The reason that 999000 is the master

I'm just going to throw my experience out there:

999000 isn't very good. I've probably encountered him 30-40 times and almost always kill his entire formation. In all of those encounters, I've lost two (2) planes to him, out of 60-100 kills on him. He's always been a nice, fun guy; but, I don't see anything difficult about downing him.

I find SHawk to be a vastly better bomber pilot, and honestly much more deadly than 999000.

While Wizz isn't as lethal as SHawk, I also find him harder to kill. That is to say, while SHawk might shoot me down more than the average bomber pilot, Wizz is less likely to die.

That's right Ack Ack!!! Because around a thousand kills in 6 months, a couple hundred million in damage, or little over 500 bases from the start of the year with less than 3 people just isnt good enough for you people  :rofl


I'm just going by my experiencing in encountering your bombers and quite frankly, I find shooting down your bombers not be very difficult and in fact, a lot of your "maneuvering" is what has gotten you shot down in our encounters.  But as I said in my previous post, to each his own.

you know your exactly right a lot of that moving aroubd does get killed. Im just experimenting seeing what works and what doesnt. Id just like to think there is more that I can do than just fly in a straight when under attack.

That is why I fly fighters!

Then again, I'll take a 110 if I really want to attack a base or your bombers!  ;)

I have a better one about spawn camping, but I think it's a little too 'one sided'.

Upping 17's to defend a base can be quite exciting.  If they are not at the point of vulching yet, up and jump in the tail gun, use your rudder pedals to circle the base.  One big fat juicy set of buffs attracts the cons like flies to (you know what).  As they fly in keep it in a turn and belt them.  I landed 5 kills in less than five minutes one day .. even Akak fell for it :)
