One of the best things about Aces High is getting lessons from the masters. Last night helping defend A1, I was hugely impressed with the way Citabria took control and stayed in control.
Solo,he came over A1 just high enough to tempt defenders into climbing for him. He would stay almost within reach, then just as attackers almost got the gun angle, nearly hanging on their props, he'd dip down and blast us. The degree in gun angles couldn't have been much, but his always hit and ours didn't.
I was impressed enough by his audacity to stalk him in subsequent sorties. I tried coming in higher and faster, sneaking up on the deck as he exited in the valley, pouncing on him when he was lower and hotly engaged, but always he was just out of my gunsights.
He was flying the 109G and using it perfectly for its vertical dominance. But he also evaded and stung horizontally and any other angle.
I started with La-5 and then shamelessly went to Typhoon and Chog to at least zoom and blast him. But to no avail. He was always the consummate matador to my hurtling bull (double entrendre intended).
Citabria was usually outnumbered. But he always controlled the situation, usually by retaining just enough alt advantage to tempt attack and then turn the tables on the attacker.
Bravo, Citabria! No wonder you're ranked 7 in fighters and 2 in bombers (although I haven't knowingly witnessed your bombing, I've probably tumbled into your craters somewhere).
Granted, my scores are near the bottom of Aces High, but I can still recognize genius and laud it accordingly as well as enjoy the game as much as anyone.

Oh jeez, we just finished enlarging that bubble canopy, and now we'll have to re-fit it another size larger...(Throws wrench against the hangar wall)...btw, which country was Cita flying in last night?

LOL Rip!

Citabria knocked down the Knit city and Knit ack factory repeatedly.... causing a total blackout of the ack's ability to respawn.... for a combined 5 HOURS, last night.
Cita was the FONZE!
-
Ah, so Knits musta been outnumbered, I noticed Cita likes to go where the numbers are... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Whatever else you say about the guy, he has mastered AH. Made the mistake of dueling him once in h2h. We went throug just about every plane. I don't think I touched him once (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Oh, I hit him last night, got his engine. He fled (as he should have) to his ack immediately. I knew it was him, and wanted to finish him even if it meant getting tagged by ack. It got me first:
Server: Citabria has killed you.
Kieran: No, you didn't (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Citabria: Fools
Naturally that prevented any compliment I might have had being delivered. Maybe he flew that 109 well, maybe he didn't. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The inherent beauty of being down to one base is completely missed by many; with no dar you have to watch every dot. You have to approach everything high and low as though it was an enemy. You know the enemy is coming, it is only a matter of which direction and how many. Shoot, I wish the dar was down all the time. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

We might not have been outnumbered by 1 country, but the great Conglomerated BishRookCo Enterprises© had us outnumbered, cornered, and down to 2 fields on our HQ island. Through some nice teamwork, and a well-timed diversion attack on a4, we were able to retake our HQ island. <S> to all the Knights who helped in the breakout last night.

Paint, you got something very wrong in your post about Citabria.
HE IS NOT KING O' THE DWEEBS!!!!
There is no king, there is only the Dweebmaster of Dweebery and he reigns from the Dweebdom of Dweebland... and that'd be me.
So don't go getting anything mixed up, I am the highest in the dweeby dweeb chain.
Get it straight you lowly dweeb!

Citabria vs NathBDP, now there's a duel I'd pay for to see.
Nath is of course 9./JG 54, so I am not worried about the outcome (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Lol I wonder if those two would ever stop talkin' smack long enough to even begin the duel. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yup, Santa, except you would be secretly wishing they would both lose.... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
