...are boring, Ran into 2 of them last night. WTF run when you have a 2v1 advantage?

I could only imagine those two screaming like lil' gurls as they ran away from the fight

they might have turned back if you had said that on ch1.

I hate it when a plane gets notorious for running. Not because of when they run, but when they don't! Last night I'm cruising along in a 38 and get bounced by a high pony. He overshoots and I think "okay, I'll look like I'm chasing until he extends out of range." And THEN, he's NOT outrunning me...WTF? Still in triple-digit range? Going into a scissors??? WTF do I do now???? I really wasn't too sure what was going on, so I died. Thanks Rude.

Classic example of why generalizations suck Ossie

I belive the proper terminology is, Tactical Withdrawal. You'll see me do this a lot more then HT gives me my P-47N

hehe the same thing happened to me! I am in a 190, a high fast pony bounces me so I just do a little evasion to keep up my e but make him zoom back. but this was an aggressive pony and didnt extend (who ever heard of an aggressive pony!??), he dumped his speed and I got blasted. ~~beemer~~

I'm not one to talk smack on Ch1 but these guys got a "Boring 51 Dweeb" and a "Now run away, ok" from me on Ch1.

I know, I'll do better next time...the dark side is seducing me

Well, if I had any help up there I would say that it was a tactical withdrawal...but these guys ran after they each took 2 HO passes...and I mean run...we were at 20K and these guys, even though they had the 2v1 advantage, still tucked tail and dove for the deck, fricken lamers < tm Shane

For starters, Horn - Nice work!!!! The only flaw I can see in the artwork in the substitution on an F4U in place of the La-7. But this minor detail can be overlooked due to the comedy of the piece. Note, the artwork itself is still a bit low on quality and I would suggest contacting Urchin for a little help in that area.

Now on to the conversation at hand...Lars, a quick question before jumping to a conclusion.

1. What were you flying? (If the answer to this is LA-7 then you are a dweeb and I salute the pony drivers for frustrating you

Oh and there will be no need to answer any further questions)

2. What other AC were around when they engaged. Was there other enemy AC below them and you. If so then I would have done the same in hopes of drawing you away from friendlies and then killin ya. Unless of course you were in an LA-7, if so I salute them for frustrating you.

3. If they were in friendly territory and ran for no reason then they are dweebs and should be shot by there own countryman. Unless of course you were in an LA-7, if so I salute them for frustrating you.

well, Avid, for a start
Horn didn't make that, it was made by dumer, ages ago, when the chog was free and seen alot.

and an answer to 1, 2, 3: what would an el-gay-7 be doing up at 20k?

Shane · « **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2002, 05:37:13 PM »

plus, lars said he was in an f6.

i can speak as to why an la7 might be at 20k, tho...

proving that it can be effective up at alt, not the best, but effective if flown well.

I had a feeling that was going to be the answer. An update is needed, someone call Urchin!!!

They ran to A1...their base...funny thing was that they literally dove from 18-20K to the deck and IF I'm not mistaken, their wrists were hanging loose all the way down

Couple of panzies I tell ya

Hmmm.....two 51's don't run....they turn and fight....kill their opponents....both from the same squad....hmmmm....imagine that!
