Who is the best?
« Reply #120 on: May 25, 2006, 01:03:29 AM »
What puzzles me is that Storch is never mentioned on any of these lists.  

He may be, quite honestly, the best natural pilot I've ever seen in the game.  I make no exceptions... he is probably the best.

In fact, I don't think the word natural even begins to describe his talent.  He is unnatural.  Perhaps supernatural.  I don't think there is a pilot in this game he couldn't easily kill in a 5v1.  

And what I like the most about him is there is no false modesty (well, not to much anyway).  He knows exactly how great he is, and he isn't afraid to tell everyone.

True. Two pairs of our C205 engaged him and his wingie in their La-7. Obvious result: two La's shot down. And a lot of "castrati" on channel 200. Boy, shot down aces cry like a lot indeed   :)

I'd have to say as far a s "The Best" goes, there isn't one. Some guys are supernatural in one ride and average in others, some are above average in all but still not the best in any... I dunno, sounds weird, but thats how I feel. Plus you throw in the occasional run of good/bad luck, and it can totally screw anyone up.

Having said that, some I cringe to fight against...

Yucca in a P-47
Killnu in a P-38
Jaekart in a Hurricane (either one)
most of the 4thFG guys in a Pony
Doom in a 190 (easy to outthink sometimes, but he'll usually make you work for it)
N7 in any LW fighter
Pooface in a Spit (not unbeatable, but again will make you work for it)
Storch in a 110

But I have to say I still haven't seen anyone who scares me as much as some of the guys I used to fly WB with- I remember when DADDY ran up about 500 consecutive kills in a P-51D, Dracer taking out about a half dozen A6M3s in a P-40B, Dawger taking on our whole squad (8 of us in 109G6s) in a P-38J and killing or crippling every one of us and still making it home, SiloFT dogfighting Corsairs with a Val and winning...

Ah, memories... :cool:
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Anyone have that film of Wetrat and Nath in the 109s? Those two (plus Stang) fly that nazi peice of crap with uncanny skill, I really don't know how they do it.

I'd also agree that the BK's pwn as a whole, but they keep some mediocre pile-its (me) around as tokens, either that or for bait...hmmmmm.

I like Coach in typhie and Doom is the bomb in 190s. Kill is still great in 38 even though it is hampered. Overall not to be conceided or anything but I am teh best. Oh yeah and freakin Trikky is a hard catch in just about anything :aok
When I die bury me in a P38.

I watch day after day, week after week, tour after tour, the Bishops and Rooks take bases and win maps while the Knights stand there with their thumbs stuck in their butts. It's just pathetic!

The King was and is Drex. Then Levi.
These two are in their own class.
Forget about kill them.

Then the other very good sticks.
If you catch them in a big furball making a wrong maybe if you are
enough lucky you could think that you can try kill them.

Then the average pilots.

And then the cannon fodders.

Actually, I saw it first hand. It was 3-4 months ago, maybe less, and I was flying on your side. He pwnd you in an La7 when you started 3-4k higher. You ranted on 200 for 20 min about it. I think he got you a couple times more that night, I thought it was rather amusing.

My order in today’s Main not 3 years ago

Levi
Blukitty
Stang

Those are the only people I have problems with. 1v1 I have no problem going toe to toe and will not run. When you get to that level it’s a give and take sometimes you win and lose. I have no problem getting shot down by them.

Elevenk is a really good stick btw he did win koth last month.

I have had no problems with doom and he is not in my book top 5 (easy)

Yucca is a good 47 driver but I have never had a problem with him.

Shane in main is a loud mouth and I have never thought he was a good main pilot. Never da him but from what I have been told he is good.

Furball is a great stick and I respect him

Wetrat is another great stick and we have had some great fights

Good old skyrock da him last week and that’s the last time I will can’t take his mouth if he gets shot down. Last year we did have good time in the da but his wife must not be giving it up anymore our something.

Bullz great stick and I always have a good fight with him.

Kermit is one of my best kills if he is in the area I make a bee line for him. Not only do I respect him but it’s a joy to win our lose a fight.

I am sure their are some Rook pilots that would make the list but I have always been rook so I have never really come into contact in main.

I will never be the best, really don’t have that drive. I don’t gv our bomb what I do is kill and have fun. 200 is getting bad with out burst that I feel makes me wish I didn’t kill that person. I think people need to slow down and make sure that they understand everyone has a bad day and making a fool of them self on 200 is not going to help.

BTW some of the names being dropped are so old I have no clue when they were in AH becuase i know they dont play todays main.

LMAO!   I called you a lucky dweeb because I got interupted by children ack and could no longer continue to pwn you.  By the way the "lucky dweeb" comment  was meant in a funny way not an insulting way.  Don't be too touchy.  FX1 you are a decent stick and I'm not trying to burst your bubble brother but when you say you have no problem fighting YUCCA I just find it hard to believe.  YUCCA would totally own you hands down.  I could list about 15 not on that list that would totally hand your arse to ya in a 1 vs 1.  Although confidence is a good thing to have, so is a realistic look at what you don't have.  I doubt that you have DA'd enough of the good sticks to find out how much work you actually need.  DA Creton, airvent, YUCCA, WldThing, Murdr, sniper,Twinboom, WMLute, KillnU, etc.(too many to list)  they all are good sticks and have more than just one good move up their sleeve.  I really didn't know how overly arrogant about your dueling prowess you were until this post.

See what i am talking about. Didnt say that i am better than any of them did I. Unlike some people i am human and do make mistakes in my flynn. My top 3 are the best in the game period in todays main. LOL your kidding about me getting my ash handed to me with those guys. Good fights yes i will lose but having a major problem with them NO.. Whats a major problem in my world? Having guys doing moves that are perfect for the time and place. If your in front of their gun sights you die. And over all ACM along with being a good sport unlike some guys.
