Great Fights

[Krusty]

im in the top 100 sometimes, and im not even real sure what a wet paper bag is 

You and I have had a few good fights, Irish. Your aim is about as bad as mine, too

I did a compression/save test a little while back. You might remember the fight:

I think it's a expression for "not being able to hold their own"

I feel honored that my thread got jacked

nice Kamakazi into my tank last night Rogent, feel honored you are willing to trash your lovely P51D into my tank!
Wait what was the thread about again? mmm cake

Still you will always be known for being in Manawar's Squad, and so you know - the top 50 doesn't mean squat, I can name at least 3 in top 10 alone in Fighter rank that couldn't fly out of a paper bag without help from a dozen squadies. I don't recall seeing you once in the DA in the past 3 weeks.

/Not saying I am any good, probably 1/25 in the DA in past week alone

just means they have the best K/D.so is kinda does

The ki-84 or "frank" is an excellent plane with a slightly higher learning curve than most. I say that cause of it's compressibility and speed specifications for top performance. Its always about the pilot, never the plane but all things being equal the frank should be able to win a knife fight with a jug. Only because of it's raw climb ability at slower speeds and acceleration. Having said that, the jug is no slouch. It is faster, zooms better and retains e better but most importantly it stops faster. That with it's dive ability can give any plane and any pilot a hard time if worked properly. It's about getting the kill on the first or second gun pass, but that's the game isn't it?

I'm bored at work, just my two cents from my experience.

That's never the case.

You can no more separate the aircraft performance from the equation than you can the pilot skill. You should consider both multipliers of the effectiveness of the other. Anything else is a little arrogant (to presume it's all about skill when sometimes... it just isn't) IMO.

A very common misconception. That's why many players go for high K/D at all costs and wonder why their rank doesn't go up

I just had an incredible fight with Bluedeth this morning.....

SALUTE BLUEDETH....

Pony D vs P47......Started out as a  pseudo E fight then got down in the weeds.  

My only regrets are that someone came in and got him....and ..... film was NOT on....ratz!

[Lusche]

Butcher meant to say top ten overall, I see a couple names I haven't seen before up there

High overall rank mostly means you are an "allround player". Many are very good in their respective areas, but do not care for other aspects of the game. You may be the best dogfighter, but if you never fly boring bombers and do not care about GV's, your overall rank will always be lousy. (Not that it matters anyway )  Fly a single bomber sortie and see you rank # go up by 1000 or more.

[Lusche]

Butcher ... the obvious weak link in that list is that "Snailman" guy ... even if you wet that paper bag, he could fight his way out. Choose him for sure.

Actually I know that Snailguy is avoiding wet paper bags at all costs. He has no squaddies who could help him out, so being trapped in one would in fact be a death sentence to him

Very true I'm useless as a gv'er

i gotta get better with the sarcasm........i guess i lay it on too thin sometimes 


my dad has been using that expression since i was wee, i.e. "You little pussbag, you couldn't punch your way out of a wet paper sack!"

srry for the hijacked comments Rogent <S> bro

I'm a bit slow as well do that doesn't help

I did a compression/save test a little while back. You might remember the fight:

     depends on the day.   sometimes i don't miss, sometimes i never hit, but on average i maintain a 10-11% hit rate in fighters.   speaking of compression, i have a video from the TA of me in a 40k P47; i dove approx 30k at full throttle and WEP, and was able to pull out of it using the trim, without backing off the sauce.   109s will do this too, just dont pull those wings off
