I started aging this game about 10 months ago, when I started I made some dumb .is takes like spawn kill and camp, but marshalls,VETS of the game would say something. "That's not how we play", "you don'you don't sneak", "you don't camp, bomb and leave" all by vets who've been playing along time. Lately I feel even those vets/ new people are just consistently blasting people/me before I can even get airborne, and since their firing on you from the second you spawn by time you get airborne your already dead! Then you've got 3 reds just circling /camping over head spawn killing, the games gotten cheap, there's no respect or loyalty to play a good fair game.. I don't need to hear oh that's not how it was in WW1, this games in the present people, have some integrity people, teach other's, stop trying to better your stats by playing cheap!

Speaking now as a member of the MORAF club, I believe that we have a duty to set a good example of how to play the game as well as to police it during the game. However, there are different opinions in this club as to what is permissible. That said, I find most of us to be of one mind when it comes to the integrity of the game. So, if we know about it, we can act. If we don't, how can we?! You did right in complaining in a public forum. Hopefully, this will help. Thank you for your honesty.

That is not how it was in ww1 there was a code of honor among pilots .even the red baron let wounded planes fly home .did they fire on their way in to bomb yes that was normal did the hit first aid stations yes .and the government of that side would issue an apology for the incident as aid stations were not targeted.did the planes fly off right away no they would loiter and cover incoming planes but only if there were planes coming in on a run .if not they would leave and beat a hasty retreat for home .fighters did not attack a base as fighters were needed miles out to hold off enemy fighters they kept the fighters as far for the bombers as possible.they would take off first and draw the enemy fighters away from the target .it was not common for both to fly together until much later in the war and still fighters did not attack any base .let alone kill a pilot on the ground or just taking off .some.people use the last few months of the war to justify what they do here when in reality it only happened for a very short time in ww1.and only because the axis powers were in their death throws .

now I will cover planes just coming in or a tank that's shooting but I will let the pilot take off and give him a chance to defend him or her self .I will fire when I'm coming in on a bomb run and I do not intentionally target any spawning plane .

older pilots should show respect to the younger pilots and show they how the game should be played .

Most fighter pilots prayed on badly or unarmed artillery spotter planes. It was their mission, and they were the most important targets.

The tactic was, sneak up on the enemy till you couldn't miss. Shoot in the back before he knew what hit him.

Chivalry was an invention of the propaganda press, the film industry, and the unknown masses desperately in need of some heroes and meaning in a totally senceless war. This went on after the war.

There are really good documentaries with interviews of the actual pilots that survived this madness.

Sure there were those that let the opponent fly home, but mostly they were out of bullets themselves.

This is a silly game that we take far too serious. Our moods and our general attitude towards others will show through in how we play.
Be upset about it,......

But more experienced players should not need to pad their stats like this.

If you dó, you better have had a sh!tty day, a nagging wife or some other good "excuse" to misbehave here.......get it out, get a grip, and get back to playing like an adult again. (It's what I do.)

Right after begin in the RAF for 2 years I got to meet 2 ww1 veteran pilots and 30 ww2 veteran pilots.

The ww1 vets told me that when they where doing a scout and destroy mission with their squad they would come flying in and be shooting at the enemy planes before they were taking off so sorry if you don't like me supressing you to contemplate my personal bomb run then they would fly around while the bombers would do the bombing of hangers and ammo dumps so I will provide my team with cover real tactics are used by myself after all your playing a simulation game :whistle:

That's just life. :)
No point in complaining how others play the game, they are valid strategies, unless there has been an agreement in that game what rules it is going to be played under (quite a good idea at the start of the game).

Faced with these strategies, we have two choices, exit the game and go find another where its easier, or put up with some losses while you develop a cunning strategy to get out of the blockade.

I've used both choices depending on my mood.
(The second choice is more fun and satisfying when you crack it. ;) )

I hear ya, Ryan. Just sit on the runway with the breaks on until the camper flies by, then take off, release your bomb (not on the hangars please) and try to get behind him. Then he'll be busy trying to get you and he won't be able to spawn kill anymore.

Don't show anger in world chat because that will just encourage them to do it all the more. Yeah, your gonna have unbalanced games that are like the NFL against little leaguers. That will help you build your skills. Some people will even give you pointers.

Some guys are bent on winning and don't care to listen to reason. Other's remember that it's just a game and are good sports.

Hopefully you'll get to fly with B52. He's a great guy and a great pilot and will always give you great pointers!!! :cheer:

Hope to fly with you soon, Ryan!!! :D
