I wasn't trying to say whether DA has practical base of flying scenarios compared to the MA, nor or was I trying to say that it wasn't.
I think there is alot to learn in the DA, I have one of my squadies go there with me regularly to help me learn some fighting techniques that I can hopefully bring to the table in the MA. It's tough to learn specific combinations, angles, and E-applications when you got someone always flying through for the cherry pick. Now learning how to execute them once you understand them with the cherry pickers on the prowel etc... can only be learned in one place the MA.
What I was trying to point out, there is always someone challenging guys to DA over someone losing a HO, Vulch, etc... It's usually some above average fighter who was dumb enough to go into an HO, or up on a capped field, etc... with some below average fighter. Above average fighter gets pissed off they died and need to go on emergency ego repair ASAP. Call that lesser guy out and make your revenge in the DA, which no one gives a crap about cause it happens 20 times a day.
It's getting old obviously we have alot of guys who don't seem to understand what being a good sport is. As Loony stated on the 200 channel not too long ago "there's is no honor in here". It's like frickin highschool all over again, the best athletes (good sticks) in the game abuse there position as looked up to individuals, and the non-athletic types (bad sticks) run there mouth cause they know you can't do anything about it. Just seems so......... lame.
Although my suggestion was funny I know it would be hard to inforce. But that's the type of midset that would straighten out alot of idiots. Everyone wants to run there mouth until it costs them something, gettin butt physically kicked is usually top of the list (not practical), $$$$$MONEY$$$$$ close second, almost practical.
I feel if there was something tangible & real on the line, people not only would be less inclined to run there mouths. But it would mean something if you won. Of course then again that is still based on the concept that the players in here have an ounce of SHAME.
Example: It would be alot harder for Chi to continue runnin his mouth about how I'm a dweeb, dweebit, dweebor, or whatever version of his extended vocabulary of dweeb he wants to use, when he's payin for me to play.
For I could drop 50 bombs on his head, or blow up his tigers 10 times in a row with my panzer and he still keeps runnin his mouth. But if he was payin for my account I bet he would shud up........
I don't know if I believe this little kids keep wanting to challenge me to DA crap that Chi is spillin. Matter of fact I don't give any weight to anything Chi says, someone who runs there mouth that much on the 200 channel, especially to the extreme he does. Will and in Chi's case already has, lost all respect from most if not the majority of the other players in the game.
I used SHawk as an example cause I haven't ever seen him turn someone down for the DA, and he is a good stick in all aspects of the game. I'm not saying he's the BEST I'm saying you gonna have to earn it to get him. No matter what you guys want to play him as he is a top stick in the game, if he wasn't he wouldn't be able to hold the spot as long as he has. Gaming the game and dweebery might get you to the top in Bombers but it will only get you so far in the fighter mode. If you disagree dethrone him, others wise it's pretty safe to say you can't. Please keep the "I could but I don't want to" comments, It's like voting if you don't participate then you don't have an oppinion. Saying I am #1 in the game is a little different and commands respect , then saying I could be if I wanted too, ya and if uncle Rico could go back in time he would of took state, and gone Pro.
