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
