I suggested that kill points be modified by ENY, and there was mostly positive response.  It would make it a little more difficult to get a high rank flying low ENY aircraft.

Seems like a good idea but the system is so broke it would make little difference. IMHO

So, since you are one of the best vulch/pickers I have ever met in this game, please enlighten us.  What does knowing you are #1 without having to beat anyone in a fight do for your ego?  You are #1 in what?

Read again what I wrote, if you will still have questions let me know, pls.

I am also ready to DA with you just for a little fun, even as rusty as I am at the moment. Again, just let me know when. -)

I just laugh when i am in a F6F or 190a8 and a spit 16 or La kills me.  Then seeing that same person on 200 telling me i have no skills. :rolleyes:

I guess they have to feel good about them self when they kill a easy target with a plan that needs no skills at all.

To be successful in any fighter requires skill.  Don't delude yourself into thinking that just because a plane is easy to fly that it doesn't require any skill to fly one successfully.

Does take some skill...... just not much in some cases. The easier the plane the less skill required to be successful.

F6 is an easy target for a run90?  :rofl

Calling the 190A8 a run 90 compared to a F6F is surprising
 
I'm seriously rusty but last time I checked the F6F climbed better ,tuned better and had 6 deadly 12,7mm when  A8 had just a bit more speed with WEP.

Ahhhh, you missed the question mark at the end  :lol  That is what I am saying, the F6 is not an easy target for the Run90. 

To be clear, run don;t meant something is fast.  I had spitVs trying to get away from an LA7  :rofl

Well, actually all information you need to get the answer for your question is in my first post. Have you read it again, as I asked? My English is not that good, so if something is not clear there, let me know -)

DA is, as I wrote, for fun. Considering I am not flying more than couple hours per month I probably will lose, but some practice will be nice anyway.

9 CST is late for me. It is early morning here. Will look for you at weekends -)

I don't see what your laughing at.

Ya know how far that La-7 had to chase your"run90" before he could kill it?

Not funny.
