Old folks realize all this chest thumping is ridiculous. But we do still enjoy a good purse fight from time to time  :old:  :D

It's gotten old and can't be healthy for the game

It's a dang shame you guys don't do bomber escort. Seriously. All the fighter talent bunched up in one spot on the deck raising hell on 200  :rolleyes:

just seems like a waste to me.

And yeah it gets old and IS unhealthy. I noticed that we can't PM friends anymore, for whatever reason. I would lay money down on it being for bickering or cheating. That sucks. o well I guess. Fighter guys in the real world are cocky and flashy anyway...so that's to be expected. The 200 channel seems to be extremely hostile now, compared to several hundred at a time were on. It probably sucked then too, but we had Skuzzy keeping that in check.

You would be let down sir.

Speaking from a FSO stand point....."NONE" of the players in FSO could properly cover bombers.

Or in any other arena. The fighters go chasin squirrels and leave the bombers hangin

The Masters of the Air event saw some pretty good escorting. But in general, you’re right.

 :rofl  Yep The few I took part in I did the exact same thing and found our real quick I wasn't all that. Humbling to say the least.

Some guys are good at dueling and that takes skill, but escort takes a different skill set. The pilot that can fill BOTH roles
would be the best IMO.

Me.? I'll go take the fighter hangers down  :neener:

more than one way to skin a cat  :cool:

You are beholden to a book/script.   That is why you lose.

Jet fighters have speed brakes.   Same principle applies.

(And yes, this is just a visual of the plane coming apart not the gear being down, but gear used for drag is a basic technique of airmanship in general regardless.)

I’ve never understood dudes with boy band infatuations. You’ll grow out of it, probably sooner than later, he’s transitioning the fake damned over to DCS or was IL-2? 🤔  Or he’s going on some extended trip to the Middle East; wasn’t it? Right?

J1HAD, you’re a different person with him back, more ppl liked the former. Ask around…

Say hi to One Gear this evening for me, no time tonight.  :airplane:
They're casting their bait over there, see?
