LOL, not EXACTLY!

noodle envy:  May be able to get a funky looking implant to help, but genetics don't leave much hope.
So, no matter how much you want it, bigger is not gonna happen.

Pony envy: Anyone can climb for an hour in a Pony and get above the crowd.  Then take advantage of the smoking wreaks that try to get out of a well fought battle.

Hell, every time I see a "Pony Addict" in another plane, they get killed.
Is that because they can't figure out how to fly with obscured vision, low E, and increased need for SA?

I don't mean to say that the P51 is Uber, because it's not.  I do mean to say that there are a few pilots among us who have limited potential and can't/won't extend their ability into areas where they can not immediately dominate.

toad.. I don't want a seperate late war arena.. just an "area" within the arena for late war planes.   same for early and mid war.   U would be able to engage like minded types who didn't mind all of the organization and climbing before the fight started.   If you spot what looks like a fun fight in another "area" you could go up there... just not in a 51.   Fair enough eh?  Every plane available all the time in one arena.

Mr. Viper.....

One of lifes saddest happenings is when a grown man kids himself.

Stop kiddin yourself...Ive killed ya 5 times in my Pony all at low alt...you got me once in a plane I had never flown before.

You must have us confused with other 51's...I realize that seeing 51's must evoke fear in that little thumper of yours...I mean seriously, to know that your going to get shot down and not be able to do anything about it must suck :D

Laz, I understand what you're saying.

I doubt HTC will alter the MA, however. It's running pretty well and pretty full.

We _might_ be able to get them to offer your setup in an alternate arena to give your idea a try and see what response it generates. Until it's available, we'll never know.

I think the current CT has had enough of a chance. Time to "rotate" ideas and see if yours is popular.

But thanks for the enlightenment on yer anatomical interpetations.

Why not tell the truth Rude? I forced you to fly the 4-letter-word HOG in a mission.   :D

Seriously, it was me that caused that furball by A8, along with the rest of the 13th TAS that got our butts handed back to us (not all of us mind you, but a few were killed upon arrival).  Not exactly sure why the F4U-4 is worth 60 perkies when the F4U-C is a much better version for only 8.

LMAO...not able to do anything about it. You should change your handle to Clown, cause your so funny!
Most of "where" I fly is usualy crowded and more often than not, I am out numbered.  Yet I have a positive k/d that shows I do know how to do something about it.
I just don't fly in 1 plane trying to perfect my roadkill eating skills. :0

You don't even realize how nicely this reinforces my point.
You CAN'T fly anything else.
I (and many others) on the other hand, could tool around above everyone for hours every tour and rack up a 40:1 k/d.
But why? So that a bunch of better pilots can call me a monkey?  So that I can be bored out of my mind?

toad... seperate arenas don't work.  if an 'area' arena proved to have such overwhelming support that it became popular then it would soon make the current arena obsolete.   Seems there can be only one.  

I would be happy right now with a very early war area in the current MA.   I could be wrong on this but I think that the current MA would be even more full with the fun of an early war "area" and it wouldn't hurt the arena or any style of play in the least... well... unless everoyne wanted to be in the early war area but that is doubtful..  What might hurt 51 guys is when they open up the late war area.

Mr. Viper.....

Just accept the fact that you are outclassed...life will be much more bearable I assure you.

Ya see, I've been shootin down mouthy guys like you for years and the brutal truth of it all is this...your just jealous :)

Walkin around yappin and bein jealous is a bad thing...accepting who ya are and livin with it is a good thing.

Everything will be ok  :p

Perhaps it hasn't occured to you that he may not like to fly anything else?
I've flown just about every kite in the set at one time or another but I keep coming to the Pony.  For whatever reason I'm better in the Pony than any other kite in the set.

But tell ya what: next time I'll be in the same area you're in I'll strap on something I'm not familiar with to give ya even odds.  Since you're obviously whining about being a 'jack of all kites and master of none'   :D

<scratches head>

Let's see,

Flying a pony at it's optimal alt using the planes advantages to stay alive and get kills is considered kewel 'cause it's what the plane does well...BUT

Flying an La7 at it's optimal alt and using the planes advantages to stay alive and get kills is dweebish....

<scratches head again>

This just don't add up!

LMAO ! ! !


Reallllllyyy Laughing my bellybutton off!!!!!!

Oh my GOD!  You are SOOO disillusioned!!!

You have been "shootin down mouthy guys like me for years?" LMAO!

I didn't say you couldn't shoot us down!  What I said is that you can't do it in 10 different planes each tour!

BTW, I have been shooting down guys for years too. Occasionaly, I have even climed into the Stratosphere and shot down monkeys like you!

Outclassed?  GOOD!  I don't prefer to be in a small minded, holier than thou, alt monkey class! And in case you think you are elite, your right...not many people care to be so stuffy and boring.  :D

Jealous?  NOT ON YOUR LIFE!  I know who I am, what I am, and use it better than you ever could!  Proof is in the variety of planes in which I have a good/great K/D ratio.

I dare you to fly 4 planes other than the P51 next tour, and not fly the P51 at all.
Think of it as possible enlightenment.  ;)
