do pretty well..lol. but my plane must look like the pic below when i am done.

now as for crashing or bailing i will ask what is proper "Etiquette". i by chance did happen to get a kill or the guy after me spun in and he crashed...but not before he tore me to shreds. my crate is barely able to fly let alone engage. in real life (i'm with scotty) i would get the hell out of dodge and break for any airfield, try to belly her in a farmers field, or if too uncontrollable point her to germany and bail out. so at this point i may crash so i am on equal grounds ( equipmentwise ) with my opponent. Or should i stay in the air and serve my self up? i really wouldnt want anyone doing that for me. but if that is the way the game is played i will. i have never intentionally eaten earth simply to deny someone a take down. if i cant shake'm then then he deserves the points/kill. all in all i dont want to be a another twat in gilly's hall.

I doubt that Bobby! The fact you come on here, converse and post some historical and interesting stuff shows you have inteligence!
As far as I'm concerned if you smash my plane up beyond repair I'll graciously bail thereby crediting you the kill. I wouldn't stay with a crippled plane in real life so why would I when playing IL2. I appreciate what Scotty says about the times when you can't or don't get the chance but to deliberately bomb yourself as you get low enough was just extracting the urine I thought. If it's not bad enough that you spin the wheel and hope when people crash you get the credit to deliberately destroy yourself really was beyond cheese and tantamount to cheating in my book. All of the guys I play the game will bail and not only do we play with honour, integrity and maturity we also acknowledge the games failings and try to get around this by bailing. Anyway I'd rather have a fresh plane and get back to killing than trying to fly something that won't!
Respect to those that do bail and watch your six to those that don't, I'll happily just keep getting righteous on your ass! Call it quality control!!!

AAAHHHH so a bailout will give the other guy a kill?? i was under the impression that a bail would rob him of a kill. ok...now what happens if the opponent crashes before like i said and my plane was way beyond airworthiness? bail? and since he's dead and i survived...it goes back to 0-0?? there is a lot i need to learn about this game besides flying.

[winny]

If I can keep straight and level then I'm not bailing, you'll have to 'explode' me. If the plane's unflyable then It's time to jump.

Them's my rules and they seem to keep people happy. (Except sometimes for reasons I can't explain I hit the PS button insted of start and plummet into the ground)

Oh, if you've hit me with rockets, I'm staying in the cockpit and aiming for a tree.

99% of the time on ps3 it'll credit the kill if you bail. There is the odd time when it doesn't but not enough to be a problem.
As for your question ( I'm guessing you refer to 1v1?) if he's crashed deliberately and I haven't been creddited the kill I'd still bail if I couldn't fly, after all to get me to that state they have had to have hit me a reasonable amount. And as I said I'd rather be back in a fresh killing machine than a limping dying aircraft anyway and time spent crawling around is time that can be used to get onto their six and hit them.
The idiot I referred was at it again last night and thanks to shadow, kav and bad for helping me not go too mental!! Had to take a break afterwards I was that p'd off... Think I'm taking it way to personally!!!!!

what a cock that has to be the most limp wristed dick dribbling tactic i have heard of especially to stay at the top of a leaderboard that is totally knackered

[dkwookie]

I don't even recognize this guys name. How he made it to the top of the leaderboard with such shoddy tactics makes an even bigger mockery of those leaderboards than it was already.
But I must say it's good to have loosers like this in the game cos it gives us fair players someone to shoot with extreme prejudice. By this I mean I am nearly at the point where I hold back in matches because there are freinds I don't really want to shoot. We need some rogues knocking about to pepper.
In fact in my view we could do with a team of ace dickheads to get some real preasurised team battles. I wish that clan shadowcorp talks about would turn up en masse to spice things up

You got to be carefull here bobby lol. These guys are talking about the patched PS3 version. I got in a big arguement a few months back with a guy who said if you bail out the shooter always gets the kill, which we on xbox know isnt true. I didn't know that what he said IS true after the PS3 patch. But he WAS misleading xbox players that bailing out is a good thing to do when it really isn't, its no different than a crash. Best thing to do on xbox is stay in your plane to give the shooter as much time as posible to "Air Kill" you.

lol this made me laugh hard.

[bobbysocks]

Pope, even if the plane is barely holding its own? i really wouldnt want a kill like that. shooting a lame duck while you have a fresh bird...i dont know, man. i would rather he get a fresh one and we go at it again. i am not in it for the points...will never see my name on a leaderboard. here for the fun and the challenge. but i dont want to P!$$ everyone off either.
