Its maybe funnier with pilots thats fight even if they are in a bad situation. (because then i get kills) and i can go into a fight even if i know i will die very fast. Its fun and something i can do in a game. In terms of smartness however, a good pilot uses his planes strenghts and he fights only the fights he is sure he can win. Its boring for his opponents but there is nothing wrong with it. A2A combat is nothing about a fair fight, kill your enemy as quik as possible and then go home. We can be goofing around like we do because ther are no consequences if we get killed.
Noone in this game is playing fair or noble. its not fair that a 109 pilot go vertical when in fight with a Brewster but noone complains about it.  
Guys like snailman and Bruv are really not funny to meet in the air because they kill me instantly, but i cannot complain about their way of fighting.

When you see the faster aircraft coming back, don't turn into him for a merge, let him have your six until the last moment while you build speed. Then use a loaded roll to avoid the shot and bring yourself back onto him for a shot of your own as he overshoots. I have illustrated what that looks like in the diagram below from two different perspectives.


That always ends in a no ping visit to the tower.

Well such vacuous rhetoric is easily recognized and ignored. I think implying superiority through applying an inherently safer or advantageous approach is equally meaningless.

Not really my point at all however.



You fellers obviously didn't see what shida did here, lmao!  You may define skill how you like but I haven't seen a turd yet that called himself a turd.  Turds are floaters because they float...but they certainly aren't turds, right? lol

So I challenge you to see where we say we are uber or the best at this game? Please find a single post where we say we are the best squad or any of us says we are the best pilot in AH.

You still think its just a saying..but..We really don't give a Damn, what you think or anyone else thinks. We aren't here to please you.

This 'end all arguments' clause you fellows keep trying to employ is wearing a little thin given how much arguing you seem to feel driven to do on this forum.  :headscratch:


In fact, our single stance has been a focus on effectiveness, so the über argument is sort of baseless.

Aren't you rather belabouring to prove an axiom though? That selecting the most effective technique is more effective?

Give me unlimited lives and I would absolutely run into the bazooka bar fights with a knife.  Why not?  Eventually, with enough attempts, at the end I'll be standing there when its done with everyone staring and whispering "That crazy *&^%$% just dove into a bazooka fight with a steak knife and won".  Then I say some cheesy line like "Sorry to cut things short boys, I just came back for my jacket", wink at the waitress, throw the knife into the bullseye on the dart board and walk out.

Uberness is what your squadmates have been claiming since they got here.  All of the rest of your post is drivel....again.  When they can fly in those modes fluidly, come brag on the boards about their excellence...until then, pfffft...its just noise.

Thank you for the response, Changeup.  It didn't, however, answer the question. 

It's a simple question.  I grant you the answer might not be so simple, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

BTW fellers....how did your duels go with TC and Joker1 the other night?  Did you whip up on ole TC and Joker??  They had lots of libations in um I betcha too.  How many of you vs them?  I never got that part of the story?  Was it even money or was it just TC and Joker1 against 3 or more? lol.

lemme know how that went.

I had to leave but I think out of the 6-7 duels we had, we lost the first one (maybe another?) and won the rest..it was 2v2 ..not sure what happened after I left..maybe they can answer that question for you. For someone who thinks so little of us, you sure are informed aren't ya?

You wouldn't walk out of the room, you might take one or 2 with ya, but someone would blow you up, however if you find that fun thats great! My problem is that if you are the type that doesn't find that fun everyone jumps on you and calls you a coward. This metaphor is quite applicable actually, half the folks calling you a coward are holding bazookas themselves.
