I return to the forum to re-read some of my posts from yesterday. I go back to some of the older posts that flamed up in the past (same conversation, about head on or the less boring style), I find the same argument and Im trying to grasp the point. I try to understand the endgame of this debate (you know, break it down). There are good points made for both styles. Flying around the map or up so high that you are unseen on the radar can change the game. The tactic that I use is also known as a game changer, Decimate the opponent, by being a good shooter, fly straight up the center of the map and kill everything. I have learned over years to watch for a player being absent (then I know to check for a sneaker). It takes a lot to get me upset in a game, I used to freak out when a player would sneak, now I consider it a compliment (they can't get passed me, so they have no choice). All the greats of this game have been deadly head-on shooters, not say they couldn't turn-fight. I look back on the players who have made it to the the top 20, think about it. BStrachan, Foust, B52, Wig, BlueMax, Mean, Crocket, VonKilner, Rodama, 1001, TBuilt, Wabbit, Vampire and that damn Green Menace. Joining a game and seeing anyone of these players on the other side would make you shutter. All deadly head-on killers that will wreck your KDR and most likely win the game. I'm not saying that they "only" fly straight up the gut, they would all turn fight you to the death also. They are multi talented. Every once in a while they would also sneak one in (when they have a team that could hold the middle). So I guess my question is, Who has the better "tactics", straight shooter or barrel rolling sneaker? I can play either way, I have done both. I guess some would say, I should fly like Mig.29 and drop my bombs after takeoff and try to get shot down on the enemy carrier, so I can tank and become invisable, then win the game. Trust my, I have only done this once (to Mig.29).
My point in this long rambling garbage post, I really don't care how the enemy flies, straight, twisty, sneak, cheat, curse your head off, carry bombs or not. Will I call you stupid, idiotic, weak minded, not so smart, water headed, or dumber then me? No, but I will say Gg after I win the game. Go play the game, the way you wish. That's your right, but when you "imply" that you are smarter or better then the straight-shooters, then you have my attention. Have I asked you to change you playing style or said it's silly (or some other condescending name)?
Sorry for the rant, it went on a little long.
