I will take on all comers in the DA any time.  I may not win but I won't be easy meat either.

Anyone can dive into a mosh pit and get kills.  Fighting smart is much harder and is what I aim to do.  I have much to learn, still, but  I would rather be known for being a smart fighter than a brash one.

There is a time to fight and a time to extend.

This is nothing more than an excuse and obviously you can't do well in a "Mosh pit".

in your mind maybe  :rolleyes:

I respect people who are men of their words...not "how" they play a game.

you saying you are fearless...and then saying you wont even engage a single con who has ALT on you.....are the exact opposite of the spectrum

I wont explain the conclusion I get from reading what you type....
have fun with that :aok



 :salute

I engage wisely, not stupidly.

Extend means I do not reverse at 1.5K.    I get to at least 5K then turn into the bad guy.

That won't happen by "extending" running past icon's range.

I forget how long I'd been here exactly, ~4-6 months or so, got a 6 kill sortie no rearm after I finally got off the runway. It was sweet justice, field was deacked, a friendly and I finally got up, guess they all liked him instead, but I was on that day. Never repeated that performance to date to be exact, I've had 6kill sortie's since but they involved rearms and bomber kills.

Anyhow your wish as almost all of have stated would forseeably increase they amount of ganging, not decrease it. I see your train of thought that some might say I'm not going to gang 'cause "I don't know if I can put enough led in him" to get any credit. Yet, you see ppl here blow all kinds of E adv to come down and get an assist instead of fight the higher con. Maybe it's a let none get away mentality or a collection of I want an assist, he needs to die, etc.

Many long time and intelligent players have weighed in and they think it'll increase because now it's actually worth some perks to try and get that assist, gang or not. The sum of said players and their exp in years is probably older than you. 
They're casting their bait over there, see?

1/10.

Again, "We are right because we have always done it that way."

Whatever.

I will extend when I want and fight when I want how I want.  I will not enter every single fight just because you say I should.  If you wish to fight every time and never extend that's your business.  I will learn my limitations and fight within them.  

I will learn to recognize an untenable situation and get out of it.   You feel free to stay in it past that point by rote and lose.  That's your prerogative.

All this combined "experience" you tout as a positive reeks of groupthink and lack of a fresh eye view.   That's your right, but a right doesn't prevent one from being very very wrong.

Those limitations are most often internally set by the fear of the unknown or inability to risk. Leaving your comfort zone is sometimes the best way to learn what you're capable of. At the very least, in case you are found in the same situation, you'll be able to use experience earned previously.

Play any way you wish but keep in mind my above comment the next time you find yourself forced into an unfamiliar situation. it is good advise for Aces High and life itself.

Would you jump into an F-4 Phantom and zoom around the sky without ever having attended ground school or earned a type rating in any kind of jet?

Would you fight in it against 11 Su-27s?

I press my limits within reason.   Diving below a group of ten F4Us and saying, "Come and get me" isn't a way to learn anything other than dying.

In the meantime, I practice against better players in the DA and get coaching on how to improve, then apply those lessons in the MA.

That's the difference between a game and real life.  Here you can dive below 10 f4s and you did need to be checked out or rated for whichever plane your flying. Should you fail you grab another plane and think of how you might have won the last fight.

October tour, fighter rank. Check what the numero uno was flying. Ask anyone, how he was flying.

Not trying to look big or anything, but frequently pushing yourself and your plane beyong its abilities is the way towards leaving any limits behind. From the top50 fighter sticks i know, 40 would give you the same advice.
