Why all the whining?
« on: May 27, 2008, 12:55:52 AM »
I know that the gang tard hoardlettes are bad and that it's frustrating to run into them but I've had some of the best one on ones and one on two's of my time flying in these games over the past two to three weeks.

I had a great knock down drag out fight with Saantana this weekend, Spit XVI vs Spit XVI.  <S>.  It was one of those fights that was going on for so long I was almost hoping someone else would come in to break it up.  Sadly, they did (a countryman) after I had him on the run.  Saantana ended up killing my countryman but the intrusion was enough to break my concentration and I stalled into a tree  :furious  [EDIT]  To give you an idea of how long this went on I hit WEP at the biginning of the fight and ran out, then continued without it for another several minutes.  Probably a 7-8 minute fight for an edge.

I've already posted in other threads about my fight with TheForce and my two on one with a couple of Yaks.  These are just a few I've had lately.

What really surprises me are the variety of planes that want to take me on in the Spit XVI I've been flying most of this camp.  Pony's, N1K's, Jugs, F6F's, F4U's, 190's, you name it.  I guess Spit XVI has target written all over it.  And the few that run, great.  Let them run.

There really are a lot of good one on one and one on two's out there.  You just need to know where to look for them I guess.  <S> to all the guys who actually want to fight a good fight.  That's what keeps me coming back.

I thought this was about "whining", which is why I opened it.

I didnt know it was another Eagl "Im the greatest" threads. Which is probably why nobody responded. :lol

We get it already Eagl. You are the Babe Ruth of cartoon pilotry.

In my book it has "uber ride" written all over it. Make the move to the P-40E  :D.

It is about whining.  It's in direct response to crockett's "Why don't we re-name it" thread and all those about runners.  All I said was I still find a lot of good fights in the MA's and I recounted one (which, BTW, I lost).

I don't mean to come off that way, I guess I just get excited after a night/weekend of fun fights, win or lose.  I still get killed a lot and still make too many stupid mistakes (stalls, augers, collisions...) so I'm far from one of the best out there.  I guess those just aren't as memorable as the good fights (particularily if I win :) ).

No problemo. Good 1 on 1s are becoming rare enough to be savored when you have one.

Not every fight is a great one, but I've had a few that were worth the subscription for the month. Twice I've run in to Kermit and Spartin2 and despite having an E advantage each time, I ended up very narrowly dying from their coordinated tactics. Big <S> to those guys and to the late arrivals that turned the tide (1lefty and wolvrine).
