After the event, look up the ranks of the people who've won at least one round.


Saturday King of the Hill will be at 9pm EST on January the 14th.
Friday King of the Hill will be at 3pm EST on January the 20th.

LOVE to see some of y'as there, and yeah, it's hard as heck to win 3 rounds.  No cake walk to win two.  Just winning ONE round is saying something.

Oh my, seven pages mainly of nonsense. If you check the scores/stats of the most vocal players you can understand what the MA is today.

P.S.: Zazen, if I'm not wrong, you've got a nice 247/22 k/d in this TOD with the Typh. What the hell are you posting about and replying to in this thread?

Why you all picking on Zazen...    He comes from the Old School..   JG27.....    Rook invasion veteran.. you go 250 + 250 vs 50 for 6-8 months then some of you clowns can start to talk about tactics..  All he's doing now is implementing those same tactics we put together so we wouldn't be completely smoked by the freaking bish tard horde.. (knits too but they were feeble)  Now you fellas created him by your unbalancing and now you say his tactics are cowardly in nature, Blasphemy..

Just because he fights unfair to you does not mean he's some coward..  Plenty of times I seen Zazen come and help people and put himself in perile only to be cleared by like minded pilots like myself and vice versa.  This is the old JG27 system later adopted into the Rook Defense System..   What Zazen did to stang sounds a whole hell of alot like high alt vulching we developed when the horde would overun a base and set up a vulch engine..  you bag the vulchers with high alt vulchers..  the try to rope or e fight, they get bagged going up...  its not rocket science..  is it craven...  yes...   is it Karate Kid sweep the leg....  yes...   muhahahahahahah

My type of Scum... (best Jaba voice.)

War is war fellas ...  Sun Tzu says fight on your terms not the enemy's..  

Zazen has just become very adept at that mostly from your own doing.. (Rook Invasion)

my point was it takes some skill to get where he holds the positions for multiple months.


Morph or Zazen already gave the score whoring tactics..  follow them and don't deviate and your should be in the top ten if your not a slob and can get the amount of sorites in..

I would add  Fly the LA7...  defensive barcap only for fighter rank..  emphasize bombers and other ToO's (110's   Jugs..   jabo etc..)

Jabo f4u4 the double 1000lbr with no rockets for jabo..  (do multiple rearms) (in and out with final rearm going for vulches after..)

Bombing...    B17's  above 17k at 3 in the morning eastern time..  (milk to your hearts content)

GV's / ground..   already well put....



These boards have already covered all this so I would do some searching before you put out this gibberish of skill and non skill again.........

You know what I find really works well when you want to tick off the score potatos?

Vulching squad mates or letting squad mates vulch you. Boy oh boy, does that tick them off.

LOL- Um just before they put eny into action the knights were rediculosly outnumbered every night.  I flew knights exclusivly then and now switch to side with lowest numbers all the time.  Just cause you are outnumnered doesn't mean climb like a wuss and cherry pick from the horde.

Also with such a lame view of how and what TnB is like I hardly think he has a clue about the style.  Anyone who can stay alive, down low TnB while surrounded, dodging 4 or 5 guys should have a better perspective then he has demonstrated in all his posts.

Great part about this game is no matter what happens in a fight, I've yet to find myself really dead.  And wouldn't ya know, I get a brand new, factory fresh plane every time I go up.

No matter how many times I end up in the furball down on the deck, I ALWAYS get a new plane.  Even if I survive to land, I still get a new plane!

Ya gotta love HTC for that.  Brand new plane EVERY TIME and I don't really die!

Might as well jump into the fight and have at it with that kinda deal going all the time :)

Well, I think that another great part of this game is the possibility to play in your own style as well.

Theres nothing silly in Furballing, Cherrypicking, Boom&Zooming, Turn&Burning, HighFlying, LowFlying, HOing, BuffHunting, FighterBombing, Stratobombing ... (add your style here) ... and every mix of them.

Whats silly for sure is picking on other players for their playing style and, above all, teaching/forcing others to play in your own way. Ahh yes, thats really stoopid :rofl

Go figure , like someone said already
Impressions form the MA can be way off base
Some players..cough..cough..shane. ..cough...are most efficient with the taunt and control aspect of the game
Some players...cough..cough..NwBie ...cough... are more efficient making you laff so hard at their lousy flying that you auger...

Use what workz

Looked to me like you held out the #1 rank as some kind of shining example of someone to fear in the DA, and you dislike being told you have no clue what you're talking about.  Some players base their flying style on staying out of trouble and not getting tied down.  As a concequence they do not get much practice in the skills required to fight (not run) their way out of trouble, or fight at close quarters for extended periods of time.  It so happens you rely on those skills in the DA.  I have no doubt many players of that vein *know* the skills needed for a duel, but *knowing* and executing with practiced fluid precision are two different things.  I think Ive been around that particular player long enough beyond AH to know if he fits this description or not.

Please feel free to vett my qualifications to have an opinion with the rankings...oh, and the koth bbs too.

DoctorYO-Read the fricken posts before you decide to inform us.

You guys keep taking half of what I write, take it out of context and use it as a weapon to prove I don't know what I'm talkin about, not to mention all the times I've had to defend things I've never even said LOL have fun.  READ WHAT IS WRITTEN NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.  Gosh Frickin Idiots!!!!!! (best napolean dynamite voice)

Reread the my last 8 posts and you'll get your answer DR. YO to your post.

I NEVER said I wanted to be #1, I NEVER said I was trying to be #1, I NEVER said the #1 guy is my hero, (this is the part where you read carefully) I said I have respect for someone who holds that position for several months.  Just like I have respect for someone who can land 10 kills in a yak.  A plain and simple wtg good job, that doesn't mean that persons the biggest baddest guy in DA OR MA just means I'm giving them a WTG, my self esteem isn't so low that I can't give someone a pat on the back for an accomplishment well done.

I fly bish, Shawk and his High alt/always got a wingman rook gang work me more times than I'd like to admit.  But rather than chewing them up as lamers, I respect that they can do it and rather take on the task as to how I can out smart them on the next engagement now that I know there tactics.

But some keep confusing the facts of the game, Its just that A GAME and it can be played in many formats.  Some boring score whoring ,or die hard I don't care if I die methods, others want to furball, others want to G.V..  It really doesn't matter, unless it conflicts with the way you want to play, and what you have come to a conclusion is the most honorable/righteous way of playing.  As soon as someone makes a opinion that may conflict with what your fantasy based ideals of your virtual ego, UH OH look out.

Most everyone kept trying to turn this whole thread into anything but what it was about.  Score whoring, name calling, I'm better cause I don't B&Z but you do, or my plane is more of a challenge to score kills in then yours.  My methods are honorable yours aren't thread, with a load of patting yourself, or your squadie patting you on the back.  I mean really.... it had been pointed out multiple times that Zazen's methods are cheesball and he this and he's that, well if you guys know his game so well then beat him at his own tactics.  Cause if you know his tactics so well and he still gets the best of ya, what does that say about your learning curve.

In the end the thread really had nothing to do with any of that.  What it is was about actually ironically played out between me and morpheus.  Guy with more experience and generally a better stick in planes, calls me out to DA because I disagree with him.  Classic ape man thoughts unga bunga you disagree with me I'm going to kill you in DA unga bunga.  Like that would change anything.

By the way Morph dueling in gv's impossible my ***, you just don't want to lose any face, which I don't blame ya cause you would get your *** handed to you.

Morpheus-Didn't you get caught doing exactly what you just described in your last post about 5-6 months ago?  Then claimed it was your brothers account or something hmmmm..........

A truly good stick could kick someones butt on any terms not just their own.  Until that day comes we can agree to disagree.

Murdr- in your link you suplied you are #1 congradulations.  Where is Shawk on that list...#7.  How many participated, if more than 10 I'd say he held his own there too, wouldn't you?

Well the point of that was that Ive flown around him a long time.  As a matter of fact, I pestered a Dora the other day till it crashed from damage because I was fairly sure it was him by the plane type and how it was being flown (and it was).  That was secondary though, what I was primarily saying is that his rank does not nessacerly say how he may do in the DA.

IIRC when I downloaded that whole list there were about 4400 on it.  That was a free for all arena much like the MA.  Flying smartly in a fast plane and staying out of trouble was just as effective there as here, but it still doesnt translate directly to performance 1 vs 1 in an even situation.   And you did start this out by trying to link the 2.

I think you misunderstand what I started this off on, or the way I came accross wasn't presented well.  Either way I shouldn't of used SHawk as my example but rather someone else.

What I was trying to point out was

ALL FLAMERS THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ONLY DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN, NO NEED TO ARGUE IT, IT'S AN ANALOGY.

When Rauml has it out with leviathn and he feels like he was ho'd (whether he was or wasn't doesn't matter).  Rauml doesn't chew on 200 at levi. saying lets go to DA & I'll own your butt, name the plane and the time blah blah blah.  Cause he knows he's a good stick.

But if he had the same experience with me he won't hesitate to go right to that, because he knows I'm somewhat of a newbie.  My point was that if your gonna be a bully when you know you got an advantage, is it really that lacking in couthe (not sure if spelled that right) to ask for something to even it up a little.  If they deny the offer of evening it out a bit/meet me halfway concept doesn't that further imply that they are being just that.

It's perfectly ok for morpheus to not want to go to DA and have me blow his turret off over & over & over.

But I'm weak sauce for not wanting to go to DA and get my plane shot down over & over & over......please.

Anyone who has trouble seeing through that fog I question, cause it seems pretty straight forward to me.

The topic of whether SHawk was worth a crap in the DA compared to Ma or (in some debates on this thread) in general.  Was IMO to me a completely different topic.
