LOL...

1) WW is an exceptionally good stick
2) 1 on 1 the A-20 is perfectly capable of defeating anything it runs into

I dont have the ability to run those kinds of streaks in any plane but I can pull of an exceptional sortie or two from time to time. My best in the A-20 (all air to air) is 11 landed/14 KIA and I've run streaks of 25+ a half dozen times in the A-20 (multiple hops).

I remember fighting your a20 once.  I had some E over you and it took me what seemed like 10 minutes to kill  you. Was funny. a guy was closer to you than me.. he said "I'll get the a20" You were the only con in the area so I turned towards you as well, at icon range. Before I got halfway there, you had dispatched the guy to the tower.  I can't help but chuckle when I think of that guy, sitting in the tower and scratching his head, "Wha?"

The Havoc along with the B25H are two that definetly can give you a rude shock with a capable stick at the controls. Had it happen more than once  :O

I wouldn't compete. If I started a long streak I would be more inclined to try to survive rather than kill bad guys and have fun. The times I have run off a streak have been by chance, not design.  Good luck to everyone who tries!   :aok

Ditto on the by chance.

Here's an idea. Lets post who has the longest streak and go hunt that picker down.  :rofl :rofl

I've never once felt that I needed to hide behind the plane I happened to choose. More often then not the guy who kills me one on one is a good stick...regardless of our respective planes. Your as likely to stomp on my butt pony to pony as pony vs A-20. In fact there are times I feel I have a better chance in an A-20 against someone like you since its hard to really know the limits on the A-20 if you dont know who's driving it. Sometimes one or the other has the initiative and there for some measure of control...but its rare for a good stick to be defeated by a single combination or snapshot (it does of course happen) even when engaging from a disadvantage...most of the time a good stick will put up a good fight and force an endgame of some kind before going down.

Most guys still see the A-20 as a target instead of a threat, if an A-20 is in a +E/+alt state relative to a con its a chainsaw attack waiting to happen :D :salute

You mean I cleared his 6?  Picked?   Bah!     :lol

That's something to love about this game.  One minute you are dictating the fight, the next some guys come in, take initiative from you, and you are defensive. You struggle to get the upper hand, fighting from a disadvantage.  If you win, it's thrilling and quite satisfying.  If you lose, you probably still had fun. Ch 200 whines are optional.


There is a difference between clearing someones six and jumping in on a 1v1 for a pick. Both of course have in common that your getting an easy kill, given slightly harder then a vulch but not much. Big messy furball and your clearing someones six fair enough, coming across a 1v1 and you drop in for a easy pick is cheap. Especially if you have a rough idea who the con is, and that happens a lot when flying off peek.

If it's a known pilot I even let them rtb if they are on the deck and low on E simply because I have no interest in a easy kill on someone I know. Now if I see a certain Pony around I won't, simply because I still owe you for the cheap pick you did on me few days back when I was mixed up vs four and had just killed the 2nd con.  :D

I'm sure it wasn't a 1v1 when I killed BE. It was probably with multiple planes from both sides. If it's 1v1, I will ask my teammate if he needs help before entering.

Was I one of the 4? Usually, I'll not bother if there is already a pile on a single guy. In fact I usually taunt them on range vox.  Something like:
"Hey, there's 6 of you on that smoking corsair with the missing wingtip.  Do you guys think you can handle him?"   :lol

Or was it that time that it looked like they were never going to kill you?

I'll always let a friend rtb if they call bingo.  If they don't call but it's obvious they are leaving, I'll ask on 200.  No response, I'll probably run them down.

As for picking me. Well I deserve it.  In a furball I'll take the biggest threat and kill it.  If I miss I usually have a second or third plane in mind as an alternate target. This means people get picked, although I never understood why killin anyone in a furball could be considered picking... it's a furball.  :aok

Yes one of the four but came in late, though it was never more then vs 3 as the P38 never dropped in to engage just kept my SA busy so credit to Anodizer for that.

Heres a link to revive your memory.  :D

Anyway was a fun little furball, and I thought BiPolar handled the P39 well. Enough for me to consider him more of a threat compared to the first Pony which proved his worth on the first pass.  :lol

If you make a statement like "i picked him like the twit i was back then (before i was a muppet)" you have to expect someone to take a easy shot and make a joke of it. Hence the :D at the end of my statement.

If they pick you go back hunting them and return the favor.  I like getting <S>'s from people I do that to, the ones that bug me are the ones who get upset on 200 that I picked them.  IRONY!

Nope, it was 1 on 1 although I had the equipment advantage (although I don't remember specifically what the other guy was flying).

Like I said, it was my own fault for ignoring you.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
