I thought while watching it that this is whats wrong with the MA,as you did engage nme that were already engaged, one was being put on fire and you still shot him and got the kill, one of the things I cant stand is when I am firing upon a nme and some green guys swoops in and kills him, that's why I try to avoid green guys as much as possible.

Just for clarification, I reversed and trailed a P-38, lined up and shot while simultaneously a friendly swoops in and scores a hit that starts a fire.  At some point, I saw the fire and continued to shoot anyways.  Your entitled to disagree with that, but I already invested 15+ seconds in reversing for guns.  I do not arbitrarily attack planes after they are on fire.  But I also do not concede "dibs" on fully functional and maneuverable fighters once I'm saddled up.  I've gotten multiple kills while on fire.  I've watched bogies on fire left go, who continue to shoot friendlies down.  Bomber BBQs are the other hand are not a maneuvering threat, and I consider them "dead" the instant a fire breaks out.

I re-watched it and and I am sorry that I spoke so harshly, there was less of the "hourd" then I first thought

I am satisfied that any mischaracterizations were corrected.

You are, but I'd be breaking a Rule by pointing out which one.  Or did I already break a Rule by pointing out a Rule was broken?   :headscratch:

Couldn't resist.  Usually if you have to ask if something you do is wrong, it almost always is.   ;)

Good help and training threads should be immune to bump violations imo.  This thread is great.

+1, this is just the sort of thing I've been looking for, but haven't been able to turn up using the search function.

Badboy or any of the other trainers with the tools to make the nice looking turn graphs, could you please post a graph comparing the turn rates of some of the more popular rides in AH. To simplify thing you could use x axis as speed and y axis as dps.

Thanks
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

I agree 100% Grizz....in fact, I think the best should have a special place on the AH board for review. There are some that go back as far as 99 that could be placed in a folder like that.

Indeed. Until this thread was posted the best answer I could come up with for the topic was "away from the bullets."
