Stats don't lie, it's the most popular ride.  It's not your fault that your beautiful baby's rep has been gheyed up by the unskilled masses flying them around like dweebs.  Slurp.

Take a look at Me163 statistics over the last few tours if you want to be bludgeoned by fact.

The FACTS are that the vast majority of people will not go after anyone with a 163 but not because its a hard plane to get kills with (thats your ego talking) but because the vast majority of people cannot compete with the guys that DO up 163s for the 1-3 bombers that might still be alive by the time they get there.

Thats changing I hope.

My question is:  What exactly is "respectable kill tallies"?

In my book it isnt landing 20+ kills and having a K/D of slightly better than 2.1 if you know what I mean.   :rofl

Thats interesting, you hit the left wing but the right wing came off.

Did you strike the right wing in an earlier frame that wasn't graphically represented?

I guess i will say something.

Everyone on AH has skills, some are really advance while most are average.  There is no argument about that.  The way i see it, if you can up in a AC get into a dogfight, regardless if you win or lose, you have skills.

The puff of smoke is the hitsprite from the broken wing trailing back and the tracers in shot just happen to be missing under the other wing, did not hit that wing at all I dont think.

Everyone knows that giving you nose-mounted Hispano's isn't much different than giving you a Sidewinder, you don't have to rub it itn...

I say 1v1...although a good furball gone wrong can never hurt either. 6v6 can turn into a 2v5 or a 1v4 really fast...thats when you need to either run like a wild banshee or use your "ace pilot skills" and pwn them suckers   :lol
