Sounds like that Trggr guy that is in TAS.  I remember him posting in the forums not to long ago how there were only 15 people in the game that could shoot him down.

Ooooo did I make the list? :lol

Was just in the DA a few hours ago...had some nice 4 v 1's. Some nice guys in there, clearing my 12, shooting that 1 winged, no tailed plane I just hit just to make sure its no longer a threat. Listening to some guy named "fang" rant on about how his DA score is better then mine etc..

had a blast. :aok

there's score in the DA now? last i was in there was pretty close to a year.....but i don't recall any actual score going on?

I do get frustrated in the DA because of the caliber of players there.  I do run into some good fights, but here of late, I get HOed.  So, my simple solution to that is to announce on the "all" channel that I will be HOing and up a 110 :).  The funny thing is, people still try to HO me  :huh.  Ok, it is their cartoon plane...

sooooooo....what you're sayin, is that the DA is now just like the MA.  :D

I don't think there's a rank but if you right click people you can see their stats. Apparantly the stats mean something to the furball frequenters.

The stats do matter, rumble.  Clearly i'm a noob because i have less than 200 kills in the DA, in comparison to someone who has more than 1200.  Trying to reason with people in the DA that number of kills doesn't neccessarily indicate someone's skill is nigh impossible.  I didn't even attempt to explain that rank doesn't neccessarily equate to someone's ability.

That is what I meant. I cant believe people actually place value on stats in the DA! Must be those hovering the lake in 15k temps.

wow....that's just sad. when i was in the HG, sometimes we just went in there to fight each other, and have fun. i think the satans playmates do that now, although i'm not on enough to know for sure.

 quite often now, when i do have time to get on, i tend to not log in, 'cause i'm just tired of the hotards, and lack of fights.............although the TA was fun last week......

Wait, how many fighters can get up there and shoot the dweeb down?  The twit bomber could never make a 2nd pass. 

I just don't agree with eliminating the bomber from the DA.  There are guys that are not dweebs but don't let 1 dude ruin it for someone else.

I'm in California so I am a bit touchy about nanny-laws as we call them.  1 thing goes wrong; law passes and restricts freedom for others. 

I mean this with respect to you sir.  :salute

I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here, but what's the point of a bomber section in the DA? 

"I'm the best bomber around."
"Ok, let's DA and prove it."

  If this clown thinks the DA is "the game"................

He challenged me shortly afterwards and found out that he was wrong, there is at least 16 that can whip his arse.  :D

You should read my post again in the proper context.  I was replying to someone that was pleading for HiTech not to ruin by removing the bombers.  I was pointing out that it's not HiTech that is ruining the fun.
