Moot you continue to miss the point entirely....
I've never said that I can beat you or anyone else in the A-20 (or in any plane). What I have said is that I can fight the A-20 competatively vs any plane or pilot and doent feel that the A-20 limits my ability to win a fight. I've said that I've never lost a "1 on 1" in the MA to a mossie or 110 in the A-20 yet. I've used the "P-38 lite" as an attempt to decribe how I feel about the FM and the way I try and fly the plane...nothing more.
For some reason you feel the need to blow this into a bigger thing then it is. When you came on 200 initially I told you I'd love to fly a few. To the best of my knowledge the DA doent have the A-20 enabled (I've never found it) {is there a bomber part?}. My problem right now is that for me this is a "fun issue" and your making it something else entirely. My whole initial purpose in flying the A-20 is because it's a challenge...more so then the mossie or 110 by a pretty big margin. As I fooled with it I found that an awful lot of the stuff I taught here as a trainer was applicable in the A-20. Sound basic fundemental flying will allow the A-20 to compete with any of the fighters in the game. As Bat said I've posted a bunch of stuff that shows the A-20 (win and lose) vs a variety or planes and pilots. Primarily as an aid to guys that are at the beginning of the learning curve and view the game as a fight between two planes, not two pilots.
I fly the Mossie also (I landed two 8 kill sorties yesterday), no question its an easier plane to fly, and given that its inherently faster, climbs better and has 4 x 20mm in the nose I've got no doubt you or any other guy can grab the high ground (DA or MA) and dictate the fight. Slap said it best, you treat the A-20 like a zeke. In a theoretical world the mossie should never lose a fight to the A-20 if it starts from nuetral ground...
Going back to our fight in the MA....that wasnt an even fight. You didnt ask if it was me, you didnt give me an "even start". I've had all kind of guys look me up in the MA in the A-20, and have had numerous great fights...win or lose. I've also had numerous "aces" lose to me in "there ride" (1 on 1) and then come hunt me down in a spit16 or la-7 (sometimes they lost that one also:))...
You had or didnt have a shot, if you did you missed it, or only fired .303's so be it. I hit 3 or 4 planes yesterday in the mossie that didnt go down. I hit an A-20 4 times and it was flying. I hit a B-25 4 times, popped a pony right in the engine, cockpit and took the radiator, engine oil and didnt even get the kill when another guy finished him. Landing a hit wouldnt have ended that fight for sure since you did not have a tracking shot.
The simple reality is this, we are apparently completely different people. Your "daz skillz" and I just like to have fun. If it had been me in the A-20 over you i'd have buzzed over the mossie asked if it was you and dragged us off a bit waited for you to get to speed at 5k and gone to a guns cold merge with a 2k max extension (if you agreed)...
Like I said I'm not to hard to find, I'm in the DA often enough and you had no problem finding me in the MA. My question in all this is what your actually trying to prove? Your earlier comments made it sound like you could easily outfly the A-20 (this is plane to plane not you vs me) in stall, semi stall and T&B end game situations. I think that the film shows the A-20 is more capable then you gave it credit for regardless of the outcome of the particular fight.
When it was over I saluted you on 200 for a fun well flown fight that could have gone either way. Why make it more then that?
