I'm sure there are respectable H2H players out there. I've flown against a few. Good, but not impressive in the sense of what I know to be the best. I've fought the best.
I suspect that the problem may lie within the concept of a dwelling in a limited universe. You may have encountered the meanest fish in your particular pond, but there's an ocean out there you've not swam in before...

Hi Widewing!
My sincere respects and regards to you. I have every reason to believe what you've said and agree. I fly in the Big Sky Arenas and thus have an enormous level of respect... enormous.
I just think it would be a lot of fun... and who can resist rooting for the underdog?

And, who could resist ribbing the best of the best of the best should they, at the end of the day... come to swim in the little pond and loose by a fluke of luck or a tactical oversight or lack of team cooperation or mistakes rooted in over-confidence?
It's not all about dueling. The cooperative work of a well practiced and interleaved team is a thing of beauty.
I have found the team competition in the Little Sky Arena to be extremely enjoyable and fun. I have learned that the best stiks in H2H are MA pilots who enjoy it, and for just cause. I really can't explain it to someone who has not indulged in it. Were it not so enjoyable I would have branched out long before I did to fly in the mega-arenas.
I should have done it long ago. The first time I saw a flight of 30+ B-17s at high altitude below me on their way to distroy a target
literally gave me chills and the thoughts of attacking it made me realize what must have gone through the minds of the Bf109 pilots who flew against them. OMG!!!!!!!!!
I am in the MA to stay. But my enjoyment of the experiences flying with and against pilots I came to know and respect and enjoy in the Little Sky Arena will linger forever. I mean that with my whole heart... I have cried over the loss of them. I dispise the b**tards that ruined it.
I have always believed one can only become as good as their best competition; one can only get better by flying against and with the best of the best of the best.
To the Aces of the Big Sky...
