I hope to high heaven that Mr. Sakai isn't watching over us right now. I've spent this last week flying the skies of AH and what do I see? F4U's, Spit's, NiK2's, and the occasional P51 and 190. And how many episodes did I get to see the beloved Zeke? What maybe 2 or 3 times the entire week! And even then the pilot did not have the skills needed to push this plane to it's limits. Outrage!
What a sad day. The Zeke, possibly the best fighter in the game, seems often to be overlooked for the flashier, more colorful dweebmobiles. Friends, Mr. Sakai spent his entire piloting career in the Zeke, and occasionally the later war fighters, but he said he would always prefer the Zeke. I think you all should think twice before grabbing your same old crutch.
Just last night a 190 pilot spent his entire ammo load trying to ping me once in my lowly Zeke. B&Z all the way baby, not one ping. Then he gets on the con and yells at me for jerking the stick! He stated that my Zeke was doing "unrealistic maneuvers" which no real Zeke could do! I was polite and advised him that he should learn to fly the Zeke before he accuses me of spiking the stick!
Without a doubt my friends, in the hands of an uber pilot, the Zeke is the best fighter of the game. Give Mr. Sakai some respect!
