probably gonna forget names...sorry if i do.

dangerous is the word....the 1 you fight is way better then you thought he was....the 1 's that make you go HHMMMM...kill em fast or you die....


Trikky- good stick(too agressive), but very gutsy

Shane- good stick talks too much :eek:

some AK's like Nimitz or Iron

Whels - but from his POV, your lucky and unskilled when you do kill em....lacks respect...probably best GV man out there.

Urchin - good stick, but relax bud its only a game

Widewing - good stick good SA....ultimate cherry picker...he's the 1 you talk too if you wanna survive in MA.

Fariz - comrade fariz is an excellent stick. just his 30 + tif mission sucks :mad:

some twin devils squad have good sticks

and that PONY squad....wldthing pretty good 2

probably forgot some other excellent drivers out there....could only talk about Bish or Rooks drivers, as I'm a Knight.

but our squad is no#2 over all.....for me the best are my Squaddies....no offense :D

none of the pilots listed could beat drex in anything aproaching a fair fight.   That is not to say that they aren't "smarter" or have better scores.   For instance.... drex would swat widewing like a fly if they actually fought but wide is probly smart enough to run.   Does that make wide a better pilot?    That is really all you guys are talking about.   I don't really care what the guys score is when we are fighting.  I judge his skill level at the time.   I don't assign any value (good or bad) to the one guy in the six (in the six vs one situation) that kills me.   I don't assign any value to the B&Z guy that gets me after I have killed someone and am low, slow, damaged and out of ammo.    

Drex on the other hand is hard to ignore... you come at him from the rear with an alt advantage in a better plane than his slow P47 while he is fighting two other guys and.... he spanks ya.   and... you feel stupid.   Better than that... you think that next time it will be different but it never is.    pretty hard to argue against that kind of skill.  

I think that of all the people mentioned.... drex is the one who's methods are not in question.   The rest of us depend on some sort of advantage.... drex depends on you having the advantage so that you will fell safe enough to attack him so that he can kill you.

Not much here I can disagree with AND, he doesn't talk smack, very modest. However, GARN (Garner in AH) is online now (from WB's) and I *know* for a fact after he gets his feet under him, he'll smack Drex around...still the best online sim pilot I've seen in 13 years of online sims.

here is a vote. I salute all the real Allies that actually flew these planes, I really dont want to salute the Axis during those periods in  WW2 that we went there to destroy cause of them being nothing but  bunch of murdering people in uniform. I salute my dad (who was 1 0f 12 that survived thru a ambush when his company crossed over into Germany and 250 guys was machined gun down) and other like them that won the purple heart at the ziegfreid line and all the other battles, I salute my Uncle who won the Silver star in italy saving alot of guys from dying and in facing death did what he had to do )and all the other men like him. And i salute the guys and gals of the armed forces who lived and died in all the wars hero's or not. and I salute all the people in the armed forces now , But this is just a game and i enjoy it 100% and I thank all the guys that help me out when i was in need of help But if i dont salute you in game is cause not that i dont respect any one here. but As a vetran during the Viet nam war days I have saluted many a grave stone to guys that died in battle that i didnt even know. So i play and have fun and help anyone that askes for it or not. and appreciate all the help that you give me. So lets have fun , it is a game and if a better plane or a better pilot or if you do something wrong and one gets lucky and shoots you down be happy you can up again and continue, cuase you may be in a plane that should of been shot down by a better plane or pilot. But will send a to all the real veterans that are in the game like my self. to you Guys and to the 332nd mongrels and 332nd vikings, two squads i have flown with cause they took the name after the real 332nd and to all the squads that took names of real squadrons. Ok had my say . Vetren days are comming up and i never forget the ones that really did Serve the US armed forces............and to the ones that will flame this well i have this to say.......................... ..... end of quote

And yet endlessly upping at a capped base (base defense) earns your respect?


Nowhere did I speak of upping at a capped base.
Defending a base isn't necessarily the same thing IMO.

lazs is right on IMO.

no one could possibly flame that, sarge. you nailed it on the head, it's just a game for us.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

rip... I gotta disagree..  I beat garn at least half the time in wb and I am at best mediocre (except in a ta152).   Garn didn't have the ability to turn the tables like drex does.   I think garn was  a better shot and used/cared about an advantage better/more than drex does.    Also... garn would get mad and drex doesn't.

Never seen Garn get mad. He's Japanese. Very modest. Once Garn was flying low in a P38F. Two pilots jumped him with alt advantage, Drex was one I believe, and if memory serves me correct, Boa was the other both in P38L's...anyway, Garn killed both in about a 30 second period...I was higher than the rest of them, and asked Garn if he needed a hand..."no" was he reply as he killed both. Incredible.

Hey! Does anyone else hear that sound?

Sounds like a slurping, sucking, blowing sound...

why do Drex and Garn have their pants around their ankles?

I dunno...

Personally, I'd never drop my trousers around Rip or Lazs... would you?
