FWIW, I think he was complimenting you on having good SA and being difficult to kill. As an outsider to the exchange, it seemed like this and not gloating.

You are probably right. I just got it the wrong way most probably. I'll be first to admit that it's pretty frustrating trying to survive against two well flown Spits in a Brewster. If for nothing else, it's because of the angles one can land crippling shots with hispanos. And the fact that we are "dragging" the actual plane that the other FE sees behind us and also because of the fact that Brewster looses its horizontal stabilizer from one hispano hit. :( I'll definately admit that I've died plenty in those type of situations..and will countinue to. It doesn't matter though, I love my Brewster. :)

Because of that frustration I read too strongly into your post Bruv...

My apologies!

I have an AH account because of FSO.  If it weren't for that little sliver of "history" I'd be gone.

If it wasn't for 200, I would have quit a long time ago.    :lol     :bolt:

Film is there and all are there to draw whatever conclusion they want to.

1) You lied in that you were low on fuel and RTB, you lied that you were trolling. All you had to say is I didn't want to fight you 1 on 1 so I waited until I had help so I could get another kill. Or say nothing at all...

2) My 200 conduct is pretty good. Please elaborate for me...

3) I'm not telling anyone (even you) how to play the game. I simply registered my disappointment on 200 that I didn't get the chance to fly a 1 on 1 vs either of the 239's. I would have found that an enjoyable fight. I brought it to the BBS based on your comments on 200. I'd like to see the game swing back more to a sense of fair play vs the continual gang banging we see all the time.

4) I did not "insult you. I simply voiced my disappointment since I would have preferred to test my skill against either (or both one at a time) of the 239's. Your the one who insulted me on 200. Had you beaten me (which given your skill and the plane matchup you certainly should have) I'd have gladly complimented you and thanked the other 239 for allowing the fight.

5) you wouldnt know "dignity" if it bit you in the posterior.

Lol stop making more of a joke of yourself Humble. You had every chance to break the fight and head to another direction instead of following wmaker. You chose to follow and ended up in knee deep. Suck it up and go play some more.

Exactly the other way around here. Stopped flying snapshots, scenarios and other organized stuff long time ago. If there were no MA, I'd be gone.

I was looking for you guys. I saw no reason to break off and had no particular expectation of "fair play". I simply expressed my disappointment that I didn't get a chance to fight one of you guys straight up. Given both the reputation the fins have for scrapyness and pride you take in flying your 239's I thought I might just get some consideration given the circumstances. Obviously I was mistaken in my thought that one of you might have welcomed such an encounter.

I like flying or driving on the edges and getting free proxy kills when you both die.   :x   :cheers:
