I'll wait.

Let's see what you've got.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I have flown CAP between bases.  In one flight I racked up 8 P-51D kills in a Yak-9U (hey, they were persistant),

In all my other CAP sorties combined I have killed 1 (yes, one) P-51D.

CAP sorties are boring as heck.

Still a few thousand to go Mini?

Anyway, I hope you find it. I want to see how you weave that one example into some justification for your "it's impossible to kill all the fuel at a small field in two passes" pronouncements. Or that one guy killing all the fuel at a small field never happens or sometimes happens or "isn't the norm".

Because in the first case, you were and still are simply wrong. Wasn't just me pointing it out to you either.

In the second case, it obviously does happen. And "norm" or not, it shouldn't be that easy or, at the very least, the resupply effort should be more closely balanced to the destruction effort. Which, of course, covers the situation when a horde of terminal velocity death dive base bombers shows up too.

Gameplay in AH has been going downhill a while. You've posted as much in other threads. Your often slung accusation that "the game hasn't changed, the players have" simply doesn't wash. The game has changed quite a bit and the strat system, unlike most HTC changes, is not a real well thought out and executed idea. It's been deleterious to fun gameplay, rewarding the wrong behaviors.

You should be pushing to end jabos, Zippatuh, not to perk the bombers. In the time it takes one bomber pilot to up to an altitude where they won't have to run a gauntlet of mid-altitude furballers, get to the target, and calibrate accurately (completely ignoring the time for the flight back), a suicide jabo pilot would have had time to pork your field three ways from Sunday, and would already be working on the next field.

Sorry Toad, I was out all day.  I have the post of the fight where you weren't hiding in CV ack... just diving for a nearby PT boat (CV had scooted 6k away).  I could post that if you like.  It's the one I saved cause Engine and I both thought "I should have made one of you auger" was an incredibly witty comeback.  It doesn't look like I saved the others... which is unfortunate seeing as how I thought I had.  Thank god you pretty much admitted to it... though we'll have to stick with your "hiding from Fester" excuse since I can't prove otherwise.

Couldn't find it? LOL! Although the image of you doggedly searching your massive film file had me smiling.

However, I'm not surprised in the least. "hmmmmm.. I must have deleted THAT one."  :rofl

Your idea of "pretty much admitted it" shows how far you've strayed from reality Mini.

Heck no! That was the most fun to be had after the bombers started coming out to sink the CV!

Nah, man....... that was a blast! Literally, I guess.

Maybe toad... with the minor exception that you pretty much described the night.  "Ah yes.. that night..."

Of course, I'm sure there were valid reasons for hiding in the ack.  After all, fester is scary.  We were obviously coming in from 10k BnZ'ing.... like I always do with a P-40 because it's such an awesome BnZ plane.

The sad part was that the CV was actually attacking the base then moved out.   2 FDBs went to engage cause it might be a good CV fight.  We had to fly all the way to the CV cause the only attacking was being done by the ship gunners.  That's cool... get in a fight, get a kill, come back to base... THEN FLY ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE CV EVEN THOUGH NOBODY ELSE WAS THERE YET.  A few more FDBs showed up for a grand total of 4... and every fight still had to occur a sector away at the CV.  Somehow, nobody could escape it's ack.  I guess I was wrong about you on channel 1 too since I don't have the film.  You weren't hurling insults at any bomber that came in at the CV.  That was my imagination.

I've seldomely seen you anywhere away from a field toad.  I've seen lazs and company deack and vulch a field.  I've seen enough to know that this perfect nirvana of ideal fights of which you two speak is not something you guys actually subscribe too.  The idea of field porking is something you carefully define via fuel status because "strat potato" and "score potato" would be a very broad brush if you didn't.

Yeah, I remember it. I had a lot of fun there. The good fight was about 20 minutes before you guys showed up. It was all but over when you got there.

No, don't change your story. After all, your words are in this thread. You said I was hurling obscenities. Which is simply not my style.  


Basically, Mini, you don't see me at all. I rarely even see any FDB's anymore.

Want to find me? Look for CV action, that's my first choice. Second is a fight with two fields less than a sector apart. Those are what I look for when I log in.

I like the way you're trying to paint me though. Like I said, you're only embarassing yourself.

Mini , any time any of the Tas is on while your up--just holler and any one of us will be happy to leave the ack.

Now that is a flim that I would like to see.

I have flown MANY sorties with the BKs', and NEVER, and I repeat NEVER, have I seen them anywhere near the ack at a field, nevermind deack a field.

Is this invitation open to all FDB's or just MiniD?  Fatty mentioned his dad could beat up your dad.

Open to anyone Math , even Fatty's Dad:)

Great thing about a virtual world is even knowing most folks can beat me one on one is I get to try try again.
That's more than enuf fun for an old fella like me.

Same goes for the BBS--a few insults back and forth, maybe even calling folks liars and such doesn't do much in the way of hurtin.

Might cause a few hard feelings--might not--who knows. One thing for sure tho--mud washes off no matter how many times ya get hit:)
