Tier List of Sticks

[ZE]

Too many great AH Pilots should be in this list... Too many good pilots in AH that I can't even get close to a dogfight. This "game" is based on how each individual perceives the fun in a game. Some want to have all the advantages before attack, others prefer smooth rides on bombs and ground targets or killing fighters using bombers'guns, others like those messy situations during furballs, etc...

Me, just trying to have the best fun I can for my money on this game and to know friendly people with the same interest in combat flight simulator.

Well there is no logical way to put players in tiers.

Yes there is, there is a committee

want to know what tier they put you?

Inquiring minds want to know

I've got a better idea. A challenge for your committee members vs me.

1. Who gets the best K/D in the upcoming scenario
2. A 1v1 challenge in Match play best out of 7
3. The best overall fighter rank for the month of october, no perk planes allowed.

Then we can talk about tiers

You really have to throw out score as a measuring device.  Too easy to manipulate scores.

When I think about players best able to manipulate a disadvantage into an advantage.  Those are the ones I think of as the best sticks.

Players like LilMak, ZE, 2cmex, Yuuca, the stig, and others I cannot remember their names at this moment.

I agree. Somebody with little skill can B&Z to a good score or take a perk Mossie and rearm 10 times and have enough in that one flight to stay at the top of the bomber score charts.

I agree with the ones you've listed and there are more, HollyWd, Eagler, Joker and some of his crew are decent too. Too bad there' not a way to click on a pilots name on the roster and rate them. I think that would be the most accurate way to meet them.

Good sticks to me are people that are willing to "fight" even when the odds are not stacked in their favor and score will not reflect this.

This type of talk doesn’t look good for the committee.

This type of talk doesn’t look good for the committee.

Are we talking skill or talk? Talk doesnt equal skills  I was throwing out a challenge for fun.

Here's some real #s for you backed by the games mechanics. Only 86 players have achieved #1 fighter. I wouldnt say its easy to manipulate. These names show consistency in the MA not only being solid 1v1 sticks, but also extremely good MA fighters with superb SA and ability to win that months highest score over everyone else regardless of if others were "trying or not".

These names are just a few of the "S" list players over the long history of the game. There are sooooo many more, but these players did achieve #1 consistently and/or proved they were great over the years in the MA.

The closest I came to getting #1 in fighter Skyyr, SkyyrII, and SkyyrIII beat me out 

Also, I miss VansCrew...when's the last time anyone heard from him?

Less than 1/4 of those names were found credible for S Tier.

Back in 06 when the tides were getting good. I almost had #1 but freaking killinU beat me out as I just couldn't get the points. He was a damn good 1v1 stick too.

Thats up to your interpretation and can be put on what ever list your "committee" wishes. It's a lot like saying whose the best wrestler or tennis player, f1 driver, baseball player, or best band, you can have your interpretation and  thats all good but there are statistical metrics that are compared in all of those industries.

That is true, but no one cares about fighter score on the committee.

“Only the most timid of fighters post about score”

“Rarely you’ve ever seen an S tier stick go heavy on score”


There’s a lot experience on the committee that spans all the way to the 80s.

Than your committee is irrational and discredited.
