Title: A huge salute to oldman
Post by: crazierthanu on January 22, 2009, 08:08:50 PM
Tonight in the blue I ran into Oldmans a8 against my p38j, It was one of the best fights I've ever had and by the end my joystick was soaked with sweat and I was slightly shaking. It was one of those fights you never want to end, and by far one of the best I've had in my AH career. That was one crazy arse fight, we got into a low flat scissors at least twice. I was surprised I eventually came out alive in the end, Oldman was by far the far better stick. I just want to through a huge <S> to you for the nice clean fight we had. I also want to salute to everyone last night at a7, that was one great fight. It lasted about an hour and It was hard won, I wouldn't have wanted to spend my evening any where else.

If it's the Oldman that flies in MW a lot, then I have nothing to say...he's easy meat and gets mad when you kill him  :)

I doubt we are talking about the same guy, or you approached the a fight in a dweebish way.
Oldman is a normally a class act.

Oldman22 is a great guy. Lot of fun to fight. He has improved in the 38 by a vast amount.

the nice clean fight we had.

It really was one of those memorable fights - in fact, so much so that I already mentioned it in the "Why are they leaving?" thread (at page 19).  I really appreciated that you stayed out of the first fight until it was over.  There is hope for the new generation.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the comments, and tequila I realize what your saying, after a certain amount of time you no longer care about the kill, It's the fight that matters  :aok

if he's easy meat, then i must REALLY suck. he's kilt me in virtually EVERY fair fight we've had, and a couple that i started off with an advantage.
 in fact, i think the ONLY kills i've ever gotten on him were picks.

ooo...and yes, the dude is ALWAYS fun to fight, and i've never seen him talk smack.

Oldman is a worthy opponent.  I had one of my most memorable against him in the AVA.  Spit 1 vs his 110C.  White Knuckle all the way!

You happen to have met him when he wasn't in his Hurricane.

As far as easy meat..... I don't think so
As far as getting mad... That's another one I find hard to believe. You must have done something dweebish in order to get a reponse out of him.

I've met him in almost ever possible plane matchup in MW..easy meat - YES....getting mad - YES (AKAK...that was funny that night  :lol)  Dweebish - I started with more alt as I had to climb a mountain to get to his base..I kept killing his perked Spit8 in my Spit 9.  He whined about it..so i go to the deck and lose all my E... I beat him and leave...3 or 4 Oldman22 kills in one sortie landed.

It doesn't take much skill to fly a Hurricane

First of all, my apologies to anyone who has me confused with the original Oldman, he is a far better stick and a great guy,,Secondly, we all have frustrating nights and i had one, might have said something harsh, but i wouldn't come out on a forum and bash, its counterproductive..I would like to say thanks for the compliments and to banshee..For reminding me that no matter how poor a pilot i am, having a little class and restraining from forum dumpster diving goes a long way.. and to AKAK who i respect, even though he kills me all the time, when Banshee said"AKAK can tell you how good i am", I flamed..of course I actually have learned from AKAK and Shuff, hadn't learned anything from Banshee.. :cool:

Heh, Banshee, we should meet some day.  Could be fun!

I very much have enjoyed the company of my southern friend Oldman22 when our paths have crossed.  I don't mind being confused with him at all (although one day soon I trust that he will throw aside that IIC pig and embrace the ballerina that is the Hurri I).

Appreciate all the nice comments, my ears are red.

I'm on almost every day, sir!  I love making new friends. 

Now for my above posts, what some of you may not believe, stickpig actually showed up, and guess what???  I made a new friend out of the whole deal.  That's just the way I am, I make more friends by talking crap on 200 and ruffling the otehr guys feathers, going to the DA to have a few fun 1v1s, and just basically talk to the guy.  I would say at LEAST 75% of my friends were made like that.  Falcnwng is a fine example.  Talked a lot of crap on 200 about him, DAed him, and now I LOVE flying with the BoPs on occassions.  Stickpig has been added to my fine list of friends in AH.  Oldman22, yes you have class, I will admit.  No, you're not just a horrible pilot, either.  But maybe, just maybe you will now understand me.  :)
