If you say it that way, this might just be the best event after scenarios, but could we make one in European times please...

Thank you Roscoroo...I'll be there. Was just thinking about quiting last night...you boosted ny hope :salute
-
I'll see if I can make it :)

This might just save my tuesdays :aok

Hoping to make it sounds like fun. <S>

Just asking as I've never see this event before. From the limited description it sounds like there will be a lot of planes meeting for engagements at the same time, willy nilly. In other words, a full combat situation though slightly restricted with the 2v1 rule.
So I'm curious, how is the 'No HO' rule going to be enforced, if at all? Or is it? See the problem? (at least by the instructions given so far)
If you allow any shot from a nose-to-nose aspect, when is it HO, and given lag issues, how can you tell? Do you expect only nose-to-tail shots to be taken? If so, then rules should define that. Given the inevitable lag, how can you consider anyone's complaint to be accurate when they call someone on a HO?
Just wondering. :aok
-
Its not a Official event yet . but could be if there's enough interest .
its more of a old school AH1 style get together when we hunted each other out just to try to beat the guy/gal that was better then us.
when you leave out the ho you get a longer better fight and learn alot more then going for the ho/who has best pc/connect/ect wins the lucky shot .
You'll have to try it ... :aok
-
Cya there

Thank God I have off this week am IN(http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x100/scot12b/Owned.gif)

This sounds very promising......... :aok
-
I'm in, Had a blast the first time :aok
-
:aok "X" a few others I'll be dragging in

The 190 is a great dogfighter.

That would be the wee hours. 6-9pm PST is 2-5am in the real world.

No "4th man in"...let all fights at 1-2 odds alone
{if a red guy has 2 green on him let it go till a green guy dies}
If the red guy dispatches a green guy and the fight is low and slow it would be courteous to allow the 1 on 1 to finish and if the red guy dispatches the 2nd green guy allow the red guy to regain some alt and speed before engaging.
(being this is supposed to be about ACM)
-
Stickpig ,That wasn't really a problem last time. If it becomes so then I'll adjust the rules .
-
Fantastic.
Will it be choice of plane or is there a specfic ride?
-
Stickpig,
We had a large cadre of "old school" sticks, by and large all of "us" will let anything we see happening play out. I was in a 4 on 4 that was actually 4 one on one's superimposed by chance. We all passed up shots and stuck to our fights. I actually had to hold fire a couple of times as both green and red flew thru my flight path. I doubt we'll have any problems but if we do it will be easily dealt with.
-
Had a blast thanks for putting this together Ros <S> hope to see it here next Tues.
-
Great time..hope to see you next Tuesday...and Thursday would be good too....and uhhh Saturday.... :D

nice fights
-
Had a blast roscoo thanks for running...even though grizz used me as a punching bag. :confused:
Will this be a weekly event? :salute
-
I had a blast as well. (Even though I got schooled by Batfink in his mossie)
-
Great fights!
-
Great fights!
:lol
-
Hope it's hosted again. :pray
I missed it last night due to things that came up at the end of the day. :mad:
I was really looking foward to it.
-
Ros!!
had an awesome time! the fights were great despite the fact that i was treated like the low budget welfare hooker chained in the basement of an S&M brothel!
i shot down moot!
Batfink i soooooooo owe you and that damn mossie! if you should happen to receive a care package full of termites.......... they were great fights, what was it 5 in a row? maybe 6, you had me paranoid about approaching anything bigger than a zeek.
that is until TOOLS beat me stupid in 2 back to back encounters in his KI! then i thought fishing may be a good line of work.
that was about the time i decided to do some ride alongs with Scotch (who by this time had already managed to demolish a considerable number of my cartoon air planes) at least when i was riding along with Scotch i wasnt reupping a new ride every 90 seconds like clock work!
Stodd, did anybody ever tell you you should be a muppeteer!? damn your skill in german iron is impressive! great fights, you repetitively showed me the error of my ways!
GRIZZ!!!!!!!! you are such a MUPPETCIDAL MANIAC!!!!!!!! that pretending to be out of fuel thing at the end..... i will get even with you!!
i shot down moot! i shot down moot! i shot down moot!
and everyone else that was there thank you for the fun! it was all good!
I hope this can become a weekly event, it is definitely many steps above being stuck in the ma on tt.
thanks again Ros <S>
FLOTSOM
p.s. i dont know if i mentioned this yet, but I SHOT DOWN MOOT!!!!!!!!!!
(and as i am fairly certain that no one has film of the event it is my firm position that i did not sneak up and pick him while he was in a stall!)
-
I had a great time, thanks rosco!!
-
I missed it... was at my shop till 9. Will try making it next week or next time. Sounds like a good setup.
-
I had a great time as well. Was a lot of fun.
There were a few guys there that were not respecting the rules but as the night went on they got it. I loved the one on ones and with cross country lines open on CH 250 it made things easy to call out your prey.
I stated out in a spit8 but traded it quickly for an FM2, then switched to a C202 which believe it or not got me the most kills of the night. Later on it was the Ki-61 which also turned out to be a great little plane. Salute to all who attended and Thanks very much Roscoroo!
-
Awsome night Ros, thanks so much!
Allied, god darn you! Every time I upped I ran into a Hurri 2c flown by allied, next ping, Zeke makes a nice bbq! Awsome fun!
Then it was D3A Time! FLOTSOM! You are one heck of silly bugger you know that? D3A V P38, time after time! If it wasn't you it was Cactus! Great fights all round! Flotsom, I know alot of us were trying out the D3a with success, but a STUKA??????? :rofl :rofl :rofl That made my night! <S> To all who flew, and the only time I had 3v1 was a complete mistake! Thansk for keeping to the rules and making a fun time! I think next time im going to keep in my zeke to improve my ACM properly.
Thanks for an awsome night all!
P.S - To save confusion, I was flying under Serenity's handle last night!
-
that 15 minute long duel with u in the D3A was excellent!! even with the superior climb and acceleration rates of the 109K4 didnt give me the edge on you. you flew it brilliantly. if ur targeting skill was just a touch better i would have died at least a dozen times in that one fight, thank god for intardnet lag!!
<SALUTE>
-
Damn intardnet! It was an amzing duel, an dI was so annoyed when the G6 came in and got me! At first I thought it was you, I had been distracted by the G6, so I thought you'd called in help and then swung round and got me. As it was, I was really closing on you, if that G6 hadn't come in, I would have got you on the next past, thats a certain. <S> though, Awsome fight, and I think I filmed it as well!

thanks again for your efforts, hope we get to do it again soon!
-
I think I was first in the D3A last night :D

I think I might have the film.. I'll post it if I find it.

:eek: :lol
It was a lot of fun. No other event or arena guarantees this sort of air combat. I can't wait for the next one. Was nice to see some old names, too.
<S> to Roo and thanks to HTC for letting us have this furball event.
-
Had a blast getting my aft end handed to me by everybody! The simplest planes were the ones that would give me the most trouble. Kept running into those D3As thinking, "Here's an easy kill". Next second "ping ping, what's this!?!".
Hope to see another event like this soon. Had much more fun than your average spin through the MA's. :salute
-
I thought maybe someone would post some films. I only made 5, Here are 4 if you want to see what it looked like in there. For the most part everything was pretty well organized and most followed the rules...some did not :(
Whats interesting about the films is that you can switch to other people and see who, what and how they were flying....until I died that is :furious
:rofl :salute to all

LOL ,, 20 pelts falling out .. Great E management there Moot !!!
the Second fight Was looking good til your tail went swimming ... Looks like I had the adv with that spiral climb I used that time . (oops releasing Secrets again) I may have got ya that time anyway.
You can learn alot from the other guys view and plane management .
<S> and Thanks for the films
-
Roscorro, any chance of rehosting the event? Seemed to have peaked a lot of interests, and those who made it seem to have had a ball.
