yanno kweassa, as much as i've ragged on you over the years about your WOTs - you're a pretty good writer.
i'd have gone with "any given sunday."
but as to this....
....whom they'd dearly love to spank around, but cannot, due to the fact that those dang Hoers and runners are usually in superior planes and runs away a lot. Upping something like a La-7 of their own, is like a signing a confession that they can't catch these runners and HOers despite their pilot skill.. so they can't do anything about it. Instead, they choose to downplay the situation at hand, profess that flying La-7s are no fun, and start a campaign on how newbies should stay away from superplanes and "learn" more ACM from them - by fighting to the death every time, and becomming cannon-fodder all the time. Right this way n00bs - come and get shot down by me all the time, and you'll learn something!i have fun in the La7 doing precisely that, and not just in running down n00bz...
i also think there's a fair number of so-called vets who don't mind being in disadvantageous situation as long as that uber plane doesn't simply just run away or repeatedly joust. not all fights have to be TnB style. E-fighting is just as fun, and, for me, BnZ less so.
