just up 109g6, fly low and slow, preferably with a bomb, and you soon have 3 Lala7 and a pair of yak3 on you, screaming 'mine mine',  and you got your fight.
Remember not to drop the bomb or they might leave screaming 'it's an outrage' :D
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

It's really just the need for some to constantly gang and it's challenging in AH to avoid 6 190Ds and Yak3s diving down on ya. Then you reverse them and they hit X and run away. It's really that kind of flying that gets tiring for people to fight against.
Pretty much this.

People take their score and name in lights too seriously in the MA. Truth is, it takes very little skill to skew the stats in your favor and survival isn’t some magic ability in the MA either. When lesser players discover this they hang on score almost exclusively which is horrible for the game at large.

There are places to exercise the war/survival mentality. The MA isn’t that place in my opinion.

Come join Monday Night Madness in the Allies vs Axis arena tonight at 8pm EST if you want quick kills and deaths in a fun terrain for an hour or so. Even the targets are glad to see you come in.

One of the many pleasant features of MNM is that the close-quarters combat soon eliminates most of the late-war planes.  Flying in and out of the tall buildings works great for an early- or mid-war plane, but not so much for a 51D or an La5.  You are treated to real twisty-turney, 200-yard shooting, white-knuckle fights, which, so far as I can see, can't be found generally anywhere else.

AND, to top it off, it's a pleasant environment.  Everyone speaks on a common channel.  Everyone is friendly, laughing after he gets shot, congratulating the guy who got him.  No "WTG DUDE!" if someone lands kills (which I'm not certain I even saw). Virtually no face-shooting, and then mainly by accident or instinct.

Good fights, good sportsmanship, good camaraderie.  What's not to like?

Young LatinLuv had the grace to move to the Match Play arena this night.  We had many fights.  He won them all; no contest, really.  But what a great time.

We should all try to populate that arena some more.

I had fun in the very short time I had to fly. I kept getting interrupted by my gorgeous wife of 30+ years.

You would think that with "most popular player displeasure arguments being ENY" HT would wake up and fix it.

You would think, with the most popular player displeasure arguments being ENY and large three sided maps and all, that there would be a stampede for the AvA.  :D
