Where did you get that 185 lbs number from anyway?

Four .50 cal M2 = 255 lbs
Six .50 cal M2 = 382 lbs
Four 20mm Hispano II = 440 lbs

So there's a whopping 58 lbs difference in gun weight between the typical six machine gun US configuration and a four cannon version.
Where did you get that 185 lbs number from anyway?
simple mathematics 440-255=185 im pretty sure. so if you add your new 20lbs it'd be 205 from the 4 gun .50 cal to the 4 gun cannon

My comment about your skill level has nothing to do with your score, I have no idea what your score or stats are.  I can tell that you lack absolutely any skill at flying and fighting by your pathetic whines to perk the Spitfire Mk XVI.  As I said earlier in this thread, those that want it perked do so because they lack the necessary skill to fight against one. 


As I stated already, I don't need to look at your stats to know that you can't fly or fight worth a damn.


The P-51H never saw combat, it was deployed to some operational squadrons but arrived too late to take part in any combat.  That means it never fired a shot in anger towards any enemy aircraft, in fact it never encountered an enemy aircraft.  I suggest you do some reading on the history of the P-51H.  Now I have to tell Mensa that she's not going to have a date for her prom because you utterly failed to prove the P-51H saw any combat.  It also seems that you won't have three free months of AH.  Pity.

Read the first few pages of this thread and you'll see how myself and others have shown you to be incorrect again.  Are you smart enough to notice a pattern forming?  I guess not, othewise you wouldn't be claiming the stuff you do as fact.

If you like, you and I can arrange a little play date in the DA...that is if you have the testical fortitude to face me in the DA.

I've challenged alot of people to 1v1 and what do I get " No show" as they are either afraid or say that they can't to due to stupid reasons. There's also those people I challenge and say that they don't need to waste there time on me even those they're one of those stupid alt suckers and go up to 20K, come down to pick and go back up, until they finally show up, I beat them 3 rounds straight and then have nothing to say. If you fly DA alot you would know who I'm talking about.

Ok. I thought you meant 185 lbs of ammo.

So I guess this your way of saying "No"?

In other words, you're not willing to test yourself against Ack-Ack and are using other people's past no shows as an excuse while ignoring his recent, humorous duels in which he showed up as he said he would.

Just to be clear.
