Top P51 pilot

[Rude]

Hristo!

Would you please quit whinin about the allies havin better planes in AH and not havin the Dora or the 262....yeeeesh!!!

The 262 in WB's was at best an annoyance, not a threat. The only Dora I ever was concerned with was the one flown by my buddy DF. He was the best LW pilot bar none.

You brought up the dueling thingie as if it was a method of validating your silly statements re: LW pilots are the best...blah blah. Now you seem to be downplaying the 1v1 duel. I think LW pilots are the most goofy, but not the best flying the skies of AH.

At any rate, this thread has been a welcome diversion for me versus the same old common threads seen so often.

And as a fellow sim pilot, I wish you luck....because we all know your gonna need it!

Cyas Up, then goin dwn in flames!

Rude Out!

Hmm, naa, it wasn't.
I was first one to use CL2 as a pure dogfighter, even before that delicious version where it lost its rock performance.
At least if you talk about being effective in one before that famous camel killer version.

Rude, let us get Dora and 262 first.

Then we shall see if they are a bit more than just an annoyance to your opportunistic pregnant cow.

Contact me for a fight anytime you see me online.

WRONG! dam ur a bad shot ;P
i flew the cl2 in the early stages when the camel didnt stall or had any torque effects. Those were the peak times of DOA, i died quite a bit out of all those kills due to its uberness and the fact that i would have 5-6 on my 6 at a time

Gotcha RAM.. yah see; the fight scheduled with Hristo is a cross-platform fight. Not a 'duel' in the sense of the ladder. So the ladder commentay is outta place here. but since the can's open..

I'm not into flying FW's or any other LW plane; and as you have so eloquently pointed out; I'd have to beat the current three best 190 pilots in their 190's to have a chance of winning a ladder duel.. so it's not just pilot skill here.. it's knowledge of how to fly a LW a/c that makes it necessary to win on the ladder. Not fer me, thanks.  

And, sadly; since the 190 can roll far faster than my internet connection or the HTC server system can display it; that's just gaming the game... IMHO.

So, you ladder 190 guys can pat yerselfs on the back and rest assured; you'll not see me dueling on a ladder since a 190 is not an aircraft I have any intention of flying to prove my skills.

I'll take my sub-standard second rate allied P51D into the main arena any day; and get my victories in the old-fashioned way. The P51D was made in America, (Stand and salute; dammit!) it don't warp roll in the sim; and my victories and escapes are earned.. not gifts from a system incapable of keeping up with it.  

Hang (pulls hood up on flame suit)

Hang, if  you are the challenger, you chose 3 planes, the other guy chooses 2 planes.

I've never seen a HO in the ladder, and as curtosy, most ask if its okay to go guns cold on merge.

The ladder is a measurement of a persons ACM abilities, whereas the MAIN, anyone can pad their score.  You'll notice that most of the top scorers in the Main avoid the ladder..there's a reason for that, they'd get their butt handed to them, and they want to avoid popping their egos. IMO of course.

P.S. Go to the Ladder page. Watch the top 3. What do they have in common?  

They're all really good pilots, and would clean the floor with me no matter what plane they were flying???

I see some contradiction here. Ladder is a pure "score mongers" place, it is motivated purely by the "top hunger", unless in MA you can not say there that you fly for fun. If you want to duel for fun, not for place on the ladder, take the pilot and go with him to TA without any ladders. I know that many top pilot in HTC score page do not care about scores (I personally DO care, but many from top 10 never even check it).

I can not say about other people, but for ACM I need a) not warping connect b) normal not spiking not freezing controls, c) I would prefer at least to have view cap on my stick, because now I use one hand to trim, view, throttle and all else. I even do not speek about pedals which gives big initial advantage over me to all, who has them. Till I have all the abovementioned I wont join ladder. And do not trouble trouble, if some of the "top scorers" I know will join, I am sure that ladder top 5 will look just the very different way. Right now I see just a bit above average pilots there. Sure, it is all IMO.

I look  at the ladder  as a way of saying "Hey, wonder how good that guy is on "equal" terms, rather than Main where he  shoots me down because he always has alt.."

By the way, NOTHING will get your adrenline flowing like a ladder duel, just ask those that fly it.  

I've never once heard anyone boast about  their rank in the ladder.

Guess your glass is half full, mine half empty!

You are absolutely sure that is 100% LW pilot skill and nothing else?

Ehm, my first time in Dawn of Aces was in VERY early stage.
You're not only whos seen it all!
I was one of those camel dweebs sucks guys, who flew Dr.I and DVa (ohh loove, DVa is my favorite camel killer!)
this is not from the really begining, but, remember -hoff- perhaps?
100 kills with 16 flights and 1 death?
