At 00:55, as soon as Monti is in filming range (just about 7K) his altitude is 6100, DMGOD's being 4900. From that moment he dove down to DMGOD and duel was over rather quickly.

I'm not seeing the same thing between the film and the Photobucket recording, but Monti still broke the agreed upon merge alt ceiling.


I'd think a 1200 foot alt advantage would be a lot more useful in a duel than a 15k one, anyway...

And what were the rules?

so its ok to grab a bunch of alt before merge? to come in with more E then the guy you are dueling?

 so you are saying its ok to cheat, cuz that's what he did from the sounds of it.

I definitely don't doubt he went up to 15 K.


well now Im gonna have to watch the film and see his lameness first hand.


edited after watching film

he came in at 6,7K

now they are at the exact same speed when he comes into the film so I doubt he went up any higher then he was.....

still lame.

haha he is doing 419 when they reach the same ALT, DMGOD is doing 363, and then he HO's him  :rofl

sad, but I am not surprised


its a given if you merge at 5K you don't go higher then that until icon vis

lol:

"What're the rules?"

"Merge at 5K."

"Did he dive down to 5K in time?"

"Yeah, but-"

"Then he didn't break the rules! HURR DURR"  :rolleyes:

That's dishonest, not in the spirit of the duel, and cheating. The whole point of having an agreed upon merge alt is to start the fight with equivalent E. One shouldn't have to explain the entire flight plan up to closing within weapons range to get an equal terms fight.

They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?
