does this game promote sadism?

Actually no, I don't. On both counts.

My post was ment as a counterpost to Raaaid's post, nothing more. Might have come across as a bit harsh, but that doesn't mean that I'll be ass about it in a fight. Guess my post could be misunderstood, but my point is that when you go into a fight, you fight to win. And that means not stopping the fight until you're either out of ammo or out of enemies, or dead. That's how I treat combat in all games, singleplayer or multiplayer, online or offline alike.

I have a simple creed and a set of rules that I fly by. I will not vulch people. I will not attack someone with their wheels out (signalling surrender) or people that are in a landing-pattern. I will not blatantly steal kills from others. I will let people get up into the sky in order to offer a good fight on even terms. But I will, when the fight is on, use every bit of my meager skills in trying to bring you down decisively. I will be honorable in a fight, but I will also be both relentless and ruthless, as I expect others to be towards me. I will salute those that I DO manage to shoot down, as I will salute the skill of those that shoot ME down. I will behave honorably, but I will give no quarters when the fight is on, and, as I said, I expect none in return.

So no, I don't think I'm in the cockpit during the summer-days of 1940.

i just had a brilliant fight online

we were close pilots

like i didnt shoot him it was loads of fun seeing who was the better turner and managed better the engine

if i had shot him when i had chnace, 4 or five times it would have been a tenth of the fun i had

even the other guy commented on what a bright fight that have been

i got to close we collided

the only thing i enjoy from games are circle fights but I DO NOT like to shoot people

face it its a game and if you want it realistic how would you justify flying a 109?

edit:

we are playing this game like savages without rules like they played football in the old times

for example:

head ons should be forbidden

when theres a fight one vs one no one should enter combat with them and the same in the case theres a wingman a fight two by two

a plane thats smoking should try to land his plane and the enemy should let him

i bet even in wwii they wer far more gentlemanlike than the quake players of this game

Its always fun read you Raaaid

There will be servers with rules, like no bulching or shoulder shooting, like they was in IL2-1946.

Is just matter of time, there nice people to fly with them out there

[raaaid]

shame i have to study id like to jump online more

what i doing is get on a foes six and dont shoot

then he thinks im out of ammo and ignores me

then i get so close that shoot at his wing tip aiming away from the cocpit and engine

but plz lutier i want 10 m convergence

edit:

now does anyone take the game withas much realism as me as to act in the game as i would in rl?

[simace]

raaid,

Relax.

It is a game.

You are not dead.

You are still alive.

You will fly again.

You will have someone else to shoot at.

You will have someone else shooting at you.

Go have fun taking wings and virtual lives

Good hunting m8

What are you studing Raid? If its law you will end up f#*%ing more ppl's lives then you will in this game.

I can only pray its your 2x tables and not your PPL/CPL/CFI ticket.
BTW, what country are you in? Or is your broken english a put on?

Some days I do, some days I don't. Depends on who I'm flying with. As of now, I don't have the time to fly so that's not really realistic. I doubt that fighter pilots didn't have time to fly. lol

Maybe in the bathroom like the Norweigan "elite" troopers guarding the king who hide in the bathroom when the alarm went off.
Best norway joke ever...except it's true!
