Thanks Sandman. <S>
Honestly, I'm not in the same league as most of the others on this list. I'm not as good a natural stick as most of those guys, however, experience (read age) and treachery count for a lot in air combat.
Anybody remember Garner from WB? He flew AH in beta... shudder. That man could fly an F6F-5 like nobody I ever saw. I still remember the day I actually beat him 38 vs. 38 in a knock-down drag out 10 minute fight in WB, and that was a lucky snap-shot after I survived his snapshot. Dueling with my squad-mates is always a challenge, most of the Pigs are legendary in their skills. Fighting Worr is like playing Chess in the air, he's always thinking 3 moves ahead.
You will notice that the top guys don't tend to run into each other very much. I don't really have a nemesis per se, mostly because I don't run into the same guy very often. The more experienced hunters will naturally avoid each other. Even if we do engage each other, we'll tend to disengage once the advantage is lost if possible. The top hunters will mostly focus on the easier prey, simply because the more skilled adversary will avoid engaging at a disadvantage. It's really interesting, I can normally id the really dangerous fellows in a furball simply based on their positioning and target selection.
Now, sometimes we go looking for each other.
I look for enemy Jugs, just because it's really nice to have a more even fight, and I love to see what moves other Jug pilots will throw at me. I think I learn more from fighting other Jug drivers like Ammo than any other fights I get into. I never do seem to find Frenchy, though I've tangled with Sancho a few times. Lately Ammo has sucked me into doing a few stupid moves and taught me a few things. <S> Ammo!
Who is the most dangerous pilot? The guy that's higher than me!
