LOL...yeah, I wish.

I only had time for a couple of quick fights last night, these two did nothing more than waste my time and test my temper, I will hunt them now

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.


Yeah, I killed ALF's 17K La7 1/2 minute before these dweebs tried their first HO...wasn't a true 3v1 'cause ALF died so quickley :D

Isn't that an oxymoron if you were up at 20K?

I tend try to engage in quality fights where an unwanted intruder will have a hard time joining in, 20-22K is a nice alt to find those kind of fights.

Plus, well, the timing of my bodily functions shouldn't be an issue here :D

Actually one benefit of extending when out numbered is that one of the bandits will follow, after all others have disapeared & the die hard is 1.5 back. its time to do it one on one.....so even though its 3 to 1 in the enemies favor you can get a fair match without going to the DA.....but i guess since i'm in the 51 its really not fair

Why are dweebcats, dweebfires and other assorted turn-n-burners such whiners when others don't play their version of Quakes High?  I mean how lame can you be to fly around chasing others around in circles all day?  Seems about as lame and brainless as someone running on a hamster wheel.

Now- Before anyone gets bent out of shape by the above...

The point of the question is meant to demonstrate what a silly whine this thread is by making a statment equally as ludicrous.

Fly what you like, fly it the way you like, and don't let anyone dictate to you how you should fly ;).

spoken like a true master of the 20 mile extend and reverse when you have 15 buddies to help you kill the slow slow bogey you ran from.

Naw.. it's just like in real life. Those hooved cretins are never alone.

 When a Pony "extends" away, I have no problem with that.

 When it becomes a "rolleyes-situation" is when he comes back again, tries it again, then "extends" again. Then, the guy comes back with another P-51, and they do the same thing all over again.

 Then, they both "extend away" again, and then comes back later, and brings yet another P-51 with them. The three planes try doing the same thing again, then "extends away" again, and finally, they don't come back.

 After something like this is done, I watch my fuel guage and murmur "well, that was another fine waste of my 30 minutes" :)

I myself dont understand how it is fun to stay alive...

For me Fun in this game is too go out where i can find many bogies and engage them all and this sort of a thing is what keeps me in AH.  But i guess everyone has their own way of having fun.
But for me this is what i do.  I roll and i probebly wont come back but hey as long as im happy im cool.

And there is a certain feeling you get after you kill 3  of the bogies that enaged you all at once and you came out of it alive, that adreline pumps.  This is what i LOVE.   =S=

There also good p51 pilots
the stang is capable to do a dogfight

however my 38 shot 18 of them for just 3 losses :D

i almost drool when i see one

NB,Zaphod,midnight (some guys who knows how to drive it)

for the rest the stang is like a spitfire  the first thing people think of when u have to think about a WO2 USA fighter.

so hordes of sheep drive it.

Man... people that run in a p-51 just piss me off.  They should be running in a real plane like a Dora.

:rolleyes:
