I'm a wee bit ticked.........

[Masherbrum]

Let me explain to you again what happened last night since you were preoccupied with your endless loops to see.  You are chasing Horrido1 in a 190D9 in your Spit1...I engage.  Nothing wrong so far?  Or should I have just let you two be, even though it clearly wasn't a fight and he was extending away handily?  Anyways, I engage in a 152, we start fighting.  Horrido comes back in after we are engaged.  The endless loops ensue and you begin to get the advantage on me.  I get guns on you once on a 1/4-1/3ish Shot as you fly 200 yds underneath me, barely clip your wing.  Shamus and another ally decide that the 2v1 on a spit1 isn't enough and dive into the fight also.  Eventually you succumb to the gangbang and start whining at me on 200 that I'm a HOing gangbanger. 

So lets recap: I was the first enemy in on you, I took a 1/4-1/3ish shot on a spit1 (probably the best shot i was going to get in an endless looping battle in a 152) and then more allies jumped in and killed you.  Maybe you should have griped at the 4th and 5th guys in and not the player that initially engaged you. 

And your head on definition might be a little stingy.

The only recap is that I enjoy the fact that some on this Board don't "practice what they preach to others."

Heh, well I try my best to keep gameplay fair and sometimes it doesn't happen as situations aren't always cut and dry, but for the most part it stays fair from my end.

She's not too bad of a plane. Took her up in the DA because of the upcoming FSO (wanted a check flight as I'm planning to request Allies) and bagged three before I got cherry-picked by a 4-Hog.

Rate of climb actually isn't that abysmal, about in the same category as the F4U-1. She dives well and can pick up a pretty good head of steam going downhill, and is fairly maneuverable. Canopy is heavily framed, but otherwise has a great view over the nose so deflection shooting is fairly easy. I'd say her speed, limited ammo and marginal high-altitude performance are her biggest flaws.

Isn't she beautiful. Especially stall fighting and turning at 100 mph. Yes she has her limits but she's not a piece of crap!

The P40 is one of my favorite planes. And I've killed alot of spixteens and La7s with it in the past. But overall it just can't hang with a K4,G14,51,38,LA,Niki......If the pilots are of equal skill level. With that being said I think alot of folks underestimate it and let their guard down thinking they have a easy kill. Then all of the sudden it's on their 6 and they get sent to the tower.

I always orbit if somebody's having a one on one. If the teamate wins, I go "way to go". If he dies, I say "I'm going to be his next kill, you just wait and see".

Don't think we didn't catch that sir.........................

In the last 3 months I've had one, two, maybe three good fights, 2 of them, with a Drunken Monkey it was.......

Its nearly impossible to find a good clean (read: FUN) fight in the MA. 

They seem to me to be one of the more respectable enemies out there...

Anything for a base take except actually working for it. 

Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!  Announcing another famous misquote from THE BRONK.

Yes, I'd would have killed them both with in short order

Then why that P-40 exercise in the first place if you do not like to get shot down in that manner?
Do you really think you should get any sort of special treatment when you are flying a plane with less than average capabillities?

I don't know. Guess I expect a flight sim instead of a xbox arcade game.

Im betting that most of the newer gamers are more used to the xbox arcade type action game than they are with "sims". Maybe they saw an ad or maybe they just googled for "free game/trial" or whatever and decided to dl and play. I doubt many of them went out and googled for this particular type of game just because they are interested in ww2 aircraft and combat.

First time I played AH was during the AH days; prior to AH2.  First time I died was turning to engage with someone, finding myself HO and slow at a capped base (didn't even know what capping was then), shooting him down to be killed by someone else.

Second time I played AH2 for a while, about 2.5 years ago.  First time I died in that one was upping from a capped base, turning to avoid strafing planes, winding up HO with another one, killing it just to be shot down by someone else.

This time I started about 5 months ago.  First time I died was avoiding a higher plane diving from me, winding up HO with his buddy, shooting him down to be shot down by someone else.

Some things never change, regardless of our memories of better times.

I laugh sometimes about players' interpretation of a HO though.  I'm still waiting for the whining on 200 that I HO'd their tank after someone is shooting at me and I turn my heaviest armor to them and beat them to the killing blow.    Most of the "He HO'd me" aren't any such thing, its simply situation caused by many other factors including the rest of the planes in the area.

As far as going 1 vs 2 and expecting the 2nd plane to stay out of it just because you were flying a weaker plane, sorry that cracks me up

Why does the  guy who picks a challenging plane, wades into bad sa/numbers situations without wingmen and dies quickly accuse the others of playing it like an arcade game????  Your method of playing actually seems more like what i do when i play a first person shooter because i want action and to kill a bunch of folks.  Its just that AI lets you kill them when they shouldn't and in AH you have to actually setup your situation...

There is a DA for arranged 1v1's....
There is MW/EW for smaller number engagements....
There is a furball area in the DA if you want quicky fights...

I'm guessing the reason you are flying the MA is for some sort of recognition...if we make you a plaque that says you are uber will you stop starting a new thread about yourself every 2 days???  Just curious....

I cant agree with you more, even though they have not been singled out publicly, we all know who they are without having to embarrass them any further, it has ruined their credibility.  
To see them continually complain here on the BBS and then do the exact same thing they complain of just continues to tarnish anything they have remaining.  
Rather sad, but makes for pure entertainment while they try to justify their complaint.

Bronk, with 7156 and counting, your probably on the Top of the list.  Nobody can be the best at wine making but cork soaking has been your expertise as you have proven to be.
