It is of my opinion that killing your engine in a fight is about as useful as an F4U dropping its gear in a rolling scissors. :old:

Fight the fight right and you will never end up in a position having to kill your engine. :old:

It's just a partial fix for when you mess up. :old:

Do you think I've even thought once about fights after the fact? Take me literally when I say I don't care about how thrilling a fight with any player is - that is not why I play this or any other sim. The only thing that I enjoy, that the majority of us enjoy, is killing the enemy. I could have a 50-minute long fight and, truly, I would consider it 49.5 minutes of wasted time, as well as a failing in my own ability to down the enemy quickly. The only true test of ACM is to kill your opponent, for that is what it was created for. Anything else is personal opinion.

You may enjoy juice cups and participation medals after a game; we play for the trophy and for the unadulterated spirit of competitive gaming.

All of that being said, if this means you'd like to go 1v1 in the DA, then let's go. ;)

Please do NOT pretend that you are somehow in the majority here in this community.

Perhaps we're all taking this game a bit too seriously.

The quote that sums up the entirety of this bulletin board. 
"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Surely you are correct, but that doesn't mean we have to agree and not make fun of the situation :cool:

Ammo I may be wrong but you may be confusing them with the original Damned we have known.

Did the FA immigrants drive TC to suicide or just to step aside?  :confused:

The FA immigrants are not affiliated with The Damned.

They started their own sqn and call it The Damned. Not sure why that is allowed, but whatever.

TC is still firmly in place with The Damned (the real Damned). Most of us are inactive at the moment or fly on a limited schedule, but we are still here.

I'm sure one of the immigrants will be along shortly to clear up the confusion.
