Nice list, Subway.  I would like to add 1...
The Patriot.  This is a sub category of warmonger.  This guy is overly proud of never having flown for any other country, and equally proud to broadcast it over and over so that all can bask in his pure light.  He usually can also be heard berating the other countries for their cheating gamer tactics(which of course every country does).

I like the character classes but I couldn't help but notice that Paladin, Wizard and Necromancer were absent  :rofl
Possibly add a 10th class to round it to a nice pretty number:
The "Geezer" class.  You might fit into this class if you are a walking (well, maybe sitting) encyclopedia of WWII aviation/AH knowledge because you've played since before dinosaurs roamed the earth and Chuck Norris had hair.  Geezers relish in pointing out the historical inaccuracies of AH as well as the futility of debating their pontificating greatness. For these gents AH has become a more social (as opposed to an arcade) pastime which usually means they stick to one country and flirt with becoming Warmongers or worse. What he lacks in reflexes the Geezer makes up for with tactics or time-tested excuses such as that bladder problem or realizing Wheel of Fortune just came on...

Hehe, let me add the realism type: people who fly as if it's the real thing.  They happily land sorties with zero kills, fly with wingmen, and climb to 15k before any engagement.  They don't like field capture, furballers, or anything that frequently leads to death.  Their enemies include just about everyone except for the gv'ers, who they never see. :aok

That's most likely my category  :aok though I like furballers, they're always hanging out at 50ft MSL.  :devil I like field captures too because winning is more fun and I almost never fly with a wingie because having one would mean someone else shares the same distaste for dying while having the patience/restraint to just wait 3 seconds for cognitive functions before diving down to join the 8 friendlies chasing that unfortunate D3A and that's not something you're going to see very often!  :cry       (was that a run-on sentence I just saw?)

Despite the above "Realism" is the closest I've seen to yours truly

I believe I have my own category:  "Hey!  I needed that wing!"

I believe this is a sub category of the just having fun group

The Mahogany Spitfire Pilot

Subscribers that sit behind their desk and do not actually fly.  These people rarely venture into the game, when they do they tend to do little flying and constantly correct everything on channels 2 and 200.  Even though they do little flying, they criticise the flying styles of the other players and try to give advice on things they know little about. They take great pride in correcting historical inaccuracies in the game and the grammar of other subscribers.  Whilst not in game, these people spend most of their time on the BBS and can get quite animated during debates.

Think you have to add the "Old Vet" who has been around for years, and mostly enjoys BS'n with his buddys on squad vox, still likes to dogfight, sink a CV, Pork some ord and capture fields here an there. Doesnt really care if his side is gettin whooped on, or winning, but does make an effort to help out

Not sure where I fit in there - think the closest would be the sub category Corky describes *Hey, I needed that wing*...lol.....as I seem to be finding myself wingless one way or another. That said, I will go and start a fight and hope my squaddies/countrymen come over n help out  :D :D



Oh, and i'll pick, ho, gang, vulch, bomb, bail, run etc etc etc...........so ner...... :lol

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

I'll gladly fall under the realism type gavagai  :D. Only one thing though, my squadron specializes in Close Air Support so we frequently run into Gv's which we gladly send back to the tower shortly.  :devil
