To make it clear for all, if your pegged as a Basterd it is a good thing!!!!
For instance, your flying around dropping planes and bombs as though it were nothing, just another day at the office, (Foust, T, Crockett, Coop, Mikey, Chief, Fate, BT, Hulk, Taps, CC you Basterds know who you are)! And from no where the chat POPS UP "YOU BASTERD"
This doesn't mean your fatherless, even if you are. Its not an insult either. Its a way to say "jolly good show" or "well done your quite amazing this day" with out coming off as too Nancy like.
Another example would be.... Say you just blew someone's rudder off, as they were a micro mm from the drop button over your hanger or boat. You "Basterd" is a way of showing respect to the unbelievable never should have happened your a devil worshiper to make that shot!! Shot that you just made, and at the same time venting for me, or the poor Basterd you just crushed over his target.
Fact is being a Basterd is a show of respect and friendship, shared only with the few that earn such comments by some notorious pilot in these virtual sky's....
So don't put your tablet down with tears welling up and an uncontrollable urge to cry!!!! When your mentioned as a Basterd. Stand up straight chest puffed fist clenched.... And listen to your inner self. You'll hear it if you really listen..... NO YOU DA BASTERD!!!!
I will except that with honor!!!!!
You Basterds!!!!!
