Flying this weekend, was one of those days were everyone is just about a second ahead of ya in everything. All in all, lets just say I was dieing A LOT
Now while I'm no "lean, mean, killin machine", I can give pretty much everyone a good fight, and thats pretty much all I'm looking for any way.
Yesterday, while defending V6, I was grabbin a bit of alt.... was hopelessly out numbered, but figured alt might help me
I found out a "well known" player was there in the attack. I figured I'd head back and give him a go, maybe I could learn something. We were out numbered 7-2, but I knew what plane he was in (its his favorite), and I was in a like plane so he would be easy to spot.
Getting back over the base.... which they had captured by now, I spot him. He's got the alt advantage, and he knows I'm coming back and in what type of plane. So as I fly along level I'm watching him pass 1000+ feet over head, while an F6 heads strait for me. At this point I'm more worried about the "Pro" flying over head, I "hope" the F6 isn't going to fire on his merge, but being the MA he does, I give him a squirt, with both take hits and are smoking. A second bad guy passes head on, and either doesn't fire, or has his tracers off, either way I don't fire either.
I tell the other friendly in the area that I'm loosing oil from a HO and dive out. From 5k or so to 750 feet off the deck I'm screamin along.... jug dives nice
, the "Pro" follows me. In less than a minute, we are the only ones around. I type out on 200 "was hoping to have a fight but F6 HOed me", and then a bit after, I type "So your not going to let me go huh?". It took this "Pro" another minute and a half to finish me off while I was flying strait and level. Why? because we were in like birds and he was having trouble catching me, he used the last 750 feet of alt to build a bit of speed to then lob shots at me till I took enough damage to go down.
His excuses were many, "I didn't know it was you"," you should have called out","I was busy watching 2 other targets, didn't see your message". All of which is BS, he just wanted a cheap "freebi" of a kill. This guys been flying here forever (you can check his score back to Tour 12), and I believe he use to fly in Air Warrior too. Back in those days if you called "bingo" most guys would break off, say "nice fight", and go there seperate ways with a "I'll get you next time!" and a salute. I guess thats too much to ask these days.
I know, its the time of the "squeeker", and we shouldn't expect much, but this guy is an old "Pro", well known in the community, and I thought, someone with honor, and a little class. Its sad to see how corrupt, how "needy" some of these guys have gotten.
For me, I'll still let a guy go if he calls bingo, unless he turns back on me, I'll still hold my shot when running into a head on merge, till the clown HOs me then he gets it from then on(oh btw, for the F6 that HOed me, a HO is when you make a head on pass WITH guns blazing, its just a merge when you don't fire). I know its "just a game", but I'd still like to see it played with a little class, a little honor. Cheap shots, and gameing the game just pisses people off, and takes away from the fun.
I could name names here, and post the film of this "Pro". Show that when I was typing to him on 200 we were the only ones around, but that just wouldn't be classy, and I have a bit more honor than that.
