The gangbang'n ho'n tards is just something I was experiencing with the group you were flyin' with. You have no control over what they do, but you do have control with who you fly with.
Your ego seems to be swelling. I don't know why. I'm no trophy wife.
You might want to ease up. No hidden agenda do I have.
Again, Ren.
Kermit,
At what point have you forgottten that when you show up in an area filled with lots of enemy planes that the closest 3-5 guys aren't going to try to get it in? I flew at 11 all night, last night. I also had 3-5 guys on my 6 most of the time. Such is life in the MA. Help comes or it doesn't. I had a laffie I tried to drag away from the fight. As he had some buds with him. Everytime I began to get him away someone else from above would get in. If I turned back I would have had at least 4-5v1 in an instant. I picked up a very fast C205 so I figured I'd drag him along because the laffie was getting off. Another 1/4 mile and it woulda been him and me. He popped my at 800 yds! LOL. Last sat night I swear they were getting in line to come at me. I forced an overshoot and was lining up on him and another was on my 6, I forced an overshoot and was lining up and you guessed it...
You pick your engagements and fly the way you want. I also had alot of 1v1's and lived. Once you chose to fly that way and die it's not cool to complain how or why you got killed since you are the one who chose to engage in the environment.
I've always said and I'll say it again....When I get shot down and I wanna complain I think about what happened then realize I did it to myself cause I got stooopid in the environment I was in. I died because I let it happen. It was my fault, no one elses.
So stand up and take it like a man (errr...did you mention trophy wife? yer not a gurl are ya? Ya know, cept for those weird moments gals are pretty good flyers
) anyway, if you come to the fight and live no matter how the fight progressed it was fun. If you died, was it less fun? If you set up the fight environment, blame yourself, no one else. Also, You'll find I don't spend much time on 200. I'm too busy up fighting and having fun. Other than a Hi to someone on the "other side" folks don't hear much from me.
There's 3 kinds of folks in the MA;
1)Those learning and carry a big red bullseye on thier plane. They do learn but they also jump into an fight they can find. They sometimes kill the guy. They learn as time goes by.
2)Those intermediate flyers that have mastered a turn or two. They are also gonna jump in on every fight they can find and are part of the 10 chasing 1 you see all the time. They are beginning to feel the ecstasy of winning fights and want all the kills they can get, no matter what.
3)The older vets are the last group. They take whatever comes along. They ask if someone wants them in. They don't mind dragging and don't mind getting off to let someone else take the kill. They're content to get up and have fun and watch the fight unfold as it ebbs and flows like the tide. They may jump in to stop a fight so the 10 guys in get their minds back on SA, seeing as how there are another 10 bad dudes coming in overhead. If they dive into a fight as asked they shoot the guy or not. As they leave if another dude shows up in thier sights they shoot him also. After all a target of opportunity is a target of opporttunity. They're not too picky nor demanding. It's all good.
Have fun! Forget about the death. Move on. But no matter what. Have fun! But ease off on the whining.
Ren
