Congratulations to Shadow for being awarded the Devil Dogs Fighter Squadron's highest citation, the Congressional Medal of Honor! His actions are an outstanding example to fellow squad members of what a pilot can accomplish with determination, discipline, and patience. There has been only one other person to achieve this honor in the past 11 years, SkatSr of the 412th Braunco Mustangs. <S> Shadow!

Yeah why don't you do that.
Pand I've had some fights with the Devil Dogs the past few weeks. Won some lost some. You guys are a good bunch to fly against, and that usually means the squad is a good bunch to fly with.
Congrats Shadow!

seriously..
why doesnt the whole squad just BnZ with run90D's for 30 kills, then not play the rest of the month

I could do that if I wanted to without running constantly... It is simply knowing what you're flying into...who you can out turn.. who you can't... who you can out climb, who you cant. Can you out fight these 2? or 3? Decide... It is not that hard and you do NOT have to run and BnZ only for 4-5 kills per sortie... hell you could even just bomb GV's and re arm...

To make it clean.
Its such a followable example. Gameplay will seriously improve if everyone has nothing in his mind but his K/D. Awesome good fights are going to happen if people are flying ponyes at 25k or everyone is running from any dangerous situation while letting his 2 wing of squaddies do the job. They even get an award for it and its even advertised publicly. He must be such an awesome pilot, with a fighting spirit of a samurai.
More power to them!

You know your constant bashing of other people and portraying yourself as some kind of super warrior is getting old. Usually I ignore you. Two Sundays ago I up an I-16 from a base under heavy attack.
Some guy in a 109 zooms down and vulches a guy on the runway. Luckily I am in a position to intercept him. I drop in on the 109 and shoot it down and read You Shot Down Debrody. You were part of the horde and you were vulching. So much for all your BS about other people's gameplay being inferior to yours.. Seriously you're not a samurai rebel or warrior. You're just a guy playing a GAME. Get over yourself.
-
uhoh.
Grudges being hold.
If i remember correctly the guy i vulched was a pony i shot up before and he dove to his ack. Also that musta been a real bad horde when an i16 could dove on my six and kill me when there were already two cons (pony and a 190?) chasing me and i tryed to zoom away from their ack...
cheers.
I must be a real sukky "hoarder" with a mighty 1.5 K/D tho. I must BnZ and run all the time. I must fly nothing but a 262 and vulch. I fly for nothing but score. Im also a hypocrite. I sukk.
Seriously dude, whatever.
Okay, Butcher, im just saying, its as much of a followable example, he even got awarded. Everyone should fly this way and this game will be so much fun for everyone, with tons of close combat. That was my point.
out.
-
Whether you only pick and boom and zoom is your choice - its your $15....it is only a game after all nothing to get uptight about debrody.

24 kills in 5 hours... not my kind of flying.

I posted this to honor shadow and his dicipline to execute the goal that was set. This is something I have tried to accomplish many times to no avail. Thanks to all that provided positive comments! :salute

24 kills in 5 hours... not my kind of flying.
Just some facts to put things into perspective (Assuming that "dolby" in-game is "LCADolby" in the forums):
- Shadow (fighter stats) 24 kills in 5 hours, averaging 4.86 kills per hour with 0 bails, ditches, captures, discos, or deaths.
- Dolby (fighter stats) last tour, averaged 5.51 kills per hour with 150 bails, ditches, captures, discos, or deaths.
Also note that when a pilot is shot down, it saves them the game time of a flight home! This is a great accomplishment and please don't belittle it.

Ehm... Dolby did it in an eny40 ride, without 2 full wings of squaddies in 20k ponies to clear his six.
my 2 cents.

true. I've never seen him above 10k, and never in nothing but a 109E or 109F

It's also called the Medal of Honor. 'Congressional' isn't in the name of the award.

Some people forget that a majority of the AH community is not that experienced and for some this is a big accomplishment. :salute
To be fair Pand my Dobby always flys his Emil and is not afraid to fight with a disadvantage Just different types of flying style is all I see.

Dolby's comment had implied that 4.86 kills per hour was too slow.
24 of his 50 were in a P-51B.

The detail of the Squadron board is "Information, recruitment, and announcements about AH squadrons." It is absolutely that! I wanted to announce an accomplishment of a fellow squad mate with the AH community... an accomplishment that I personally have been unable to achieve over the last 11 years. I am proud of him and thought that others would be as well.
I would be interested to see how many of the replying posters have the patience and discipline to execute the "50 kills / 30 sorties / no death" requirement in something other than a perk ride. :airplane:
-
Pand, there was worms in that can, your 'factual perspective' is flawed. ;)
My kills per hour will be lowered, I fight a good fight and die. To make a proper comparison one would have to ignore all the fights I lost and died in.
20mins+ flying then dying without a kill is of course going to affect my personal kills per hour. The end sortie still happens at death.
5mins to the nearest base at 300mph then land or a 10-20min fight then death. Your saving time flight home comparison is void.
I'll take on your guy in the DA anytime for a marathon session; We'll and see how many kills each of us can accumulate in 5 hours.
Just to fix a few misconceptions;
12k is my general alt cap, but I occationally go higher.
I don't always fly the Emil or Freidrich, I often jump into other rides, G14, G2, etc.
Look at my stats in more depth if you wish, it may help with your 'perspective'.

4Prop, thank you for the information! I have to be totally honest--- there is nothing better than a 1v1 or a 2v2 dogfight between 15K - 22K, between 109's, 190s, and P-51's. The more people up top, the more fun it gets! Get those low furballers off the deck and we can get some real ACM rockin! :joystick:

Wasn't saying anything bad about what planes you fly or how you fly. It happens daily on the BBS and in game when someone makes a "statement" which is completely wrong...I just felt like correcting it this time.

<S> Shadow, you man-god!
Pand, don't let the usual peanut gallery, basher crowd in here
get ya down. They want you to be as miserable and self-loathing
as they are. Thankfully, they comprise a VERY small percentage
of the HTC BBS crew.
I'm happy to see some "news" in here instead of it merely being
almost entire recruiting posts. (I've done a few of those myself.)
Best regards, and good hunting,
Oddball

Well done Shadow. I've been trying to finish a month with either Fighter or Attack showing 0 deaths and 100 kills. Aint happened yet. And since it is fighter OR attack for me, I get 2 chances per month too.

Just to back up my original reply about this bunch being a good one to fight against. I ran into a lone P-51D late this evening. He did a rocket run on the dar I was in an F4U1A and gave chase.
Got within D-800 and took a snipe at him with no luck. The P-51 dropped his nose and jetted the rest of his ord. He then headed away out of icon range I thought he was probably headed home but kept my alt anyway. He returns and put up one heck of a fight roping me into a spin I almost didn't recover from. He stayed flaps out, manuvering and fighting hard the whole time. I got a lucky break when we went into another vertical merge and I was able to hang a second longer on my prop. Otherwise he would have probably ended my flight right there because I still had not got full control of my bird back. Once we were slow and I was right on his six. He broke hard and I had to shoot with a blind lead pulling through his bird firing from a lag position. I eased the stick saw some parts coming my way and pulled through again firing and getting the kill probably with overkill. I was still getting a lot of wing rock and to be honest was spraying and praying afraid I was going to wobble right out of the fight. I made my share of mistakes in that fight and had I been in a Pony as well he probably would have mopped the floor with me. After all that Gldnbb tosses me a salute even after my sloppy flying. The guy has class and the whole squad has class in my book.. Just saying.

What do you want to prove? I seen what i seen. Or just pepper me by punting this topic and make me look bad? Whatever.
Our terms about what is a fight are entirely different. For example when someone is running away from icon distance then coming back with E and roping you, i wouldnt call that a classy fight, but anyway, i dont care about your silly games. Youre awesome. Have fun. Im just an idiot sukky vulcher hypocrite little retard and i dont know anything else.
I got a better idea tho: come, join the DFC and see whats a fight :aok

I wasn't talking to you or trying to prove anything to you Debrody. It has nothing to do with you. If I want to say something to you I'll direct it to you.
Are you really threatened by a simple post that doesn't mention you or refer to you at all? All I was saying is my opinion of these guys was just reaffirmed by an experiance I had last night. :rolleyes:
-
I would like to <S> all. A special thanks to the guys with the great comments and especially to Pand for recognizing the efforts of a fellow member. Everyone has a right to there own opinion but some can confirm I'm not the guy at 30k lookin for someone to pick. You can find me from 1k to 20k, Under or over enemy cons, with squad mates or running solo. Some may say that's not the way they fight and that's fine but you won't catch me on the deck turn fighting a spit with my P51. Just trying to come home alive every sortie gives a different aspect of fun and realism to the game. And I will take on the challenge of 100 kills/0 Deaths. I'll see you in the air!!!!

so what you are saying is low fighting does not include "Real ACM" :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:
I would love to take you to DA...... show YOU what REAL fighting is. :aok

Am i safe to say? They are welcome to the DFC... good pilots are only rising the level.
Come, fight and prove yourself worthy for the award. Look how sukky we are, actually only a very few of us has K/D higher than 2.
Without irony or bad willing: :aok

don't think it is gonna happen.....cant pick and run to ack in the ladder......
....did I say that out loud :uhoh
-
-If someone flies at 30k all day I'm sure their AH experience will be pretty boring compared to the deck.
-The idea of avoiding death/perfecting the k/d to max extent can make the game more fun. One cartoon life? Immerse oneself in that belief it and it's sweaty palms, fail to and it's just another arcade game.
-No point whining about being vulched. You upped from a base that was being vulched right?
-No point in whining about being picked. Is everyone supposed to stand by while you shoot down their wingie on behalf of your ego? "Nice Pick" translates into "I could take you 1on1 a-hole."
-No point in whining about other play styles, it's their 15 bucks- without "them" you'd run out of things to shoot at.
-The only general rule is death to red icons.
Congrats on the good run. :aok
