I think its sissified is why I dont.

U have to be a runny bunny to do it.


Really? You do? Have you checked Shane's score last camp? He landed 19 sorties of 231 sorties flown and was ranked 45th in fighter! I highly doubt he ever ran.

Sounds like you're just making up lame excuses to explain away your ineptitude to me!

After wading through this thread, one overriding thought keeps coming back to me. Something about "....Christmas turkey....".

Never, ever in my entire life, not even in the training arena or offline. I never will either. I picked the most dweeby plane in the set to hate, but to hate it from a position of moral superiority I had to swear a life-long blood oath of self-imposed prohibition.

My dear friend Ack-Ack ... I guess that my post didn't portray the amount of "tounge-in-cheek" that I had intended.

I know all to well the abilities of Levi ... both fighting with and against ...  ;)

I feel your pain Slappy, typed text just doesn't convey 'sarcasm' well.  We need to invent a "Sarcastic" emoticon! We'll be rich! It would revolutionize online communication!

Again, these stats do not reflect the skills of a player.  I fly aggressive, my intent is on the kill, not to 'simulate' the day in the life of a fighter pilot.  I don't play for rank or 'stats', I play for the kill and killing is what I'm good at.  If you really think you can take me or pretty much anyone else in this thread 1v1, time to back up your claims.  After all if the Rookies are such masters of the air, you should have no troubles with us little folk.

This is especially significant since you rarely land kills which should be saving you considerable time. This just goes to show how much time you spend alting and fleeing.


See, that just shows how poorly those stats represent what you want them to.  AKAK flies the majority of his time between 1-5AM EST.  It would be expected that his k/t and k/s would be lower than average since he flies off peak times.  In my experience during those times those that are on usually stick together, so you either end up spending alot of time trying to find a secluded fight or go to the hot area, and be put in the position of being picked.

For that matter, in my half joking first post to this thread I neglected to mention that my k/d rook/bish were fairly close until the last week and a half of the tour when a rook ganging, or a continous convoy of 22K+ rooks were more prevailent.  The last week of the tour alone my P38 k/d dropped from about 5.25 to around 4.5 just due to the number of rooks.

I have, not taking anything from the guys you've mentioned. But I'd put my money on WILBUZ anyday.

I had the privilege of flyin WITH and mostly against Wilbuz, and that boy can make a 109/190 dance like no others business. In the DA it's a whole new ballgame though.

There are others that deserve mention who could give anyone real trouble flyin, Lazer comes too mind, and a hole host of others but I'll spare you the names.

Ack-Ack you gotta stop calling people timid flyers. One day it could be an exercise in SA, meaning being careful and trying to survive, another time its all hell breaks loose and your trigger happy. But in general its always a practice of both :aok
