Did somebody say "Squad mentality in the DA"?

I think I just barfed in my mouth a little bit.

The DA..IS the training arena. Anyone who is half way decent has spent alot of time in a dueling arena at some point. The furball thing isnt what Im talking about. Its dueling people 1 on 1 like TC and Bat that make people improve. Before you know it,3k will be enough altitude and the days of picking and such will be behind you. Wtg.

Yeah im with ya on tht I fought with Bosco and Roultox and Flew in furball and learnt to fight really well

Plus until recently i also practiced my bombing   :t

Always fun Dodger, DA is often great becuase of people like you that will be happy to auger their furball sortie to do some duels.

It's one of the first things I think I've perfected but I'm still practicing.

DA's fun...BatfinkV hands me my butt for about an hour or 2 or so...one of the SE's did it not long ago...venture over to the furball area where I get picked or beat up on for another hour.

Fighting Bat is really the most I learn from. Being redHeaded I truly live up to the Redheaded stepchild thing.

Out of boredom and trying to bait a certain EW/MW player **cough*fireplug*cough** to the DA, Bronk and I spent some time in the furball lake.  We had fun chasing down Temps and F4U-4s.  We never really had any "good" fights.  Just Conga lines everywhere you looked.

LOL!  He still plays?  I would have thought after being caught red handed vulching a 2nd account, he'd given up on the game.  Guess not.

well despite this exageration (we beat each other savagely, never fight without both taking damage) we generaly always both learn. Anyone can be the winner of each new fight and no two fights can be the same. The guys who have slapped me about over the years know who they are and one of them is you Red.
 S!


Edit: oh i just thought about this ans smiled....when i asked you what you thought about a spitfire squadron back in AH1, it was because you were the best spitfire i pilot i knew on knights and your reputation had caught my attention :)

Just a thought....


Those 10 hours per week might show better results if you flew those 10 Hours in the Training Arena with a skilled Trainer, rather than Furball Lake in the DA.




TC is the head trainer.
