sunsfan vs icepac dueling bracket

[icepac]

Sunsfan is a very good and a good sport even with my questioning what constitutes a merge.

This is my second k4 sortie ever and my 6th hurricane sortie but plenty of time in the I16 though I have no excuse for spinning in the 110g considering how often I fly it.

1.   hurricane IIc

2.   I16

3.   109k4

4.   110g

Suns is one of the best

I had some good opportunities in the hurricane duel but missed the shots and I made the mistake of pulling to hard in trying to end the 110 duel quickly and spun it.

Crossing flight paths is a merge. Whether you both be turning or flying straight or over and under it's a merge. That's how I always learned.

the "merge" starts at icon range.

[FLS]

Icepac you can start turning before you pass your opponent, you just can't shoot before the first pass.

If that's not clear enough training is available.

Deleted. Found the links.

[icepac]

I will continue to fly straight until the merge.

[LCADolby]

I'll happily train you on merging icepac.

 

[icepac]

You are confusing knowing how to merge with my not agreeing with what is considered a proper merge in aces high.

Don't you have more whining to do in the "Clean fight or not?" thread?

[LCADolby]

Niiice icepac.

Slap away the olive branch.

Please do continue.

the merge starts as soon as you reach icon range.....

the whole point of DAing is to get better at fighting...and practice for the MA.....flying straight at each other is just gonna get you a face full...

long before you "pass" each other you should be maneuvering.....

otherwise its just a matter of who pulls back faster....

I know right away if someone knows how to fight...if they fly at me straight...they have no clue....if they are maneuvering for a shot, other then my face...I know they know how to fight.

If you 'merged' with me like that the first time I would have selected 100% fuel for the next round I would put the plane on auto level at the merge and go off down the shops for an hour

The whole point of a "duel" is for there to be a level playing field from the beginning. With that in mind it does not appear that was the case in this scenario, because icepac is still providing that he is confused as to the meaning of merge. In fact, the definition in play here does not agree with historical precedent, which defines the merge as a neutral pass. Typically, the fight does not begin until the 3-9 line is crossed, thus the 'merge' is to the point of crossing (the 3-9 line). If this convention is not followed then all you have is a guns hot, front-quarter intercept.

If your going to bring up the rules you should read them first.
