I know this is a rant.

This thread should go down in silent but... I have to say that nobody dragged vs the Ju, and nobody dived towards it.
In fact, I dived towards my field, and given the short distance between A30 and A27 the n1k was bound to find a new target once it broke off. And wouldnt it have been the n1k, then the n1k, typh or p51 near their field would have blasted his sorry ass.
But to go here and say this, well not at my expense!

Well, yesterday late afternoon, I was in a 51 and had been goon hunting up to 10. Instead I found a B-17 trying to land so naturally, being the cad I am, I waxed it.

I picked up an F4U and another 51 who tried to run me down. Luckily I had saved my wep and managed to beat cheeks to I think 7. Anyway, turns out Fedral had just launched in a C47 to try to take another field. I saw a dot just up but had no idea it was a 47.

In effect, I dragged a C-Hog right to Fedral. As soon as I saw Fedral I advised he run to AAA but it was too late. The hog saw him, left my tail, and took out the 47.

It was completely an accident. But toejam happens. Just a fact of life. On the other hand, I didn't do it on purpose and tried to make passes on the CHog and eventually got some hits before running out of gas.

Can't comment on the events above. If it was running to another target to get the trail to switch, well, then that is truly low. If, however, it was looking for help, or as in my case a con so close on my six that we both saw the 47 (or whatever) about the same time, then it is just the way it goes.

Also, the response given can have a lot to do with the original comments lobbed.

I know what you mean skywalkker.  I and my wingman saw a countryman vs a spit and attempted to help him.  AFTER we had engaged, our countryman had the gall to call out the the spit was "his" and that we shouldn't engage.  I was already damaged and got shot down.  My wingman got the spit.  I logged to go to the SEA.  I guess this guy proceeded to rant and rave at my wingman how our actions were improper.  IMO if you want a 1 v 1, set up an H2H arena.  If I see a red icon, I'm in.

These guys who get all bent out of shape about how other people play just need to take a pill and remember that its a GAME.  If you're not having fun, go do something else.  Me? I'm havin a blast!

Yes Zo he ranted and raved after I had tried to polity tell him I had RW so I don't look at the screen when I'm flying with a wingman I listen for messages on RW and concentrate on the fight. Even at that (like you said) it's MA not H2H 1v1. And here I thought I was helping him. Go figure.
