Why does the turd in the punch bowl always get so much attention?

It's important to point the turd out so someone doesn't mistake it for a Baby Ruth bar.

So wait you want the duel to be in different planes? How is that fair?

Make it same plane same alt. the better one will emerge victorious.

It's clearly stated.......take it or leave it.

My intent was to make the offer to those who have posted on the forums that I won't duel.

The intent was not to call out the entire forum.

I'll name a few names........Ratio, Fulcrum, Debrody, AKAK/ackack, and a few others who claim I won't duel.

Was on a long phone call with dad so was out of the arena for an hour but will be around sporadically until 12 midnight eastern standard time.

Leave the animosity here and let's have some fun.

I say better. You in 190D and me in 190D, on the deck, 50% fuel. Here are my terms, let the others judge, whose ones are more acceptable.
Setting up nonsense terms then saying that we dont want to fight only because your terms are stupid, idiotic, pointless, boring, unacceptable, is simply a sign of an insane mind.

Congratulations, you have just pulled a gayclef.

Terms being clarified for the intellectually challenged such as debrody.

Terms are........

Same plane

Ammmo/ord loadout open

Fuel load open

Fights must be near it's highest known altitudes as reported in action reports.

Take off from 2k fields 20 and 23 and meet in the middle at the agreed upon altitude unless distance insufficient for agreed upon altitude.

Two helpful links for altitude data.

icepac, humour me for a second, this isn't a troll for once...

i have done a bit of duelling in my time in AH but am by no means an expert...

can you (or anyone) explain to me how fuel management is relevant in a 1v1 duel?
Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

I'm trying hard to think of the last time I climbed to 28K for a "duel"....hhmmmmm

Oh yeah!!!!!  A few months back.....in another sim!!!





You are easily the strangest cartoon person I have ever encountered in my 8 years playing this game.  I used to think ManOWar had that one cornered...but you just rocketed to the top baby!

Congrats, IceTray!

It means we won't be grinding around on 25% fuel forever in La7s at 100 feet altitude.

If you don't bring enough fuel, you lose.

Current score is Icepac 1, challengers 0
