What you guys are forgetting is that most of us don't have countless hours and thousands of sorties in the DA. Hell I never even owned a computer until 3 years after you registered on the BBS.
What I learn I learn by trial and error in the MA and watching what others do. Of course I don't want to lose a dogfight.....who does? You're the same way or you wouldn't have spent the time you have learning and polishing your ACM over the years. So who here is really the one's that doesn't want to lose a dogfight?
From where I sit I see a clique of guys that specialize in dueling and then come to the boards and ridicule others about how crappy they fly. If you guys are really the authority on how to win fights, you'd all be flying Early war planes instead of these KI84s, K4s, 262s and LA7s I see you all in. When was the last time any of you flew a I16 or a P40 in the main arena?
Come to think of it I can't count how many times I've seen the Muppets do the same exact thing to guys in their K4s yet they aren't labeled "lame". Guys like TonyJoey you all hold up as a shining example of awesome skills when in reality all he does is pick the outside of furballs in a 51 and holding a 43 to 1 K/D Then when he comes to the BBS you all can't tell him..... and the rest of us enough just how great he is C'mon man!
The thing about TJ is that he does it so with minimal trash talk. Most pickers will troll their lives away just because they didn't die. Also, TJ is well enough to hold his own in a fight. It is the same way with Bruv. Bruv will pick all day, because he can. If you were to get him alone I guarantee you would have a hard time fighting him because he uses your plane disadvantages against you. TJ fights the same way. Some call it "lame" some may not. I don't care in all honesty. TJ has killed me in that stupid blue nose P51 a few times, I just re-up and chase him home. I have only fought Bruv in KOTH, never in the MA. I run into The Few before I run into Bruv.
It is how you do the picking that makes it lame I guess. Like some pickers are just that bad, all they do is pick and they do it because they can't fight. Not to call anyone out or anything but a lot of squads do it as a group, but that is what wingmates are for. To clear your six. For example:
The Few
Anti Hording Squad
4th FG Debden
Jokers Jokers
56th FG
Yeah, even your squad does it. I named these squads because I have been killed by them first hand due to picking, not because I have anything against you'll. Great squadrons they are, ( well maybe not JJ's but that is a different conversation
).
Being lame is pretty much someone who doesn't fly how you want them to fly. So everyone in Aces High is lame to me because I want everyone to fly straight and level so I can haz the eazy killz.
