Challenge: Why are you yelling bravo? Did you like it that much?

[LCADolby]

  Achieving this level of proficiency was no easy feat for me.

Which is why you have lowered the difficulty no doubt

*poke*

[guncrasher]

i have tens of thousand of sorties with tens of thousands of kill and I havent had a single death yet.  actually from the time I started around here about 7 years ago i havent had a death.

Whoa...!!
My mind is blown.
My face is melt down.
Clapping hands like mofo, screaming respect and honour.

Actually, it was changed after Shadow got his award to require only going 50 to 0... the entire stipulation on maintaining 0 deaths in either fighter or attacker was removed. (Don't take my word for it, go look up Shadow's final Tour 148 stats)

Pand then further modified it, making it Fighter only and reinstating the total tour requirement for fighter deaths.  Change is a constant, buy a helmet.

I don't know why you are needling him, you're going to look like a jerk when you handily beat his record next tour... the only thing you haven't stated is which early/mid-war plane you are going to do it in... I can't imagine someone like you doing it in a P-51B.  I pegged you for doing it in a 109F4, but I didn't want to presume.  Either way, I have a side bet going that you will do it in under... well, a certain amount of time.

So far you and Bone are the only two that even stand a chance... I mean, Derpbrody... I told Pand he'd probably have to let him attempt it in a 262 to even come close.

I'll be lucky to go 2:0, but I am still going to try.

 

[LCADolby]

Rediculous. I am not capable of such a thing in a 109F, not by a long shot.

To my fellow peers that have contributed a positive response:  I sincerely appreciate your kind words and support. 

To the remainder of the balcony:  Achieving this level of proficiency was no easy feat for me.  While I certainly do not relish the idea of you obliterating my record, in light of the combination of the ease in which you assert that it was originally obtained, coupled with your superior skill, I take heart in the excitement of seeing by just how far each of you will exceed my results so that I may have a new level of excellence to strive for.

Good luck, and good hunting! 

my aim is not good enough for this "style" of "fighting"  but I will gladly take some DA lessons from ya.

[LCADolby]

If Pand will DA me (deck merge equal aircraft) and wins best of 5, I'll happily attempt this challenge in a PonyB.

Awesome, I will let him know that you will meet him in the DA in a PonyB.  BRB.

<S> Ink!  I'm not sure I could teach you much, my lessons are limited to winging up, getting kills, and staying alive in the MA.   

If Pand will DA me (deck merge equal aircraft) and wins best of 5, I'll happily attempt this challenge in a PonyB. 

<S> Dolby!  I will happily engage you in the DA best of 5; however, I am quite confident that I am not as proficient as you 1v1 (and expect you to school me).  I accept your challenge, as long as regardless of outcome you accept mine, since you imply that a 50-0 in the MA is child's play.

[Pand]

Congratulations and <S> Dolby!!!  1v1 you definitely have the ACM skills on me.  Good fun.   

[Guppy35]

Congratulations and <S> Dolby!!!  1v1 you definitely have the ACM skills on me.  Good fun.   

What were you gents flying?

[Pand]

What were you gents flying?

Bravos and Emils

[ink]

Congratulations and <S> Dolby!!!  1v1 you definitely have the ACM skills on me.  Good fun.   

at least you will go to DA....unlike chalenge


but ya....I have no interest in worrying about a silly cartoon death......

or getting "kills" or "winging"

you do realize I hope........ that if you spent the time you gave to this game actually fighting till the end win or lose...those fights would have been different.

there is a time and a place for both flying mad and flying smart. I enjoy both immensely at the right times.


I gave the Pony B a fly this morning and managed to land a 7 kill sortie. The only real constraint is the ammo load. To get 50 kills in 4 hours needs a target rich environment.

For me, the MA is practice for the big game that occurs Fridays at 11 Eastern time.   FSO is the real deal, and in my opinion, is the epitome of Aces High.  I subscribe to the quote "Practice the way you compete", and in FSO since you only have 1 life, this includes flying each plane to its advantages, procuring a reliable wingman, and honing your accuracy to not miss a potential shot.
