It appears the pilots called pickers the most are flying the Dora. What else they expect them to do, I certainly don't know how to fly it, while dropping in I usually collide with something. For me the Dora is a death trap so far and I respect those who choose to fly it knowing their options are somewhat limited.

These are the two definitions I was taught on the subject.

Picking - Diving in on an already engaged enemy. IE clearing 6.

Cherry Picking - Diving in on low E enemy aircraft that are fresh up from a base.

see, i agree theres a difference, but i'd call your "cherry picking", "vulching"

and i'm sure there are people who say it's not vulching unless the wheels are on the ground..

i think one common thing is all describe a guy with the advantage killing the guy at a disadvantage.

Why post if you're not going to give an opinion...

Very rarely do I not see the picker that picks me, so "SA counts" is not an opinion.... 

What's your opinion on those that always "pick"?

Some people are picked much more often than others so SA does matter. :aok

I should know being constantly picked and told my SA stinks. :old:
I think picking is good for SA practice. :)

'Picking' is making your aircraft selection in the hangar.

Getting killed in a war arena is part of the game. Whining that you 'got picked'. . . classic yuk yuks.

titanic you will never own anyone in anything. . .

The whole reason nrshida brought the argument in here is because this is where the DA crybabies hang out and he knows he can get support here. In reality his own ACM is about dirt poor and that is not up for argument.

Keep trying titanic. One day you may actually hit that tiger on the concrete. . . with your face probably.

Cherry Picking - Diving in on low E enemy aircraft that are fresh up from a base.

"Picking" and "Cherry Picking" means the same thing, over the years it's just been shortened to "pick" as its easier to type one word than two.

Not even going to bother with people like you. You think you can beat me? Do it in the MA or DA, until then, keep explaining your suckage. Talk the talk but can you walk the walk?  ;)

The way I was told fits AH for specifics;
Cherrying Uppers
Picking Fighters

Some of the guys much newer than me have even more bizarre definitions; Vulching being engaging a con with low alt or E, that was my favourite.
