With all the talk of fighting, a/c do's and do not's, pilots wanting to get better, talk of the old culture of knife-fighting, experimenting with different styles of fighting, which planes are "better", old vets returning (awesome BTW), egos settling down, retired vets talking about the old legends, challenges being given and a general renewed sense that 1 v 1s can make you better, real fast...it's time to "engage the mechanism".
The "mechanism": Thursday and Friday (after FSO so you should be good and warmed up) nights at 11pm CST, the DA private field work outs...think of it as AH P90X workouts or AH Insanity Workouts. Here's how it works:
Min of two people needed but as many as want to can participate
Check your ego at the door
First person to show up select a field that is 3K (the group can move to a higher field later if desired)
Tune to VOX 268 (so you can talk with everyone fighting)
Even up the sides at the private field
Choose your plane, whatever load out you want to work on
Roll
The fight procedure is to call out on VOX to the first red dot you see with "vis on the <insert plane type here>" with your opponent responding "IN". Once your 1 v 1 engagement has begun, any other players will simply fly on by looking for their own, "IN"....just fun, group 1 v 1s. If the middle of the field gets busy, simply move to a less-busy part of the same private field....I promise a con will find you if you don't find him/her first.
I looked at the video of the first one I invited myself to...Grizz, Ardy, Krup, Squat, Junky, SERaider, Dodger, Shuffler, Kappa, Sunbat, Hlbly, Sunsfan, TonyJoey, Scotch, Bipolar, Skyrock, and Creton. What a great time that was.
You really see the difference in how you fly and others fly and these guys at least, would tell ya what you could do better and show you if you asked. Sweaty hands and the shakes after each fight...other people pushing you to try different merges, how to hold energy, working angles, flap-timing, throttle-work, rudder control. Great fun and lots of teaching.
See you guys/gals there!!

Sounds like fun but sounds like it can get a little messy too. Not that I'm bashing the idea. If you have tried it before and it has worked you can count me in sometime.
Only problem for me is its midnight my time :( If you are doing this tonight I may make a point of coming though, I need to get back into the saddle.

If it gets too busy, we split fields.. No biggee. Hope to see you there.

We used to do this with the squad back in the day, boatloads of fun and ownage, and it really doesn't get "messy" unless someone tries to jump in a fight, then we used to just vulch them til they leave! :devil :rock

Then you will be called a lot of names my Russian-plane-flying-friend!! Because THAT plane used during 1 v 1's is what Madonna flies. That is no test of you skills nor is it a plane to learn 1 v 1. However, if you would like to fly that plane, please let me know. I have never flown it and I would like to turn with you a bit....that would be fair considering you are liable to see a mossy, 110G etc and, well, your I16 just wouldn't be real fair now would it? lol :D

I believe some of the vets are going to be surprised in the coming months....some of the new folks are getting real good, flying hungry and have found ways to check their egos at log in. It sure looks like some are wanting the "pwnage" knowledge...its a lot of fun as long as Reaper isn't running all over the place in his POLYCARPOFFISH I16 of keeeling things that want a chance. Of course if JUGgler and SunBat show up, they will own him and they will be flying 110G's....DOH!!! :devil

LOL are yooo intimidated by glorious I-16? My 30eny plane, comrade, is no, as you Amerikans say "yoober late voor monster!" Do not mistake for those ugly Brewsters flown by those crazy Finns, Polykarpov is made from the finest recycled crashed bomber parts, and has aerodynamics of soup can!
I vood LOVE to have you in glorious I-16, comrade! Vood be GREAT fun!

Too Late.

Of course if JUGgler and SunBat show up, they will own him and they will be flying 110G's....DOH!!! :devil

We usually try to warm up in the MA on Thur and Friday nights and then head over to the DA around 11PM CST after we've gotten our fill of hording defense, tardlet attacks, altfairy behavior and developing a generally poor attitude towards the folks that define the prior mentioned skill sets, lol.
The OP on this thread kinda outlines the timeframes but sometimes, Dodger and Scotch just say "DA Orgy" and we all go....lmao! :rock

I've missed the last couple of these because of wife or kid ack but I could sure use some practice/training to get ready for the upcoming tournament. is there anyone here willing to help me out with some dueling merges, stall fighting and such in a variety of planes?

I asked a few folks where you've been....that K4 is calling you. I thinks it's time to get back in the game Madda....your peeps await your return.

Changeup...you all still running it with the no "extreme" planes rule?
For example...tempest, zeaks, brews

Man I'm working on it. I got waylaid pretty harshly by real life. The squaddies keep me wanting to get in too. I miss it all really, even fighting off hordes. But fighting around in the da were some of my most fun fights. Some great times in there with you guys!

You can fly what you like....most of the guys you already know can handle the extreme planes with very little problem in a 1v1 setting, lmao!!! It's pretty much a free for all to get better 1 v 1 skills. Merge work, angles, booze and laughing a lot at the bizarre moves we all try.

Grizz flat merged me in the DA like ten times before I realized his aim was too good to go for a rope....so I flat merged which made me last more then 2 turns...I got 3 out of it lol. The things you learn in those informals help greatly in the MA.

Oh yes, he shared his philosophy on that and his second merge, which I thought was pure, pure genius. In fact, I won't be sharing his philosophy on his second merge with the general public, lmao. Cost me nothing except a lot of 1 v 1s that I came in second place.

I was late to this tonight and missed out on Sc0tch, bunnies, SkyRock and Uptown...but Uptown was a nice guy and waited.
<S>Uptown! Great fights
