someone who can kill 15 enemy per death shows skill if it isnt a picker plane

Well the person you mentioned gets more kills in a Tempest per tour than any other plane.

Anyway, since this thread has taken a nose dive into the skill vs. score argument...  (insert dead horse emote)

I always like to see a good merge, as it means things are about to get interesting.   I can't say I pick out individual players based on merges, but certainly a few turns into the fight there are some very recognizable ones.  I also find the "deceivers" to be enjoyable -- the vets who will fire a few rounds at 1.5 or come screaming in at what you think is full compression, only to pop into a good immelman / split S combo.  Makes you think twice about the most seemingly mundane engagement.   :rock

Thats me in a 39 popping off pot shots at 1.5 to 1k and flying down at 550 mph moving very little as though I am compressed then zooming and using real acm if I failed the pick or bnz.

Well, I was referring to those who do it intentionally, not as a missed bnz.  Also, usually its the 109s, 38's, and A6M's I will be most willing to believe are compressed.   :aok

surprisingly the a6ms dont compress truly like the 109 and 38s do... ive dove in in a6ms at 450mph stressing the plane but being able to pull out with out crazy trimming. 500 and above well then you got a problem! :lol

Sorry dude but you're wrong. Score isn't much of a reflection on skill, not much at all.

And how is this different then Grizz getting most of his kills in a 262? Yet everyone hails Grizz as the AcesHigh hero with humpers on every limb, while Pacerr is thought of as a POS. This is a double standard guys. I guess popularity should have a catagory in the rank too.
