Dueling Arena squads disbanded

[Guppy35]

Can't believe I just took the time to read all this

To clarify it all from a low flying 38G driver's perspective.

In an ideal AH, the DA would be a place where the allegiance is to the fight, not to a squad.  It would be point's less and landing kills messages would not exist.  To me this does away with the boom and zoom Tempests and others only worried about kills and attaboys for landing what in the end are unearned kills.  If that's what you want, to to the MA, spend the perks and have at it.

The goal would be improving ACM.

As others have mentioned.  Furball lake would be just that.  A place to furball.  Those engaged in said furball would also be smart enough to ask those engaged in a fight if they needed or wanted help before entering.   There is nothing better then a nice even numbered furball.  Living and landing is never the goal, but seeing how long you can last and how many you can take with you is.

The goal would be fun and learning, not trying to convince everyone that your small joystick is bigger then it really is.

Sadly it isn't anywhere near this.

I understand this is wishful thinking, and I don't expect it to change.

So I'll just continue wandering below the fight, hoping the baduns will come down and play with my 38G

Not sure I would consieder Creton a "DA" pilot.

Bear in mind that I have know an flown with/against Creton for what now.... 5 years?    6 maybe?

Actually, there were 2-3 on the  list of potential DA pilots that I know I fight all the time in the LW's.

Yeah it's a problem we have that most all of our guys also fly MA.  I just named alot of guys I see that I've fought against just off the top of my head that I see in the DA quite a bit.  I would say 80% of the guys in the DA also fly MA they just spend more time in the DA.  To be honest I don't think we have but just a few that are just DA pilots.  Almost every guy on my list flys MA alittle.  I'll leave it up to Creton no big deal if he don't want to, but I'll ask him if he thinks he flys DA 50% of the time.

They stick out like a sore thumb in the Late War Arenas.   Sat. Night they were by A30 and you'd see them all on a lone Con's 6.   5-6 of them at times.   Watching them flail, spray, etc my 38J was comedic at times.

Some of that "squads members" were upset with what I said earlier in this thread, only because the truth stared them in the face.   Personally, I don't care to understand their "mob mentality in the DA".   It isn't necessary and if they really want to set up a duel between DA/MA, I'm in.

Top 5,10...IDGAF.    You're on.   I'll take an "MA" spot.  You wanted it, you got it.

Well said and I appreciate your honesty and hospitality of keeping your message professional.

Now, let's say it's K4 vs K4. Erm... I have no advantages! Hmm... what do I do? Well, in that case it all depends on what my opponent wants to do! It's more of a chess match because you have no dominant strategy you can use....

I can't stand to see my favorite board game used as an analogy for symmetry.  In chess, from the very first move, White attacks and Black defends.  There is nothing symmetrical about it.

Air combat can be compared to Chess in so far as there are good and bad moves.  Seeing someone split-S on the merge is comparable to someone who opens with their rook's pawn.  Skilled opponents are going to go very far into their ACM/chess match where the moves they make have been made many, many times previously before they begin to improvise.

I personally have not seen any of those in MAs except creton. Doesn't mean they don't fly in there though.

I was just in DA and only a half dozen were on from The rowdyone and the aerofighters, and i killed them all with ease. Then they quit upping. They were being outflown in their twisty-turny planes. Granted they're are killers when 3 or four dive on you. But 1 on 1 they're seemed like easy fights. They showed no ACM but fly in a tight circle when i got saddled up. And I didn't even make it to the 2nd round of the dueling competition we just had. 

I tryed being polite and saluted them all but never once even so much as got a reply from this crowd
Sad part is someone has told them that flying f4u4s, spits and tempests in a pack is the way to go.
Trust in your own abilities DA squads.

I take it you now realize you wouldn't stand a chance right?  Because if you did, you would've accepted correct?   It's amazing how some fold like a card table when gently leaned on.

See?   Someone else is witnessing it.   It is actually funny at times to loiter above those clowns and watch 6 of them take 1 or 2 minutes to get the con.

Shane and I used to get sick of them ganging everyone so we'd circle over their field and rack up 20kills each as they all tried to climb up to us. We'd only quit after they'd conceded to stop ganging.

Was boring as hell.

So when you call out someone for how they are flying at any particular time how do you know they are not doing the same as you and shane?

Thats where the hypocracy starts to creep in to the whole argument.

[Scotch]

Nope.

The ones I laugh at are the ones that come in and try and vulch at furball lake.

The TAS guys tried to go the MW arena awhile back and left after a tour.  They kept on getting smacked around so they finally upped and went back to the DA.  One of the more sad pilots in TAS was a guy named Spacey, I've never seen a player that could be consistently out turned in an A6M5.
