Look for the 51 in the lake cherry picking and talking trash.

ADog can pack a good amount of skill in a p51 if he tries, his tactic is mostly High alt Boom and Zoom, but as said many times its part of the game.
Sounds like you have a bone to pick with Adog, uptown. :D if so do it in the DA <<<---

Im sorry but that does not take much at all to do. Most of the time unless the guy is AFK it's tough to get a kill since you are screaming in at 500mph and can't move your nose around much.
Off topic, but I figured I'd throw that in there.

Nope no bone to pick. I can whip him any day of the week. He knows it, this is why he runs when i get up there to him. Let me explain something to you. When I log in to the DA, the first thing I do is check everyones K/D and go looking for the big boys first. Do you know why they have such good K/D in the dueling arena? Because they pick you while you're on the deck fighting others. This my friend is not skill. This is picking to make your K/D look good for folks that haven't figured that out yet. Anyone who has to grab to 15K over the lake is lacking in the skill department.You call it style or skill if ya want, but i'll continue to call it lame. :aok

Here's a recent observation from the DA. I up in my squad's FSO ride to get some stick time. I t/o, level at 6k and fly towards the nearest group of red. Of course they're on the deck, so I decided to watch them fight for a bit. All three of them were flying in opposite circles taking HO shots at each other. There was no maneuvering, changing of speed or altitude. They were all happy to HO each other to death. Then I looked up to see the TEMP screaming down from on high. I avoid his shot, fly back to my base, land and head back to the MA.
Oh, and so I can be somewhat on topic.....There was a JAG31st in a GV battle last night.

Hey, at list you made a safe landing int the DA :lol

I think calling someones flying abilities lame, clearly may be alright for some, but i would never say such a thing.
The guy can land lots of victories how can that be lame ? is it only lame to you because he could be putting he's skills to greater use ? you can't order someone to fly the way you wish, so is picky on their flights ways going to solve it ?

Pretty simple actually, it requires absolutely no skill.

Ok dude picture this. Two boxers in the ring. Spectator comes out of audience and hits boxer #1 in back of head, knocking him out. Spectator is awarded KO. Spectator goes home and lands knockout. Spectator does this every friday nite for 6 months. Spectator is 24 and 0.
Buck proclaims spectator pound for pound best boxer out there.
Just because I can jump in the ring and hit Brock Lesner with a bat while he is in the middle of a match doesn't make me a MMA fighter.
Do you REALLY think that picking a few guys and going to rearm until you have 6 or 8 kills makes you a good cartoon pilot?

No it does not make you good, but I've known people who BnZ and pick, and never return to the rearm pad with a single kill, not even 8 kills in one run with a p-51 such as adog has done.
People tell me this game takes lots of skill, yet their is people who say ones like Adog who has played for years no skill, or at least the move he does (BnZ high) takes no skill. this makes no sense, clearly its just a lot of madness on how many dislike those who do nothing but this type of tactic (BnZ).
If you guys like it or not, any move you do has to have some percentage of skill :lol, its how the games runs, theirs many BnZers, but usually, They tend to be the best shooters.

They tend to be the best shooters? :rofl Yeah whatever Buck. I think we've hijacked this thread enough and nothing I say will change your mind so believe what you will and I'll do the same.

muuuhahahahaaaa, you'll never know my true age, I've heard the song off of youtube.
What you think I'm 80 ? wow your way off. :mad: :furious :cry :D

The DA lake is ok. I used to go there a while ago.
I didn't even mind the pickers, the place is cool for getting the ol' SA working.
I don't know but it seemed that most of the planes in there were not being flown as they would have historicaly. More a demolition derby of all sorts.
Anything goes I think it says on the arena message.
Outlying fields are somewhat restricted to private fights.
Just to say, the 51 driver who BnZ's and zooms back up to the perch. I thought that was how it would have been flown.(historicaly)

Dweeb lake can be fun.
It is what it is.
8/10 times I've gone there I end up jumping in a temp an running down and killing all the pick weenies.

So, you go and cherry pick the cherry pickers and it's the first thing you do when you log in so it is habitual, but you are dong it for noble reasons so it is ok. Thread started out as a guy looking for his buddy but again you chose to use it as your personal pulipit to expouse your learned opinion and berrate another player. Dude, I read your stuff, you got good things to offer sometimes, but sometimes you should just shutup.
-

hard to do? :headscratch: maybe at 500mph but i don't have a problem killing at slower dive speeds with a notch of flaps sometimes

:rolleyes: I keep trying to get out of this thread but you guys want to quote me and pull me back into it. I didn't say I picked the pickers. Where in my quote do you see that? And secondly, aren't you also using you're personal pulpit to express your learned opinion and berate me now? :lol pot meet kettle.
But I do agree that sometimes I should just stfu. :P

Hummm....... can this be MikeB31?

66Hellcats-
Adog is usually in the DA most evenings, you might also catch him there in the daytime depending on his work shift. To answer your original question, yes the 31st is still around albeit kinda fractionalized. Most members are just kinda floating around waiting for "The Call" --someone to round em up and forge the group back together.
As far as the comments about ADog's ability, I will not speak for him other than to add that I have personal experience over many years flying with, and at times against him in various settings and scenarios and he's no chump thats for sure. He can turn fight pretty dam good if he has to, he's just better at BnZ and has been doing it for as far back as I can remember - so I guess thats what he prefers...although I agree with all the statements concerning the "ambush" quality of BnZ and personally do not like it, I guess to some its a "tactic"
but hey, I'm not here to defend ADog, he's perfectly capable of coming to this thread and doing that for himself.

Ok im here to speak for my self, I fly to the limits of my choosen flight (P51D) To call me a picker, is to say that p51d pilots of WW2 were pickers. Well maybe they were . But you must know your ride well (what ever it might be) know its limits ! A good pilot who lands alot of kills, in a non perk plane , Knows his limits , and all the other planes limits as well . And stays out side of there reach ! Knoledge is key, the more you know the better you will do , and live to land your kills! Smack talk me if you like however i will give you a gift , This gift made me the pilot that i am, it's knoledge here 's a link where you can read all about the diferent planes , and how to best use the plane and its weakness .
http://members.shaw.ca/soda_p/models.htm (http://members.shaw.ca/soda_p/models.htm)
Just click on plane of interest and read ! I have spent alot of time here reading, and reading over and over agian ! Know your enemy and his weakness and your on your way. Yes you could say diving in and picking is no skill, however like it or not there always someone coming in with more airspeed and alt that will kill you in the DA ! Good luck and <<S>> my friends and non friends! 66thhellcats.co Hello old friend i think , if you like to meet, im in the DA everynight , I fly Bish text me in the DA , and i will give you our channel! <<S>>

<S> Adog ! Thanks for coming in on this thread. I tried to explain how you flew, and why you flew that way, but i guess I'm just not very good at getting things across.
I was sticking up for you, not bashing you Adog :aok. keep flying the way you do, Cherry picking is a tactic, i used to do it all the time when i had the E and altitude advantage. Its only the first thing that enters your mind when you have the upper hand in that point & time in every kind of (cartoon ?) pilot.
I Cherry pick, as i think we all do here and there a little bit, no matter though, its only a game for fun and enjoyment in the ways we wish to play.
