Salute AKAK
« on: August 31, 2014, 03:35:21 PM »
We had some great fights last night in the MA.  I was flying with DazyCutr (a salute to him as well for being a great lead and funny/encouraging on vox!). Mostly it was 2 v 2.

I have given AKAK a bit of grief to go along with a ton of silent disdain--the guy is good which is soooooo frustrating--and a couple weeks back I ran my mouth.  He said, "DA?"

As with Violator he kicked my tail feathers in big time.   Then he taught me a few things that I wound up using in those fights last night (to setup better on his wingman).  On our last encounter, even after shooting me to pieces, he was still giving me tips on how to RTB safely (via PM).   Say what you will, but that's class.

This is why I play the game.  More-than-worthy opponents who act like they've been there and done that (vs running off at the mouth).

Your right Vraciu, AKAK is a class act and as you mentioned one of the reasons is because he is as good as he is! :aok  I don't run into him much anymore, but he used to drive me nuts in MW lol. He has also been very helpful in the SweetFX setups and profiles.

Ack is one of those guys I ALWAYS pay attention to.  He's smart as heck and very knowledgeable about anything he chooses to expound on.   :cheers:

Oh I felt that dread last night. We were chatting via PM and here comes a 38.  "Uh oh.  That's you."   I was like, ooooooooohhhh butter.    Lol

Like a baby seal.  Dazy managed to distract long enough for me to slither away with half my plane shot off.....for a ditch.    AKAK: "Be sure to do this and do that to help you control your plane better."     "I towered and rolled again.  Did you make it?"   Classy all the way.

He always seems to dangle that 38 like a fishing lure letting me get just close enough to taste sweet revenge...then before I know it I'm being roped..I get with in 800 ..squeeze the trigger spray and pray, but to no avail..the next thing I know I'm rolling over and diving to the deck yelling for help...and take a guess who's 400 off my 6..seriously take a guess..POOF!! I'm in the tower.. :bhead I'll never learn...still a fun fight for me cause it's just that..a fight and he's punishing me for my mistakes to help me learn :rofl..Maybe the next time I won't take the bait..NOT!! :rofl

Yep.  And the little futter does it without differential thrust.   What a dbag!   Lol. :)

Oh that dbag Lazer?   I hated him more than AKAK.  And then I got stupid and went to the DA with 9 other guys.  We fought 5 v 5 and told horrid SNL Jeopardy jokes and Lazer had me crying with laughter.

I used to hate them both.  Now I am glad to have them here.  It is no shame to lose to them.

This third Sith you mention has not crossed my path yet.  Thankfully.
