Tier List of Sticks

[Animl-AW]

This was a mistake.

Committee is not on talking terms.

Sure had good intentions tho.

Maybe how many times they #1 fighter pilot and not put it up for debate. May be hard to research manually.

Sorry but you are not living in reality. I understand the hate the guy gets, but to say he wasnt a great stick is outlandish.

I think this depends on if he was playing on a level playing field or if he had advantages that others did not. I have spoken with someone who no longer plays how test drove some of these "advantages" and they seem to think he was actively using something. He's not the only "great stick" who seemed to have some of these "abilities"

I have watched his films and it seems that he always seemed to have an uncanny ability to preserve his energy state even while pulling very heavy G. I've watched other films like Yucca who's skill doesn't seem to have any of "magical" abilities.

Just because you don't understand the physics behind what he did doesn't make it magic.    Anyone can do what he does--if they know how.    No cheating required.

Figures you would pop up to defend you're hero even though it wasn't an attack on him. It was just a statement of what I've been told by somebody who would know.

I'm not talking about physics. This is a game, not a flight simulator.  I'm talking about what I have been told by others about two of the same planes pulling the same g with the "same" fuel load (say 25%)  in the vertical and one of them consistently out climbing/zooming the other. It could be that one had fuel that was lighter or maybe one had a skinny pilot.

HT allowed Skyyr back into the game..

Don't think he would have done that if he was using a cheat..

I think he was just that good..

It was his obsession with ruining game play for others using multiple accounts, hunting then lying about it with those skills that got him booted imo..

He belongs on the list if any of the others do..

Unless you can put all of them in ma today with the skills they peaked with in game, I can't see an accurate comparison as the game is not what it was once..

A super bowl KOTH!

Or it could be that "they" don't understand what they're seeing.

I've killed many a "they" using the exact same techniques and there is no cheating to it.   Angles and physics seem like voodoo to the uninformed.

I've seen guys like BigR do some seemingly impossible things, but I was wise enough even then to recognize SKILL rather than blame it on magic.

I think that would be a good way to come up with a list or one of those bracket things that all those with big ego could pound their chests about.

It would be tough for HT to detect a client side modification as it would modify the value it's reporting the server from the client side (something like fuel weight) and without anticheat it would be undetectable. That's why many of the games today are running anticheat to detect modifications to the client side and the variation wouldn't be obvious.

Again, I never said this was in fact the case. I merely repeated what I was told by a former player who was aware of these things and shared with me some of the details.
