xaqut1!

I came upon this guy drivin a 51 last night at 25k. All I could think of while fightin was who is this guy?

He held his E while remaining aggressive...who flew very smart, which I do not see too much of in the MA.

I made a mistake last night and missed a comm from my wingman. I should have fought a different fight, but still, I doubt that it would have made much of a difference.

Final result...he waxed my hiney.

<S> to a smart flyer...I'll see ya again, you can count on it :)

Thats funny Kieren :) Actually I was on a mission with fellow Bishops...they made me fly that high for bomber escort...honest :)

Tac....412th owns him...probably better that way...I love a good Pony versus Pony engagement...especially when I don't get killed :)

Good Show!  Now if he'll just continue up your back and finish at your shoulders you'll have seemingly made the transition from ape to man!   :D

LOL @ SOB.

<S> Rude, nice way to compliment an adversary.

xaqut1 (aka Lucky) is the kind of stick we at the 412th are trying to develop.  I think you will find that even the new guys in the 412th are pretty darn good (cept me of course   ;) ) as we work hard at learning the pony.  You are just lucky that you didn't have any more of the 412th to deal with at the same time as we like to hunt in packs...   :)

P.S. Mentioned the idea of a 13th vs 412th squad duel to some of the other guys and they're all for it.  Are the 13th up to it?   :D

Love a good hi alt fight.. Most guys up high tend to blow all there E manuevering and have to dive 10k to recover.

Recently had a good 25k jug vrs jug fight like the one you described, sadly never got the guys name becase a pony showed up and i was forced to bug out.. ended up forcefuly getting the Pony drivers name though, not buy choice hehe  :D

<S> Rude and Skyking. That was some fun last near P4/A3 last night  :)  Most players would have dove for lower alts but you two stuck around for some fun.

I had a few rounds with xaqut1 the other night, I think it was a push with a one for one.  412 have got a good one.

On another note, hey Rude...  You wouldn’t happen to have a son going out with a hairdresser would ya?  My wife comes home last night telling me the boyfriend of this lady was telling her he though his dad flew AH and was a squad leader?  Small world maybe?

I was doing the impossible last night- dogfighting a 109 in my 190D-9 at 20K. I was looking for the buffs that were trying to finish the Rooks off, and along comes this 109. He blew a couple of passes at me (he started with alt) and we went back and forth. I kept the speed up and went vertical where possible, and used the roll to avoid the passes. Eventually I got some pings on it and he was forced to dive away. I let it go, because I was looking for buffs as a first priority.

I just thank my lucky stars I survived that engagement- the D9 sux so bad.  ;)

<S> Westy and LLB  :)

That was fun...I was doin ok with the two of you, but the 38 exceeded my capacity to think and I bled too much E following one of the two 262's in the vertical...did see one little itty bitty hit sprite tho :)

Skyking was right tho...he said we should have bugged and regrouped...I temporarily lost my mind :)

Cyas Up!

Jeeze; hope this wasn't the escort package I was leading.  :(

On that set; Rude and I chased down a Hi (25k) pony that was a threat to the Lanc package we were herding. I'd set a 15k harddeck on the escort package; and when the bad pony finally ducked down low with Rude in hot pursuit, I let him go and typed "break off; grab out".

Next time I looked Rude was waaaay down in the weeds with the guy... guess he missed the break... I know he missed havin me cover his six, but I had 8 lancs to watch over....  :(

Sorry Rude... felt bad about that.
