The lag was truly horrible, and it was difficult to know who was doing what to whom at any moment. After about 20 minutes of futility, I decided to go high and use the tactic shift of dive bombing from 2000 feet in the hopes of hurrying this game to a merciful conclusion. The tactic worked well, successfully bombing 2 hangars, whereupon I immediately headed back for reload. On the way, Stihac accused me of being a coward and a disgrace to my rank of MORAF (!). Rez, who was also red, spoke up saying that there were no cowards in the game. I just said that it was smart, not cowardly, and let it go at that. Moments later, another blue hit the last hangar and the game was over, thank God! We all hit, "Play Again", and the basic same people were in another game of BTH again (including Stihac!). I proceeded to triple the kills of anyone else in the game as well as to bomb 7 hangars with both plane and tank before asking Stihac if I was "brave" now? Unfortunately, he left the game without answering, so I went ahead and bombed the last one with my plane---game over. What do you all think about Stihac's accusations? Were they justified?
Nothing at all to worry about Dunc. Some folks will try to intimidate you by calling you out about using tactics like you did in an effort to either prevent recurrence or just out of frustration at losing two hangars (In the instant case)
From where I sit you have absolutely nothing to apologize for.
I have been accused of dropping before after releasing one bomb in order to defend my base, or using bombs to destroy close tanks. The same rationale applies to that accusation as to your example. We know you always play with honor and fairness, as do I. From what I recall when you were lower ranked and I was in games with you, you were a chronic high flyer, and we all learned pretty quick to watch up high for you. (Believe it or not, I even got a pm complaining about you doing this after you joined WP, which I promptly dismissed)
All that being said, I think Werewolf summed it up best. Thanks for the chuckle first thing in the morning Ol' Red!
