DoubleTap Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 From time to time we get a squadmate posting a frustrated tirade about their performance, questioning whether they should throw their feckin' joystick out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenPark Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 LOL....welcome to the club DT. At one point last week I was 7 and 0 and then 11 and 4 on ZvW for k/d ratio. Now I'm 21 and 20. Last night I kicked but and had some 2 kill flights, but always hung around a bit too long trying for more or trying to help others and WHAMMO! Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes your the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted October 23, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted October 23, 2007 Great post Glenn, so on the mark. Real life extends it's influence into our virtual flying, whilst the flying can be a welcome relief if we are distracted by RL then it can a frustrating experience and not provide the light relief we sought. But it can also be so immersing that during a dog fight, when you are either fighting to save your bacon, or manoeuvring feverishly to get the bogey in your cross hairs, that all else ceases to exist and only the pounding of you heart reminds you of your physical body . Perhaps it's just as well such moments come in short bursts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannon_fodder Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I usually have the opposite of this: night after night of crashing on takeoff or being blown out of the sky by an unseen enemy over and over again.... until one night for one mission only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted October 23, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted October 23, 2007 ~S~ DT, Know where your comming from M8 !! The mood your in really affects your flying amongst many other things. If you've had a crap day you can end up flying for the WRONG reasons....revenge on the human race is NOT a good one !!! LMAO. Also of course other pilots agendas can affect your time in the virtual skies, it all depends who's there and what they are trying to achieve. That goes for both friendly AND enemy. Having more than one string to your bow helps which I know you have in as much as you love the mission building side of things. It doesn't all have to be about getting great scores all of the time right. You would have to be a sad git if thats all you were interested in. I have enjoyed just flying around on a sunset map, just admiring the graphics before now !! LOL The best thing for me is a sporting "joust" with a like minded pilot, that just can't be beat !!
