A few things to remember about "The Few," from my limited but painful experience:

You will rarely if ever come across just one of them - they are pack hunters and do not believe in the 'nobility' of a 1v1 fight (if there is such a thing as 'nobility' in a cartoon airplane fight), with very little exception. The kill is of paramount importance, and all of what is needed to make that happen is employed (with the notable exception of the HO shot, you will almost never see a member of this group use that tactic  :salute ). Don't like to be picked or ganged by as many as 5 or 6 to 1? Stay away. There is no such thing as a 1v1. Not gonna get it. It's a feast and you are are the main course, and the meal is for the whole pack to see who can get it first. Individually, if you can EVER get that rare chance, many/most of them will run to ack or friends as soon as you equalize the fight and they lose advantage. The "A Grade" will have a go at you alone, though I've rarely ever actually caught one alone except for today, when one ran after 3 turns. Oh well, he did have 7 kills in that Tempest at that point. I can hardly blame him. Twice before I have caught one of them in a 1v1 and ended up on the losing end both times, but they were great fights. I extend another  :salute to those two guys once again... they are the few among The Few who don't need more than one of The Few to get the job done.

A great fighter score is achieved by taking few chances. Capping a field and vulching those dumb enough to fight back is a great way to improve your k/d. The Few are vulchers of the highest order. No shame there. It is what it is.

Me I'd rather die fighting than live and run, but I understand when you have an image to upold and score is of the utmost importance, you do things a certain way for a reason.

 :salute to you guys for the part you play in this game. What that part is is up to you.  :)

edit: This is not meant as any disrespect, just a harsh reality check for those among the AH cartoon ranks who haven't been quickly towered by this group - yet. They are without mercy and don't care about what you think is fair in a fight. Are they better than you? 99% of the time yes. Does that mean you're not gonna get dog-piled by the whole pack? Heck no.

Live with it an beware.

Reaper,

I believe your "harsh reality" opinion on The Few is laced with the bitter taste of emo tears.

"You will rarely if ever come across just one of them - they are pack hunters"

This is true. We're a squadron, thus we'll fly together as one.

They "do not believe in the 'nobility' of a 1v1 fight."

Hypocrite much? I've lost count when it comes to the amount of times you've dove into the middle of a 1v1, 1v2 or 1v3 which I've been involved in, just so you can pick up a quick and easy kill on me. Anyway, there's no such thing as a noble 1v1 fight in the middle of a furball so you'll never hear me rage about being picked in one.

"The kill is of paramount importance, and all of what is needed to make that happen is employed"

To me, keeping every single one of my squad mates from being shot down is of most importance. You can't 'ave it large and own everything in the sector with all your boys sitting in the tower. :D

"The A Grade will have a go at you alone, though I've rarely ever actually caught one alone except for today, when one ran after 3 turns. Oh well, he did have 7 kills in that Tempest at that point."

Low on ammo and fuel, I reversed your SpitXVI and missed my shot, I could have continued the fight but the only spot I could put myself in would have been a very, very slow head on merge. I thought it best if I pass up being shot in the face, clear a friend and RTB with him instead, which I did.

"The Few are vulchers of the highest order. No shame there. It is what it is."

Poppy-cock! By the time I get close enough to a base to vultch, all the enemy players have been repeatedly killed so many times that they've moved away to a safer part of the map. :p But seriously, "vultchers of the highest order?"! I'm sure anyone involved in the SDL would ROFL at that statement.

 :salute

it's pretty easy to stop people from vulching... don't take off.

Reaper,

LOL Kazaa, don't let your head get any bigger than it already is, mate. No tears here, I thoroughly enjoy all my fights, losses included. Much to do with why I don't run from them.

Anyway, there's no such thing as a noble 1v1 fight in the middle of a furball so you'll never hear me rage about being picked in one.

I'm honoured that you have mistaken me for someone who has killed you more often than I myself actually have. I'm pretty sure that in the last year and a half that I have had the faintest clue who in Hades you are, I've been credited with 3 kills on the mighty Kazaa, twice by guns and once by proxy when you augered while we were in a hard rolling scissors. The two guns kills were in the middle of furballs and I will say I was lucky on both accounts.

Who you have mistaken me for that has jumped you when you were outnumbered and fighting for your honour I haven't a clue. But good show anyway. LOL

And FYI, I'd guestimate that 90% of the time I've been killed by a member of The Few, it's no where near a furball and MUCH MUCH more of a gangbang. But you call it what you want.

My statements hold true. I left the names out due to respect for the players, but the ack running and running to friends has happened on more than one occasion. Happened today. Not what I would expect from the UberSquad. Today one of your boys broke from a 2v2 and left a countrymate as soon as he lost the advantage, ran quite a long ways to ack. I stayed with him, partly because of dogged stupidity but mainly due to indifference, and wound up oil hit from the field guns. I turned and fought and damm near got an F4U(too much oil on the windscreen and only 1 cannon out of 3 left), then ran out of ammo. I decided to return home only to find him, the ack runner, following me - now he wants to fight. LOL. I was really not impressed !  :rofl

I'd do the same for my squaddies, never found any fault with it on your part. Only a warning to the unwary that you guys are really good at "picking" the overly hopeful off your squad mates' 6's.

Low on ammo and fuel, I reversed your SpitXVI and missed my shot,

You fired? Why? You had no where near a solution on me, and I never saw tracers. I was 20 degrees above your guns.

I could have continued the fight but the only spot I could put myself in would have been a very, very slow head on merge. I thought it best if pass up being shot in the face and clear a friend and RTBed with him instant, which I did.

Yes, you pushed the nose over, and egressed. About 60 seconds later, you cleaned a Spitfire off the rope of one of your squaddies, with me still in tow and falling ever further behind, even though I was checking the guy like mad.

Poppy-cock! By the time I get close enough to a base to vultch, all the enemy players have been repeatedly killed so many times that they've moved away to a safer part of the map. :p

Just because you're late to your own squad's party is no reason to go off on me. I've seen The Few cap more fields than the Joker's PoleSmokers, and vulch it relentlessly. If the Mighty Kazaa was late to the show that is the Mighty Kazaa's fault. Just to think you missed the chance to add a few tenths to your k/d.  :rolleyes:

Heck, I've even seen your daddy Bruv brag about the joy of vulching on 200!  :lol Don't play innocent!

Quote
But seriously, "vultchers of the highest order?"! I'm sure anyone involved in the SDL would ROFL at that statement.

I'm trying to figure out where I called your skill into question. Don't try to play the part of the porn star claiming he never takes a fluffer!  :rofl
