That is what i believe is one of the main problems with the MA anymore.It use to be about base capture and winning the war, now it;s about blood thirsty La and spit pilots who feel the will get satisfaction by seeing their wittle name up in lights.Or the score potato who say " lets go too the DA so i can get a lucky deflection on you in my uber late war ride".

But thats just my .02 centz

Agree 100%.

Landing two in an La7 is like taking sand to the beach, nothing special.

I wanna say around February, I was winging with Birdo and we came across two Spits. Birdo ended up getting shot down by Bodhi. Within 10 seconds, Bodhi and Levi were down. I rtb'd. ACM, no HO's, dweeb chit, nada.

I also was in a 5 on 1 in April. I was in a Spit5 and shot down three, and had two other's run. It's still sad that now when this happens, the other's find it necessary to still HO.

What do you think of a P-40E vs. an F4U-1?

Not really a good match up for the DA.

I like to fly the C202 Vs. C202 in the DA and for one reason only.

1.When in the DA it's not about plane skill it's about pilot skill.Your not going in there because the guys plane was talkin smack to you.The majority are all Hardcore about the DA in the la-7 or spit series, but usually clam right up when you say 202's only.AAloki and i always meet up in the MA on channel 217.He fly's rooks i fly bish and we will meet at a certain area in C-202's and it is really a good time.

Karaya, the other day SLAMMERx and myself were in the baltic map near A-22 at 20-K in P-40-E's, you came along in a P-38-L and dove the CV, made slammer over shoot you for a kill.I was so hoping that you would engage when i found out it was you.

Let's fly some pre-44 craft this weekend in the DA. Pick a time 1 vs 1's, 2 vs 2's. Trade some notes, etc. Have a few laughs.

AP, I'll go Hurri 1's, was just starting somewhere and letting you guys/gals hammer out the details. Gotta begin somewhere.

I can make it.

Cheap on my part, perhaps, but I had some very good fights against a very good stick doing so last night. I lost quite a few of them.

First off, where's Lute for this one

Secondly, an awful lot of pilot skill has to do with how well one can handle their plane. Yeah, sure, you know the same manuevers but you may not know the edge a certain plane can ride them on. In that respect, your saying "202's only" really makes you no different then a guy saying "spits only." Wouldn't you say?

I mean, I would not put money on my being able to beat you in anything. But I'd surely be more confident in my ability to give you a more decent run in a Corsair then I could in a 202, or a Spit, for that matter.

HO vs ACM:

HO is part of real life ACM.

If 6 enemies HO at you, that's life.

I don't play to be able to say i am better than others, i play because it's fun.

SpitMKI's yes.Hurri MKI's yes.A lot of people in the DA or the MA rely on Cannons, a 20mm will do more damage than a 12mm will so the out come doesn't take as long.If you don't see what i am getting at Vudak then i guess you never will.I like a Cannon free fight, cannons are a crutch.

And someone go check the temprature in HELL cuz me and karaya are agreeing on something.

I am sorry you are right and I am totally off base and out of line. I apoligize for my harsh statments and regret making them.

Please accept my apologee and try to forgive me. For I am a low life furballer who only flys easy mode spit16s and hands out HO's at every merge.
