(G2 is hard for me to actually FIGHT in jug...is turny thing)

you and I are equally matched skillwise.  would you like to meet up in the DA for some 109vP47 fights?

Yuppers! Rarely get actual 1:1 fights with jugs (lol sounds like 70's porn flick:rofl )

Wrong. Climb rate is good because of it's powerful engine and comparatively low weight. Even the slow F-4 and G-2 / G-6 outclimb most other fighters in the plane set.

Hmm good enigne, less weight doesnt that = more speed? Inst that why heavy under powered planes go slow? Now I dont think the 109F,G2, and G6 can out climb most but if you think so, ok.

haha, I guess you have never dualed a good k4 stick.  I have dualed creton in it and he was pretty amazing with that thing.

There arent many "good K4 sticks" that I know of on bish or nit. Iv been in a few K4 duels but like most people that fly them all they did was try to HO. I dont know why people think a single pop gun plane is good to HO in. I wouldnt say Im a great K4 stick but I know what Im doing and can hold my own. I said "only time you should turn in it is if they can out run you" is because in the MAs once you get slow in something that cant turn like some of the uberplanes your preatty much saying PICK ME PICK ME!



Some may think its ENY is to high and some even think it needs to be perked, but its ENY is set at 20 for a reason. That reason is its not an uber plane. It may be great in the hands of someone that can fly it, but so is 1Duke1s P40.

Check the numbers. http://gonzoville.com/ahcharts/index.php

For example, a 109F has about the same climbrate as the monster F4U-4, which has about 800HP more and is 50mph faster. Only four or five planes climb faster  than a G-2, most notably Spit 8 & 16

And engine power & weight doesn't necessarily translate into more speed. It's all about aerodynamics.

This is overall rank and fighter rank.  Can you tell who would hand you your arse in a plate in a 1 vs 1 and who always gets you when you fight someone else?  I guess scores are good for something after all lol

Of this list ... there is only 10 guys that I would consider a "handfull".

[68ROX]

I haven't seen a "perk farmer" since I started flying the Fw190A8....

Boatloads of cannon and a decent sized drop tank.

Picked up over 100 perkies in it in less than a week.  It's my favorite bird now.

I don't furball in it, but it will rip a bomber formation up in a heartbeat.

Disagree.  

Score and Rank perform the very useful function of providing a more populated and thereby a richer, more fulfilling game environment, because it attracts those who measure their success by such means.

Just because it doesn't provide information you think it should - i.e. a tool for evaluating relative skill levels - doesn't mean it doesn't fulfill some purpose.  In fact, it probably does a pretty admirable job of fulfilling it's intended purpose.

k4 is uber FTW.

Yup ... milk-running and vulching second accounts to achieve "elite" status was it's intended purpose.

2-SHawk
3-BiPoLaR2
4-pacerr
5-Lusche
6-Dextur
7-AXER
8-shreck
9-Zip5389
10-AKDogg


I see ONLY 1 person on this list capable of puting a good fight..and thats AKdogg.... and He's 10th. I cant see any of the rest winning a 1v1 fight with lets say Skyrock, Stang, Dedalos, Dolfo, Wetrat, lev, bighorn, Fester, FX1 or any other good stick.

Face it RankTardlings will be just that... Its all they have to make themselves feel all nice and fuzzy inside to know they have a nice high shiney rank...

hahahahh... that slayr1 guy was asking me how to game fighter rank since I was #1 at the time. I told him he's better off asking someone that sucks, like Dextur or something Dogg is the only guy in there that can pose any kind of challenge (I think shreck may be the worst there), but he's not that great either.

Disagree w/ ya' on AKDogg.  

He can fight.

SlapShot I only counted 7 I would consider a "tough" fight.

[Nilsen]

Nother thing that rank will never tank into account is how much equipment you have. I fly with stick (and n50 for views) only and seldom find myslef using rudder. Some have throttle control, rudder pedals and whatnot.

Some even fly with mouse and can be fairly good using only that.

My point was to compare over all rank with fighter rank.  It seems that good over all with good fighter =  teh suck (guys you die to when you fight someone else)
