F3?? Personally if you want to use it against me in DA..more power to Ya..

that's the ticket!  f3 offers no real advantage in a 1v1... the ones using it as an excuse all the while puffing their chest are the best entertainment... only slightly eclipsed by them calling you bs when you kill them from a disadvantage...

It is called experimenting with new planes/techniques.  Don't get your hopes up.  His dying repeatedly won't be a trend.

Please don't bore me with this drivel.  There are many many like him and none have had success at the highest levels espousing his style of fight.  None.  Zero.  Can he smack some noobs around foolish enough to follow him up?  Surely.  If you and he measure success that way, then consider yourselves successful. 

And BTW, rationalizing for him is weak.  The DA is for experimentation and learning along with the TA.

I found the ones that wont go to DA are most often found in the MA in a huge green hourd.... in a crappy P40 bragging about how awesome they are because they fly a P40 in the MA. :rolleyes:

Being back on subject now, to further accentuate the point of this thread, only the people that go to the DA have posted here.  The absence of the naysayers (with the exception of R105) is proof of their abject fear of having their egos smashed.
I have never been to the DA and if someone is playing and having fun in the main arena why should he/she go to the DA at once when invited? Who is more concerned about their ego: the one who keeps on having fun and playing in the MA or the one who gets shot down and invites another player to the DA to have a "proper fight"? I read about the F3 view in this thread and not so long ago there was a topic about people using diving from altitude to have more energy when they merge at an agreed altitude in the DA.

If DA is your thing please do invite people there with you, but don`t always expect them to say yes. I have a feeling that an open invitation is a lot more promising. What are the chances that if someone adresses you directly you are going to play someone else`s game with questionable fairness for awhile until someone`s bruised ego gets recovered?

There have been none like him.  The guy is on another level with this stuff.

Laugh all you want.   I am just thankful to have someone like him to learn from.

I have a suspicion that the loudest f3 whiners are the ones that use it the most and assume you are using it as well but are just better at it.

Basically it took multiple pages to learn what is already known by the majority, which is those that use F3 as an excuse not to go to the DA are eunuchs.

Yes.  A deceitful person naturally suspects everybody else of deceit.
