really got to me last night in a 30 minute CTA game with 5 per team... 3 quit and left me and another NOOB as food for the lions

yup, this is definitely annoying. just this morning i was handing 2 bomber pilots their rear ends, flying a 109 k-4 in a strike match, when the host (one of those bombers) ended the game. i think of myself as a fairly new player, so it felt good to finally be on the delivering end of the spanking, because i have been on the receiving end many times to the likes of RATTMAN, olife, Cranny, etc. but stayed through the entire battle... hey, chalk it up to a flight lesson from the best in the game!

In situations like that I find stealth a great help. Hide in the skies, way above then drop in directly over targets! You can get high enough to not even be on their radar and go over the top. About 20,000ft difference is needed so if they're at 5 you have to be at 25. Admittedly the target site wont come in till about 14,000ft but it'll give you enough time for two full drops. Pre-patch I would do it especially in the sciliy coast as you could clear 1200 points in a single run from above!!

I'm annoyed by anyone who quits for no good reason, host or not. If there's many players, you can't tell if they quit on purpose or not. But usually when I start a 1-on-1 fight against a new opponent, it turns out they have all the bad habits they learned in free-for-all: flying too slow, flat on the ground, and without a good sense of maneuvering in 3-d. And they quit when they get destroyed. I used to cut people slack, but now all I do is fly to high altitude so they can see me immediately when they respawn.

The way I see it, if you can't stand being schooled, you'll never learn anything.

But there are good reasons for quitting, on rare occasions I've pulled the plug for:

) blatant or repeated kamikaze in strike and airfields
) ramming bombers deliberately (as opposed to misjudging distance in a weave or bnz strafing pass, which is more effective when close)
) player disconnects that leave the sides too unbalanced
