"you can practically feel the seven other guys breathing down your neck without even looking."


Are you talking about cons or the friendlies trying to steal your kill?

There are some in the 13th that always thought the most fun was mixing it up down in a low furball.

They were just patiently waiting for you to work your way through to the truth.

Hey!  RUDE, Dude..
Just have to add my .4 cents.  I've been doing this a Looong time (long story short).  It's now fun again, BnZ, Furball, TnB, Jabo,,

Gettn shot down in MA, is pretty much assumed if you get low/slow.  Some cheap-shot kill stealer SHALL (not MAY), come in and finish you off.  Just figure "it WILL be done", but your goal is to kill the one you came with, FIRST.

Anyways,, the main purpose of my writing is..

Running into YOU & your wingie yesterday.  I saw a pair of NME Spits, rolling round on one of my buds, near our airfield.

So, I race into the fray in a N1K, figuring on nailing at least 1 of you guys (u just blew my bud into pieces), with a glancing pass-by.

Nope, you both pull off in opposite directions, stall turn under, and I can't get a shot at NEITHER OF YOU!..  Yep.  U gotme w/i the first 2 flip-dee-flops..

I re-up in a Spit-IX, head back out.  You & yer wingie, low-slow, trying to make for home.  I zoom down (a high-alt base takeoff), and as I'm about 900' out, you both peel off, on que!, in opposite directions, (picture perfect execution, like in a Thunderbird freakn AIRSHOW!),,

I saw the picture perfect "pincer" that was being executed, and KNEW that I'm screwed before the first shot was fired..  (like in Butch-Cassidy & Sundance Kid: Quote:  "Who the hell ARE these guys?")

You are good.  Who was your wingie?  He is good.  As a coordinated ACM tag-team, I can not imagine any single fighter ever beating you guys..

Heyas RV6.....my wingy was WT...thanks for the props.

I'de take two of the 13th against any other two in the game and feel we had a good chance to win...we have fought together for along time and work well together....others I've seen who work well together are Levi and Nath....Urchin knows the drill and many of the BK's are to be taken seriously.

My task at hand is to improve my 1v1 and 1v2 or 3 skills....trust me, I'm far from the top in our squad....others are seriously better than I am.

I have committed my online time for the next 6 months to knife fighting...the sad fact is, at my age, it probably won't do any good:)

One aspect of this style of fighting that doesn't get much mention, is the ability to identify the aspect and energy of an opponent and to make a snap judgement....that ability gives you a definite initial advantage. My old mind is so worn out after a days work that I'm more suited for the 51...still, I'm committed so I'll see it through:)

Take care and I'll cyas Up!

Well, that depends on the setup in place at the time.

Some are as boring you state. Yet, others can provide a nice variation of aircraft.

The upcoming Finland-Russo setup provides much of the Luftwaffe aircraft, Soviet aircraft, including the La-5 and Yak-9T. Finns also get the FM-2 (substituting for and skinned like the Brewster Buffalo). If you're into heavy attack, the A-20G is included (was provided in large numbers under Lend-Lease).

The current variation on the Solomans campaign includes the F4F-4, F6F-5 and F4U-1, with the P-40E thrown in. Opposing these are the two Zeros, and the Ki-61.

Pilot quality is tremendous. Shane, Eskimo, Eagler, Leviathn, Nath, Daddog, Ripsnort, Kyle, Fester, Ammo, Frenchy, and Drex are regular participants during peak hours. Some nights, you can find all of the above in the arena. Furthermore, with just 30-100  total players in the arena, you can damn well count on fighting with or against the best the game has to offer. Last evening I was happy to see Rude drop by and spend some time flying P-40s. Like I indicated, this is a tough crowd.

Hold your own here, and you will prosper in the MA.

With limited DAR and 3k icon range, the environment is tougher than the MA, adding to the challenge.

It's a great place to sharpen old skills, and learn new ones.

My regards,

Widewing
