Unperk everything in Latewar

[captain1ma]

the Jets in the AVA are unperked this week. try em out! 

yes grizz, this is a shameless plug for the AVA!

This was always the case.  This is your nouveau style of flying, to do what players were doing back in beta when flying 109s/190s against Spits and other better turning planes?

I was moreso referring to how to fight vet heroes flying turny planes.  I don't really have a particular style, it varies too much based on the particular circumstance.  I certainly would never get sucked into a fight I can't win against a spit5 though.  If you ever come back, I'd enjoy seeing how an aces high god sucks me into such a losing battle, but I'm sure if you do it will be in shades anyways.

"Aces High Gods" would lose that fight just about every time to a semi-competent pilot who has a better plane with more E, or in the very least they would stalemate until the pilot in the lesser plane gets picked, grows bored, or makes a mistake.  Certainly, all things being equal, the guy in the better plane with E should win.

What you're saying is just very basic stuff, though I suspect you're trying to couch it as something new and exciting.  Folks have been doing what you describe since beta and since even before Aces High (there were lots of great E fighters in Air Warrior).

I think I will always remember one fight we had in the ma lev.  I was in an a5 and you were in your spit.  I knew it was you before we engaged so I managedto surprise you off the merge.  We merged cold headon, you went vertical to immelman and so did I. The reason I will always remember it is because I surprised you and I could actually tell...  I had chopped throttle before the merge and I ended up nearly saddled up on you...  then you jerked around into a spiral climb and nailed me after I stalled out.  But for one shining moment I knew I had you lol.  Honest to god I think I'll always remember that... oh and for the record...  Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Hey, Urchin!  We had some great, memorable fights over the years.  Didn't I cut my teeth in the Tempest against you in some 1v1s?  Those fights were extremely helpful for learning its positives and negatives - mostly its negatives that night for me.

by the way if i was his attorney Ded you would already have been served with a gag order!!!!    

Damit, stop typing so match.  My ADD does not allow me to read all this and understand it.  However, I never said attorney.  Someone else did.  I said minister of propaganda 

[dedalos]

Hah.  I would also put spit9s, p40s, and brewsters into the same category.  It's not really a threat since it a pretty slow and you can just extend away from it when it turns circles around you, but it's not like you are really accomplishing much by outturning late war planes in a plane that should outturn late war planes.

I agree, the real accomplishment would be to out run slow lanes with a late war plane that should out run them

Of course it is basic stuff, that's the point, and why you can never be considered a world beater by flying a turny bird in the LW.  You seem to have me sized up quite well, considering you haven't played the game in years.  Hopefully you can return soon and show me the ways of the old guard.

So, who missed Skyrock?

Never be considered a "world beater" by whom?  You?  Why would I want to be?  Just fly and have fun and worry less about what others think and more about what you enjoy doing.  It's your money after all.

What's sad is that I'm showing you the way of the "old guard" right now, and it's flying right over your head.

I could care less.  If I cared what anyone thought, I wouldn't be calling out the gods.

Back to the original point, turny birds are easy mode.

Thank you for the much needed distraction on this dreary friday morning of work though.   

[Dead Man Flying]

Of course you care, that's exactly why you're calling out the "gods."  This entire thread is an exercise in self-inflation because you desperately want others to think you're on par with some of the folks who played the game well 5+ years ago.  You can't even throw out a compliment to someone without a caveat.  Is your ego that fragile?

Is this the new part?  I remember folks whining about that back in Air Warrior.

Lol, could care less, I'm just trolling you.  If you want to sign up for an account and get your butt whipped in your own plane though, feel free anytime.

  yeah, but from a safe distance ehh?  You are calling some one out after a 4 year break?  That is awesome

And so GrizzRock was born

Grizz, you're doing it wrong FFS. Trolls don't admit to being trolls.
