had a pretty good night
« on: December 08, 2010, 08:00:38 AM »
in the ava last night. got home earlier than expected, and logged in. for a bit, the fights were up kind of high.....like 24k high........and there was a lot of "latewaresque" smack talk going on, but that seemed  to die down after a bit.
 was good numbers.....thing i saw around 20 or so at one point.

 after about an hour, the fights came down to a reasonable altitude......like 5k down to the deck reasonable. had a couple great fights against rammey.....won one, lost one. got myself picked, despite check-six's from others(target fixation) a couple of times. discovered that although i think spitfires are easymode, i still totally suck in them, and seem to be able to perform much much better in the hurricane1.
 had one fight that should yeild some great screenshots......started as a 4-1, became a 4-2, then a 3-1 fairly quickly, which i actually survived, as the last of the three(vultchey) bugged out.

 i always feel good when it takes more than one to kill me cartoon self.....and even better when i manage to take out a couple of them, and make one or more of em run away.  :devil

 dam those early war POS's are fun.  :aok

I found it interesting that the high alts and smack talk, and subsequent dying down, coincided with a certain few from a certain Axis squad being there and then leaving.  :noid

yea...it did seem to die down when they left, but from what i could tell, they didn't start the poop though....they just flew high. i didn't like the fact that all was high like that, but i guess i cvan understand it for squad ops though.

You should have noticed that the smack-talk started with the usual foofy suspects and got less response than usual from their intended targets.

As far as high alt, well I suppose if I was flying spits and hurricanes I'd want everyone else in low turn fights flying their weakness against my strengths too.

ImaDolt stirring things up?  Nice.... :aok

I didn't think he did that.  He always tells us what a nice guy he is.   :rofl

 I THINK the reason for the high alt was due to jg3 squad ops. no big deal really. as much as i like my "in the weeds" low alt fights, those up around 20k can be massively fun too.

 what kept getting me, was that A)as mentioned, i suck in any spitfire, B) it seemed that i'd be in a 1-1 fight, and in less than 2 turns, there were suddenly 3 or 4 109's on my six, that just seemed to drop outta warp(star trek reference, not cheat reference), and they'd subsequently take my spitty apart for me.
 i did much better in the hurricane, and with some tips from dot, i was managing to score better hits too.

 all in all, a great fun night. i give it a  :aok :aok  out of  :aok :aok     :devil

actually, i was picturing dot as banging his head on the keyboard last night, as he was trying to diffuse the lw banter.

one of those guys kept trying to target me, and almost always got quiet when given facts.....the other guy kept trying to target me too.......but his i almost think he was really just messing around....not sure though.

 and i shuold have done this in the OP.......but a big <<S>> to rammey for a couple of incredibly FUN fights.

IMO, the purer and more interesting fight is the Spit I vs Emil.  Only the 2-dimensional dweebs that need to fall back on flat turning squirm their way into a Hurri I in a BoB setup.  Only thing worse than them are the guys that fly the 110c in that setup.

i tried to fly the spit early on. i just couldn't seem to hit anything with it.....................and couldn't turn the dam thing for my life.

 i flew the hurri, and was able to hit with it, and turn.....i tended to use a lot of vertical though, as that's how i fight.....and i don't mean bnz, but rather vertical turning.......she does fairly nice in the vertical as long as you're on top of things, and use plenty of rudder to control her.

 i saw a pretty even mixture of spits and hurricanes......but only saw one 110, flown by shifty.

 i was very amazed at how those 109's turned........it seemed like they turned on a dime, and gave back 9 cents change....... :noid
