In understanding and prosecuting the game, I think my squad and I are far above average.

Ability to get a low rank?   Far, far better than most.  Top 25 in the game when I play.  And, to those who choose not to define good by rank, post a sub 10 ranking once, then tell us how easy it is.

I would but I get bored flying with the hord.
I know one  top 10 I can beat
and I suck
And thats all I need to know about top rankings

Oh, and by the way.....SkyRock<--owns the Hells Angels!

No, I meant without cheating on your second account.





J/K.     You are good, just ask you!   That's my point.    It's not easy.

I know I am now lot better than the "average" MA player, but each KotH I attend proves that I'm a mere target drone for the really good players ACM wise... still a long way to go.

I always learned everything on my own, I never was trained, very rarely DA'd and asked almost no questions. But I have now reached a plateau. I see the summit far away in the clouds, I know I won't get there without some serious coaching. Maybe it's time to call a trainer...

Good enough to have fun...and not care about how good I am. I leave that to folks that get their ego massage in game.

I consider my self "good".  But I know I could be much better.  The only reason i'm 1/2 way decent is KOTH.  I've learned most my "tricks" watching some of the incredible stick that fly King of the Hill.  I recall once watching ManeTMP fighting in a KOTH.  They were under constant attack, but usually not more than 1 or 2 at a time.  But they kept comin' at 'em like a martial arts flick.  In about 2min time ManeTMP had killed at least 8 con's.  It was awe inspiring.

I wish I spent more time in the DA than I do.  I personally feel I still have lot's to learn.

Tour 50
Rank 4

Tour 57
Rank 5

Tour 58
Rank 6

Tour 48
Rank 7

It wasn't easy (actually, it really was) as much as it was BORING.  I never flew to not die, but I DID have to run lots of troops, and pork strat's to get my score down.  

Difficult?  No.  
Boring?  Very!

I figured I'd get my prettythang kicked a lot when I started to play in summer 2004. I just kept at it until I found my nitch, which unfortuntately is not fighters. I will mix it up on occasion in my Yak.

Sometimes this helps.

I'm the second worst pilot in AH.  Which is good, because when I started playing I figured I would be the worst.  Fortunately I've found a good substitute......I call it fun.  I won't tell you who the worst pilot in here is, but maybe they will come forward.

So if you ever get shot down by me, just remember, you died to the 2nd worse stick in the game.....not good.

I suck at this game.   I've been told so by others.   It MUST be true!:aok

[sonic23]

Old age creeps in slowly, reflexes that always were slow, get slower. Eyesight that was still pretty sharp 10 years ago has dimmed slightly.

In short, I hit my peak probably about 1 year after Aces High Started.

Nowdays on a good week I get to land a 3 kill sortie, and thats ok.

Most of the time I prefer to spend in the TA teaching to flying in the main.

However fri night Squad ops still manages sometimes to bring out the best in me.  

In some respects I'm way better than I ever thought I'd be.
In others I never did get as far up as I would have liked.
But then family, real life and health issues will do that to you.

Call me happy with where I am as long as I can land a good sortie once or twice a tour.
