A poll... When you meet a single low con

[lasersailor184]

I engage and fight to one of our deaths.


However, if someone jumps me when I am that low, I expect him or her to stay and fight when I turn it around on him.

[VWE]

z) Engage him... only to find out that his 15 cloacked LA7 buddies were waiting for me to get low. I end up lookingout the tower soon. Damn Klingons...


ROFL  I have never ever cloaked an La-7... its your tunnel vision that doesn't allow you to see me!

Å: (haha, further back in the alphabet you guys can't get)

(I'm in a Me163)

First I soil myself.

Then, because I'm the best B'n'Zooooooooooooomer there is, I decide to secure my E advantage by turning on the rear flame and go 20k straight up. Next, I will NOT go for the kill unless the poor G2 fellow is stalled, spinning or in a similarly helpless situation.

Paranoid? me?

I've never been shot down doing this... NEVER! Is there any better indication of skill!!???!!!?!?!!!???!!?!?

[Hap]

i do neither.  bullets are a precious resource to valuable to be wasted on something that can respawn or reupp immediately.

i shoot em if they in my way.  but strat is where it's at

Do you:

a) Run away
b) Engage WEP and run away
c) Run away toward the nearest friendly reinforcements
d) Jink as you run away
e) Run away toward friendly ack
f)  Run away toward an enemy base and die in a straight-in augering blaze of ack-perforated glory.  

I choose answer B.  The 109's superior ACM tactics are no match for my newb flying style,  i would at least need 10k on him to engage!

[lasersailor184]

Now that you mention it, F is sounding might tempting.

spin around in circles screaming

I engage and get shot down. I always got shot down. Since my account lapsed Everyone's kill ratios has dropped.
I once caught a Tiffie like that. 4ACES? was flying it and not paying attention so I caught him cold. I screamed down, missed him and overshot. I zoomed trying to escape. He pulled up fired a few shells and I was toast.  I don't even think he had to turn.  The last time I was killed it was by a C47. But I gave him a fright!

What exactly IS a "single low con"?

I'm not sure I've seen one of those in the last year.

Yeah, did that to a 110 today at A62. I hit 590 in my dora and it was shudderin pretty bad. I managed to pull up, well, kind of. Wing tips ripped off. But who needs them, I'm faster without em' anyway.

[Roscoroo]

Make him beg for mercy ....... then wait til he gets to his buddies (so you have more of them to kill )
