Back in the days of Airwarrior DOS, the people who taught me the ropes were :
Redcoat
Redbeard
Rocketman
DocDoom
Badger
Prophet
In more recent times (AH), I've learned a huge amount by dogfighting these guys, mainly in the DA/AvA:
Badboy
MtnMan
Dedalos
FX1
Ack-Ack
bipolar
SHawk
Murdr
Skyrock
Widewing
Fencer (the original, the swede)
Oldman
Lazer
BushLT
A couple of 1 on 1 hours in the DA with any of the above = at least a year of experience in the MA.
The most enlightening session I ever had was 14 straight duels with Badboy about 3 years ago - he killed me 13 times straight, and I won a sole fight (the very last one). I walked away a much better pilot
BTW, my old handles are shamroc, shamrock, sham, punchy in AH and --is, is---, --is-- in old warbirds/AW.
