Thanks for the kind words from some.
I don't really want to get involved in this, but i would like to say - i dont recall anyone from the Blue Knights saying that we are the best in fighters. We do have some very good individual players, but it is very rare that we fly as a squad. More often than not we are spread over at least two countries trying to shoot one another down. Saying that, i can recall sorties winging with a squaddie where we have racked up kills of 30+ between us, i am confident that a large number of the BK's have sufficent talent that any two of them could go out and do that - there are very few squadrons in game who have players that achieve it.
It is really other people's perception of our group that has made people think, that we think, that we are the best. When we recruit, it is not on skill level, that is another mistake that some people make. It is mostly on their personality and attitude towards the game, and a small part is down to whether they have pissed old man Lazs off or not.
It is not special if you shoot someone who you percieve to be very good down, its a game where people die hundreds of times a month, especially if you are the type of player to get in close and fight someone to gain your kills instead of killing from afar (picking). likelihood is that you will indeed shoot someone down if you put the hours in and go to where the big fights are. The fact is that nearly every person in our squad does not care about getting shot down, just goes hand in hand with the style of fighting.
It all comes down to having fun. One group's idea of having fun is to fight other cartoon planes in the air. The other group's idea of fun is to bomb cartoon buildings to win the strategy war, it is inevitable that clashes will occur because of that, there is nothing that can be done to avoid it.
