I guess I would quit the 38 again, if I got shot down more than twice than I was "owning the tower dishwasher".    Nine kills to 20 deaths in a week and you quit.    :rofl


Thats horrendous. Even my ktd is better, and I'll admit I'm actively seeking tough fights.

Tough fights like the other night when you were hunting C-47s resupplying strat?  Those most have been some white knuckle fights you had.

Fighting those La-7's in my A6M certainly was difficult.

And IIRC, you said we should defend the towns from resupply. Why does the same not apply to strats?

I wasn't saying you shouldn't defend, I was just laughing at you looking for a "tough fight" against C-47s near the strats.

I once landed three kills in a C47.  It was one of the highlights of my AH career!   :rofl

I think 10 minutes out of an hour or two hardly defines my average sorties.

It does show that you don't seek tough fights either.

Zack is definitely awesome...... :old:

Zack is definitely awesome, not only for his qualities as a birdman, not only for his unique style of posting, but . . . because he is also an aficionado of the meat pie!  (My favorite is steak and mushroom, with chips, a Newcastle, and some peas, not mushy, though.)

The one doesn't follow from the other, AKAK. Its like saying "you like pancakes, therefore you hate waffles".


Hell, its not even that. Its like saying "you ate a pancake once and may or may not have enjoyed it, so obviously you hate waffles".

Keep trying to backpedal, you claimed "I'm actively seeking tough fights.", only to have it pointed out that comment isn't quite true.  If you were actively seeking tough fights, you wouldn't have been hunting C-47s near the strat, unless your skill level is such that engaging an unarmed transport plane qualifies as a "tough fight" for you.

I think I found the issue.


And again, your logic is flawed. You're taking one isolated incident, far different from what I usually do (infact, first time I ever went goon hunting at the strats), and are implying this sets the rule for my typical sortie.

You're saying I "don't" seek tougher fights in general, instead of saying I "didn't" in that particular incident.
