Re: Dog fights

May I recommend deepdiscount.com if you are interested in the whole season. Great prices!

Thanks for the tip, mine should be arriving next week. $5.95 shipping to Canada (Free if you are in the US). Best shipping price on eBay was $15.99.

Re: Dog fights

I think there is a couple of problems with Dogfights as it stands:
  • It just takes one side of the story, usually the victor. I think that this makes it a little un-balanced. (OK the vanquished is probably dead - so this might be a little tricky)
  • For extended fights the program is too short
  • They waste a lot of time continuously re-capping.
I think if they took it to more extended campaigns such as tank battles that would need to move to a more strategic viewpoint. Not sure how well that would work with this format.

Yes, I agree about the re-capping. With the all German Aces during WWII, would be cool to see a Ace take on and shoot down a dozen Russian aircraft.

Re: Dog fights

Apparently the new season has a show with a P-47 getting peppered pretty darn good. Still, I could care less about Axis, North Korean/Vietmanese, Soviet or Arab pilots and thier exploits, unless they are shown going down in flames. The only exception would be German on Soviet examples, Rudel busting T-34s would be cool. And yes the re-capping needs to go away.
