It's exactly the same, I was just being a prat and using an aviation term.

when ever you are ready steyr_amr

Hey everyone, i tell you something that match i had with steyr_amr was one of the most intense matches ever played, If only there was a video! we were drawing in the last 3 minutes and i got killed, so i rushed over as fast as i could to try and get a last second kill, I spot him at 500ft, i climb, he avoids and we both hit the deck dodging trees left right and center, Then i lose him in the last 20 seconds, i look left then right and left once more,
"There he is" i turn to intercept guns firing like a mad man, Round upon round sprays his wings 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, "FAILED" and as soon as the message comes up i shoot him down.

Steyr_amr you hold much respect from me now, truly tense fighting

Yep was such a highlight, when you went down over the sea with 2 minutes to go I had a huge hole in my starboard wing, but I was only 1 point ahead so I couldn't ditch, but nor could I run away and hide somewhere, so I thought I'd climb towards you. Spotted you low and fast but I wasn't high enough to avoid you, and I had by then learned that you are devastating in a head on pass, so I tried to present as difficult an angle as possible. You still managed to clip my port wing so I turned (more like "fell" though with my plane in the condition it was) into you. From then on it was a dodging session at 50ft. I never saw you once but I would often hear the rattle of your guns and try to jink any which way I could. Then no more than a second after "Mission Completed" I burst into flames and keeled over into the ground.

Wish we could have recorded it too, though then everyone would see me flying into the ground because I had target fixation on you, then respawning and jamming my flaps (d'oh!)

Have always had massive respect for you, especially in the Spitfire, which to me is like a flying unicycle. Even losing to you by a point or 2 would have been a massive boost for me.

Here's to the battle for europe mate.

I'm at work at the minute edal86, its just gone past 10am here, and I'll be home at around 6pm (which I think is 10am your time).

Haha ok, but I have like a 5 hour window in which to play starting at 6pm, so feel free to have a little lay on and let me have a bit of a practice first.
