Hey don't forget Shawks ever so impressive, hang wayyyyyy high in a Chog, wait for a slow guy trying to climb up to actually try and get a fight from him and then the ever so impressive pick and run back to alt. OVER and OVER and OVER again, untill he gets 5 or so kills and run home....
The only time i've actually encountered Shawk down low in a good old fight he was coming off of a CV attacking a shore gun. I went after him and after a turn or 2 he ended up making a newbish type mistake and pulled up directly into my guns.... After that it was a fairly average fight I died, he died...
Over all I would say Shawk is about an average pilot, he just knows how to work the system to make it look like he is better rank wise.
