Like someone mentioned many years ago, before you were around, that the ones to fear most aren't the ones ranked in the Top 10.  Just sayin'.

Generally very true.  Although, I will say that Bruv119 is the glaring exception.

Maybe this post will help quell some of the rampant self promotion that The Few tends to exihibit regularly.    :angel:

Hmm... can you imagine how this would look?  30 or 40 planes upping, headed toward one another, the low ones reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies, the enemy pursues until they see the higher planes, then they reverse under their higher buddies...

Then everybody runs out of fuel and RTBs except the couple of guys from each side who took drop tanks, at which point they vulch the entire enemy force on landing...

Sounds like fun to me! :devil

It be the exact oposite of what we have now....dive right in and shoot at anything that moves untill you run outta ammo and and air speed, then whine about getting picked by some "timid" pilot.....then of course run to the bbs and try to regain some face by pointing fingers .... :rofl   :aok

I'm 90% sure Bruv is a wizard, with some of the stuff he does in that spit 8.

+1 karma for truth  :aok

You just described how 90% play...What never ceases to amaze me is how they can possibly be indignant about it when they inevitably get victimized by the 10% that don't fly that way.  :huh

I always preferred to look at kill/sortie over kill/death as kill/sortie better indicates how effective one is.

As for Zazen's comment about the "Shane effect"... all I have to do is point to him flying at 30k in AW, surrounded by a bunch of sychopants determined to protect him at all costs, as he used them for bait and meatshields.In AH Zaz isn't not much different despite his claim of "living for the fight."  "Fight" apparently means only when he has advantage, otherwise he just runs screaming for his newest batch of sheeple to save him. He's all about his k/d, it's that simple... and sad. But hey, it's his dime, right? I've used my dimes over the years to explore and enjoy *all* aspects of this game.  :banana:

I don't mind 2 or 3 vs me, but when I'm already engaged with those 2 or 3 and then several more jump in (especially when they find out it's me - does anyone hunt zazen?) that's where you'll see me call poepl on it.  :aok

I think he's miffed that despite his walls of text and "leet" score, he doesn't get the recognition he craves in AH that he obtained in AW.  Talk about ego.   :noid   
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

If one could factor in Kills per sortie SURVIVED, then I'd be good with Kills per SORTIE showing some valuable quality of skill .......but just bunching up into a harry furball and trying to kill as many dolts as possible before some dolt inevitably kills me is equivalent to falling into a bottomless pit.

Bleh~!

I believe it was zazen who use to fly "40K" in AW. We went 3 on 3 Bz vs Az in AW and Zazen was one of them. In seconds We wiped out Zazen, LPN, and I forget the third. It seems that one of our guys, not me, got the 6 of one of their pilots and it was all over. Zazen does know the tricks for sure. He has to fly his wife's account to take any risk whatsoever. Most Muppets I see are on the deck fighting 3 or 4 guys at a time. Always improving their skills and testing their ability. P.S. I'm not sure if Zazen is still a muppet.

I am too old to remember that far back. But, the mere fact that you vividly and in specific detail remember killing me once over a decade ago speaks volumes... ;)

PS. I'm still a Muppet
