Interesting duels to say the least.  Think he learned that diving isn't the best counter.

I went to the DA when this took place and even rode along with Ack-Ack for one of his fights. When I left it was 5-0 Ack-Ack.

I got u once

The only time you got me is when you insisted I fly a D.VII against you in a P-38, in a fight that amounted to you extending d2.0 out and then doing a 180 degree turn and coming back for a head on pass.  Unfortunately, I was not able to roll my World War I plane fast enough to avoid your 2nd or 3rd HO attempt and got hit in the wings and engine.  That was the only time you won.


Film??

Yeah, got about 6 or 7 films that show him diving on merge and either stalling out and crashing because he couldn't keep out of an accelerated stall or my saddling up on his six and shooting individual pieces of his plane before finishing him off.  He even called for me to break off after I saddled up, apparently I wasn't allowed to get on his six because it was unfair.  When I upped a Mossie against his P-51D, he actually told me to dump my ammo into the ground...not just some of it but all of it.  When I refused, he then insisted I not shoot at him.  I finally relented and agreed to dump my ammo but informed him that I will not dump it into the ground but rather will dump it into his plane.

Nor would he follow the agreement of we had established in this thread of co-altitude duels, only for the first few did but then later would come in 5k or more at the merge and HOing each and every time.  

I hope he filmed the fights as well and watches the films so he can see where he lost the fights.  If he can't figure out where he lost it, I'll help out by saying that he lost the fights at the merge.  He insisted on only trying to use a head on merge, firing all the way through.  With the exception of the D.VII fight, his head on merge was easy to avoid and then it was just a matter of doing a basic Immelman Turn to saddle up on his six and get the kill.

Honestly, if he took the time out to read and learn BFM as well as the all important ACM, he has the potential of possibly becoming more than just your average MA cannon fodder but he has to learn to take a critical eye on his flying and see what he is doing wrong instead of trying to orchistrate each fight to ensure he as an advantage.  He isn't always going to run into a D.VII in a P-38J.

He would really benefit from Shaw's book (though he may need to get a little more experience so he could understand the terms in Shaw's book) and from going to Netaces.org and the AH training site.  The first thing he should do is seek out a trainer to get the ball rolling.

LOL the fight I saw he (Ack-Ack) owned you, and probably didn't even have to put down his drink.

Why is it that every time a squeaker gets his head handed to him he has some lame arse excuse?
He out flew you plain and simple. If you would shut your mouth and actually try to learn something maybe, just maybe you might put up a decent fight someday, but I highly doubt it.

Lol, are you serious? I've killed a Spit XIV in a P-40, and thats the most BA spit there is :banana:. They're nothing more than gnats buzzing around unless flown by an ace, or they get you when low and slow.
