Widewing,
I'm not repeating myself again over a thread and episode that was months ago, if you like link the old thread and post the film then do it, and if you post the film post it from the start and post it in a new thread so it isn't lost in this one.. But remember the challenge you gave out was a open one no communication was ever given prior about DA rules especially one with reduced range of 1.5k.
It is hilarious that you think I used F3 in the DA, and hilarious that I would use it in a Yak out of all planes in the set. What on earth advantage would I gain from using F3 in a Yak when it is the only plane in the game that has a better view looking backwards then forwards?
As for the "he won't duel" that's also ridiculous, no I won't in the DA under your long list of rules but if you want to again in the MA with no rules I will any time. Like I do against many others who specifically go out looking for duels against me. If you want to do the same, do so and fly what ever you want. You can post those films as well.
I know you like to think of the DA as your personal sandpit but it doesn't interest me and never has.
Now F3 in the MA for buffs is one of the longest going cheats that's ever been in AH, using F3 for gunning instead of dropping into turrets, but now seeing it being used in the A20 is something else. IMHO the F3 view should of been dumped long ago.
While I respect the information,training and time you put towards this community I'm not some two month newbie or one of your groupies, if your going to make claims about me then go for it. But one of Timid and "he won't duel" won't stick.
And thanks for the new sig.

I didn't say DA, did I? It was in the TA, and you used it any time you lost sight of me. Again, not an issue, I used it too. Not to fight, but to track you as you extended halfway to New Zealand.
I've watched the films you posted to the Help and Training forum. Generally, what you are offering is lessons on picking guys occupied in a fight, or helpless noobs with zero skill.

http://www.4shared.com/file/67039966/d872b91a/Phew.htmlThe fact is, unless forced upon you, you will not engage without a significant advantage in altitude or speed. Even with every advantage, your timidity undoes you on occasion.

You cannot deny that the reason you won't duel is that a duel means equality at the outset. Equality in your case means taking the risk of getting your clock cleaned, which is something you apparently can't handle. You could always put the suicide hotline on speed dial, or you could accept the fact that getting beat is nothing more than part of the learning process.
You don't like rules because rules would highlight your shortcomings. We wouldn't think less of you for that. Your issue is that you seem unable deal with it on your own level.
So, inasmuch as rules make you uncomfortable, how about a duel with just one rule. One teensie, weensie, little rule. Shouldn't be too tough, right?
You can't fight this duel in the DA, so it would be in the TA. We go to a large field. We each take an aircraft. You can fly your Yak-9T. I'll take something less sprightly. Let's say.... A Boston Mk.III or if you prefer, some comparable fighter like a P-39Q or even the -9T, okay? Any fuel load you want is fine. We spawn on opposite runways and get the engines running. On a given signal, we roll, passing as we take off. upon reaching the end of the runway, we reverse. Okay, now comes the one rule... You cannot leave the horizontal boundaries of the airfield (the outer taxiways). Cage Match!!!!
Anyone who flies outside the boundary loses by default.
One simple, easy to understand rule. There should be no confusion or miscommunication.
Should be a no-brainer, right?
Since there's no gun lethality in the TA, winning is based upon how many times one gets hosed, or augers, or throws a hissy-fit and logs off.
Should you do well, I'll tip my hat to you. Should you not do well, I'll still tip my hat to you. Indeed, should you let yourself go, be a wild child, throw caution to the winds, you might even have fun. What's the worst that could happen? You break a few cartoon airplanes, right? Not to worry, the HTC Xerox machine will spit 'em out as fast as they get wrecked.
My regards,
Widewing
