the best fighters

[Stampf]

Hopper is pretty decent, even though its been a long time since i have seen him.

He's on all the time.  Wife ack, small children, etc... but he's still here.  Never misses a Squad Night or FSO.

[Tank-Ace]

Krapgame
Greebo
0lDemon
Ink (out of people who ever fly the 110)
Kazza
M00t

God, too many to list....

[save]

The best guy I flew against, and together with is Drex, both in Warbirds and AH.

Good to hear!
I blame my timezone then

I know who the best are, but I think they would quite rightly cringe if I mentioned them. Being a 'name' in Aces High and being the best are 2 different things, one requires you to be a decent stick and cultivate an image amongst the community ,the other requires 1000s of hours of practice ego and reality checks and learning and not worrying about an image.

and then Truth knocked on the door came in,sat down and listened to the conversation,making brief comments where necessary.

Pawz, flies alone, racks up kills, doesn't advertise it and always has a go. Win or lose same gentlemanly demeanour. We're all fighting for second place.

The only reason i see people looking for a 1 on 1 in the DA lake is that they have alt and look for a guy to fight that's lower and think that is a duel. I see it all the time and have to bleed them and kill them witch a good pilot can do. Its a waste of time to duel this way. Go to a field pick merge rules and same plane and you can get many duels in and have a blast. This is the only way to see who is who. If i get someone that's not as skilled i will than get a harder plane to fly duel them and practice my skills in that and making the fight more even. so no matter what skill levels the pilots have you can make it up with plane on plane change. (btw) dueling this way means fighting not merging and then zooming up to start B and Z tactics unless agreed by both party's

<Salute> Uptown, This is what i am talking about you came in to DA B and Z'ed my 38 at the lake when you could have asked for duel. It was a grate fight but we could have done 3 fights at a field faster than the bleed tactic that was used and we didn't get ganged but you left before i could even say S. Fun fight come in and duel some time S.

say what?! I BnZed your 38? How the hell did I do that when you were a good 4K above me. Your reality leaves something to be desired. And the fight sucked . Here's the film http://www.mediafire.com/?51do1yh80ny01uh


Not once in that fight was I above you. I don't know who you are...never heard of you, but you're mistaken. I normally don't fly that high in there but on the sortie where you engaged me, I was looking for jimmy777 as he picked me 3 times in a row. Films to follow. http://www.mediafire.com/?c36u9vh358ng7tu <---190D runs until he sees friends, then ties me up so they can get there to gang. 1 spit, 3 F4U-4s and the Dora. This is what I mean about stupidity. I have the film of the fight before that one. I was in a 109G6 squaring up on a Spixteen and ended up with 2 -4s and a 110 on me  
Maybe this type of thing is why you joined a DA squad IKO?   go land your DA kills you earned them

My vote is for Bighorn....

As for the lake there are good guys, sticks and fights but at least three new pissants every night.  They like to talk talk talk....(although not as good as Changeup)so take the good with the bad and have fun

Wow....I didn't get you a present

[jododger]

Yea, that's my fourth post of 2013.  Guess I'm about done for the year.

Ya know I've heard a lot about BigHorn. Skyrock told me he was propbably about the best the is/was. I often wonder when I find myself overwhelmed at the lake, what would he do in this situation. 

Because I have no answers when it comes to fighting 2 spixteens and a handful of -4s at once.

[FiLtH]

   Thats because to get the most out of the lake its about teamwork. I tend to fly alone alot and still have a good time, but expect to get "team-worked". There are many other fields to go 1 on 1.

He probably would have died and re-upped.....like everyone else does at the lake.....and doesn't complain about it......

Without posting the PM, Levi agreed with Bighorn as a/the selection.  Skyrock has flown against all these guys simply do to his tenure so I would go with that.  I've only flown against BigHorn once and it was an instructional setting....but he played with me....literally toyed.  I could feel it by the simple ease he had of correcting purposeful errors he made.  Superlative is the word I'd use for what I saw.

Others die by making mistakes....the best can fix those errors in-flight and still beat you decisively.

[Debrody]

I could beat Bighorn 

... as long as it wasnt his 4th day back...
if this means something.
