Do you not think Wilbuz falls under Godlike status with Levi and Drex?



Wilbuz is good or at least was, since he no longer plays but one time flying with Lev really stands out.  We're both on the deck with me just having finish taking off and Lev is about 5k away in a Spit V when he is bounced by 6 planes.  I tell him that I'm on the way, fully expecting him to have been picked by the time I get there and to my surprise when I do get there, Lev only left one bandit for me to kill as the other 5 were already dead.

Another time, I see Drex in a Ju88 engage 4 bandits and watched him work his magic as he flew that thing like a Spitfire and shot down all 4 bandits in a very short time, think the fight lasted just a couple of minutes.  

Watching those two at the top of their game was something definitely to see.

So, are you saying Wilbuz wasn't consistent? I'm not sure how it answers Kazaa's question.
He was pretty consistently outnumbered yet annoying the hell out of opposition every time I've seen him.

I can only recollect about 3 or 4 times I've come across Wilbuz in the 8+ years I've been playing.   Airmess is another "european" who was consistent.  Since "some are feeling slighted" in a fit of overreaction.

Ahem, Stang told me I am the only Greek God he knows.



Although, it was dark and he was drunk, so may be he was just kidding?

Does anyone have .ahf footage of Levi and Drex in action? If so please post it as I would love to see what these two could do.

exactly what i said before. There isnt a best. you can be beat on any give day by anyone. You have great sticks, good, ok and learning. but no one is the best.

There is always a 'best' but I don't think you can objectively figure out who that is unless the top pilots duel a ton and record the results.  If you're beating a pilot in excess of 60-70% of the time over the span of a couple dozen duels, you are statistically likely to be better.  If however, you are winning or losing in the 45-55% range over a couple dozen duels, it's too close to call and would take a plethora of more duels to determine who is actually 'better'.  Last time I dueled Kazaa, the only plane he was better in was the Spit16.  Everything else imo was too close to call, not enough data points to conclude anything other than it was very close.

I can say that I have overlooked Texture until he was mentioned in this post. I forgot how good he was in a fight. I've always admired Batfink and Dedalos to be always good all the time.
I think the thought goes that A can beat B on diffrent times, but when A can beat B all the time, and even on the bad days, that's when you know they are good. Batfink and Dedalos are good examples of that. I can only just barely beat them at any given time, no matter what they doing. I have not honestly fought Grizz in the DA in quite a long time (hint hint) so I really don't know how much he has progressed in the past couple of months. I can say when I have fought him, one of us are at the disadvatage with the planes, and one or the other wins.

As far as WMLute goes, and I am sure that I have heard him say this a couple of times, that he is the best when it comes to the SA. He has taught many people when it comes to SA, and that is where he beats most everyone there. Have I beat him a couple of times? Yes, has he beat me a couple of times? Yes.

I still seemed to be overlooked here, I've been able to beat quite a couple of people there, and multipule times to boot. I have quite a few KOTH wins under my belt, only time I don't win now is because I am not there to finish the whole thing, and even then I still come out with a win or a be a wabbit. Everytime I'm there at KOTH to finish it I win. Anytime someone wants me to prove it, I would be glad to.


<S>


definitely not up there bro sorry, I fought ya a bunch of times and from what I recall it was not at all difficult to send ya to tower,as a matter of fact I think we very recently fought in the Mains, and I sent ya to the tower in all of two turns, both times.(I think you had numbers also) no disrespect meant, so don't take it that way, but there are guys that are truly "great" and you just don't make the list.  YET keep at it maybe you will achieve that.

Unfortunately, unless you have an early version of the AH1 film .exe, the films I have aren't viewable.
