I dont know about anyone else but I keep a sort of mental notebook of the better pilots I come across.
That way when I hear a particular pilot is in my area I know what to look for and eventually what to look out for.

Each seems to have their own particular style and signature in the way they fly

The Two best I've come across in the last year or so
Is Stang and Erubus (not sure on the spelling)

Erubus for some reason I can only kill consistantly when Im in a 110

Dangerous pilot, particularly right after the merge. One of those pilots who can while comming from the opposite direction, pull a U turn on you on a dime and catch you from behind. Very good sence of timing

Stang Flies a style I find more frustrating then anything. Similar to Shane but with vast improvements. Both like to force the overshoot.
Stang just does it in more ways and is much better at it. Very good at positioning sideslip . Roll and yaw.

Stang is killable. I say his style is frustrating because its hard to ge a good bead on him  when he is most vulnerable without colliding with him.
And that vulnerability is there but for a moment.
To kill Stang. Timing is everything

Other then those two off the top of my head I cant even think of a close second Though I am sure they are out there

and thats not to say there arent other very good pilots out there. Indeed there are.
Of course everything is subject to each personal style.
Because of everyones particular style Some people are better suited to fight certain pilots then others.
Much like some boxers are better suited against a particular style then another

Some fly much better as part of a team then as individuals. The JBs immediately come to mind. 42 is probably their best individual pilot.
 But together even against even odds they fly very very well together

Some are very good at slashing hit & run tactics.

but for pure balls to balls knife fighting.
those are the two best I can think of I've come up against
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

True mand, he was a squady of mine and he really grated on my nerves as well!

And all this talking is pointless, I am clearly the best. Skuzzy, go ahead and lock it, no need to debate it further.

heh, trying to quantify skill in this game is very difficult.  i have no idea who is the best, or who might be the worst.  what i do remember from fights are the guys who make great moves, great shots, etc.  there are some very dangerous sticks out there....if you make a mistake against them, you will die, but hopefully learn something in the process.

imho there are some great sticks on that list.  however there are some guys on that list that are aweful.  one of them on the list, that i had an "interesting" encounter with was vulching a field.  a few planes got up, including my 190.  I chased his typhoon all the way back to his base, where he proceeded to drag me through is ack.  so i killed all the ack, dodging his lame attempts to attack.  (yes he had plenty of ammo, was not rtbing because of that or fuel).  so, if i believe his numbers, i would have to believe that he is a really good stick, but in reality he is not good at all.

i know the exact opposite is true for some other guys on the list, from personal experience.  i think even among these guys it can be difficult to tell who is the best.  one fight, player A wins.  the next fight player B wins.  and then of course factor in planes, maybe player A beats player B 10 times with a spit, but player B beats player A 10 times in F4U's.

ouch, think i just broke my brain............nope it was like that before:eek:

in conclusion it is clear that the best pilot is anyone who lets me shoot them down:) vast

Stang is average, at best. Anyone can fly around in a jet and cherrypick.

I don't know about pilot, but based on watching film of you from scenarios, Furball, you're the best damn shot I've ever seen.

Wait a minute!  I'm the worst pilot in here.  There will be no argument!  You've seen my 38.  Not an original piece of equipment on it.  All been replaced....over....and over...and over........you get the idea :)
