LoL, Ted, thanks for your respect. And i dont think the Hurri1 belongs solely to the SEA/AAA. It can hold its candle in the Main as well. Even me managed a K/D of 1.4 in it.... and im sure a better pilot can do a lot more in it.
As for climbing while the Yak was on its 'short extensions' (at no point in this fight was he running, he was just smart enough to stay outta range of my 303s), it wouldve slowed me considerably and left me vulnerable, i guess had Dano seen that hed have immediatly reversed and blasted me. I needed a minimum speed to keep my maneuverability.
And btw, i dont really consider my flying defensive, i was actively giving him my six, trying to sucker him close enough into my gun range to get a shot. Unfortunatly, i kept missing my resulting chances at gun solution.
