99% of the time "timid" means someone in a slow, maneuverable aircraft is mad that someone in a fast, not-so-maneuverable aircraft won't slow down and turnfight him.

If you can't stand it when you can't force a fight, then fly one of the fast, not-so-maneuverable aircraft.  No one ever turns down a 1vs1 against a 190D-9 or P-47N.

I wouldn't say that, but I do believe the 10v1 against the N is prefered  ;)

I have found, dammit I can't find my pie chart, sorry... that the JUG N is usually only ganged 7 to 1.  the 190 on the other hand a trifle 5.  Please keep the exaggeration to a minimum.   :)

Wow.  I would say timid is not using a name.  I would say timid is then, meeting said alleged person in the DA.  Then if successful, thump chest.
:aok back your words up ask to 1v1 if you win you got rights, you lose sit down shut up

I have to say I think I am timid. When you only avg 4 kills an hour that seems to tell the story. But I tell you this I got into a battle with an f4f that had alt. It was touch and go for a while and finally I got him into my front windscreen. About that time wham, one of 20 bish came to the rescue. I'm not complaining but it does make you shy. Like AkAk, I was fighting a ki84 vs my f6f. I have the vid. The Ki84 came into the fight doing over 400 mph. We get into a tussle. I finally get the edge and ping his fuel before he goes into a stick stir routine. Then I catch a glimpse of an a8 coming into the fight. I duck, the a8 and he augers. Then a ki61 b&z's me and the Ki84 joins in. I somehow survive but wow! Did that get intense.

Worst part is, I've seen him get "best fighter" fairly often.  So in one stroke that designation is now totally worthless to me.

It should have never been worthwhile to you in the first place.  It's pretty easy to game fighter rank, particularly if you're flying a Tempest.

Well.... I would recommend the following steps:

Insert game ID, then check kills by airframe.  Then you you find a fraction of their kills are in a tempest, retract statement.

Anyway..poor form.

Yeah buddy, I went in on you thinking easy p47 kill! Ugh, I got owned, second time that day by a p47n. Curse your name! However, I have picked up a few pointers since then. Not that it makes me on par.

Not rarely you find also only a fraction of their kills had been made in fighter mode too ;)

check the stats on SLIMpkns.  Think Ive only got about 8 hours this tour.  Been bz leveling up another Jedi in SWG :)

Both EW and MW have become base running arenas more than anything else. A few people that claim to be in the arenas just for fights are really there to kill lemmings. Its really that simple. We went in to MW and stopped the base running in prime time and so the base running continues during school hours and the wee hours of the morning.

You dont seem to be willing to stop the base grabs. I think we have something around 25 captures which were primarily to irritate the enemy into a fight. Two other squads in there have over 100 captures and I know you are well aware which two squads they are.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.
