Wanna know the big difference between fighting Drex and Nath?

Drex is fun to fight.

They are both beatable, but one of 'em cries like a pinched tit.

Get it straight or stay quiet!

I only cry when I'm impressed with the superlative skill that you portray when you defeat me so bravely Splurgious--

For I feel the need to make it known to all on Channel 1.

Are we talking about 190A or 190D pilots?

Theres huge difference in style one needs to use when flying 190A-8 compared to 190D-9.

190D-9 is very forgiving in AHs latewar furball arena. You can do many mistakes and get away with it quite well.

190A-8 is different. No outrunning and outclimbing from most main arena opponents at equal E state. If you make mistake and lose advantage you have to pay for it. And only agressive flying gets you away and mostly with kill.

One needs to be very good in manipulating E differences and timing of maneuvers to survive in low 190A-8.

Umm..what I wanted to ask.

Who is best 190A-8 pilot in AH?

I think its more interesting question since it rules out dweeb-nines.

It appears I am.

Though Furious' skill is redoubtable.

Some of the less vocal pilots might surprise you (they don't talk as much sh*t but they get the killing done)....

After flying LW in AH for the last year or so I'd submit:

Urchin, Wotan, Glasses, Moot, Wilbuz, Heinkel, Daniko, and myself (last tour 19-0 A-5 92-10 D9 etc.)

Sry Elysian but score (IMO) means nothing when flying A5/A8. The most A5/A8 pilots have a fairly good score and when i want i surely can have a K/D of 10 in my beloved 190.
The real skill is to survive in a 1 vs 1 or 1 vs many fight in these fighters and thats really tough. I guess Urchin is on of the few (Nath i dont know) who can FIGHT in a 190A and not only B&Z or make 1 or 2 turns and run away from those "Never loosing E Spitfires".

Right on Duedel,

I say lets do a 190a8 tournament,

'whos the best pilot i ever saw?'

'youre looking at him'

hehe

Glasses · « **Reply #57 on:** January 23, 2003, 03:16:42 AM »

I'm ok, I don't think am good but Ely ,Willie And Apar are the best pilot I've seen in the Wuerger.

Nath is one of the best in the 190,aswell. He taught me many things in the art of killing shiny toejamstains, that young'n.

Apar · « **Reply #58 on:** January 23, 2003, 03:26:07 AM »

Well Glassssseessssssss, you and Wilbuz are THE best Ta152 pilots

I prolly suck big times in 190's now, I hardly fly anymore. And when I fly I ride 109g10 since 1 tour now (trying to reach the level of hblair's g10 performance)

Glasses · « **Reply #59 on:** January 23, 2003, 03:32:12 AM »

Well yeah by default we are who else is crazy enough to take that plane for a spin often.

But really when I'm in a Ta and I see a higher con I run like school girl in heat.
