I remember the first real fights I encountered you NikonGuy, flying your alias nickname that made me aware this was not some noob 2weeker. I am not sure how long ago this is now, a couple of weeks ago maybe? I believe we were fighting over tank town and my base as Rook was to the NW. The fights were mostly just outside our base, and I remember the sun was irritating this particular day..
Anyway, we had some really good fights that day/night. And I was flying a variety of 109's and other planes at those sorties.
You killed me several times over and over, I killed you a couple of times. But the one fight I remember the best is when I let you live after I had smoked your plane and I believe made some good damage. I noticed the fight was over for your part, as you went low past our base and started heading home barely over the weeds. I had gun solution on you for a little while, just to see if you would try to reverse me once more. You did not, so I figured I could just let you live to make it back home in your one engine P38. I broke off and climbed back into the sun.
4-5mins later I saw you landed 4 kills, so atleast I know you made it home safe. 
Haha was that you ..
I thought you may not have seen me under your nose.
So let me say good on you sir .. a true gentlemen and yes I do same on occasion and I wish there were more like yourself. Score means nothing to me or else I would be flying a pony and picking then running for my life at 400mph. I like to get in there with something that is a challenge to fight in .. the 38 is a good fit for me.
You win some, you lose some and in the process have some fun and more often than not make a good friend. But AH is full of all sorts, some like the score, some like the fight, some like to teach what they know. Everyone to their own
I have a new philosophy in that if I am getting ganged on the deck by three or even ten cons, its no ones fault but mine. I put me there .. no one else did, so therefore I do not have the right to whine or bleet on 200 or the forums about it. Yes it can be frustrating and tempers flare but at the end of the day its a game and the most it means to me is the friends I have made and the new friends that will come along. We are all the same and may I say in the last week with a new identity, I have gone out of my way to go and fly other countries with people I have had issues with in the past and you realise when you are in the fight that they are just like me and will chk my 6 and help me get out of there. This whole Nits are idiots or Rooks are this and that is ridiculous.
There is a good group of people here and I salute you all
