After last night, I'd like to change my answer to "Any plane - flown by any player who gives a hoot about score - during the first few days of a new tour."

Super fun.

at least then they're willing to fihgt.


the end of last tour, i came upon a 109 coalt, we merged, i made my move, expecting to see him maneuvering for the kill.
 nope. he was 1.5 from me and in a shallow dive. i couldn't catch him.

 few minutes later, i get an fw....2 bnz passes, and he goes away. the whold dam night, they all fought as if someone was gonna kill em for real if they lost their cartoon airplanes.  :rolleyes:

One can "WORK" to play the game or just "play the game".

The scoring system means nothing since folks who don't really test themselves can be ranked as high or higher than folks who test themselves daily. Someone sitting on a perch in a LW ride at the edge of a fight and getting kills may think they are really good, but are they? No one, not even that person actually knows for sure as they are rarely if ever tested.

:rofl I have no issue with what you choose to fly, fly what you want  :aok
  Hmm, must have struck a chord there!! ;)

If you have no issues with what people fly, then why this comment?

The most "UBER DWEEBY" are those that are flown exclusively   :x
If you fly a plane exclusively for years knowing every little detail, then you truely are a "bottom feeder" of the 1st order :aok   :x

I agree 110% Cap, that's my beef with the 262 and Tempy dweebs. I mean, c'mon. BnZ picking off people from the edge of a furball when they're engaged with multiple cons. How pitifully dweeby. If they're getting down'n'dirty and mixing it up with the cons that's altogether different, but you rarely see that.

I die a lot more than a "fraidy-cat BnZer," but there's nothing better/more fun/challenging than furballing. Makes it that much more rewarding when you can land the kills, you know you earned them.

Well I believe the op intended "less dweeby" as in harder to fly by some margin.  Therefore IF one should fly a plane exclusively ehem, it seems to me that that some-one is flying more dweeby and having an EASIER time at it then say some-one who bounces from plane to plane! :aok
 In fact in my own experience just in gunnery alone there is a huge difference in my accuracy when changing rides often. Now take into account the very real differences in flight abilities of different rides. IF you spend all your time in 1 ride then your timing, aim, feel and general ability in said ride is greatly improved over those who "change it up" a bit. So if you fly 1 ride only then IMO you fly "MORE DWEEBY" Hence it is EASIER for you than for those who do not!! :aok

By that standard then, if you fly all the planes all the time.... now your a dweeb in whatever you fly.

The real dweeb is the guy who changes planes immediately after getting shot down, out of what he got killed in and into something that he thinks he would have had a better chance in during the previous fight....only to be killed by someone else in a different type of fight...and he then changes planes again...

I realise least talent to get kills goes to probably in this order:

1) LA7
2) Nikki
3) Spit 16

And really any Uber turn plane like Zero or Brewster if you can get some newb to try and turn with you in anything else.

Least Dweeb though Spit 14 I reckon cos we all know its not at all easy to fly but still got a 1.9 Kill to death in tour 115. So whoever was flying generally had some skill and or talent is my logic. ;)

Let me know when you really wish to find out what a "Non-HO, pick, etc" La7 is capable of.   The La7 is not easy to fly, when the majority of players haven't a clue of it's intricacies.

Yes, we are all dweebs. The closest thing to a dweeb plane are the dweebfires but this moniker traces back to hallowed antiquity of flight sims when less plane choices were available.
It doesn't matter what plane one flies.  Simply by flying a cartoon plane, one is a dweeb.  Do not disregard our storied past; remember the Book of Dweeb.

So you don't like people who can fly more than 1 plane?  -1  :confused:
