Kills of P51s

[CZCH64]

Yes he was born at 28 weeks. 

My son was 3 months early , even for that they said he was small for his gestational age...Gotta watch his ears folding over right?. Was a bit of a shock...lol. For everyone else, preemies don't have all their cartilage yet so their ears will stay folded over if you don't fix them, after sleeping etc.

My half brother was born three months early.  He is 14 now.

Glad to hear mini-shida is getting on OK bud. Before you know it he'll be running all round the place and you'll find it difficult to remember what it was like having such a tiny person.

My little one is the very opposite, he just had his 15 month check-up yesterday and is in 98th centile for height. He's bloody huge!

Coombzy Have fun feeding him and Shida its good to hear things are going well.

Thank you all. We are very happy to have him after our experience. Yes the floppy ear thing is funny, he's got real ones now though, and getting big fast, catching up. Have to savour each day as the little ones change so quickly as Mr. Coombz observes 

It's wonderful being a father, makes my heart swell with pride to see the little tyke standing on the table, holding my CH stick with both hands and reversing P-51s (back on topic  ) in his Nakajima, wearing his special flying diaper and the tiny silk scarf and goggles that Zack sent.

I expect your son can already reach the pedals Mr. Coombz. Mine has to tilt his head a bit for now & I work them for him 


Anyway P-51s, Sir Nuke flies a fine one. But I think the most epic fight I ever had with a P-51 was about a month ago with some numbers guy who knew how to BnZ properly, just getting into the vert safely and mostly just slightly out of reach, just dangling himself enough to get you to commit to the vert for the shot with a tiny bit too little energy. I had a couple of tickles on him and one solid shot in the end which I was sure was enough, but he survived it and it cost me the fight. Epic battle <S> whoever you were.

I still dont see where the honor is. Basically this all seems like a great way tho chide and shame someone into fighting a fight his A/c can never win. It's like you guys are saying 'I made you lose your e and  advantage now you must fight to my advantage which will result in your death'  but then you guys  are supprised when someone chooses not to fight your fight. Now the one pass hoing from 1k out  and run folks are a different matter

thx shida

Perhaps for some there is more dignity in accepting your defeat than trying anything to survive. More especially in a combat simulator where no one (egos aside) actually gets hurt. Fly how you wish in Aces High, and be defined by your actions.

Like I said you expect them to continue fighting bleeding e until your advantage is  so great  they have no hope? Meanwile they could have disengaged? Yeah man I'm sorry that just seems like an excellent way to goad people into padding your stats. Like I said the one and done guys  can be jeered but someone that comes in and  mixes it up then gets out when the fight is  lost is figthing smart. If you force someone to run be dignified and accept that as a victory and dont flaunt it over 200, becasue otherwise  you just want the same thing as someone who cares about score. Your name in lights. Its about the fight not about bragging on 200 or a system message.

I don't expect anything. I do not goad people. I do not criticise people's flying. I do not consider stats. You asked about honour & I tried to share an insight. I do not see the burden of explanation being on me. Fight as you wish.

Wow

One has to wonder if you continually miss the point and post this kind of rubbish on purpose just to be contrary, or if you are actually incapable of understanding things that are quite clearly written, such as shida's post above

Im not saying you personally have to explain anything , Im offering an opinion and asking for others.

I see the point that is being made. I just have a differing opinion perhaps you should try and contemplate my point before dismissing it as rubbish? How is  anything I have said rubbish?

[coombz]

I do understand your point, after all it's one that we see repeated quite often on these boards. I even agree with it to an extent. I'm not one of these 'fly hard, die hard' air samurai like nrshida and ink & co...if I need to run away to grab some alt or escape a gang raping then I will do so *shrug*

It's just that what you said bears no relevance whatsoever to the post of nrshida's that you quoted    

It's almost like you hit quote without reading what he said and then just copy and pasted the standard P51 runner response in reply

Yes it does I ask why would someone want to continue the fight thier plane is not built for(a direct resaponse to the very first line of the quote from  shida), to the point that the figth becomes hopeless for them when they can simply disengage. and if it's truely about the fight you shouldnt feel the need to disparage someone that mixed it up with yuou but disengaged  when the fight went south.
