Moose, I appologize for “conspiracy” insinuations. Also, statements about you pilot skill were out of line, but right there we needed experienced sticks, not newbies or AH newcomers. Seems this all has been bad coincidence and it was my mistake not to recognize our number disparity.
Sorry about that

. My mistake.
We also had Wulgaru, Minus and Niteflyr who have been turned down while they tried to join LW team. It was simply too late for that, since we announced 10 vs 10 and Nash called for no more walkons. Sorry, but I missed you on the runway and only became aware when I saw you in our formation. The rest I already explained.
Toad, I don’t fly for living. I base my opinions on what I have read on WW2 air combat. So my experience is not even close to the real life pilot. But range finders ? Aiming aids ? IFF at 5 miles ? E state indicators ?
Right now a cannon Hog can BnZ from 5 miles distance, opening up at 1000 yards and hitting, due to all aiming aids. WW2 ? Nope.
As for arrogance ? By all means yes. I was arrogant from the start and of course I am now. Part of me was trolling, but in most part I believed in what I was saying. Just look at The Rumble intro. Those P 51 pinheads deserve all the Luftwaffe bragging. Maybe they wouldn’t gloat so much if we lost. Maybe they would. But they lost. And ghosts don’t brag

. It is just part of the fight.
Not to be forgotten, opportunists have also made statements that just ask for this gloating. Rude ? Torque ? And Hangtime, to lesser extent. Go watch Rumble intro. Those guys need this and it is damn nice to be able to gloat about it. Where is now “tidbit of crappola”, “full of Crappolla Trophy”, "bunch of bull" whatever ? You need another RoE favoring your side ? You need LW flying 109E ? P 51s lost it. Luftwaffe won. And boy do I like to brag about it

.
Still, I don’t take it so serious Hang seems to be taking it. Blame me for whatever you like, but bragging feels just great. You think some LW types are arrogant ? You are right. But not more than the arrogancy of P 51 opportunists. So the victory is even sweeter.
And yes, Rude, Torque and Hangtime, do not forget:
The best pilots are always Luftwaffe !------------------
