Bar, its a huge difference between picking and picking.
In a many vs many furball, theres no other way to get a kill without getting killed. Engage-disengage, teamwork, technically its a pick but noone will ever throw rocks on ya for this.
But theres an other way. Once i was over the tank-town in my g-6, off hours time, only a couple guys on. I had some 1v1s and 2v1s with the bish folks, was pretty much fun, until i almost got bingo fuel. I killed that niki and headed to rtb. There was an la-5 almost over my field, i still had about 30 rounds and 5 mins of fuel, i decided to engage. The La-pilot was very good, he could keep up with my empty g-6 for about 3 mins. Right when i was about to finish him (i could get right on his six, was trying to set up a sure shot) a niki was coming. I only had time to turn around not to show him my tail, he dived in with blazing guns from 1k and got me. He was that one i downed right before. I cant remember who was it, i dont even want to. But that guy was coming one and a half sector only to pick me, this caught me.
