I go to the DA to warm up before logging into the MA. It's good for that if nothing else. I've had some fun in there but it's not a place where I want to hang out. Just seems too much like a live fire training arena to me.

Last week or so i've been endearing myself to the DA regulars.   There is usually two ways things end up going after awhile.  You find some new friends who enjoy the fights and give a hearty  :salute    nrshida, tndep, sads etc.  Then there are the love muffines who will mouth off, fly into the fight twice as fast as they did before and get killed again  :furious  :mad: and log off.

Have to say I agree with Batfink's sentiments.  The DA is what you make of it.  Don't pretend your going to get perfect Dueling conditions in the FURBALL lake, expect to get ganged and don't think it is going to be any different than the MA.  Grow some.

I lately found that some of the best fights are when you get alot of people on a channel(250 :D ) and have just a free for all, NO Hos, 1v1s, stay away from planes that are at the extremes of the fighter spectrum(a6ms-Tempests are frowned upon). Really fun even if you have to here Dodger complain when Krupnski ups a 110  :devil :salute

The DA is mostly full of noobs flying perk planes they can afford in the MA in F-3 Mode spraying the sky with cannon like a garden hose. Some guys shoot people on the runway. I don't know what they learn from any of this but it is their $14.95. There are some good guys in the DA but the the others is more than enough to keep me out of the DA except to work on planes I don't fly much. Early morning hours are the best time to go there.

Isn't the reason for having a perk system to maintain balance in the arenas?   Isn't there need for balance so that the overall experience for the majority of the players is better?  If this is the logic in the MA then why not the DA?  It just doesn't make sense. 

Of course, I realize that if you take the perk rides out you will still have the same problems just in other planes. That is not my point. My point is that the logic is not consistent between arenas and that has an enabling effect on the tardlets.

Fun fights Bruv I remember you landing 14 victories <S> Glad to see you in there and ya I hate the high temps and 51's base hugging but there just looking for someone to climb and stall so I don't mess with them.  I think it's funny to let them dive and get 1k out before I break, they thought it was going to be a easy kill.  But for the most part the DA is a cool place and some fun fights.  I love a good 1on1 and take a side field any chance I get for me thats what it's all about.  Improving on a daily basis and learning new ACM's to use in 1on1's.  Thanks Bruv I look forward to future fights.

<S> To TnDep, this was the 2nd of 2 1v1s, both were an absolute blast, both of us winning one. ;)
Great fight, sir, here's the film I said I'd put up, along with some teasers. ;)
I do apologize as I started the film after the first pass (a cockpit scraper ;)). But, enjoy.

No offense, but your squad makes up 80% of the people who fly in furball lake. It makes it easier to call people off  :aok
