There's alot of really good players out there you never hear about either.
wETRAT is vicious in a 109. He takes me to school in FT pretty consistently. I rarely get angles, and when I do, that 109 just shrugs off my la5's cannons while he works on the reversal. I have to find him again and record a video. I've been shot down so many times by him lately, I'm suprised when it's *not* him getting the kill. He must have it out for me or something, everytime I make my 4th kill, here comes that (*&!@# 109 again.
I've been lucky enough to have some pretty wild fights in the last year or so. Fought Yucca for a few minutes, through 3 reversals, finally getting beat in the vertical on my first SpitXVI flight. Fought Blukitty's pony for a few minutes in a 47D40, won back the advantage after a series of rolling scissors, to completely lose it all departing when I got excited and used full deflection pulling for a gun solution. Took 2 of us 3 planes and 7 minutes to shoot down Greebo using drag tactics. I've had Pellik make shots on me in his 38 that I still consider very improbbable (I can't do it with any sort of regularity).
Then there's the bomber guys who have been at it for years. It's hard to come out unscathed after making passes on their formation.
Finally, there's a bunch of guys like the 69th Hanger Bangers.. only way I'll fight their GV's is with 1000 pound bombs. I don't want any part of Loony, TalonX, or Puckhead when they're in a Tiger.
