oh, and voss, you simply suck. you remind me of RAGS from AW. can't hold your own and run for help even when at an advantage.
Even when at an advantage? Man, your story changes everytime you tell it Shane.
Let's reiterate.
Last night I was hitting grunt training up by A2 (behind enemy lines). During egress I see one high dot, one a little lower, and many lower still. The high dot is too far for me to make him out, and he's climbing. I've been climbing too, so I'm slow. I drop my nose for speed just as I make out the slightly lower dot to be a P51. One of the even lower dots gives the pony a check six, so that bounce gets blown, but as I break off the attack I get an icon on the higher dot. It's an La7 and he's at 25k (estimated, since I'm at 18k and he's 6k out and 60 degrees up my canopy). I turn toward A22, and warn everyone that Shane is in an La7 at 25k near A4. THey want to know how I know. :rollseyes:
As I get to about 20k, and now I'm down to about 250 indicated, the La7 gets word about the Bishop P51 and cuts back toward me (I can see this on dar). I break into him with my nose low to gain speed. At the merge, Shane is hotter then an MG43 at Normandy and pulls his signature high yo-yo to the right (confirming that it is Shane). I keep my nose down and turn into Bishop airspace. Shane's ego won't allow him to break off once contact has been made, so he is easily led away from his friends.
About 8k (distance) SE of A4 our E states become about equal, so I start a high speed grab. Shane mouths off about the lamer pony. Confirmed. My countrymen are laughing now, and requesting vectors, which I kept quiet on but all they have to do is use the wingman command. Shane repeats his ignorance with another taunt. I break up and back into him. As the fight begins, another countryman comes into the area with a little more alt. He asks if I want him to stay out and I said no. Why? Because Shane has asked for this.
Shane now breaks into the new attacker, rather then staying on me. At that point he didn't have to, so it's a little strange. Then, he spots a lower Bishop, and dives on him in an attempt to get an easier kill. It didn't work, so now he runs.
S:"Lol, now I've got four lamers chasing me."
V:"It's your own fault, Shane."
That doesn't work either and time is running out. Every Bishop in range is closing in now, because after all, Shane is Shane. In a twisty-turny low fight Shane can do nothing but be evasive, so I stay above him, wait for his E to run out, and then kill him.
Applause. laughter, uproarious praise, high fives, and a follow up ticker-tape parade follow.
S:"Voss your a popsicle."
V:"and you were killed by one."
S:"Voss I have lost all respect for your skillz
{sic}."
V:"That's right Shane, you were killed by someone with no skill."
So, Shane, I won't go so far as to tell you who you remind me of, but I will say you need to learn to shutup. You overinflate your own abilities by a factor of ten. You continuously taunt and deride anyone that engages you, regardless of the outcome. And worst yet, you are attracting so much attention (negative attention) that you will never get the one thing you seem to want (i.e. a 1v1 fight).
I have a list of ten guys that never 'key up' unless they are being negative and derisive. You top the list and will always be squelched. You don't have anything positive to say and you are making the entire genre unenjoyable for quite a few. I wonder how many new players come in, hear your banter, and decide the entire community is too immature by your one example?
I, for one, will not allow someone as negative as you tell me how to fly, how to fight, and who does, or doesn't have skill. You don't have a clue.
So, let's go back to the original reason for this response. Advantage? Shane, if I were in an La7 at 14k (where we were when things evened out) against a co-alt, co-E pony, I'd have the advantage. I know people want to kill me, so I don't mouth off about it, so maybe I did have the advantage, but you gave it to me.
