You guys were well organized today and out-flew us in our event today.
Never the less, we had fun and look forward ot our next fight.
If anybody from Team USA or Europe have good film to post, please do so.

I got booted after the third round and couldn't get back on. Why was Drbone who is a American flying for the Brits?

we examined his family tree and found that he was 1/4 irish and it goes all the way back to the potato famine.
I asked raider whether he had picked bone to fly with you guys and he said no.

lolz u picked a American guy to fly with the UK in a USA v UK fight... Just seemed more like USA vs the Few.

we did make up 50% of the pilots because we are the largest Euro squad.
I for one enjoyed the fighting, was pretty intense!

So after Junky's post let me explain what it was all about.
SE Raider some weeks ago asked me whether it be possible to get a one off 11 vs 11 matchup organised in the DA composed of the best sticks we could find for a Ryder Cup style America Vs Europe fight.
Using the Squadron Dueling league rules as a guide we fought 5x 1 life rounds in the following planes;
Spit 9, 109K4, F6F5, F4U 1A, Ki-84, the participants were as follows;
Team America;
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c181/Bruv119/TA.jpg)
SE Raider, Tonyjoey, Krupinski, snaphook, froger, lossuns, violater, muzik, sads and juggler
Team Europe;
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c181/Bruv119/EUFLAG.jpg)
(GBR) Bruv119, Kazaa, Greebo, Airbull, RTHolmes (GER) Dhyran, (SUI) Viperius, Sveno (ITA) Chewi and (1/4 Irish) DrBone
Results
Round 1 10 vs 10, Europe had 8 planes left.
Round 2 10 vs 10 America had 7 planes left.
Round 3 10 vs 10 Europe had 8 planes left.
Round 4 9 vs 9 Europe had 7 planes left.
Round 5 9 vs 9 Europe had 6 planes left.
End result: Team Europe wins 4-1
If you wanted to get involved with this type of action we do have the Squadron Dueling league to arrange matches against other squadrons. On July 1st we will be starting the Official Second season of SDL and reset the current ladder back to zeros. It has been on going for the last 18 months and we have had over 50 matchups.
With the amount of squadrons in AH to only have 12 prepared to do battle is a little low IMO, So you have up until the July 1st to get signed up :aok
We are also looking to do a monthly KOTH type event but with squadrons that anyone with 6 or more players will be able to participate in.
:salute
I was hoping we could make this a bi-annual or yearly event.

I fly under the British flag my CO is Bruv which makes me apart of the British team even though i am American i myself was not considered a spot with the American group for that reason you should be mad :lol really enjoyed the fights and :salute to All who participated :D
-
Bone told me that he wasn't picked for the U.S team, their loss, being that he wanted in on the action.
After all he's 1/4 Irish, that counts still, right? :rofl
Was just a little bit of fun suns, no need for drama.
<S> Team U.S.A.

Lol, DrBone should have been on the America side, otherwise not have participated in that themed event. Nice job though, not like it matters. :aok

I take responsibility for this one DrBone. I should have considered you and I completely forgot and would have loved to have had you on our team. I wrongly associated you with European with the FEW and should have not done so. So to my teammates, this is my mistake and it won't happen again. :cry
Again DrBone, i did not mean to snubb you sir. :salute

Just sayin... hes from ohio :noid

Raider no offense taken bud i did want to be on the USA team but was honost mistake <S> Raider im sure the next 1 will go diff with me there to help :devil

Well, maybe not.

I had fun and hope to get an invite for the next one.
I would like to say that i was hoping to learn more from the fights but S/A took up all my attention.
still great fun though.
I wouldn't mind doing some 1v1 with some of you guys from both sides, would like to improve some.
thanks

There are rumors circulating the interwebz that DrBone is not 1/4 irish and in fact injected synthetic Irish rum into his veins. More news to come from the International Cartoon Drug Testing Agency soon, pending the results of a blood test that DrBone reluctantly provided.

Was it that bad?

From a position of limited knowledge I wouldn't know what a top "Team America" would look like. Who would people nominate? I reckon our own Dr Bone, Bamboo and Cobra Jet would be well worth considering as well as Grizz, Tonyjoey, Kermit, Joker, snaphook and possibly Floatsup. Other than that I can't think of any US aces but as I said through ignorance as much as anything.
It would be interesting to see what players or combinations people can come up with here? I am sure with around 80% of the players the US should have an excellent talent base to select from.

Please don't post your opinions on this forum anymore.

Your not worried we will get beaten are you :D
Seriously I would be surprised if they genuinely got their best against our best and they didn't win given there are over 4000 players in the game and so many are pottential flyers for team America. It is perhaps becase they are a so much larger community it is harder to pull in the top 10 or eleven. In addition the European team is probably much more accustomed to flying together.
Anyway that is enough opinion for now :o

Not a chance.

SunsFan, Krupnski, Grizz, Lazer, SERaider, TonyJoey, DrBone, Bosco, Kermit, (last spot could be anyone TC,J0ker, snaphook, Agent)
If I were the coach of the American team.....I wouldnt play until I had that line up all on.
It be like the movie Miracle but the American team wouldnt have any chance of losing....
you know what Im sayin :D

You have to remember the Euro team are about half from one squad and therefore know how to fly together.

junky,
the better Team wins, not the group with better 1vs1 pilots. That a huge difference!
i will cut a movie tonight, but don't expect too much, fights was quicky done mostly

No way I'm in that crowd if your really looking for a "top 20" team, just to many guys who have better all around game. But it was fun and I appreciated the thought.... :airplane: :joystick: :neener: :furious :furious :furious :noid

After all these years, I do not know Lute, but why take away Suns? He's a great fighter. I was glad to have him.

Honestly I always forget about Lute and KillnU has been as active as he used to be lately(maybe thats just me not being as active). But your definately right about Lute needing to be in there.......KillnU though....I got a score to settle with him :D

Couldnt agree more, but teamwork requires alot of SA on part of the people that are on the team. Also I think since most of them fight eachother very often 1v1 they know how they will fight in a bigger fight.
Let me put it like this, I know Grizz is going to hit whatever he gets his nose on, so if Im setting up a shot for him Im going to put myself in more danger because I would trust that he isnt going to miss.
You know what Im sayin?

I dont see in the DA all that often

The one thing about these rumbles is that gunnery trumps ACM. 3 of the 5 fights I got 1 pinged and in 2 of the 3 I felt like I was giving a very marginal shot window while trying to clear someone else. In all 3 cases I had already had multiple shot windows I couldn't convert. I'm slowly learning that I actually need to fly much more aggresively in these then I do in a true 1 v 1 since I have no chance to make a positive impact unless I do so. Finally just went all in from beginning on the last one and got 2...but I give all the credit to Bruv and the Euro's they fly very very well as a bunch....
-

I don't think anyone was snubbed as much as it was thrown together on short notice. I certainly appreciated the invite but I'm not even top 5 in my own squad.
-
Dhyran, did you film the fights?
Kazaa,
i ran fraps, i dont use the AH flim viewer, its just not user friendly enough ;)
-
we had 2 weeks notice. I hear what everyone is saying about the lineups but unfortunately R/L gets in the way of things.
I didn't field the team I wanted to but I think all of us that flew, apart from Greebo, have participated in several SDL matches whereas the US team have not. As snap said it is far more about quick gunnery and SA than raw flying ability. The teamwork aspect is also very important.
You could field the best 10 indivadual pilots and they may not work well together... Thats what makes these fights very interesting because anything can happen.
-
To Bruv119's point above,
Their team just had better ideas and tactics that got them the results they deserve. They won hands down.
We can talk about dream-teams, but it is as useless as male nipples imho.
I am happy with the team we put together because the 10 guys that were there (11 if I did not make the mistake on DrBone :uhoh), were guys that made a commitment to be there. I have respect for guys who made it to the event as they promised and made this event possible. The guys that said they be there and did not, things happen and I am not mad about it. Things just happen. I asked about 20-25 different people. So if I missed some of those name that were recommended here, I'll give it consideration on the next go-around.
As far as I am concerned, I had the best 10 pilots that were there for each other, when they said they would. If you want to put a "dream-team," versus the 10 guys that were out there on Sunday, I'll take the same guys again. They made it, I am loyal to them, and I think it be a better showing in results too if we had to go at it again.
To the guys who made it on both sides, I salute you.

I don't think anyone was snubbed as much as it was thrown together on short notice. I certainly appreciated the invite but I'm not even top 5 in my own squad.
I never said anyone was snubbed snap. You're Top 5 and live up to your BBS handle. :salute

Results are in. DrBone has tested positive for trace amounts of a synthetic Irish rum found in his blood. These findings counter the "1/4 Irish" explanation, and invalidate it as a fabrication. DrBone's PR campaign is tight lipped on the subject matter but our sources close to DrBone, who wish to remain anonymous, are eluding to a full denial and lawsuit being filed on DrBone's behalf. These accusations and resultant turmoil are causing a cyclone of negativity to surround the international Olympic Dueling Event and cast shadow on the event's integrity for future scheduled events. Olympic Dueling President Bruv119, has no comment.

DB 1/4 irish :rofl you guys making me smile before I go to bed. Didn't know anything about this sounds fun maybe I can join in on the next one.
