Suicide as a means to prevent kills?

    Dude you're exploiting a bug in the game which makes you no better than the ****** players you are trying to defend yourself with. When someone is trying to kill you, take it like a man, up the a'ss and just give the guy the win you f'ucking dou'chebag.

    Tell that to the arssholes that jump out of liberators and ESF all the time.

    Deconstructing OR bailing to avoid giving points out is the way a girl would play. Grow up and just die like a man, with your testicles hanging in your sack instead of hiding inside you like a pair of ovaries.

    Yesterday I had jumped on a moscito and unloaded rotary in his back, he used his AB and immediately deconstructed. That was so funny. So now killing someone with a nose gun is a cheap move too I guess.

    Close, but no cigar. Crashing into terrain is the way bads do it. Pros like me bail out and deconstruct, then /suicide. It takes great skill to only do that when you're on fire and with a missile incoming and out of flares, and still succeed. That's the real sport of dogfighting. Mexican dogfighting.

    EDIT
    pro tip: when you're down to your last sliver of health and about to die, afterburn straight up before bailing. it makes the esf harder to finish off, and gives you time to deconstruct while still in the air.

    If they were good at flying they'd use their nosegun :3

    Give me one valid reason to use A2A missiles other than being bad. An enemy ESF or a Lib is easy with the Hailstorm/Vortek/M18 and Gals are too rare to warrant its use. Using A2A is basically an admittance of being too bad to use your nosegun.

    "baaaw it's cheap"
    Please flying in this game is cheap on the whole. I think it's funny when ESFs instantly dive bomb into the ground when i surprise them as an AA max. Losing the kill doesn't bother me at all in fact flyboys committing suicide gives me a much greater level of satisfaction.

    *facepalm*
    A2A missiles get the job done faster, giving you more time to focus on your other tasks.
    You are a soldier, not a leisure pilot shooting clay pigeons.
    This is a war, not a flying contest.

    Oh ok, so it's just about getting enemy jets out of the sky ASAP? Guess my crashing when on 5% HP only sped that up :3
    Your welcome!

    Might I ask what is the matter with people suiciding and bailing out so their aircraft can crash? You've done your job, which is to get enemy aircraft out of the air. If complaining about your lack of XP or a kill is your first priority, then learn to get yourself out of the Skinner's Box. Stop worrying about XP and start focusing on teamwork. Y'know, the thing this game is primarily designed around?

    Indeed. tyvm.

    I suck at flying in this game, but every suicide has been me trying to bail out unsuccessfully or do some canyon flying action movie ******** and failing.

    Doesn't suicide remove one of your kills anyway?

    So I guess its only [female dogs] left in the air. "When I cant see the enemy locking me" - then you are a very bad player and thus will get killed. This will happen to you in air, in a vehicle or as infantry. What I read makes me kind of smile because it is funny to read about the problems of [female dogs]. On the other hand it makes me sad to see what kind of kiddys are playing this game. I think we really have to consider adding a 10 sec timer to Deconstruct plus giving full kills for suiciders instead of assists. We still can make a win out of it. Today I was shooting a Scythe with my primary down to 50% of the healthbar. I then turned off because I knew that guy would crash since he was flying like an Irish. We dont need to chase these guys and destroy them. They all do it themselves. I may sound like a grandfather now and I hate when people say that in earlier times everything was better but honestly "When I was young we had freakin' balls!!!"

    I bail to deny enemy XP. Its a good way to extend ones middle finger to the one who just deplaned you. But some go to extremes.... Locked a guy up with A2A missiles. His aircraft is 90% healthy. He bails before i even fire. His plane falls and survives... so i blow it with my guns... could not ask for a more cooperative enemy.
  15. Windchaser

    lol the A2A missiles aren't even that good. I wasted a **** load of certs on them and I wish I hadn't. They don't even do that much damn damage and the gun kills so much faster.

    I don't really care that people bail on me. They're out of the sky and that's one less ****** spamming rockets and crap into my team's spawns.
