That is not going to delay the posting of the ntrk showing that backstabber not showing up to an honest fight (or getting blown from the sky if he does).

Yes, I doubt few of you self-proclaimed experts can match up against WD in a duel.

And I wouldn't call a private online match or coop a part of online community.

The online playing is dying. It is definitely true. Back in 2005, I wouldn't have to search Xfire for hours but failed to find a decent server to play in.

$25 bucks says you cant or wont show up for a fair co-altitude duel and win a best of seven. You do, and you win fair and square, I'll publicly kiss your azz in this forum and give you the 25 bucks (thru Paypal). You will talk trash behind others' backs and spout hate, but when the bullets start flying, you will turn tail and crash into the sea. Prove me wrong patsy.

WD Fights, (full real), Jan 30th, at 7 PM PST, Xfire. (and we will use 4.11, since you are clearly a master of its CEM) Server is crt=2. I will make an Ntrk track, whether you show up or dont. Mediafire will be happy to host an ntrk of your absence out of fear. Bring Thor with you too. You need a witness.

Show or no show, I will be posting that Ntrk here for all to see.

Any excuses you spout in this forum = cowardice. (even one tiny one). Time to man up and let us see your awesome 4.11 CEM. I cant wait.
LOL! You should have taken my advice! I'm quite sure that you will beat me in your silly little contest. You will have proven nothing of your expertise in WWII airplanes though. How 'bout we have a go in my area of expertise? Pistols at 25'.

Woah what are you doing wrong?
Spits V 109's always has someone on it, and there were around 40 on the last ghost skies test mission last night.

The only ones that are dying are the stock servers, as no one wants to play a 10 year old game in its pure (obsolete) form.

You miss the point.

If anything, being good online means you must be prioritizing gaming over historical reality.

Hence having good skills online means either nothing at all, or worse that you are biased towards the gaming aspects of the sim and hence LESS qualified to make comments on the historical correctness of flight models.

So many broad brush statements now.

So, all online virtual flying is just "gaming" because it's online?

You know better.

That is not going to prevent me from posting the link to the Ntrk, that has you as a no show for a formal duel. I previously served in the Marines after college NROTC (in fact the Marines helped me make it thru college), and I am not sure you would win the pistol competition either.

You want to banter with someone good naturedly, or poke a bit of fun, I'm all for it (even if I am the target). But the personal attacks have no place. I'm glad you like 4.11 and think everything associated with it is gravy on your tators, but just bc someone else does not agree with you, is not a reason to start a personal attack. Stick to the facts, use data like Papa or put up your own ntrk showing where I went wrong, and you will see I am actually pretty humble at times, and more than willing to admit if I feel I am wrong.

I'm trying to get onto Xfire, but I'm having trouble, as I don't usually use it. As far as you being a Marine I have a hard time believing it as I have several close friends who are Marines and they would be deeply embarrassed by your behavior in this forum.

Again I reiterate, your expertise in playing a video game has no bearing on your expertise in anything else.

Edit: Oh, and by the way, I don't give a flying F**k what you or any one that cares about you opinion thinks about me.

As far as I remember, Oleg and team indeed had ex-WWII pilots for flight testing their stuff. But that's just off the back of my head, so I hope that scheme (and the marine thingy ) doesn't fail like your "university-educated engineer" one did .

Still looking forward to that interview with hallowed Capt. Whatshisface!
