well I guess I'm different then most, when I know there is a good stick on opposite side I want to get into it with them, for there lies the way of uberness  :D

fighting one that can own you over and over, maybe he will be kind enough to tell ya what can be improved in your game :x

About 5 years ago, I fought someone that is renown for being very good,  6 times I tried to kill him each time he handed me my arse, around 4 years later, I met up with him in the MA, I happen to have ALT on him but he has a couple friendlies with him, I killed him and his two buddies I was in a hurri2, so I head for home I look back and see a Hurri2 has rolled after me, I stay on my RTB route till he gets within 2k, we are at equal E-states, I do a shallow split S, and engage him, it was a good fight but he went down, it was same guy, one of the best days in AH for me.

Never back down from a fight NO matter who it is with, best way to improve your game :aok
If I loose, I would like him to give me advice to help me improve my flying. if I shoot him down, Go me. :rock

I agree with ink on this. Look for the guy that's better than you, if you want to get better. Mediocrity only leads to mediocrity that's why you look for people like ack-ack, widewing, or shane too name just a few. Sure you'll end up back in the tower a lot, but it's not like you're really dieing, and you get an unlimited supply of planes for your fifteen dollars a month.

The Impossible Dream
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star


All kidding aside, my challenge is not meant to be a 'schooling session' or otherwise embarrass you in anyway.  My intent, through an bellybutton kicking, is intended to show you that 'diving' away is not a proper counter for being bounced by an attacking bandit.  It is intended to show you that you have a choice, you an either tuck tail and dive and try to escape or you can be aggressive and counter the attack and seize the offensive.  Hopefully, if you film the fights, will also give you some idea as to how to fight in a P-38.  Basically, it's the virtual equivelent of throwing someone that doesn't know how to swim in a pool to force them to learn how to swim or sink.

When would be a good time to meet up this weekend and what is the handle you use in game so I can contact you while online?

That is what makes AKAK, well AKAK.  He is a great pilot, and will help the new, younger, and less experienced pilots.  As he hands them their ARSE, and he wont talk smack unless it is talked to him first.
