Not to worry Steve.  Del and I go bounced by a high Ki-84 yesterday.  He missed on the first pass as we both reacted by turning into it.  While this was going on, a high 51 came into the fight.  I lost a rudder but kept going.  The Ki 84 lost his alt and any advantage and Del killed him while I was following him down.  The 51 ran off.

Immediately the comment came over 200 commenting on how Del and I ganged him.  If a 2 V 2 where the other guys start with the E and the alt, ends up with me being a ganger, I kinda figure the definitions are skewed these days.  Write it off to the summer influx :)

If anyone knows my squad they know when there's one me109 around, there's gona be a few more behind.
Myself, Kill3m, TilDeath, ZooZoo reguarly fly and cover each others 6's, but we do have a rule of thumb, one on one your on your own.
Helps develop fighter tactics and situational awareness. Only time I ever break from this is when I see someone I dont know dogfighting someone
or even two at a time and I ask him for help over vox range, this generally lets me know if he needs help.
I have a few one on ones with betty and others that ended well even with friendlies trying to dive in for the "pick" however
it ruins a good one on one because now the other person is damaged or killed by the sneaky help.
