Junky is either currently stuffed in some crate in the back of a military air transport, or recovering from jet lag at the nearest watering hole to the exit ramp.
It is alittle wierd to land 2 hours before you took off on the same day..... :headscratch: :D

Lot of great sticks on the list.  Ill leave it  to others who they think is the best. I suck so bad the list would be huge. I can give an ok fight. But the ones that can own me. <S> you know who you are.

I find it interesting of how much skill they do have to be in the top 1%. but the difference between the top 1% and the top 5% can still be night and day.

I desagree.  I think the differences at top are very small. They could mean that player a beats player b 100% of the time but all it would take to equilize them is a small adjustment and the rolles will be reversed. Of corse player A will adjust eventually reversing the roles again. This process goes on constantly and that us why you cant have one best. Depends on the day. That is for top 10%. Below that theres chaos lol

Told someone I was training just yesterday that the diff. between the top 10 and the top 100 is energy management.  The top 10 can squeeze that LITTLE EXTRA out of their rides and gain angle/advantage.

I agree to an extent but I would argue the better of the two will be able to make effective adjustments between fights quicker and win more fights in a large sample sized set.

Id have to disagree about the difference being energy. IMO the piloting ability of the top 10% is about the same, the aim though is where the difference is made, I know alot of the good sticks "give a shot, to take a shot" and they win the fight because they make the shot.

not saying Im right just my opinion :salute

you are more right then you relize,  "The better "shot" will almost always win against the better "stick",   wish I could remember who said that, it was an WW2 ace,  I also have seen it first hand in AH.

I should have also added the ability to "scrub" a shot, or make it more difficult to read where you going to be when you do come towards your opponents guns :salute

Hey Ded we are in violent agreement. on the top sticks

If you take the top 6% and they can beat the other 94% most of the time. If you then take the top 1% they can beat the next 5% most of the time.  IM not so sure it is the top 10% of sticks. If there are just 6000 sticks in the game the top 1% would be just about 60 names. Of the top 60 we are in agreement. I just don't think that there are 60 names on the list.

Just my 2cents worth.

fun fights by the way the other night, Still can't get past 4 merges with you most of the time, but i will keep trying.

If I could shoot I would be one dangerous mofo. Unfortunately poor gunnery and ACM are my strong points :D
