I was rtb tonight with a few(6) scalps... had enough fuel to get back... saw a yak flyin parallel with me heading to my base about 5k out 3 oclock... was keeping an eye on him... I see the distance close and nose towards him thinking he will just ho and run... well, he turned that lil bastage hard and caught my 6 and was closing... yikes, I misjudged that!!! so, I pull him on in for an attempted reversal and the fun started... he got a shot on me, I saw him pass and got his oil, then he went vert and I couldnt pull up to shoot him, I flopped to left and then dropped right wing and came out behind and below him, left flaps down too long and that was fatal, I pulled up and had a kill shot on him but got a mini freeze right when I pulled trigger, flopped out, no E, he pulled sharp to cut my corner and I got towered!!!! great lil fight! <S> Joach1m!!!

So, who was the guy calling "need some help down here" on range while fighting a yak? Almost took the yak out with my B26s lol.
Its all about the fight ;)

Jo can, also likes to fight :aok

Joach1m!!!
Had a few good ones with him the other night as well had my chances but lag has been beating me as much lately as good pilots. No question he is a Good pilot. You better make your shot cause he will make you pay for not making it

This made me realize something I'd never thought about before. And that is, once a player reaches a certain skill level where he can out fly most pilots he meets 1 on 1 the number of runners seem to go up because they still make that little mistake that allows the con to get away. Whether it be a missed shot or the other guy just has a faster accelerating aircraft or you're picked by that 2nd con. This stage seems to go on for a while until a persons skill level improves to the point where he can hold his own in a 2 on one. Rarely do you see 2 cons running from you at once. Once you get to the point where you can beat both cons.....or at least one, that's where the fun really begins as almost every fight is fun at that stage.
So if you want guys to stop running from you, you have to do something to keep them in the fight. Fly like you're an easy kill...low, slow or maybe in a not so great plane. Make them interested and then kill them before they can get away. All this is easier said then done I know. It takes a lot to seat time and 100s of deaths. Very very few come to this game and are quick to learn this. There will always be exceptions like Joach1m and some of the others. But once you can master judging your cons E and learn how to hide your own until just the right moment, create angles and overshoots it's a whole new ballgame. Don't get me wrong...you'll always find someone to clean your clock out there, that just the way life is. But once you take the game to the next level a brand new enjoyment kicks in. :salute
P.S. I have not reached the level I speak of but on some days I can be damned close. :banana:

The best way to stay in a good fight is to park the uber rides and fly something with an eny of 10 or higher.
Fighting 1v2 against yak3s or lala7s is always a losing fight.
-
I always find good fight everytime I get to play. Truth is I die most time but I do have fun. My skill level is not has high as most in game. One good fight with my $15 month

BushLt I've always considered you very good in all aspects of this game. I always expect to die when I encounter you :cheers:

I disagree. The best way to find a fight for me is to be in an La7. Two reasons:
You can force people to fight once they realize that running is not an option.
Most aces fly with squad mates so they can be baled out once they run out of ace juice. A good plane gives you a chance to atlist take one of the helpers out.

It's fights like that that keep me playing this game.
I was in a hog D and saw a higher dot ahead. Got rid of the drop and leveled for speed. Was about 12k or so and I have a pony coming in at around 15k.... and we start. :D
After a bunch of very nice passes from the pony I'm gaining on him and so far haven't lost any vital parts. Next pass I lose the rudder, but as I come out of my barrel roll he's 600 out and not pulling away so much. At 800 out I spot a high 190 coming in and figure this fight is over. :( I avoid the first pass of the 190, and the pony is coming back. One more miss and I'm closer, but just not close enough for my crappy aim.... and then the 190s back. I avoid him again, but now the pony is back and I just can't roll out of the way quick enough and get a pilot wound and lose half a wing to go with the rudder I lost earlier.
HOST: You have been shot down by PanosGS
arrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! With out that 190 there I think I would have finally got him one time!!! Great fight, Great fun!

ahh just found this! LOL sorry for late reply...
It was indeed a good fight. Millie to think as the f4u and the yak3 as a very good match up! They both equal each other out IMO. :salute :cheers: see you again in the sky's bud! <S>

yeah they are a good match, but a well flown hog is a good match for anything... now, that lil ruskie buggar is a tough fight in the right hands, and you can't just disengage from it either!! yikes!!!
<S> again, and good finish!!!
