But having watched both your file was more worthy, I love a good rolling scissor fight.

Musashi said having a favoring one weapon or tactic was bad, or words to that effect, use what is appropriate to the situation. If I had committed to maneuvering like this in a multiple bandit situation, it would have left me terribly vulnerable to additional bandits. In that situation it is usually preferable to do other things, such as keep speed high and shoot bandits off each others' tails. That wingman stuff is a big part of ACM training for good reason.

I had a decently maneuverable aircraft and the luxury of 1v1 for most of these kills. Basic reversals flown moderately well, and they worked out. Skyyr is demonstrably more effective than me in multiple bandit situations. Gunnery is always the bottom line. I posted this film ONLY to further debunk fiction being opined about my squad. Timid? We usually try to not commit suicide, but Skyyr's 5 minute video shows more risks being taken and more attacks being dodged/reversed than many players (Rocky) and even whole squads (you know who they are) do in a whole tour.

I don't know about you guys but I enjoyed the gunnery in those film clips. It made me recall the few lucky hits I managed to score on my 'active duty'.

This month, June, marks our sixth full month of flying Aces High for a majority of our squad members, previously having spent 10 years or so in Fighter Ace. It's always interesting going over to a new game, learning and adjusting to it. Some things about AH are much easier than Fighter Ace, some are harder, and some are just different. Regardless, the past six months have been incredibly fun.

As a milestone, we threw together a montage of gameplay, done Damned style. It showcases our first six months of dogfighting in AH, and a taste of what's yet to come in the many months ahead.

We'd also like to shout out to the pilots - specifically TonyJoey, Sawzaw, cmex, Duie - who have welcomed us, helped us learn the ropes of Aces High, and provided wingman support.

To those who have been shot down, and to those about to be shot down, we salute you.
