I was on SoF today playing red in a Spit VIII, had just got an FW-200 and an FW-190, was heading back towards my base at about 15-16k feet low on fuel and cannon ammo, I stopped by the first base and saw it was covered in blues, and decided to potter over to another. Then I noticed one of the Fire Squadron guys who was on my team diving in on a 109 over the base, so I checked my fuel gauge, saw it was pretty empty, but I thought, "what the hell, I've talked to the guy on TS a bit, seems nice, I'll help him out". So I went in alternating with him, except I was only firing MGs to keep the guy off balance. Finally the 109 driver heads into the weeds so I stay high covering the FS guy and he dewings the 109 on the deck.
I check my fuel gauge and see I'm almost running on fumes, and now the base below me has three blue 190s moving in towards it. Damn. I nose over to the other base and run out of fuel halfway there, have to land on a road. So I only got 50 points, but I didn't care, to be honest, it was a fun sortie.
That is, until the FS guy I was helping out pipes up in chat saying "you know what grunch, you're not a good teamplayer".
I'm like "oh, really...why's that?". He says "I don't know, you just aren't, you should watch urself u know".
Am I wrong to be really offended? The fight played out as a textbook wing-pair attack, with one staying high to cover the other in between attacking and not prosecuting the kill, I couldn't have been a better wingman without being on TS to be honest, and all I get is accused of being a terrible teamplayer, despite losing 450 points for helping the guy!
To be fair there's no way he could know I was only firing MGs, but if he was such a great teamplayer he wouldn't care which way the points went anyway, would he? I don't call people out for cutting in unless they're literally shoulder-shooting, myself.
Seems to me like the guy couldn't recognise teamwork if it dewinged him with a MK-103 out of a 2000ft height advantage.
