I don't think we ever had the chance to duel, but I enjoy many fights with 2bighorn (or whatever user name he goes by at the time). If you guys were the problem, you're also the solution. A fair and fun fight with no egos involved. The outcome is never as important as the camaraderie. That is always the best part IMHO. 2bighorn duels with relative noobs and compliments them on their effort, while offering advice. He builds pilots and the community.

He has long since proved that you don't need to be a Trainer or a CM to be a leader in the AH2 community.

My regards,

Agreed! Bighorn is a great teacher and the community would benefit from having more like him.

In reflection, I am sorry I brought this up.  My bad and an apology to all involved who feel slighted.

WOW! just WOW!!!
I couldnt be bothered with reading all.....6 pages so just page 1 and 6.
I will say this (because i can ha ha)
It "used" to be that fight was "on" after the merge IE. ya passed each other and got down to it.
100-200 ft + or - aint gonna  give anybody but levi a advantage.
as for the diving under at the merge well.....that could be open for interpetation. if it was agreed on not to do that then those were the proverbial rules.
I wouldnt considerate cheating but rather pilots perogative and interpetation of the ROE.
Its a fighter pilots nature ( even a toon one) to try to get ANY advantage to win.
 If ya saw him diving especially on the THIRD go around You should have been prepared and counter maneuvering expecting him to do it.
no offense bodhi but you have been douing this long enough and are skilled enough to know you NEVER EVER fight your oponents fight, you make him fight yours.

If im wrong then please correct me but, to me overall you both lost. The GAME is about having fun and to many people of late have really forgotten that.

Bodhi, I don't know if you read my last two posts on this matter, but I too will apologize for over-reacting out here in public.  I really had no idea of the "old" way duels were fought and therefore took you calling me a cheater to heart.  I do not cheat in any way in this game or in any other game I've ver played involving battleing other humans.  I am an ex-athlete and a coach and teach my players to play by the rules.  In this matter, I really didn't understand how precise the merge needed to be and surely didn't understand the co-alt, pass by wingtip to wingtip thingy as I have never been introduced to that way of dueling.  After you said no diving, I truly was trying not to dive or gain any other advantage before we merged.  I, being a hothead at times, came on here at first with a lot of piss and vinegar about the whole situation, but after hearing some other old vets describe what you  were saying, I realised that this must have been some formal set-up for duels before I even knew online flight sims existed.  No hard feelings and I really would like to try those rules in a duel sometime, if not with you then with someone else who duels that way, it sounds interesting and fun!

Golly-gee, why am I always the last person to post on these topics.  

[Hap]

We again merge, and yet AGAIN, he tries to dive under....  I am sick of this so as he passes under, I give him a good squirt.  He gets peeved and basically calls me all sorts of insults and the hoopla....  Meanwhile he is gliding to earth with a dead engine and lotsa parts missing courtesy his redundant cheating[/B]

I did.  I laughed out loud!

Hap, I hope you read the whole thread, I only dove under the first time, anything said other than that, is a lie!  I have all 6 or so films and have and will post them.  I would rather let this one die though as I am giving Bodhi the benefit of the doubt.  I have been playing AH for over 5 years and had literally thousands of duels and not once did anyone ever even mention that you had to fly straight at the guy until u passed wingtip to wingtip at exactly the same altitude.  Out of probably 5000 duels, always the fight started at Icon range and prefered a cold headon pass.  When he said meet at 15k I took as every other 5000 or so duels I had, don't go above 15k and try and be level at 15k until u say in or Icon range.  I had never heard of this type of duel until that night!  I DO NOT HAVE TO CHEAT AT DUELING!!!!

skyrock its been awhile since we dueled,

it was YOU that made me a better stick, with your advice and all...

i really want to go back to DA with you... to test my theory, that since ive dueled you, ive improved 100%

allthough i dueled this guy i cant remember his name but he was awesome and schooled me good.

i wish i could remember his name to give him the kudos he deserves

[Benny Moore]

I won't call you a cheater, honest!  And I don't care how you merge.  You can even try to H.O. me for all I care.
