It is so ridiculous to see 5 a/c all firing at the same target--especially when the primary fighter (Guppy, in this case) is already locked into position.

I'm sure my score would be better if I didn't TRY to hold fire when I'm not in the primary position. I'm guessing, though, that our top scorers are willing to fire whenever a target is within 1,000 feet.

Chivalry is so dead today.

In all fairness to the guys around me. We were joking about stealing kills the entire time and having a ball so no one in that picture was doing anything wrong outside of playing along with the joking we were doing. One of the reasons I got the assist, besides my lousy shooting, was that I was laughing so hard knowing the tracers were all good guys trying to get there first

All were very good at clearing bad guys of other guys tails and covering those in trouble. I'd happily dive into a pile of enemy fighters with those guys anytime.

It was about the only decent fight going at that time of the night and thankfully no one had flattened the FHs yet, which had happened not too long earlier at the other decent fight going, effectively killing it.

I roll in to dive to build up steam and get a good position, then pull up into the Spit's 6-low blindspot, ~d800 out. I've got him boresighted and dead to rights, just waiting to get him in convergence, and RIGHT as I hit D400 (my guns are set at 350) and am JUST twitching my finger to fire when some chump starts firing from d1k over my shoulder (so he's almost 2k out from the con!). The Spit breaks and gives up on our friendly, but I lost a perfect kill.

LOL, and you probably never gave the friendly, a check 6 call because you wanted a nice clean shot at the boagy chasin him. What comes around goes around.

Welcome to the MA!!!!!!!

Guppy it looks like a great time.

You "get it" and I salute you for it.

If you get it, it's all fun.

He knows this game is to be taken seriously. We are fighting an important war over our homelands after all. Theres not, under any circumstances, to be any form of fun or joking around! Do not make any friends (youll only see them die) and especially do not pay respect to friends or foe...

>>S<< Dan and the rest of the 80th - had a fun time busting fights with you last night. Im sorry i had to leave you alone in the end, but it was 2am

for me already.

Yep I can usually be found clearing SlapShot's 6 when he is putzing around in Rookland.

WRONG !!! ... it was the mighty "MildCat" that brought the N1K to its demise.

Had a blast that night Dan.

As Dan pointed out, we ALL knew what the game was (kill stealing) during those battles and I too was laughing my bellybutton off watching each guy unload on it's pray hoping to get the explosion before the rest of the crowd swooped in for the steal.

Dan realizes that no matter how many times he gets killed ... there will always be a brand spankin' new plane waiting for him in the hangar ... it may be frustrating at times, but death nevers leads to a meltdown.

He (and I) can get killed 10, 20 times in a row ... not a big deal ... it's that 1 great fight in the 10, 20 times that makes it all worth it and keeps ya comin' back.

Well ... truth be told ... I do that on purpose cause I know you have a hard time getting kills so when I fly around you, I act as bait and drag them by ya hoping you will take advantage of the situation.
