One of the cool things in this game is you dont have to be a great player to find your own best fight ever.

When a 3 star player meets a 5 star player and loses, its curatins lots of times for the 3 star.. When a 3 star player meets another 3 star player, an awesome battle can occur. This isnt saying that individually they are very good, but at that moment, the level of competition was so close it made the fight intense.


So very true.

There was that one particular dogfight in at the beginning of my AH career that's still in my memory as one of the longest and most intense fight I ever had. Sweaty palms, totally exhausted at the end, shaking with excitement after it was over.

Years later I found the film and watched it. Looked like two blindfolded grannies having a pursefight.  :lol  If any of us two would have had any decent skill level, it would have been over in a minute.  But we both sucked, and that's why it was a great fight  :rock

I get what he's saying.  I've had some really great fights in the MA, but the best fights ever have been moments in scenarios for me.  That may not apply to other folks, but I can still describe those fights going back to Airwarrior.  Far and above better then anything else I've experienced in a very enjoyable game.

As the saying goes though, your mileage may vary :)

That could describe any fight I've had that has lasted over a minute.  :D

Best fight I can remember was a 202 vs 202 fight in the DA with Haxxor.  Lasted over 10 minutes until some tool decided he wanted to interrupt our fight at an isolated field.  The advantage changed hands so many times, it was just amazing.  As perfect a fight as you could ever have.

That fight was probably the longest lasting and most memorable fight I have had i n  AH. Too bad I was so torqued that I hit the cancel and not saved the film after that dbag jumped the fight.

Haven't even been able to duplicate it since either. :bhead

Any fight that leaves me shaking and sore leaves me craving more. Been a while since the last time it happened though.
Haxxor has returned!!!!
