Well the story is,
I logged on, saw 4 full sectors of dar bar headed for a base, so I upped a jet out of bordem, so I kill a B25, and a Pony, and after that I just run into 20k devil dog pony's, and there is about 20 of them where ever I look, so a 190 smokes me, 4 of them chase me home, I land. Another player was running his jet home (not a squaddie) and asked on country if someone could clear him of this pony, as he was inured, so I upped an LA to try to clear him so he could land, after having the pony run from my LA for roughly 10+ minutes, maybe longer, I gave up and bailed out, out of shear bordem, moving on to my 3rd sortie of the day I up a K4 and immediately get jumped by about 10+ pony's off my base, I just got fed up with it.
I admit to pm'ing GldnBB and Pand, however that was probably the first time I have ever PM'ed someone like that, but I just wasn't having a good day or week for that matter in general, IRL and IG...
I apologized to both of them at least twice now, and once again I do apologize for the PM's gents, it is out of character for me and I am not exactly proud of it but it's been a bad week for me.

You're a good guy Redbull, don't sweat it! The game can get the better of all us sometimes!
Like tonight, there are about 15 friendly aircraft at varying altitudes above our field... I'm the only one landing at the time, wheels touchdown, about to come to a stop when Babalon in a 190D dives straight down--- and I mean STRAIGHT DOWN, from 10K, puts several cannon rounds in my aircraft to blow me up on the runway, and then craters into the runway right next to me.
Were there plenty of other targets for him to shoot at? Of course! Did he take the easiest shot with no concern to stay alive? Absolutely! Did it irritate me a little? Oh yeah! It's all part of the game, but you can't control how other people play, and if he is a 1 kill for 1 death kinda guy, then I say mission accomplished sir! :)

There was a time, in the not so distant past, when opposing forces could kick back after a night of flying and engage in the camaraderie of the BBS.
Good natured ribbing, inside jokes, tongue-in-cheek jabs, and most importantly honoring and respecting both your team mates and your opponents. Landing a good run of kills, even for someone like me who rarely does so, takes a distant second to a :salute from a worthy foe, or a sincere word of praise from friend or foe alike.
This past weekend, while recovering from the nightly escapades in NOLA, I was reading some ancient (and not so ancient) forum posts from names gone by. Just a night and day difference.
These were the kind of guys that studied their opponent: his ride, his tactics, his wingmen. Armed with that knowledge, he adjusted one or more of his ride, his tactics, his wingmen (and/or their tactics) and challenged himself to overcome or at the very least get better.
I am not at all trying to paint a Utopian, revisionist view of the past... there have always been barnacles, lesions, weeping pusspockets, and sad, sad little donuts of men who command a plywood table in their parents basement.
At some point, however, the old guard lost center stage... and the yappy dogs, those Internet tough guys who think they are building some sort of street cred by wading in to defend their friends by slinging old and tired insults moved up to the forefront.
Little cliques of keyboard warriors who band together like street urchins to steal apples from the market.
Those of you rushing to defend Redbull: He doesn't need it. He's a big boy, and can clearly take good natured ribbing (and give it back!) in fun. Those of you trying to defend him by insulting are soiling his name by association.
Those of you just here to insinuate, ridicule, and impugn: You will be much better served by emulating those who went before you. Those who used the term "runstang" as a taunt to get an opponent to make a mistake... not as the gold standard for why you lose to a Mustang.
As for numbers, unless you are a silly ME-262 on the deck, I promise you that 99% of the time you will only have to contend with one of us and his wingman at a time. We WILL aid each other, so I suggest bringing a few friends you can trust (HOing nonstop is also somewhat effective).
I can also promise you that the fight will be deck to 10k, generally between 3-6. If you see us egress, it's due to damage, fuel, or ammo. No, we aren't going to turn fight your Hurricane, Spixteen, or F-4. When you come here and cry because we wouldn't, no number of pals will make your bleats any less pitiful.
I am an easy kill... my ACM capabilities rank as "Usually doesn't shoot self down", my gunnery skills rank as "Knows where trigger is" and my SA rating is "Eyeless Potato". When you shoot me down, the greatest gift you can send me is a PM telling me not that I suck, rather why - in that instance - what I did sucked.
Also, our "horde" consists of 2-8 fighters, and by far and away the vast majority of the time it's more like 2-4, and usually half of those pilots will be double or single digit ranked, and the other half will be quadruple digit ranked. This means bring a friend or two, and not just a greeny in icon range. Now and then we escort bombers, and sometimes those raids do a little large, but who doesn't like seeing a million buffs?
Anyway, :salute to the thread (Especially RB), and here's :cheers: to a new era of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the stuff by which legends are birthed: good fights.

Nonsense.
How many times my g6 got ganged by 5-8-10+ ponies coming down from 20k, i cant even count. Not one tryed to turn with me, all just made a pass then ran til his arse got saved by his 9 buddies then reversed.
You talking about sportsmanship... well thats something like Chiccorina talking about virginity.
Thats my opinion. Come flame me with your awesomeness.
doh

Not Devil Dogs... you know that the Pony is pretty popular, right? Not every one you see is DD FS. You want to hear anger on squad vox? Tazz69 turns into a wild Canadian Devil when people gang his kill or pull in front of him when he's taking the shot. And when Pand dives on ANYONE, aside from his wingman we ALL go somewhere else because it's a foregone conclusion.
You talking about sportsmanship... well thats something like Chiccorina talking about virginity.
What's the point of this? Simply to become the poster child for the archetype I JUST referred to? Because it's an admirable attempt, sir.
Thats my opinion. Come flame me with your awesomeness.
doh
That's not an opinion, that's you implying that my squad gangs with "5-8-10+" 51's, which simply does not happen. You are also implying that we don't (or at least in your scenario(s)) turn, which is absurd. I am sure there are plenty of "pick and run" Rooks (and every other chess piece), we just don't do that as a squad... I don't know how else to put it. We fly our aircraft (well, some of us attempt to anyway) to its strengths, but not with timidity.
You show me a film of "5-8-10" Devil Dog FS pilots ganging you, or any other single con (that isn't a 262 or a C-47), and I will eat my hat (let's say mouse mat... it's made of aluminium, and I don't wear a hat).
When I say I fly with some of the best guys you could ask for, I am not saying they are awesome because they are my friends... these guys are some TRULY great people on and off the court. While I cannot expect you to know that, although you are welcome to fly with us any time, I can hope that you will not outright lie about their tactics.
Like I said before... and this is basically text book... for a fighter sweep we fly out in finger four (assuming we even have 4, we usually don't)... we get to the target area, or the intercept point and break into loose deuce... you MIGHT see a three together if he's the odd man out, at least until another wing comes for him to link up with, but we operate in two man teams. We'll clear a wounded/winchester squadmate out of the area, and any one pilot/loose deuce may clear any other squad mate (or greeny) should the situation arise. That's it. Our planes climb and acceleration is mediocre, and sustained turns are a death sentence... we try to fly accordingly.

That just dont make any sense. I often turn on the film when i get ganged, just to identify the gangsters. Unfortunately, i used to delete the films due to space shortage on the 64gigs SSD.
Btw when i see 10-15 ponies at 20k, in 70+% of the cases it turns out its one certain squadron.
What's the point of this? Simply to become the poster child for the archetype I JUST referred to? Because it's an admirable attempt, sir.
I cant stand when someone is posing as the great sportsman hero when he isnt. Thats all. You guys ganged RedBull, its okay, happens every day, at least the others dont brag about how awesome and fun it was.
ouch.

If not an opinion, then what? I seen this from a certain squad over and over, then you are telling me it have never happened. <sigh>
Btw flying an aircraft to its strenght... im turning a Gustav with spits. <deep sigh>
You show me a film of "5-8-10" Devil Dog FS pilots ganging you, or any other single con (that isn't a 262 or a C-47), and I will eat my hat (let's say mouse mat... it's made of aluminium, and I don't wear a hat).
What if i show you a vid about that in a month? (might start to save my films...) Will you post yourself eating your hat? ;)
Whatever. A few wingman using wingman tactics to break a horde is one of the nicest things in an air combat game. But many many high ponies pick-n-extending on much fewer, lower opponents, aka "using its planes strenghts" or "wingman tactics"... even bragging about it... well, thats something entirely different. nuff said
I have explained my opinion, nothing else i have to say.

You have obviously missed the purpose of this thread--- The image created was to honor Redbull and the continued back and forth banter we have with him on 200. Many times throughout the evening, Redbull was outnumbered; however, the scenario depicted in the image was not one of those times, but the outcome was the result of the previous engagements.
This thread is all in fun, and outside of apparently 2 people, everyone else knew it. If you don't understand the situation, and if you're gonna act like a Debbie Downer all the time... do everyone a favor and mind your own business. Things were a lot better on the BBS before Nov 2010.

:airplane: This can't be Aces High in the background, because the base in the back ground looks like a real airfield, numbered runways, center line markings, homes in the back ground...maybe Hi Tech would take the hint and make our arena airfields look like airfields, with aircraft sitting around and in hangars, plus some ground vehicles....how about the "Tiki" bar and grill and knows what we could see in there....nice touch on the ponie with Cheerios for drop tanks....guess that is field rations for emergency use!

Amen 80hd..
Well the story is,
......I land. Another player was running his jet home (not a squaddie) and asked on country if someone could clear him of this pony, as he was inured, so I upped an LA to try to clear him so he could land, after having the pony run from my LA for roughly 10+ minutes, maybe longer, I gave up and bailed out, out of shear bordem....I admit to pm'ing GldnBB and Pand, however that was probably the first time I have ever PM'ed someone like that, but I just wasn't having a good day or week for that matter in general, IRL and IG...
I apologized to both of them at least twice now, and once again I do apologize for the PM's gents, it is out of character for me and I am not exactly proud of it but it's been a bad week for me.
:salute
While Redbull is a good guy, and a big salute back to him, the myth needs to be dispelled before others in the community attempt to analyze and give false ego bloated responses (aka Debrody). The photo of the Mad Kitty bailing out of the LA7 was due to this story:
The AAR:
DD fighter sweep is over a Knit Enemy base (A244)? and I spot a low 262 engine smoking heading northward away from 244(?). This 262 was earlier giving grief between our base and the base we were attacking. I dive toward the 262, giving chase on the deck and slowly catching over the course of 1.5 sectors, watching him attempt to drag me over a locomotive, then get into his own base's dar ring. 3 Knits had upped: P38, P47, and La7... The LA7 heading at me in a HO. I break to the slight right and start climbing, with the LA7 immediately reversing and holding behind me 1.5K steadily.
I start a good climb rate all the way up to 10K, with the LA7 slowly gaining to 800. Turning slight left and right and shallowing the climb, the LA7 takes some pot shots but miss and is climbing outside my slow turn radius. I get to 11K and just fly around their own base looking for the 262 with the LA7 in tow (and also a P47M I picked up at 11K) but now both falling behind. Snailman lands his 262 in the process somewhere (too bad).
RedBull then bails out of his aircraft in disgust and in an attempt to find out who was running away, then proceeds to use other comparisons and put downs I rather not say (perhaps Debrody would like to ask Redbull in private), but responded to him that the P51 on the deck against an LA7 will lose the fight (most of the time). The only remaining option was to climb above 10k where the P51 can have an adequate fight against the LA7 and the P47 and P38 that had upped. Afterward he apologized for his frustrations that night and saluted me.
Berating in private text by him is not something to be salutable Debrody, check your facts first before going on a rant about this thread. The only salutable thing I recognize is Redbull's good nature to recognize he was wrong and apologized to me almost instantly. The Aces high community in general should take notice of Redbull's admirable apology and they should apply the same techniques when they are presented an unfair fight. Hint: there is never a fair fight, only the one who gets shot down and the other who flies away to fight another day.

Long Time Mazz hopefully you return around the time I will.
Looking forward to knocking off the rust with another excellent stick. :salute
Indeed - though, if I recall correctly, you seemed more adept at knocking me around; rust or no rust. Cheers to both. :aok
Was on the telephone with a mate last night, discussing details of an upcoming trip, and absentmindedly responded to a query with "In."
This triggered a chain reaction of events ultimately resulting in the foregoing post, inspection of plastic, e-pilot paraphernalia and a PM to the good uncle.
The way I figure; one more 30mm newb in Main can't hurt.
See ya up.

shame shame shame. I wish people wouldn't get in 51s if they're afraid to at least TRY and fight....especially in a 1 on 1 situation. I'm reminded of what SkatSr. would of told me if I were being chased like that. He would of simply said, " turn around and kill the guy" :lol.
The LA7 would end up running the 51 down anyway. The LA7 would out-climb the 51, and besides....you really need to get the LALA above 15K not 10k. My point is, you'll never improve your flying skills or knowledge of your aircraft and your opponents aircraft if you don't fight when you have a chance. I can understand running for some help if 3 or 4 bad guys are chasing you, but not 1. This is the kind of thing that gave the "insert squad name here" their bad rap. They're real fighters when they're 10 or 15 deep, but in a 1 on 1 they have not heart.
Do you guys forget that this is just a game and no one really dies and you get a new plane when the sortie ends? last week I had a spixteen chasing me. I could have easily out ran him, but I chose to turn around just to see what would happen. Yeah, I got nailed but he probably felt good he got the kill and I won't be on the evening news labled a gutless chicken in a cartoon game. ;) I just when back in a spixteen of my own and got my kill back. :devil "I'd like to think that the game wouldn't be so funked up if more people would just turn around and kill the guy".

To say the very least, IF I chose to fight the LA7, drained my E, the P47 and P38 would have come right over. Yea 3 vs.1 not 1 vs. 1 as you 'choose to believe'. The fact is I was 1.5 sectors away from the nearest friendly fighter and had just enough 'E' to climb away and get to a safe distance of only 1.0 when level 11k. And yes, I always outperform LA7s at 11K, always able to extend and equalize the fight slightly in my favor of performance. Fight my own fight, not the LA7's fight. Don't need 15k to do that.
Oh and had just enough E to barely get turned around due south to RTB without the p47M getting within 1.5k Smart use of E and rtbed...
Cough.... 13K through 16.5 K has the worst performance of a P51D and no WEP... 11K has plenty of WEP and more than enough to walk away when initial airspeed is less than 300mph. I do it all the time against the LA7. Next false argument? Oh yes 'the game'. So is Chess, you don't really die but you still try to exploit your strengths to outsmart the adversary to win the 'match'. Not lose the match (aka die).

Comparison chart: P51D vs LA7.
In fact the P51D flies faster than the LA7 soon after 8000feet with WEP, and about 10,000 without WEP. To continue the climb past 15k would be suicide :aok

I don't see where people get off running, flying at 30k, bnz'ing and running to other buddies. WHERE IS THE FUN IN NOT FIGHTING? Some people here are a complete joke with their theories on how to play the game.

"I play to my advantage" < only timid flyers say that...nothing is enter than being at a disadvantage and then turn the tables on the enemy.

If thats true...
if that was a pony vs a lala, a 38 and a jug, why RB "saluted" all the 50 DDs who got assist on him (as he said)?
if you were alone, why he PMed Pand, as he said? How he knew Pand was involved?
Something is wrong, or i cant match the items into a logical consequence. Not even after i talked to RedBull. Maybe its caused by the hangover... My brain itches... my bad.
Cant wait to shoot your collective running err planes-advantage-using butt down tho (it possibly works vice versa too) :aok

Keep in mind you're one of the best pilots and can survive more easily.
Many others can't do that yet so they will run to buds or ack to try and even the odds with an aggressive pilot. Nothing wrong with that, for them.
Being looked at as a baby seal, getting shot down, having to reup and climb out to be shot down again without a bud or ack help can get frustrating until you become good. It was for me at one time.
It is a combat sim, but even in real combat, having buds around you or in ship/field guns helping each other is valid.
I'll be glad to fight you as will others if you announce where you are on 200 when you can't find a good fight. :)

to the OP, too funny :aok :lol

Two different time frames buddy.... Didn't occur at the same time.. RB's encounter with '50 DD's wasn't the same as my encounter with him. I just couldn't believe RB would PM those thing to me, so I informed my squad of this pilot's PM. We all found it unbelievably funny, and at the end all found it admirable RB apologized and saluted me.
Apparently RB had gone off on Pand on a previous sortie so was having a bad day. RB did post that he had three different sorties. His 262 vs. DD's sortie #1, then his LA7 vs. ME sortie #2, the third sortie well is irrelvant to this topic :)
Moving on.

My reading comprehension failed me on this one. I read ur post as the jug and 38 were rooks also. For whatever it's worth...I apologize.

Two different time frames....
Aha, so what exactly that happened what i suspected :aok
Just not as easy to find the truth when there are 3 different people telling the same story in 3 different ways...
Conclusions taken.

Insults now? How bout that squad duel I begged for months ago, can we revive that request. Curious to see how bad you'd get beaten even if half my squad went AFK for months.
Then again I was just trying to drum up some fun, squad duel with no score card, I see nothing has changed.
Squad duel? :)

Hell half your squad is already quitting the game(not afk buncha quitting satin wearers.), think you can get em back? Also what does a squad duel have to do with you smelling the joint up. LOL what a bunch of (name herding animal/schooling fish/swarming insect that tends to follow the leader) Lighten up Frances.= you couldnt hold my jacques anyway.

Sure, but I issued the duel just to have some fun - if you are going to throw some snowballs you gotta at least accept and have some fun.
Pretty sure Ill get shot down 4 outa 4 times, Titan's busy filling ice cream cones and Bone hasn't flown since we started playing DayZ.
So pretty much 3 ringers vs an entire squad :D

Since the Few fell apart, and seems the Muppets got Kappa and Skyrock back, safe to say they are the reigning kings for now.
