"We all know."

Please, do share why it's done then. Even Hitech himself has said it does nothing.

Kills engine torque is my guess..and others..

It is a gamey as it gets imo as air starts weren't happening in a2a ever..

Doubt you would be doing it if it didn't help you

I am online from 8pm to 9pm eastern,  if I  logged on you it was because it was 9pm...not that you were trying to hunt me down again..

See you and your groupies tonight..same bat time same bat channel

It seems half the time people are saying this is a game and don't use real life tactics.

The other half of the time, this is a sim and you should stick to how it was done in real life.

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Ah. So thus far, we have the following assertions:

  • "Skyyr couldn't get so many kills if he didn't fly late war planes."
  • "Well, ok, so Skyyr can fly mid war planes just fine too, but he wont fight from a disadvantage in an already-disasdvantaged plane."
  • "Well, ok, so he fights from a disadvantage, but he won't fight from an extreme disadvantage after dispatching 3 guys in a 1v1 followed by a 1v2 in a midwar plane."
  • "Well, ok, so he'll fight from a disadvantage in a midwar plane, but he uses gamey tactics."
  • "ok, so the tactics he uses are tactics anyone can do and aren't unfair and I can't even explain or understand what they do, but I'm going to complain anyway."

Hmmm... I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

Hey sky..the world isn't all about you .. nor is this game
 sorry

I want all decent sticks in crappy planes to help the newbie stick around more than 5 minutes..but egos prevent that

Some just want their next kill in the game they seem to spend a great deal of their waking lives playing...

Enjoy your game..just think it's not healthy for it's longevity

I will enjoy mine like I always have

Soon as I get kill this guy is switching to the team I'm fighting and generally defending my field against so he can come in going 450 mph and engage only me no matter what I'm flying somehow until he gets picked overshooting. I notice he doesn't get a kill on anyone or lose any E on anyone until he engages me first. He don't go for anyone else and hes giving up all SA just to "get the kill" on me.Then I go to the other side to defend a field and he switches to come try to engage me over there. He claims it's for the fights, but the knights were being double teamed and he doesn't switch to my team to help of course, just trying to get easy defensive picks on me while I'm trying to defend against Jabo over my own field then wants to claim I'm "running" when he's flying the fastest plane in the game and engaging me with E advantage coming right towards me before anyone else over my own field. Crap is getting very old and I think hitech is kidding himself allowing this nonsense to destroy the integrity of the MA with clear targeting of players and abuse of side switch to target me and other players.
its weird, i know there are certain squads and people that hunt me when they see the kill feed on me.  i dont cry about it, i encourage it as it keeps me from looking for a fight.

If you feel anything unfair occurred, send film or post it. In fact, I was streaming the entire time and anyone who saw it can vouch I had no idea it was you until the 2nd engagement (see below). Please note that at no point was anyone logged on your side nor was anyone "tracking you." You (and others') paranoia is getting to comical levels, especially when there are only 20-30 players logged on per side. It should be VERY easy to see if a shade is logged on and tracking you - the fact you know that there isn't yet you keep claiming you're being "tracked" is very, very laughable. It sounds more like you're upset that you can easily be identified given how low numbers are and you're upset you can't hide in a furball, but I digress.

Both engagements, we engaged co-alt (we were close to co-E the first fight, but I had much more the 2nd fight). In the first fight, I engaged you while you were trying to vulch someone ironically much slower than yourself. I didn't even know it was you until you dove straight for the deck then ran to ack while keeping your speed unusually high, then I saw the kill feed when you shot down weiser.

Better luck next time <S>

Hitech made it perfectly clear, LONG ago... Aces High is a Game.

I mean, when every player online is a real player and there are no shades logged onto the country of a player you're fighting; you can't "track" them, can you?

I love how people throw out logic and critical thinking in order to save their egos.

Strange, not heard or seen anything that would suggest that. I don't see you as being disliked that way.  :aok

It’s easy to see. In the am if I up from a back field I will be met by every joker that is on. Also there are 2 room players that will hover over a fight and weirdly pounce on me after a kill feed goes up. Shane has began to do it in the last few days. Three times I have watched him orbit over fights and as soon as I get a kill there’s a 51b going 500 mph swooping in. Again I don’t mind. If they are looking for me I don’t have to look for a fight.

I'm in a b-pony just flying around doing high cap, sometimes engaging, sometimes not; definitely not hunting anyone, not even skyyr (he just happened to be a target of opportunity several times - Occam's Razor.)

If I were actively hunting someone, they'd know about it because I'd be letting them know. And I don't because I'm not here for my ego, lofl, I'm here to check yours.

It's amusing in how when I reversed Skyyr in the original film posted here, how both Snakeiis and you came tearing in directly for me, ignoring the other cons for the most part. Hilariously very BT-ish coverage of dear leader by you two.

Flippz, you're trying to fight way above your weight class here, sit down.

You did, by your own admission - "you held me there" so someone could clear your 6. lofl.
