i've only been here a few months, you proposal is no less pointless than mine.

running around challenging people to duels over disagreements on message boards is very much "beating your chest."

anyway you proposed a duel i laid out the conditions, am i to understand that you are now backing out?

Warbirds?   I've never played it and never will.   Since you're stuck at 20k in the Kiddie pool, come talk to me when you want good, clean fights in the DA with NO EGO.   

But, I WILL NOT chase you down to the deck.   I'd rather have that wasted time, brought forth into explaining things afterwards, or put towards additional duels.   

"Beating my chest"?   I haven't even raised a hand yet, let alone an arm.

Anybody remember the AcesHigh vs. Warbirds duel they did 1/2 dozen years ish ago?

Some top sticks on both sides fought over both platforms.

AH guys went/fought at WB and WB players came and fough here @ AH.

Didn't the AH guys win on both sims?

What Thorism fails to "get" is the diff. between a playerbase in the 100's vs. a playerbase in the 1,000's.

You can be the best stick in WarBirds and only be "ok" here in AcesHigh.

Set me up w/ a free 2 week account over at WarBirds Thorism.  I will take two weeks to get used to the game and happily spank you at any alt in any ride.

i would like to test with someone here.

but since i think this is an ego thing for you, and since and per the rules of dueling, i now have the choice of weapons i will be happy to meet you in WB P/D  
in the FW-190a8 full gas tanks dropped at = speed head to head merge at 20k.
no guns till after good merge is agreed and the tanks are dropped.

say 1:45 eastern us?

not that that would prove much other than how well you can take a beating.  although possibly the same relevance as your proposal in regards to this discussion.



Kind of sad accepting his challenge if only it took place in WB, a game he nor anyone else hardly plays but then, I'm not surprised you'd take a chicken watermelon way out.

Well, all I know is he didn't offer the challenge to duel in another game.  You accepting the challenge on the condition that it take place in another game is sad to say the least.  Though, having seen you fly in the MW arena, I understand why you would try and stack things in your favor.

Why not just fight in AH, since this is the venue where the discussion is taking place?

Thorsim, this smacks plainly of your fear of losing here.  It's an alien thought to me, surrendering without putting up any fight.

Your words clearly translate to: I can't win here. I'm not going to try.

? ? ?

Quotes for what?  About P-38 pilots out maneuvering Bf 109s in combat?  I think I already pointed you in the direction of another thread you were whining about the flap in that had an AAR from a P-38 flight that out maneuvered and defeated a numerically superior group of Bf 109s in a low level encounter.  But since that AAR doesn't support your argument, you've dismissed it like anything else that has been shown contrary to what you argue.

Care to post any data that backs up anything you've argued?
