Hacker,

that was because it was so easy to reverse on you and go offensive they were staring forward for most of the fight.

True, most of the time (I can only speak for the Dark Gray...with 220s no way I'll turn with ya...with 229s I'll be your huckle berry)...so what you're telling me is: Kill Hornets BVR, don't get slow & when fighting Sigtauenus go 2-circle.

At least we are both talking about McD products. Got'a love them

Man this is going downhill fast...

2 circle can work if I hold my numbers, but once I'm bled down I'm toast, which I did tended to do too often 2 circle. Besides, last time I got to mix it up with some Eagles they had AESA, HMS and 9X. Not quite fair, although they did tend to lose a lot of generators.

Good thing we're on the same team, eh?

Sigtauenus,

It would be the same for us vs. light grays...but at least we have a WSO for a food source.

Hacker - don't let the WSO union see that or I'll be back on their hate mail list.

Cheers
