i know i had alt and e. i planned it that way. i was rolling down the runway, as i saw you guys coming in. i wasn't sure what you two were gonna do at first, so i climbed low, if that makes any sense. i stayed right along the ground as it rose. i also made sure to keep out of icon range, hoping you guys wouldn't notice me. i was slightly pissed that it took me 2x passes to get you, 'cause i know you didn't see me coming. was also pissed that i gave the other guy enough time to egress till help came...... 
seeing as that town was at sea level, and the hill i climbed was higher......i wanted alt and e 'cause there were 2 of you there, and i didn't know how many more would be coming from the cv.
you did end up with the base. one of the guys that came back, just after i shot ya down ho'd me....i didn't dodge fast enough. he took my right engine, which happened either just before or just after the base was lost. i headed for home. that dood followed me a looooong way to only get nothing. i ain't good enough to fight on one engine.
i generally like fighting you, although they normally end up with me in many many pieces......the only thing i was "calling out" was that you said you switch to even out sides, yet on that night, you were on the side that had 12 players on, attacking a base that was on a side that had only 2 or 3 players on.
that was the biggest reason i left the playmates. i like almost all of those that were members when i did leave. it just seemed as if side switching was frowned upon, and i couldn't see the sense of having all of us in a massive attack for a barley defended base.
funny thing was, that i got kicked out of a squad, before i joined the playmates......for NOT switching sides. 
Hahaha - Okay - now do remember you sneaking up on me. I think I realized you 2 seconds before I dies and was to sluggish to do anything but make my crumbling descent look good as it came crashing down to earth.
Again, that is a great tactic. We knew you took off but didn't know EXACTLY where you got off to. Bad SA on my part and a perfect ambush on your part. Kudos.
You usually win most fights with me, but I am getting better. As far as the side switching goes, this is a rescent thing for us we started up (ore aggressively) in the past few days. Sporadic before that.
Believe me, we respect and like you. We enjoy fighting you because you present us a challenge... ...EVERY TIME. No need to explain why you left VF15. VF15 is still a great squad and are usually found flying in LW. Our squad flies differently. We use wingman tactics and use the MAs to practice so we are prepared for FSO. For us, we don't horde. It may look like it as a defender and I can understand that. I often times find myself in a defensive situation with overwhelming odds trying to defend both in MW and in LW. It is the nature of the game in my eyes. I honestly try to squelch all channel and detune channel 200 so I don't get sucked into the chat that often happens after shooting someone down or getting shot down. So if you (or anyone) tries to communicate with me and I am not responsive, it is because I probably don't see it. I am not a rude person.
Anyways, <<S>> to you and hope to see you in the cartoon skies soon, brother! Happy new Year!
