I agree Nath, I think the damage "bubble" back in the day made killing much, much easier. I know my stats from then to know bear that out as well, at least in terms of hit percentage and kills.
I agree about Leviathan, in fact the only reason I still fly the Spit5 is because of watching him back in the day, and trying to emulate that type of flying. You yourself flew a lot like that in the 190a5 when it first was around Nath, I can remember MANY times having you at my 12 at 1000 yards on the deck, and you pulling some crazy crap and killing me on the overshoot. I've got about a half dozen films of you doing it, and I tried for a long time to replicate it by just watching from your view and paying attention to the relative airspeeds and angles.
