It only matters if you like hiding CV's...lol.

lol Its all so relative........

Some of my best pilots list are high ranked....ummmm Taki......Furball....etc I have fought against them and I always had a blast. Some others high ranked are rook and I never fought against them. I couldnt tell.

Some of my best pilots list arent high ranked....ummmm Greebo, Nelcan, Wingzero, DmnCoach...etc etc.

So I cant tell rank means nothing...at least...half of them are very good for me.

Another thing is that I have never understood the definition of "dweeb plane". I guess it has been said here lots of time by people. Its not about the plane...its about the man.

Some people are the best with 190s.....dweebs?

Some people are the best with spits...dweebs?

Some people are the best with P51......dweebs?

Some peolple are very good with spits, 190s, F6F..whatever.

Some people are very good at rtb with lots of kills, even from outnumbered situations....cherry pickers? gangbangers? vulquers?....is 1/3 of the population able to do that if they would try to? hehe

Some people fly an SPIT or a La7 and they fly at 5 k waiting to be attacked by 3 higher enemies all at once...this man kill them all....SPITDWEEB?? LOL

Some people talk more than they kill (lately me)

Some people kill more than they talk

Some guys are excellent at looking at STATS players and they can guess if the pilot sucks or not !!!!!!! or they way he fights!!! just looking at his stats LOL.


For me the bottom line is: quit of the arena all those "dweeb planes" and you will have the same "level of dweebery".

If I see a high ranked pilot in the arena..i give him a 90% he is a hot stick.

If I see a not high ranked pilot in the arena...i give him a 70 % he is a hot stick

I can tell when I'm up against certain players.  Wadke smells so bad it's blatantly obvious it is him, especially when he adds the P40 to the mix.  Damn that thing blows up nicely

This game has been and always will be about advantage.. and how you use it. When there is equal pilot skill involved the fight boils down to who has the advantage.. People complain about the boom & zoom planes (51,LA7,D9,typhoon) and they complain about the uber dweeb planes/turners (niki, spit) but the fact of the matter is if you don't fly these planes to there advantage you are a pretty easy kill most times.. skill being equal.

There is just a lot of complaining about the way the opposition flys and in some cases the pilot is just flying smart and using what advantages he has. A lot of people calls this being timid (being nice here) but patience is also part of SA.

Just no way to make everyone happy... So like what you fly,,, use it to its advantages and leave the complaining to the opposition you left smoking behind you.

Ive been ranked as nr2 at the end of the month one time .........for the competition

It doesnt mean that im better than those ranked much lower, but its more because i like all aspects of the game including bombing, gv's and all that. A guy that only runs around in a fighter can be 10 times better than me at dogfighting but the overall rank wont show that.

Completely agree -- and all those times somebody in a Spit whines about the "unaggressive" way I'm using my high wing loaded 190 make me want to stop and hold a seminar.

I guess I'm saying more people would stay in AH if they knew better how to use their mounts properly.

Guys, please don't let my reference to rank sidetrack this thread. I only used rank as a marker for my progress-- apparently a bad choice.

What it all boils down to in the end is this.

The first rule of Aces High.

"Don't tell someone else how to play HIS game, its his 15$ a month"

Its amazing how many people don't get this.

Its HIS money, if he wants to fly a spit its his RIGHT!


So called "Dweeb" planes are not planes that are necessarily that easy to fly. Its planes that are that HARD to kill.  Its FEAR talking, trying to label them, stick them in a box, make them fly something else that they THINK they can kill easier.

There is NOTHING  I fear worse than a spit 5k above me. Doesn't matter what I'm in, if he plays his altitude cards right I'm dead.


So everytime you hear someone say "dweeb" plane, laugh. Cause they are obviously afraid, and your not.

[Nilsen]

the only pilots in MA i "fear" are the once low and slow in crap planes that says over channel1 "please dont attack me, i suck and have no ammo and plenty of damage"

[xBarrelx]

"Don't tell someone else how to play HIS game, its his 15$ a month"


I try to say this everytime I see a whine. You just can't mount an argument against it

I agree. But I would call it the virtual man
(player & hardware & software & setup & connection, what else?)
It's all so relative...

Rank has 1 advantage for a luft pilot.

When you want to go see your stats and dont feel like typing your name and your in the top 100 then all you have to do is click on your name and >POOF< there are your stats:p

best thing i could come up with......................... ...........

I personally wish they would do away with rank.

This is why rank means nothing.   THIS GAME IS PURE LUCK!
