you've been a gv-field/ship gunnner for quite some time now.

time to admit to general a2a suckage and stop blaming your joystick - especially after allllllll the help you've been given in this regard.

Well Mr Shanewigger, I never claimed to be a fighter pilot like yourself "Mr GoG-All-Mighty", yes GoG not God.

Anyway, I dont fly fighters much as you can see, however, I can hold my own when I choose to do so.

The gv stuff is boring most of us to death, another few weeks and we will surrender. Grab a Tiger, whatever. Whole place is turning into a mini MA.

We were making good progress too, #s are up in the CT, we had squad nights that were regular, and now its "attack of the halftracks". One step forward and two back.

Finn-Russ tuesday night was pathetic. Last night wasn't much better.

Just a theory............. Back to back Russian Front scenarios suck.

Hey Shane, this may come as a suprise to you, and many others. There are not a lot of real pilots in AH. Everybody uses the word pilot pretty freely, to describe themselve's or others. In reality were not flying, but playing a glorified video game.
I'm sure there are a few more, but the only real pilots I know in AH, are Duke , and LtMagee. In fact Magee flies for a living.

However as far as jacking your stick....... Shane your one of the best I've ever seen.

Let me add a couple to that in VF-17 we have Talliven who drives airliners, and we have a former Marine F-4 Phantom backseater (Phantom4) who most likely has stick time. I have a few rides in Blackhawks as a passenger but thats nothing compared to driving people from place to place or putting it on the line to protect our country.

yes, i know. didn't he post a pix of one of his crashes?

besides what does any of that have to do with a game? i mean it's not like he's out there doing acrobatic maneuvers.

and thirdly, where was the word "pilot" even mentioned in this thread? ohhhhh there it is; i never claimed to be a fighter pilot. i do claim, however, that i push the virtual toys we're given to the very edge (and occasionally beyond) of their coded performances.

who knows what kind of r/l pilot i'd be... probably a dead one, cuz i can't see myself being satisfied with driving a sky-taxi. i'd probably get stupid with some kind of acrobatic plane. one of these days i'll check out that aces of america or whatever, sounds like a blast - hope i don't ram the other guy!

<--- who knows what the meaning of this might be?

The vice president of the company I work for did Aces of America thing last year down in Houston. Said it was a blast. Yep thats as close as I'll ever get to a real dogfight. I'm hoarding peenies for it now.

I want everybody to know Magee did not offer an apology, he offered an apolagy. It must be some custom they have in Georgia.

LtMagee vs Jg3 for January 2004

How do you find your stats vs a squad or certain players?

1Duke1 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 28, 2004, 10:58:54 PM »

Unfortunately being an actual pilot can be a somewhat of a disadvantage, at least for me, and as a result, I still suck as a sim pilot:D

The biggest factor missing for me is the seat-of-the-pants feel that you have and rely on when dogfighting in a real plane. There is so much a plane will tell you through your butt and your hands that can never be replicated by a simulator. This is a key reason that ACM is never taught to fighter pilots in the simulator. One exception being out of control flight where the simulator is used to train muscle memory responses to OCF. Also as a standing rule, fighter aircraft will never intentionally be flown in OCF, except during the test and evaluation period by test pilots.

The biggest factor I have seen in this game to flying well is knowing what your plane can and can't do, and what the plane you are flying against can and can't do. Know when to stay in a fight, know when to bug, and know when to call for help:)

Anyways, my $.02

on the stats page...

click player stats arrow and a drop down menu will appear with various options... a 2nd column with drop down menu will appear to the right when you pick one of the "vs" options on the left ...

then on the left drop dpwn select the 2nd part of the vs...

to find your score vs a squad... type in the squad vs and add the squad CO's name.

It pains me to echo these sentiments.
