DA is good if you ask someone to duel. It's just furball area which could be a heck lot better... if people would just furball it would be excellent. Instead you have pickers who grab up to 15k, or guys who get in zeros and think theyre the watermelon cause no one can turn as well as they cannn.. yehaw,.

Out of boredom and trying to bait a certain EW/MW player **cough*fireplug*cough** to the DA, Bronk and I spent some time in the furball lake.  We had fun chasing down Temps and F4U-4s.  We never really had any "good" fights.  Just Conga lines everywhere you looked.

Point taken, my issue with dweeb lake is the squad mentality and even numbers.  That said there is still  a lot of fun to be had and many great guys in that arena.  Take the lake for what it is.

You complain about A6M's in the DA pond?  I would have thought the prolific number of Spixteens would be a bigger boredom factor.

It's easier for a noob to screw Spixteen than a A6M. Spixteen can't automatically pull the stick back and gain the upper-hand, especially if the throttle is firewalled, can't swap ends and face you from virtually any range.

Just a thought....


Those 10 hours per week might show better results if you flew those 10 Hours in the Training Arena with a skilled Trainer, rather than Furball Lake in the DA.

10 hours against people like TC and Batfinkv is as good as it gets.

 The DA..IS the training arena. Anyone who is half way decent has spent alot of time in a dueling arena at some point. The furball thing isnt what Im talking about. Its dueling people 1 on 1 like TC and Bat that make people improve. Before you know it,3k will be enough altitude and the days of picking and such will be behind you. Wtg.

Nothing more fun than killing temps and 4 hogs in teh furball area. Tis like a fine whine. ;)

Maybe for general MA stuff but if you want to build your fighter skills there's nothing better than to DA 1v1.
