Amsoil, MickyD, Bagrat, TomFool and Klingan are great and never steel your kills.

The danger with winging is being accused of ganging mind  :old:

For obvious reasons, maybe this thread should be aimed at wingmen outside of your squadron/group of friends that you fly with?

I like winging with Twinboom. While its more often than not that he is saving my butt, I just love watching him fly. He is good in just about anything and I always learn something new.

A good wingman, is one that pretty much knows how you are going to fight a target, without saying much beyond which plane you are looking at.  Knows your merge style and sets up accordingly to cover you or attack your bandit.  Also helps if you trained your wingman so you are thinking on the same priorities in a fight.  BigB was probably my first wingman that knew what I was thinking most of the time (scary thought :lol).  My new Wingman PuppetZ, is getting pretty good at figuring me out :aok

was wingin with Kappa the other day, I even commented to him how we make good wingies, its like we know where the other guy is gonna be, and on the good sorties everything works perfectly,

I think flying "style" has a part to play in it, similar flying styles will be make for better wingies. IMO

so Kappa would be top of the list but honestly all of the Muppets are great wingies, hell I remember one sortie me and Irish dominated like 15 guys :devil

Definately Dictonious, he flies with a name of Tikto in the game when he does, currently. He's always right behind me and reads my mind.

<S> Dicto!

Another one is PJK, we don't fly strictly as wingmen but usually end up in situations where we do our best bail each other out of and we understand each other's flying habits so well that it can be pretty seamless when it works out. Also, it is great to fly as Camo's wingman but we fairly rarely see each other in the game nowadays.

Daddkev has always been a riot to fly with, also fun to fly against (mostly racing though)
