DA is for 1 on 1's
MA anything goes.

Thats how it is, I feel your pain :)

Disagree, plenty of good 1v1 to be had in the MA, you just need to know where and who to hunt.

DA is like going to the range. Fun to go shooting, but a staged,predictable environment with rules where you can practice with no effect.

MA is for stalking and killing in a completely unpredictable environment.

Well the other day a base of ours was being furballed.  I upped a P40 and got 4 kills from BnZers running out of speed attempting to get too many kills in one pass :rock  To me that was a fun fight as I am still a newb.  Im not sure what one means by a fun fight.  Every time I get with someone who wants a fun fight they are usually so much better than me, all I do is die.  So not too much fun.  Maybe the BnZrs etc are newbs tired of getting their butts handed to them?

I dont think of your post as a  :cry at all.  I think you have a great point.

A FEW PROBABLY ARE, but there's more than a few veterans of the sim that do this too......some to pad their egos, and some to gain immersion into the survival of the fights, as the real aces did in ww2....

ok..the majority of the time, IF i find someone that'll actually fight 1-1(unlke the running FW the other night, or the running mossie last week) we get to turning and burning, and next thing we know, there's a bunch either from my side, or from his side comming in supersonic to kill ONE lous aircraft. it's like they're racing to see who cvan steal the kill first.(i think it'd be fun to turn off killshooter for this, as there's a few i'd just open up on for getting in the way of a good fight..as im sure quite a few of you would too)

If there is one con that has several on him chances are he is probably a noob and not worth the E and time in the first place, so why bother with him? Let the newbies and score tards on your side take him down while you head out to find bigger prey.

As for killshooter.. Get in close,take your time and take the shot. Killshooter isn't a issue.

hey,
i think you missed my point.....i don't drop into the 5 vs 1 unless the 1 is a friendly. i meant that I'M the one in a 1-1 or a 1-2, and next i know theres a bunch of cons racing in fast enough to outrun a blackbird...sometimes it's friendlies......which i guess is better thanif it were badguys.....but sometimes it's badguys too........either way, they could've gone somewhere else and found their fight...me...if the fight's down there at 1 or 2k alt, and i'm at 5 or 6, a bunch of friendlies n the poor lone badguy.......i keep going, as it's a waste of my time....
