Citabria, I have a special affection for this guy probably because he is a fellow pilot and CFI in concurrent school. Yesterday in CT I got his FW, guess what? :D

Everytime he or others find a pittyfull excuse, they make me smile because they remind me of this cartoon :

He was Knit the other day again, just to take his countries' CV back to the enemy.
Pyro, make it so that you have to be in a country for a certain amount of time, say, 24 hours, in order to have control of the CV please.

it would be nice to hijack this thread a little more...
how about someway of finding out who is in what position on the ships also. Damn fleet gunners trying to kill troops while trying to capture a field, and not once acknowledging...

Back off Ripsnort, you are off topic. Geez I should I guessed that this thread would degenerate into and anti-Cit thread. :mad:
The idea was that "we" are all working to be recognized of the best pilot in AH, except that there is no best pilot. There is a bunch of best pilot, and I don't need to name them.
Personaly, I don't care being shot down by xxx or shoot down xxx else than my personal ego (hehehe gotcha). I don't care because I have nothing to prove, I know what I'm worth and I can pull a great fight Vs anyone.
Off course, sometimes I got shot down by a newbie for stupid mistakes that I make, or even Vs an AH ace. I always want to say :" Hey, I'm way better pilot, I should have got you dweeb". But I don't do it, it's part of the self control and common courtesie.
If the guy wants to brag "wohooo I killed Frenchy" even after a 1 on 1 because I screwed up, then he deserves his moment of glory. I bite my tong and I say :"WTG, I screewed up but you didn't, good job". (sometimes I don't even screw up) :D
As a nutshell, being a great pilot doesn't means you are invicible, my usuall 3k sortie can quickly become a 1 death sortie even if I engaged with the advantage. Aces personal ego should not be used to offset the joy of somebody who shot them down. :) ... especially if it's a newbie to AH. Leading by example is what a true Ace should do.

Had a similar engagement Frenchy... A p-38 engaged a group of people heading to attack a base. We were all heavy. The 38 dove in as we jettisoned stores and managed to down SWulfe after a well timed snap stall... he dove and looped a couple of times then headed for the deck. I'd gotten my plane into position to dive in on him with an energy advantage. He cleared a hill and dove in behind it, but I was coming in from a pretty steep angle and managed to kill him at about 400 yards as he leveled off at the bottom of the hill. What followed?:

Excellent response there Oly, I agree 100%.

Hehehe Deja, I think Cit already used that one too on me. Yesterday he couldn't. Cit is very predictable, he usually comes in and pull as hard as he can to put his nose back toward you. He got an awsome gunery, he his guns are toward you, you will know it, wings will fly off next second. If you don't let yourself surprised by this agressive merge, then he keps pulling like a monkey and you have to do the same to follow/prevent him to point the nose at you. Then kicks in the second greatest Cit quality, his excellent judment of the other's Energy state. He goes vertical just when you are about to point his guns on him but have not enought E to follow him on the vertical. Then he wings over on you, and you can kiss your chute.
On the fight yesterday, I think I was 70% blackout to follow. Pull like a monkey ...1001...2001..3001... release yoke pressure, scan to find Cit, bank and pull like a monkey. hey, as long as it works, I respect his fighting technique :)
But no need to focus on Cit, I thing each of us are guilty of the "u got me but"... no need to breack sugar on his back alone :)

Isn't Cit now in JG54 who fly for Knits?
Anyhow, back on topic. I can't think of one time that I've shot Frenchy down where he didn't whine like a little girl!
SOB
...hmmm, come to think of it, I can't think of one time that I've actually shot Frenchy down! :D

Ah, could be, just so used to him switching countries to accomplish his goals I guess... :)

LOL SOB... here is my standard excuse for any FDB:
"Hey, you so drunk that I can't even shoot you down, and you don't have the right to shoot me down with your flying beer can while I was looking at Fatty's mom butt".

Last time I got Fester, I only got a 'grr' from him.
I have it on film too... <G>

<S> Frenchy!
I had a good laugh this morning with the now classic 'Fester's stick incident'.
Very nice of you to have grayed out my handle...but I'm old enough to endure Fester's ire. Btw Fester, you shot me down 4 times in a row last week (I can be really dumb some(most of?)times), so you should already consider yourself avenged :D

YEH

bottom line is that Cit / fester will swipe the floor with 99% of the arena pilots for 99.99% of times .. against numerical advantage with the inferior A/C :D
awesome wingman/lead to have and a gruesome foe

Of course...fellow Flying Tiger here!

Fester is great pilot. No wonder dweebs anounce so loud when they shot him down. Every dog can have its day ;).
-
Festerabria can't even begin to compare to Fokr in the excuse making category. For one thing, he doesn't get shot down nearly as often as Fokr. :)
And I can believe the story about the joystick. I got shot down once *in a scenario* because my neighbor started a fire in his kitchen. I smell smoke, go out to see what's going on, verify he has put it out, and walk back in to see my plane in flames. The guy who shot me down (a pal) had a good laugh about this.
And then there was the famous WB pilot (name withheld to protect the innocent) who put his plane on autopilot, ran to the can to "salvo some ordnance", heard pings, ran back to his computer in mid-crap with pants around ankles, and ended up getting shot down AND soiling his clothing.

Seems our "Killed Fester club" grov .. hehe
btw.: what do you think about situation when you get someone in 109 and he comeing back in NIKI instead of 109 ? :D
btw MINUS COME TO FLY AND TEACH THOSE LAME KNITS HOW TO FLY 190 ! Never saw so many 190 runing from fight like in last week !
-
Well I met Fester yesterday... I was Yak-9U he was 190... He was alone I was alone.... He went down in flames I had 0 holes in my plane... I got lucky :) There were no other 10 guys to cover his tail... and fight was exactly as described above... Pulling... puling... looping... pulling... even more pulling.... then controlled spin straight down and this was the time when I fired my shvak and disassembled his plane :) And you know what? There was no reaction from him... Nada.. Null... Nothing... I assume he was AFK and just his cat/dog was toying with his stick :)
Edit:
Maybe it was not cat nor dog but prolly his personal trained Monkey who was fighting me :)
Anyway Cita-Fester is a good guy.. Used to fly with him when he was a Bish and more than year ago when I first came to AH he was the one who I was learning from a lot :D

Fester's a cool guy, he needs rockets though ;)
-
And the ping pong balls fall on Captain Kangaroo... lol, that's so funny Saintard.
Actually, Festurd has a point.
After my Saitek wore out the main hat switch, I ordered a new one. It came with a digital flaw where it wouldn't calibrate. Great stick, but this 1 was flawed. I was too lazy to send it back so I robbed parts and was back into the old one.
Anyway, after robbing a hat switch, I never replaced the screw to hold the switch in. It's loose, will stay put just until you get into a real pickle and need to look around constantly.
So not only is the main hat gone, Im flying with only the top hat, NOT screwed in. When it falls out (and it does alot) Im juggling the numbers keypad, trying to get it back and seated, while trying to fly/evade/do something. I find it ironic his excuse happens to me all the time. I just don't say anything though. Easier that way.
Besides, this is a friendly goof on him, and compared to KBMAN, Festardbria has alot to learn about getting killed excuses. KB is the master.

I got a Saitek too, I love them. I never use the HAt, I use the numpad.
With Cit, we shot down each other so many time that it's not the accomplishment of my life when he goes down in flames. The reverse is true too :)
I think the only guy I was really mad when he killed me was DzD .... geez I hated this guy. The N1K2 typical irritating miserable pilot... and yet I never straffed his chute :D
-
Fester is a GOD!!!!!!!! Blasphemy!!!!!!!! I just HO him if I know its him, usually because I can see all the lil aeroplanes exploding as he fly's towards me. Not that that works either.
:D

OMG lolololol
I killed cit once, we were both in a Chog and he turned the tables on me and got me fare and square. I continued to hold the trigger as i tumbled to the ground and with 1 golden bb blew him out of the sky. I got credit for the kill :D He just laughed about that one :)
