I do believe that it was a mission to recover some air supremecy at 42. Seems to me youd be worried about 2 high buff hunters and try to stop their endeavors.
Im not saying they were scrared, but I was expecting a full on assault that never materialized. Expecting a 9vs 2 assault, we were doing the right thing, keeping E, boring as it may look. I just couldnt belive that this flight went away, and expressed my amazement with 1hunglo.
I believe we did catch a couple of these guys later in the sortie.
I started Aces High as a bish. First with the 367th (my old WB squad)as piston. Rapidly I became tired of nothing but horde fighting and returned to WB for a stint.
Upon my return to AH I was flying with FATE, and I was told I had to learn how to fight "The Bish Way". I couldnt stand how at least 50% would hold back and not push the fight towards enemy base. I became tired a being one of the only forecheckers out doing the dirty work (ghi was one bish out there forechecking with me, personally I think ghi is a great fighter not scared to take on the tough battles and I ghi as a worthy opponent). So I said the heck with your bish way, Im going rook and have been happy fighting with brave rooks ever since.
It just seems to me that the bish only fight if the horde is in full swing. Call it what you will, flying smart or flying chicken, but I am here to fight and fight I will do. Of course, you can see shades of this with all countries from time to time, but its more predominant with the bish. If "flying the bish way" is what you do then expect to be called chickens. I dont even like going up against bish usually, cuz they dont want to fight that 1v1, instead drag you to the ack or their awaiting 10 guys. Maybe if the bish would grow a pair and not be so scared to lose a silly cartoon plane Id feel differently, but I do not care for how the bish choose to fight.
I did not choose to be included in this post, but I call a spade a spade and thats how I see it.
Ive had some serious fights with 1hunglo in the past, taking more than my share of lumps, but also gettin me some to. I jumped at the chance to fly with him instead of against, even tho im not a K driver, and had a good time. We flew well together setting each other up. man
