I am going into my 7th year flying AH and until last year, I never heard of you. What other game IDs did you fly under during the past 6 years ?

I had never heard of Ink either, ran into him in the MA in furball island a few months back with him in his Hurri - not a bad stick at all.

Leviathn ... probably the one best stick you will ever run into and a great guy to boot ... he hates to lose, but never blames anyone but himself for a loss.

ya thats what i hear, this is also why i cant wait till he is back to his ol self so i can learn from the best.
you can only get better by flying against someone better, i guess that goes with every type of competition in life.

I'll second that, Snaphook flies the A-20 very very well and I have personally witnessed him kill a pleura of different aircraft flown by some decent sticks. I have fallen to his guns on many occasions which means nothing cause " I SUCK" but he does kill 80% of the guys he fights.


I keep hearing about how <name> is great in a A-20 and kills fighters but I've never seen it. A-20's are only slightly harder then a Goon to kill and only for the HO factor they go for and that compared to a Goon they take two rounds instead of one to destroy..

A-20 is a fun ride but it isn't a fighter.

There are a couple of players (snaphook and cobia38) that can make the A-20 dance pretty well in a fight and usually provide a nice fight as well.  I think most fall to them because they do under-estimate the ability of the A-20 to maneuver, it is deceptively agile for a plane its size.

Its a trend that changes but right now I would say the P-39.

FM-2, P-38, Yak-9U? I dont think so, they all have a good rep in the MA as dogfighters, the P-38 has a very large following, its hardly under rated.
