 Point is, it still takes multiple passes.  Assuming you were arguing that last point.

Not if you can aim Fwoggy.

I have films where 20mm's light up the entire plane nose to tail on multiple passes, yes the bullets are spread out so less damage.

that has to be alot of porn you are downloading.


tiffy hasnt changed that much. Its still as easy as ever. no harder to fly than any La7 or P38.

Btw, I do have news for you on the P38. It is one of the easiest planes to fly.

Yeah Stang, on some people's keyboards.

Slappy, please tell me you're not one of those guys whose wife comes into the room and says, "Take me now or lose me forever you big stud!" and you reply, "Not now dear I'm stallfighting in my dweebfire, it's more fun!"

I said the next best thing ... How much next I didn't think I needed to quantify.

"Take me now or lose me forever you big stud!" ... at that point, I would auger like a lawn dart ... I'm afraid that you would say ... "Wait dear ... I got to land this sortie otherwise I will be "ticking" all over the place and it will ruin my K/D" ... and the mood is lost.

Oh slapshot, please point out my "back peddeling". I don't see it yet. Thanks.

Keep looking ... you will see it ... your welcome.

... But the ultra timid flyer running when the cards are stacked in his favour, that I don't get.

Is he running, or is he on autopilot while he's away taking the trash out?

Then again how can the Gumby pilot get tired when HE CAN EVEN MOVE IS OWN FEET!!!

I havent read teh whole thread, but this comment alone makes you an instant ignore target.

Like someones intrinsic value drops when they need a wheelchair? Think (if that be possible) of the president who led America through the depressiona and WW2 -- would you dis his tenacity and courage? You think you could show more cajones than he did?

Is that why you're an "x-marine" in North Hollywood instead of a leader remembered by history? Because you can move your feet?

AH is a game, yes. But anyone who thinks it's "just a game" hasn't been paying attention. This community has been around since 1987. It has its lore, its patriarchs, its fallen, its lineage, its lingo, and its sense of value.

This community has been around since 1987.

That's one of the things which sticks out in my mind.  Some of the younger kids weren't even born yet when it got started.

Slapshot, if ya want to discuss something, you are gonna need to speak up and say something.  Please point it out sir.  If ya want me to re read something that's not there to waste time, go somewhere else.

OK ...

Here you say ...

I'm not going to tell people how to fly. But I will say this. If you land kills in any spitfire, la7, niki or hurri, and still think you are some "great pilot" at this game, then you have problems.

Go ahead, get kills in those plane, do whatever you need to to compete with other pilots at different skill levels, just don't think for a second that you are a great pilot in AH.

but after being verbally spanked ... you go on to say ...

You can be a great pilot in a spitfire, hurri, C205, La7 mossie, GREAT. Have fun. Fly anything you want. REread my earlier post. And for the spitfire pilots that were upset in this thread. I didn't mean to get you upset.

If I flew a spitfire vs spitfire against some of you here, I'd probably lose in the first turn. I'm just used to fighting without outturning my enemy.

So in one post, anybody that flys spit, la, hurri ... has no clue and could never achieve the "great pilot" status ... and then you backpeddle and say that they can.

You then go on to admit that you have absolutely no clue as to how to fly a Spit and that some of us could beat you in one turn. So, bottom line, you really have no clue as to what it takes to survive in a Spit, that can just about outturn every plane out there, but cannot (except the XIV and the XVI) run away from anything. Once engaged in a Spit ... you have to fight till your dead or they are all dead ... no chance for escape. Try that for awhile ... I bet you wouldn't last a week.

Once you get into a slow fight on the deck with a spitfire and have dumped all your E and are now slower than the spit, there is no where to go be finish the fight til death in the typhoon.

If there is a pony or la7 or d9, once slow, you can't get away unless you dive when the other guy is behind you and going in the opposite direction.  That will give you a head start and allow another merge to happen.

If I'm flying a spit and don't have to fight another spit, I'll most likely win the fight only because I will have the better turning plane.  This only applies if the other guy is in a turning fight.

As for the example of me backpeddeling, I did say that you can be a " great pilot in a spit, hurri..." meaning the plane will allow you to fight better.  I did not say a great pilot in general.  Which is why I said to reread my earlier post.  Fly those planes to help you.  I hope that clarified it for ya.
Remember, if the 189D9 pilot turns with a spitfire, he has to beat the spitfire pilot for he will not beat the spitfire plane in the turns.

This is the reason..............

There is no shame in the game................

[Shane]

yes!! bring back the "xxx shot down" message!!

[Tilt]

1) Nominate a range based cross country channel

 put "shame" messages on this channel (keeping down total arena traffic)

Goober crashed
Goober bailed
Goober shot down
Goober captured


2) Tie system kill tally reports to Perks earned.

eg  a threshold of 2 kills and 2 perks (or 3 or 4 to be decided) before the announcement is made

This will encourage wannabe aces to fly planes that have higher ENY values or at least pick fights with ac of similar ENY.



3) Reward 30% plus damage assists with minor perks and only give full kills when 65% plus damage is down to one player.

Gang bangers collect assists where as duelers tend to collect kills......shorter daisy chains


4) when qualifying under 2 above ........ list kills and assists in the report.


"Goober" (Spit IX) awarded 3 kills and 2 assists.
