Is it? What do you suppose the other two cons are doing while the E-Fighter is attempting to manuever with the third for a shot? They are degrading his relative energy advantage by alting or building up speed, as is the third guy if he has half a brain with suck-drag evasives. Once 3 more manueverable planes degrade the E of the E-Fighter he's pickled if he doesn't kill them all or disengage.

This is going to come as a HUGE shock to you so brace yourself!


Ready?



You sure?!?















I don't fly to be interesting to other people! I fly in a way I find interesting  to myself! I expect others to do the exact same for themselves. Whining because people won't fight your way is...well.....incredibly ego-centric and stupid...

So what if a guy doesn't want to engage you? Are you so target fixated you can't move along to one of the 50 other guys just waiting to fight? What is this morbid fascination and pre-occupation with what others will or won't do when, if, how, you want them to. Do what you want to do, and if your potential playmate doesn't want to, simple, go find a playmate that will...Half the planes in the air are turnfighters just like you I'm sure the vast majority of them will be more than happy to knife fight in a phone booth with you.

The only difference is I understand why they won't and don't blame them or whine about it.

Zaz I will give you alt and 6 in ur tiff, me in average plane and if its just u and I, I wil drain ur E and kill you!  I think you probably are experiencing self doubt as you read this because you know I probably would kill you.  Take this as a test to your theory of "smart" flying!  Anytime you want to try this just give me a yell.:aok

Cop out!  You fly the tiff because u only get a snap while booming in at 400.  With 4 20mm cannons its ur life saver!

I fly the Typhoon because it has the three qualities I prize most in an Air Superiority Fighter: Speed, Firepower, and Good Nose-Low deflection view. It's all offense baby!

Turning = Defensive Quality
Speed & Firepower = Offensive Quality

If your a pilot that likes the intiative to dictate the terms of fights, speed and firepower is the way to go.

If you want to be a slippery target that can pull some tight turns to try to dodge slashing attacks turnrate is the way to go.

Target fixated? Not in the least.

What is this morbid fascination and pre-occupation with what others will or won't do when, if, how, you want them to.

morbid fascination and pre-occupation? You need to lay off the meds dewd.

Don't go Batfink on me now. We're just having a chat about your "fighting style" lameness. No need to get your panties in a wad. Just admit you suck and blow at the same time and we'll all just move along. No harm no foul. ;)

Really? I can only think of 3 people that fly the Typhoon as their main ride.

I guess if you want to call me timid you can, but I don't think those other two are timid. The Typhoon is not a very popular air superiority plane most just use it to Jabo fields not strictly to fight fighters as I do.
