Somebody is new or its a shade     :noid

If you're referring to Mojo, he's not new.  Possibly a shade but in any event, a pretty good stick.  Ran into him a few times in the MW arena got had some excellent fights.

example I saw last night.  Two spits were winging...attached every single plane they saw together.   Several cons upped to engage them....spits still had alt...but quickly lost it as they tried to bnz more cons than they could handle.  Spit16 started to head towards his base with me on his long/low 6.  His fellow spit had reversed to clear him...that spit got caught up and drug down with 4 guys on him.  Spit16 I was on...turned...looked at his wingie...turned tail towards base and left the guy.  I follow a long...he never once breaks to engage me about 2-3k back.  Near his base, a ki84 ups and heads towards me....then and only then does the spit16 turn and try to engage me as I avoid the ki84.  That is timid to me.  They both died.  Wonder why...

I'm sorry, I didn't intend on coming off that way, I was just trying to offer how dieing and taking enormous risk can be benifitial rather than detrimental in the long run to ones skills. How being timid does not help you.

Ardy, I completely understand what your doing and I think your going about it the right way, in a short time you will learn so much about fighting your way up rather than creating the habit of avoiding a higher con, its fantastic training.  You may die alot now but it will pay off later big time.  Good for you.  :aok

I realize that now, welcome back Mojo.  See you in the friendly skies.  :airplane:

example I saw last night.  Two spits were winging...attached every single plane they saw together.   Several cons upped to engage them....spits still had alt...but quickly lost it as they tried to bnz more cons than they could handle.  Spit16 started to head towards his base with me on his long/low 6.  His fellow spit had reversed to clear him...that spit got caught up and drug down with 4 guys on him.  Spit16 I was on...turned...looked at his wingie...turned tail towards base and left the guy.  I follow a long...he never once breaks to engage me about 2-3k back.  Near his base, a ki84 ups and heads towards me....then and only then does the spit16 turn and try to engage me as I avoid the ki84.  That is timid to me.  They both died.  Wonder why...

Had I been the spit I would have gave it a try, sounds like at least a 5 on 2, for some wingman pairs thats a fair fight.

It won't. He'll get fatigued, having nightmares at night, maybe even suffering severe mental disorder.
That way he'll possibly end up participating in air races instead of fighting...

You don't know what in game simulated air combat does to you. Statistics do not lie. It's one of the reasons why most of the people in AH avoid fighting if possible. It's not good for you. Not at all.

Long live, Ardy  :salute
