If Skyyr's there, that's another reason to avoid it.


Yep.  Cuz he will pwn you.   Can't learn anything from that...unless you ask.

I think most people are just scared to lose.  What they don't know is that some of the best friendships I have in this game came directly out of the DA.  Everyone should find a way to have fun in the game, but remember, if you crash in the game you get to up a bran new ride.


Every DA challenge I have joined, as challenger or challenged, has resulted in a friendship.

I couldn’t agree more ChangeUp. I have had some very challenging fights with and against your squad in the DA and it was good to be invited.

Deck merges, no HOing on the first pass (I had real difficulty with that one!) and just general good natured fights until someone exploded and rinse and repeat more often than not talking to your opponent on vox through the whole fight.
I think it sharpens you up and is a lot different from “Furball Lake”.

It is so very easy to criticise everything and become cynical about everything, especially on game because you might be mistaken for someone who genuinely enjoys it if you were to thank opponents, compliment them and generally display some modicum of manners.

If half the “tough guys” were to fight with you across a table, the macho would disappear very quickly. It is so unchallenging to talk tough across an anonymous broadband connection. Anyone can do it. Some of us have professions where we have to go in very hard very often. Aces High is a good way of treating people civilly. I can pick the crew that are not able to assert themselves in any other facet of their lives.
They’re usually the most aggressive.

Anyway, full agreement with OP – well played.

We as a squadron used to do our trainings at DA (not TA) practice: 2 vs 2 or 4 vs 4, sometimes combination of 2 fighters vs 2 bombers + 2 escort etc. I remember we used to train Yak-9 escort for IL-2 vs 109s and 190s.

It is great arena for these purposes (much better than TA)

1. Gives "realistic" damage
2. Allows to start at "high" altitude from the begging saving time to climb.

It is especially good for squadron trainings before big events like Scenarios were you fly same type of plane vs other type of plane that you don't usually see at MA like F4F vs A6M2

Dueling itself isn't that interesting IMHO, because sometimes at MA you can have much more interesting setups.

all this talk of shadow like you guys are humping him. 

He has the dedication / determination / competitive spirit to improve.   Will be interesting to see if he can reach Middy's 5% before I did but he shades things up and has probably been playing for much longer than he attests too.    ;)

Ah the DA, great with the right people, JG5 and 133RAF have has most good times in there.

The cess pool is probably the worst part. Thankfully isolated from the other fields.
Although the lake can be shut down with a single C202, but then you are left begging squadmates to up.

There was no mention of midway nor did/does anyone care about the '5%', why egg him on? I don't understand the logic here, bruv.

You've said yourself you hate the way midway sucks up to you, yet you yourself bring him up for no valid reason, begging him to come in here and do what he does best, just to annoy others.

I just don't see why someone Would consistently egg on that which he says he dislikes... Just saying...




Carry on, thread :)

Best place to practice in a 38 and 47.  Let them have the plane advantage and E advantage.

You've said yourself you hate the way midway sucks up to you, yet you yourself bring him up for no valid reason, as if you miss his ankle humping since he's been gone/less active the past few months...

Must you discuss me, redbull?  I neither "suck up" nor do any "humping" as you put it.  I admire and respect pilots of great skill and strength of character like Bruv.  Must you be jumping on me for being nice, respectful, and in awe of said pilot's awesome skills?

Consider that I have never ever downed him in a 1 v 1 after hundreds of attempts, whereas i've downed you dozens of times in less attempts. :joystick:

Do you now see why i admire said triple TOC winner's awesome skills? :)
