Thnx for the nominations fellas very appreciated

And im sure Drex is all rusty by now, last time i seen him on was 3 months ago? Maybe hes gone?

I remember SCOP from WBs did incredible things in that F6F. Always thought of him as definately one of the best ever. I remember one fight where I ID'd Scop down in a furball, he in a F6F up against 7 or 8 other fellas in spits and zekes....maybe a Ki84 or three, that were none to shabby by the standards of the day. By the time I got my Spit5 down into the fight there were maybe 2 or 3 guys left and scop was smoking. I figured I finally had the bastard but he snap rolled out from behind the guy he was chasing and recovered on my shocked bellybutton as I tried to climb up and over.....he burst me wide open as a virgin on prom night. I saw him finish off the remaining victims and give the salutory ....I was bummed but finally and forever more resigned to my exact location in the circle of life.

Garn, yeah. Always a fearless F6F and damned near invincible.
Damned near.........

Drex, hell...That guy could make magic in a 109. I know what lazs speaks of. I would come into a fight with that guy and try every damned trick in the book a dozen times over and he always, ALWAYS turned the tables on me. I had him figured out what with his reversals and all. Dozens and dozens of dozens of deaths had given me that false sense of knowledge that comes with age and experience. Yeah right! I ended up my daze in WBs just thinking "screw it" and would fly in front of him simply to get it over with.

I havent seen anyone approach the consistency here in AH of the best sticks in WBs. Something about the way this game is engineered seems to void the pure magic that enabled some rare sticks in WBs to fly into absolute ZERO odds and clean everyone up. Maybe its for the better but I do miss those days..........In AH teamwork makes the survivor.

Yea Drex is pretty good. Hes alright.

Wldthing, no offense, but Drex could fly once a year and still not struggle much with anyone here. At least thats my opinion.

DmdCoach - who'd probably say "No way"

IMHO one of the class acts in the game as well.

Drex is known by several here who have offered him up as the best. I know him personally as well, and I'm here to tell you that if you don't stop, I'm going to have to listen to his inflated ego for months to come.

Seriously, not only has he paid his dues to learn his craft, he remains modest through it all....that is rare. For that reason alone, my money would be on Drex.

It's refreshing to see someone that after they hand you you're arse, they salute you and tell you good fight, inspite of the brutal truth that you don't deserve the compliment nor the consideration.

And yes, scop was very skilled indeed, but not good enough to best Drex.

The only downside to Drex are his looks....poor guy.

wide.. you are justifying and I think you are smart enough to know it. I don't care about "fair" fights. the point is... drex wins from unfair fights just like you. difference is... he works from an unfair disadvantage and you work from an unfair advantage. this has nothing to do with anything except... skill level. He is more skilled than you. you fly smarter than him but then.... everyone inthe game flys smarter than him.

So I guess drex has made "best" a blurry (at best) equation. His lack of hit percentage and his willingness to fight till he dies make his "score" relatively low. some, like yourself make the most of the fact that you can play this game risk free if you are smart enough and have relatively high scores. I am merely saying that he has more acm skills than you and that if you attack him... then, what you would normaly consider a suffiecient advantage will not be enough. You will get burned. If he attacks you.... you will not be able to defeat him on your own even with a huge alt or plane choice or position advantage.

In the arena this translates to.... Some people are scary... you attack them with an advantage and they look helpless and they somehow turn everything around and you die... Others swoop down from an advantage and you can't seem to overcome your disadvantage in time or... you never even see em...

when you reflect back (like in this thread) the former sticks out and the latter has to blow his own horn cause for some reason... ya feel like ya never really got beat by him.

Drex is the one that stands out. There's a lot of very careful and calculating fliers here, but only drex makes my jaw drop every time.

Yikes, how's that? Like a hooker that see's a wad of cash and a golfball sized baggy of crack?

Anyway, just how do you get so good in flightsims? Never understood that. Practice or what?

What the hell... I'll jump on the Drex is God bandwagon...

Apache nailed it:

"Drex is the indirect creator of the common used expression in combat sims...WTF?"

Watching him at work is a sureal experience.
