After Action Report (AAR)
Date: 20 Mar 2025
Time: 0700hrs Z
Participants: 99capera / Rotbaron
Objective
To engage in a one-on-one aerial duel as per the agreed-upon terms, with aircraft selection determined by Capera.
Summary of Events
For months, Rotbaron had been making claims of superior piloting skill, challenging capera to a duel. After repeated discussions and delays, the challenge was formally accepted. Capera, as agreed, selected the aircraft: Spitfire Mk I, and the duel was set at 5,000 feet over a designated area between two bases.
Both pilots took off as planned. capera arrived at the designated altitude and awaited Rotbaron’s arrival. However, instead of honouring the agreed-upon terms, Rotbaron appeared in a Bf 109, an aircraft with a significant performance advantage over the Spitfire Mk I. This was a clear and intentional breach of the duel’s agreed parameters.
Despite violating the conditions, Rotbaron proceeded to engage and later took to open communications to boast of his so-called "victory," disregarding the fact that his actions lacked both integrity and sportsmanship.
Assessment
Breach of Agreement: Rotbaron disregarded the mutually agreed-upon aircraft selection, opting instead for a superior plane to ensure an unfair advantage.
Lack of Honor: By failing to engage in an honorable contest and then gloating afterwards, Rotbaron demonstrated a complete lack of sportsmanship.
False Claims: His post-duel claims of superiority are baseless, as they were achieved through dishonourable means rather than skill.
Conclusion
This event serves as a clear example of dishonourable conduct in competitive flight simulation. A true test of skill requires adherence to agreed-upon conditions, and those who fail to respect such agreements expose their own lack of integrity rather than proving any legitimate superiority.

Which version of the 109 did he take? If he took an E than the matchup was fair.

Film or it didnt happen!

Agreed. That's probably the best historical match-up you can get in AH.
OTOH, apparently that wasn't the agreement.

Challenging in a dual does warrant bragging rights to the victor. If you cant take it, then I highly recommend that you don't accept it. After 10 minutes no will care anyways.
If gloating is poor sportsmanship, then why do you post your victories after your meaningless bombings of nit Dar factory?

Apparently you do not have a grasp of how the sim works. Meaningless to hit factories? You have so much to learn.
As for my post, it's a combination of humor and addressing the toejamty actions of RotBaron.
But...should not be surprised at your response, as you never have anything 'good' to say, when it comes to me.

I have the film, if needed.

He showed up in a 109-K4

Yeh, that’s not the best of match ups.
-
Yeh, that’s not the best of match ups.
No...and not the "agreed" aircraft type.
When he first started asking me to duel a few months ago, he told me I could select the aircraft type. So..I picked WWI. He cried foul that is wasn't in the WWII arena.
So today I took him up on the WWII plane set, and he pulled the stunt he did.
He has zero integrity. agreeing to a duel and then showing up with a superior plane for the duel.

I am failing to see any humor in the post. But then again that maybe just me.
I would of posted film and left it at that. Most would of seen the offset match up (if indeed happened the way you say) and call lame on your opponent. But then again, you rant cheat every time you die.

Wait! What!?!
Tickets were not sold for this long awaited event?
This is absurd!!
I can't even look at you right now.

Great right up and a helluva FUSS the last few months👊💪
The matter is settled in the eyes of the 🐐
Baaaahhhhh

Re Match ?
I call on the Rot and the Cap to have it out on film in the said Spit 1s.
Then we can argue about the outcome for 10 pages on here :aok
In fairness K4 V Spit 1 :rolleyes: unsporting if that is what happened.
-
And make sure you agree fuel load and no one should fire off half their ammo on the way to the fight to get that weight advantage. Running should be limited to 30 seconds.
:old:
If Cap re issues the challenge and the Rot does not accept it goes to Cap.

In here? or in AHfilm?

You can only attach items in the films and screen shots or training section.
Why yall not going to match play and dueling there? Dueling in the MA is never fair for the most part, someone always gonna have more E, plus it takes a lot longer to get to the fight area.

Apparently fairness is only a concern for 50% of this pissing matches, because one guy showed up in a late war moster to fight a spit1.. lol

That's where I wanted to duel...but he was insisting on the MA.
I can screenshot the AHfilm panel, and attach that. It will show the aircraft involved.

This is not yet backed up by any posted film evidence, and due to the OPs reputation, without such it would be improper to draw any conclusions.
When the AHFilm is presented, then we can question the airframes. I ahve seen these types of call outs start out with the terms "you take what ever you want, I could beat you in a mark1 Spitfire" on 200..

Film posted. Thank you for showing me how to do it. :salute

Tbh, I'd take on a 109k in a spit 1. All it takes is one overshoot to connect with a 303 to give them a PW, then dodge and dodge until they run out of 30s, then just have to keep dodging until death by PW. :devil
With a spit 1, you can turn inside very sharp making connecting with a 30mm very difficult and the 109 would continuously have to overshoot as it wouldn't be able to turn with the spit1 if it was determined to get the kill.
-
I'll ask the obvious question since it seems overlooked.
Did RotBaron know you were going to be flying a Spitfire Mk1?

Yes, from the OP......
Summary of Events
For months, Rotbaron had been making claims of superior piloting skill, challenging capera to a duel. After repeated discussions and delays, the challenge was formally accepted. Capera, as agreed, selected the aircraft: Spitfire Mk I, and the duel was set at 5,000 feet over a designated area between two bases.
Rot showed up on the film viewer at 6.4 K diving for speed getting to over 400 at the merge (almost 100 mph faster than the Spit MK1).
Capera bailed, but I think he should have fought it out. Just think of the bragging rights if you had won! And if Rot was half decent flying a K4 you should have lost so no shame on your part.
-
There is no proof Rot agreed to the terms in the film provided. :old:

Does anyone else find this debate about competition in a computer video game to be a bit silly?

And are there any witnesses to Capera's claim that this was all agreed to?
Not trying to stir the pot but this is all one sided at the moment.

Isn’t it a bit silly? Maybe, but that’s why we’re here, right? My post was both in fun and to make a point. Maybe.....you could see it for what's worth, and roll with it a little.
-

Your question is completely valid.
From the start, our duel was based on him challenging me and allowing me to choose the aircraft. When I saw that his name included "Baron," I assumed he had some connection to WWI aviation, just as I do, since I come from a WWI flight community. So, I chose a WWI aircraft. However, as I mentioned earlier in this post, he protested, claiming it was unfair when I picked WWI.
That disagreement was what delayed our duel. Today, I agreed to a WWII match and clearly laid out the terms: Spitfire 1, 5,000 ft, sector 7.10.1.
As per the film..... he "chose" to show up in the 109K-4

Restitution is to be had. Demand a rematch and sneak in a Tempest.

I have to say the result will not change the world but it is a question of good sportsmanship and gentlemanly behaviour and that is important :old:
Where is RotBaron ?
All I know about Cap is he is very good at annoying allot of people in the MA but for some reason like Moths to a flame they keep coming back for more. He called me out once and I just wished him all the best. If it gets all heated I think we are all old and clever enough to stop playing if we want to and if we don't we are part of the game. There is AH the game and 200 mine is bigger than yours game. Play the second at your own risk.
BTW mine is bigger and better than all or yours so I have nothing to prove :devil
By the way there are no mythical noobs put off by toxic BS on 200 or here. It is Standard :frown:
Finally if we met in person we would all find we have so much in common in our love of WW2 history and Flight Simms we would get on famously.
-
I understanding dueling in the main arena because the main arena has 2x fuel multiplier meaning you might not have enough fuel if you select 25%.
It adds a layer of difficulty.
-
Where is RotBaron ?
I have not idea where he is. I told him at the time of the incident that I was posting this, and he encouraged me to do so. Yet.....no RotBaron.
Yarbles. I would like to apologize to you, and this goes to anyone else reading this. Not making excuses, but I have been sick for the past 10 years. An unfortunate byproduct of my service. Its taken me over 10 years to get my reactions under control. Not proud of those years, nor my reactions online. Good news is... I am better now. Well, not 100% and still not completely out of the woods, but life is enjoyable again and my reactions to everyday life are more in line with 'normal' than me getting triggered, and who knows what I would say.
I know not too many people like me here on the forums, and this is based on my bad behaviour in the past, so I understand and able to carry that. All I can do is focus on the present and future.
:salute
-
I sympathise but I think it is worth considering if you are bringing out the best in other people.
-
<chomps popcorn>
Competition with emotions means the game is still working.
If there was none I’d be worried.
Just to be clear, I AM the bestest ever and will duel 5 at a time, sporting my trade mark Hai Karate cologne aromatic victory aroma,…mere peasants.

Personal abuse though :uhoh
I am not saying it is one way either :bolt:
But if that is how people enjoy themselves................... ...................... :rolleyes:
I guess though that sounds like I think I am better than that :o :o
I have accepted I am not particularly great at anything but that does not make rubbish at everything :banana:
What i find extrodinary is people complain about it and then endlessly come back for more !! Eventually one person is temporarily thrown out of the sand pit and the others gloat and then it all starts again. I just wonder how people are apparently so un self aware not to realise it is nothing until you respond.
-
This like the bum fights that use to be on YouTube. We knew there was some dim bulbs but we all still sat there and watched lol
-
What’s asserted here is so riddled with falsehoods and inconsistencies from the OP all I can say is see the Ta152 thread and go from there on this one.
The OP can’t even recall when and how this all started but I can imagine Big Dawg and Mothman might since they witnessed/participated in the genesis at Knight strats when I encountered capera and tried for a 1v1 to which he called in nearby help.
2nd of all I’m certain about 2% or less of existing players care enough about a spat between he and I for me to spend anymore time on this.
Thanks
:salute

Any bettors in here? What’s the over/under on 2% of players…? Lol
I’ll take under at (-125)

Sorry to change the subject... but, has anyone seen where the Chicken & Dumplings thread went to? :O
