Title: Summer time Blues!
Post by: Cajunn on June 11, 2009, 01:51:11 AM
    Is it just me are does everyone notice that the last few weeks have been tough in the MA, I can take the Ho's and the being jumped but I bet I have been rammed more in the last few weeks then ever before. They come in hot and if they miss the shot they just run into you, what in the world is going on. And since when did this new defensive move start where it seems they just jerk the stick all over the place, and I learned if you wait a second they just level out and fly straight because you know they move the stick to fast. Sheeewwww tough summer so for................

I got rammed for the first time yesterday in like 4 months. I really think it's because I can avoid it instead of flying in a straight path into the fighter.

Had a guy today in a p-47 moving his stick up and down. When he moved it up, the plane would immediately point straight up. Then he'd point it down and  would do the same thing. Was like it just changed directions in a fraction of a second. After about 10 or more of those he finally gave up.

Been seeing lots of big time NEGATIVE G and bomber/fighter bail crap too.


Oh, and AKAK runs from co alt to slight advantage fights now.(http://thesquad.forumotion.net/users/a9/77/24/39/smiles/792423.gif)

I completely agree with you Cajunn.  For example, yesterday I was rammed every flight yesterday except for 1.  That 1 that I didnt get rammed was the only time I got to land.  Wasnt even just getting rammed from the front or back of the plane but I was actually getting rammed from the side.  I figure a lot of these had to be intentional because shots werent even fired.

As I said to the my fellow country mates on country channel, I did that to piss you off and get a good laugh at you will doing it.  And no, I wasn't coalt, I had to climb to your altitude and you still kept climbing so I decided then to see how long I can make you chase me.  No offense, but as I showed you in our previous fight, I really don't have a favorable impression of your flying skills.  I hope you didn't sprain that wrist with all that stick stirring you did, wouldn't want to you to ruin your love life.

Speaking of Negative G's. I got an E-Ticket ride on my way to Spokane, Wa. We got a message ref: severe weather in a quardant we were heading towards. High tops, thunderstorms, moderate turbulence, etc, etc. We turned West to deviate around it. Our radar showed we deviated enough West to clear it so we turned back to our original heading. We saw a set of lower clouds on the western edge of the weather and continued on. As we began to go over the smaller clouds the bottom fell out of the plane. It only lasted about 6 seconds but every manual (read 5 lbs each) along with everything else was at eye level the whole time. We pitched back up right into heavy hail. lots of deflecton of aileron was requied to keep the wings level until we hit the 2nd part of the E-Ticket ride, Another fall and all the trash and manuals in the cockpit was back up at eye level again. What a ride!!!

lol  Last night I was exiting a fight with 4 kills under my belt in a Spit XVI.  I looked back and there was a Spit VIII 6-800 yards out coming in fast from slightly above me.  It startled the cr*p out of me and I jerked the stick inadvertantly which sent me into the flopping fish manouver.  It's the fist and only time I've ever done that and it saved my bacon.  I didn't even take a ping as the VIII overshot and as he did I regained control and was on his six.  No, I didn't get the kill as another friendly dropped in before I got a shot off.

Not saying recently. Back when you flew MA. I never ever saw someone run so much with a co-alt plane and if there happened to be two of us you disappeared from the arena you flew so far away. Fool and I figured, yep, just another spin dweeb. We never chased you because there were more thanenough targets around. :LOL.

My experience with getting rammed is usually when I'm in with someone else and a guy comes blazing through so fast trying to pick that he can't move the controls.  When I break into them to try and get them to miss, they plow right through me.  It's generally in a crowd.  It doesn't happen in smaller fights or 1 v 1s.

 Common AKAK...your scared to engage anyone unless you have plenty of alt. Your the rope king,,, and it's the only strategy you use.

Our first fight was you looking for someone to in on that was already fighting as ALWAYS. You came in and took a couple of my guns and an important part. I dove and avoided being killed the rest of the way. You climbed and i followed but you did not think I had the E and scored a few hits. I stalled, lost control and you came in missing the kill again. I DON'T STICK STIR but THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE at the end of every fight i have ever beat you in,  :rofl    :cry

Me and you have very different styles. I never run and fight till dead, out of ammo, or so damaged it just makes no sense. I hardly ever land but i make a lot of kills and don't feel bad about getting killed.

I don't film much but heres one of me asking you to fight and you refusing.

 http://download193.mediafire.com/zpyrjcqg0mdg/qhuzhmnzzzk/AKAK+runs+again_.ahf


You ran because you know i can beat you. I started with a 1.5 to 2k advantage and you ran, I chased then you went to your field for protection. I said screw it and turned away then you began to follow but climbing...so I climbed as well. When I turned back in on you, you ran again and complained you made a mistake on how much fuel you had saying you were out. I left disgusted and went to go kill something. Seems like your doing the most lying in this thread.

Critique these films and you'll see i never run, HO, or stir my stick..I have plenty of chances to do all three and chose not to.

Funny how the reputation sticks.  Kinda like Steve in his 51 always picking, even though I've seen him fighting on the deck too.  Very silly stuff.

Absolutely no doubt AKAK is a very capable 38 stick and can be found on or near the deck at times.

 He fly's smart, i don't. He gets upset when killed, I don't. He runs from fights when not to his advantage, i don't. He likes to cause trouble, i don't. He likes to whine,..... I sometimes do  http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_redface.gif ...but that's besides the point.

It's just a game, have fun and fly. Try not to pizz ppl off and if someone goes hunting for ya, hunt them back. It's a great game! I love flying all the planes, even if I do suck in a few of them.

Sorry ... but I call BS on the "urban myth".

I have flown with and against AKAK many times in the MW arena and the main arena before the split.

The many times that I have winged with him, we were never higher than 5-7K when we entered the fray and many of those sorties we both ended up on the deck fighting 2 v many ... until they were ALL dead. I have sat at 5K or above and watched him dispatch many below me with some sweet P-38 flying, so that BS that he needs alt or an advantage to win is just that ... BS.

The many times I have fought him ... many times I had alt on him and many times he had alt on me ... and some we were co-alt ... and never did he once run from the fight ... and most times he handed me my arse and there were a few times that I schooled him in my F6F, and when it was all over ... nothing but respect and salutes.

Don't know where you and Ren are coming from on this, don't really care, but I will fly with and against AKAK any day of the week and twice on Tuesday.

What I saw is what I saw. Because I never mentioned it doesn't mean it never happened.

Perhaps you capped so he could get in low without getting tagged? I coulda sworn I mentioned that.

Perhaps there is truth to urban myths?

I have nothing against him at all. If the kettle is black...I'm sure not gonna call it stainless steel.

He does have one problem. He cannot take any kind of criticism, can he? He responds with his own line of garbage that bring little value to anything other than stupid name calling.

I have been around long enough to have seen just about anybody who is "anybody" do all sorts of things (run, rope, pick, ho, etc) ... but that doesn't make it something that they do all the time ... which includes you.

Perhaps you capped so he could get in low without getting tagged? I coulda sworn I mentioned that.

Perhaps you missed the part where I said that the both of us fought from alt to the deck vs many ... no one flying cap ... both engaged the whole time calling targets and each other's 6.

I'm saying this as someone who genuinely dislikes Ack-Ack as a person: Even if everything you said about Ack-Ack's flying style was a 100% true, there would be no need to defend himself from such nonsense "charges".

Let me get this straight...the P-38 is a plane with excellent vertical performance and excellent turbo-charging. The clear implication of these facts is of course that a high cruising altitude with a view towards engaging with positive E-fighting tactics, especially against the many airplanes that have a wing-loading, power-loading, and/or top speed advantage at low alt, is unacceptably dweebish and unmanly???? Mmmmmmmmmkay... :rolleyes:

You seem to be mudslinging at another pilot because he (allegedly) doesn't fly his 38 like a kamikaze. You allege Ack-Ack "cares" about getting "killed"...well hell...even if true why do you CARE about the fact he cares?!? That is on a whole 'nother level of getting worked up over trivialities IMO. Another thing, Ack-Ack has enough perk points to buy a whole air force of Tempests or F4U-4s, yet there he is, day in, day out, flying the P-38 in MA conditions where it is not exactly the best or easiest plane.





Absolutely no doubt AKAK is a very capable 38 stick and can be found on or near the deck at times.

 He fly's smart, i don't. He gets upset when killed, I don't. He runs from fights when not to his advantage, i don't. He likes to cause trouble, i don't. He likes to whine,..... I sometimes do  http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_redface.gif ...but that's besides the point.

They come in hot and if they miss the shot they just run into you, what in the world is going on. And since when did this new defensive move start where it seems they just jerk the stick all over the place, and I learned if you wait a second they just level out and fly straight because you know they move the stick to fast. Sheeewwww tough summer so for................

Last night I had a guy up two different Tempys to kill my B-17s enroute to make a CV go glug glug.  Each time he ran into me, killing himself...so then he ups a 110 and dies just as quick, followed by uping in a Dora to meet the same fate.  It was priceless.

So I shot him and his buddies down a few more time's, and you would think they would realize what a rope was after the first couple of time's, hu! live and learn.

I'm saying this as someone who genuinely dislikes Ack-Ack as a person: Even if everything you said about Ack-Ack's flying style was a 100% true, there would be no need to defend himself from such nonsense "charges".

Let me get this straight...the P-38 is a plane with excellent vertical performance and excellent turbo-charging. The clear implication of these facts is of course that a high cruising altitude with a view towards engaging with positive E-fighting tactics, especially against the many airplanes that have a wing-loading, power-loading, and/or top speed advantage at low alt, is unacceptably dweebish and unmanly???? Mmmmmmmmmkay... :rolleyes:

You seem to be mudslinging at another pilot because he (allegedly) doesn't fly his 38 like a kamikaze. You allege Ack-Ack "cares" about getting "killed"...well hell...even if true why do you CARE about the fact he cares?!? That is on a whole 'nother level of getting worked up over trivialities IMO. Another thing, Ack-Ack has enough perk points to buy a whole air force of Tempests or F4U-4s, yet there he is, day in, day out, flying the P-38 in MA conditions where it is not exactly the best or easiest plane.

It's nonsense? When he goes out of his way to tell new guys how much he laughs at them as he runs? He's a joke!!!

MA doncha mean MW?  :lol hehehehehehehe

You ever read any of his old posts in the forums?  If you haven't, they are worth the laugh.

Actual conversation in TA?


ack-ack


I'm sorry to say yes. Best thing was when he used the vox. I would put money down that he wasn't a day over 10. He was later booted for shooting people in the runway.

Unfortunately this type of thing happens way to often. Almost every time I go into the TA I see some kid saying that they are a trainer. Then you have people that are new that sometimes fall for it. What happens then is like the blind leading the blind. IMO people that say they are trainers when they aren't should get their test privileges muted for a week. If they want to help then there is no problem with that, but to give people the idea that you are something you are not only hurts the game.

For what it's worth, I got rammed 5 flights in a row.  3 times it was from guys who didn't know what the throttle was and ran through me from behind.
