There are three of problems with that screenshot.  1) I have never flown the Spitfire Mk IX in any of the main arenas, only in the DA and when it was around, the H2H arenas 2) the Spitfire Mk IX in the screenshot is Bishop, the time the 479th flew on the Bishop side was way before the B-25H was introduced into the game and 3) ack-ack is the name I use on the forums only, AKAK has been my in game handle since my AW days.

ack-ack

Pssst....Ack-Ack read the tiny text. I know it's not you as the time this picture was taken you were flying nearby on the good side. (Knits)  ;) It was a joke as I found it funny that I shot down "ackack" in a B25 while I was looking for B25 footage for this very thread.  :)

You know I'd like to fly against Ack-Ack and Cobia in a B25 vs A20 duel or team combat. Granted I already know I'm going to have my butt handed to me but it'd still be a blast and a good laugh. I could get some good screenshots for the website.  :D

Oh and Ack-Ack I do believe I've already shot you down while flying a B25. I got this from some old films I was reviewing.

 :D


(And yes I know that's not your in game name.)

Thats ackack from the Alchemists. As there is a "Scotch" in the same squad.

NOWHERE near the real deal. Why those two are still with the same handle is beyond me.

It would need to have the Benny Hill theme song as the sound track.

*facepalm* I know I know, this was a joke.

Trust me I see the real AKAK in the arena all the time when I fly and I know he wouldn't be caught dead in a Spit, let alone flying Bish. I should have been more clear with my hard to read and cryptic disclaimer.


On a side note I would still like to take up AKAK and/or Cobia's offer of a duel. Maybe I can get 999000 to gun for me while I try to out fly ( :rofl ) you guys.

I can only say one thing for certain about someone who thinks the B-25's a better dogfighter than the A-20: they're wrong.

The B-25 is an absolutely horrific dogfighter, which will probably lose 7 out of 10 fights it gets into.  However, it's those remaining 3 which make it worth flying.

it'll play out like this: he was on quartz six, i he broke off when he saw me closing and went for a HO shot but missed, we got into a turn fight, he tried to go vertical. then halfway through that vertical he tries to reverse back into a turnfight and thats when i nailed him.

uh, we did 1v1, and you lost, proven by the pictures ive presented. if you want the film just tell me how to upload it to use on the forums, and i will happily be glad too.  :rolleyes:

What you described hardly constitutes a true 1 v 1 fight. It sounds more like he tried to ward off your impending pick and it didn't work out for him because you held all the cards.

Truth ^^^

One of the most enjoyable things for me to do in AH is to bring a wounded B25 home after flying it into a furball.







A big bonus is when I actually get to land kills.  :aok

The A20 holds all the advantages except defensive firepower, this fight would be vastly one sided.

Yep, that B25 is going to rip the A20 a new one.
