Fear the Pony

bullcrap.

again, you may not like his style but be was successful........same as Rocky and Rapier.


I have no doubts I could beat all three in a 1 on 1, but on paper they are the better pilots. The OP didn't ask who is the most popular.....big difference.



@ Revo...exactly my point a while ago. The best aces in the game don't usually fly the 51. Which really surprises me because it is such a great all around plane that can do so much more than BnZ and run away. But it does take experience to get down and dirty in. Perfect ride for the uber guys IMO.

My vote is for Batfink. I watched him turn fight a Spit V in a Pony D 1v1 deck merge in the DA and come out on top.  

That being said I don't think there is such a thing as a "good" Pony stick unless you're already engaged with two other people.

then im the bestestest 190D9 pilot ever? Its the same stupid statement.
He just doesnt know how to fight his way out from a wet paper bag.

TonyJoey

 

The pwnage FPH TonyJoey can and does apply in his P51D is awesome and to many incomprehensible.  

How so much Pony skill can be built up in one pilot is incredible, yet proven real in multiple fights.

I was but a cheap toy for him to play with at will.

Let there be no doubt.

Let it be known.


FPH TonyJoey, imho the best P51D pilot likely ever... by far.

Having fought your D9, I must say FPH Pervert's D9 is better.

I can't give him enough glory in the P51, but I have never fought him in a P51 co-alt co-speed fight.

Right now I'd say you was top Dora dog.....if you can beat Pervert. Shawk was when he flew it and Moot too. I would consider you top 10 at the very least.

One of the guys mentioned in this thread killed me three straight times, all either picks or with significant altitude advantage over my 38G.  After the third death, I upped a Pony and went Pony hunting.  I bypassed every fight on the way and found said 51 stick, this time co-alt.  He ran for his ack and did some of the most awful stick stirring I've ever seen right up until he blew up.  A fearsome 51 pilot would not do this.  

Pretty much any good stick that gets in a Pony will be a force.  For whatever reason, the vast majority of dedicated Pony pilots don't really squeeze all the potential out of a Pony, instead relying on it's speed to disengage constantly.  It's a shame, really.

   all he ever does is run 1 maybe 2 sectors from me

Tony was fighting TitanMD once, in MA. I upped an LA7, to prevent the dweebs from running. I was watching him and Titan fight, at the first sight of losing TJ ran to his CV. I was forced to dive on him just to get him to fight, he didn't last long after being forced to fight Titan again.

I did fight him at a lower altitude once, while I was in a K4 and tatered him as he went under and over me.

Every other time he has beaten me because 99% of the time he is higher and faster. I don't believe in climbing over 10k to do anything except bomb. Just how I play the game, and people play the game differently.

In my honest opinion there are a lot of candidates for best P51 pilot. Need I remind everyone of the tour Bruv flew the P51 exclusively, it was almost impossible to kill him for the simple fact he used the planes advantages against your planes disadvantages. Higheye is a good P51 pilot, Afflux (LCA), 0Whiskey (LCA). . . .those are the only three that I know will fight you under any circumstance.

When it comes to picking TonyJoey , pacerr, Pand. . .has to be the top three picking P51 pilots in AH history.

  It guess it's just human nature to take the path of least resistance and get out while you can. The majority of people in the game would rather win than lose and having a score/rank system..... and name in lights only adds to that. Rare is the player that takes off with the intent not to get some kills and go land. P51s get a bad rep because so many players, usually new ones, fly them. We all see Doras, Tempests and 262s doing the same thing. Just not in the numbers as P51s.

Pfffftt....

I was one of the orignal tnb ponies, showing it's capabilities...  the I moved onto and did the same for the lala.

You think way too much of me. No kidding.

it's bad form to brag on yourself. It kind of gives the impression of "look at me" .............just sayin'.


You respond to that and I'll know I got into your puny head.

I haven't seen him around in a while but SkatSr was probably the best of those who would actually turn and fight in it.

[Max]

Back in the days of AH1 when The Damned ruled the skies, DmdDano was regarded as the top PonyD stick. Of course there were many very good P51 drivers but when Dano entered a furball, it disappeared rather quickly.

Hi Middy. Welcome back!  

PS
Yes, ScatSr was a demon.
