"To engage, and disengage, at will, is to have won half the battle..."

I.E. if you have an A/C that can out run, and get you out of danger, you already have  an advantage over the enemy.  The other half comes from skill to kill the  opponent without getting yourself killed,  evidently he carries those qualities!

The most impressive score had Fishu in the beta tour 2:
Fishu has 347 kills and has been killed 0 times.

And most of his victories he scored flying FW-190A8:
Fishu has 278 kills and has been killed 0 times in the Fw 190A-8.

Even though thats a joke, I can guarantee that kills were done with hard flying and kicking of fire trigger... and hard running on the deck with multiple opponents chasing me and me screamin like girl in the cockpit.

*edits message* found a screenshot!  found also something else that might ruin the fun of P-51 fliers  
and also screenshot where I lost wingtip for B-17 during that one tour, but landed safely.

 

Tip gone, but who cares and one way to get behind my 6

WTG Fishu !!

What I admire most is the thing you are not an opportunist who grabs a P 51D as the most survivable plane. Racking that K/D in 190A-8 is awesome ! I can only imagine that K/D if you had the Dora there.

190 "fans" should think of that next time they grab P 51, Typhoon or cannon Hog.

Best pilots are always Luftwaffe and you prove it. Because they stick to their planes, no matter how good the opposition is.

No wonder they keep the 262 away

In 10 years I've read alot of fodder on these boards, however, this little tidbit of crappola wins the I'm Fulla Crappolla Trophy .

"Best pilots are always LW....because they stick to their planes"....stop it....please!

If thats the qualifier for being the best pilot, I know some old farts flying this sim that deserve that honor, and they aint flyin German Vermin.

Fishu was exceedingly good in 190 in early beta.  Especially good at choosing victims.  I watched him frequently and he rarely tangled one on one.  Usually trailed low fights from on high and shot down tail end charlies. I doubt he could hold a candle to his previous record in todays AH.  

Still a remarkable beta performance that deserves salutations!.

<S> Fishu.

Come back and lets have a shot at you!

I did 1 on 1, and I did not steal kills or really kill any tailess planes etc.
I actually let many often go ditch/land their badly wounded planes.
Even empty C-47s, I liked to scare toejam out of their pilots all the way to their home :P

But I never wanted to join into fights with lots of enemies and friendlies somewhere near the edge of hell.
I take 1 on 1s yes, but I do observe my situation in that area very carefully before getting stuck for longer time..
its not good if friendlies are way back and there are possible few enemies within couple miles, that can help their buddy out in no time.

I didn't either like to climb 30k, like some guys.. specially fariz, the spitfrie dweeb  
(18-25k was my cruising alts, over 22k only if I felt area having few high enemies)

About Dawn of Aces, there I did not fear go 4 on 1 at all, because I had very good chance to kill them all   (DVa rules!)


Then to that dora question.. I don't really like dora that much, cant do that much maneuvers as in wuergers. (I like extreme maneuvers)

One good fearless spitfrie pilot there is who i dont say as spitfrie dweeb, is By-tor  
then one non dweeb stang pilot is Camel, he will take P-51 quite far in maneuvers.
had few good fights with both of them.


Then still to third thing, I don't fly german planes just because their german, but because they need some learning, unlike their allie counterparts (except P-47, which i like)

Ps. I like to fly less potential planes, because it is enjoyament after you learn to fly one in its extreme limits. (read; learn to maneuver it as good as possible in it)
(i get bored quickly anyway, so tougher planes to learn has longer new stuff to learn)

(hmm... did i write too much?)
