The DA
« on: August 20, 2010, 10:43:58 AM »
Many thanks to some of the folks in the DA lately.  From some 2-3 v 2-3 action to individual fights, I appreciate the invites.  It is amazing how much more you can learn when you are fighting others who are trying to out maneuver you as opposed to other, say less than savorable flying styles. 

As for the fun factor.... man, nothing, nothing tops out the fun meter more than a SPIT V vs SPIT V fight I had the other am, with all hispanos fired off, allowing just for .303s.  I know many of us have enjoyed that fight that was so balanced that it ends in an auger instead of a kill.

If you like fun fights with just .303's you should try Spit-I or Hurri-I.  They ONLY have .303's and the tendency for the uninitiated to kill the engine in a neg-G maneuver adds to the fun.

True enough.  Was fighting BatfinkV.  If anything had interfered with the engine, the fight may have ended much earlier......   :airplane:

Some of the most fun fights I've ever had were squad brawls where we all upped spit 1's.

Batfink's fun to fly against no matter what he's flying, and his shooting is remarkable.
