Westy  can take off and move around.

In  aw3  i would of gone yes too if i got a kill on him. I loved killing trainers.

His transition to ah has been poor check his stats.

He posts often. His game on the bbs is much better than his game in the ah arenas.
He needs to find out what went wrong and fix it.

He has the potential to be a much better player than he has shown so far.

EYE, you really need to drop this fixation you have with stats as a measure of skill.

Kill/death ratio and the like MAY be a measure of skill in AH, but just as in AW it may also not.

For instance:  In AW, Zazen had a k/d ratio approaching 100:1 or thereabouts.  One day I talked him into flying some duels in the training arena whereupon he died, literally, within two seconds of our first merge.  I have film of this if you're interested.

Also, I prefer to auger to end flights in AW and AH.  In Tour 4, I managed 427 kills to 181 deaths.  Of those 181 deaths, probably half involved my augering for a replane or diving into a crowd of badguys because my fuel was about to run out.  In my mind, death means a quick respawn, and a quick respawn means a faster return to the action.  It ALSO means that any stats you use to measure my skill are incompatible with your criteria.

Vulching increases hit percentage and k/d ratio.  Would you consider someone with a 10:1 k/d ratio that was entirely the result of vulching to be better than a furballer who manages a 1.5:1 or 2:1 ratio?  Why?

It's fine to have your own set of standards for excellence, EYE.  But don't go using them to attack the "skill" of others when flying styles differ.

Now if only I could get Ripsnort's head painted on the side of my plane as a kill along with his big blue piece of S#$!.. I'd be a happy man

On the topic of why you killed zazen so easily. You do know why you could eh?

Getting 6 kills a mission with two account is easy.
Years ago when i first defected from a land to bz i followed him at every oportunity.
For two months i did this.
Zazen always had streak kills with the same name. You could see it on his score.They always seemed to be newbe names.
He always got those high kills swooping dwn and killing guys too. The guys never moved.
Ah i remember like it was yesterday

Now zazen was good but how good ill never know?

Fighting you dead+ a t and ber he would be easy meat i would think. When did he fly much other than a a8.

When you factor in the fact he ran 2 accounts and killed one to boost his score sometimes who knows how good he was?

I did learn tactics from watching him.
I  use some of them to this day. He was very good at geting kills and buging.

I used to love telling badz i thought Zazen was the best It used to make him furious.

The old days

Sorry westy, I had alot of respect for you, obviously mistaken. Your just another crowd pleasin mob rules turd. In this case you dont obviously know what your talking about, nor ever flown against the accused in AW.
Sorry if you or anyone else disagrees, but thats life aint it. Posting this obvious little "oh so sad, someones crashed the party" troll is sickening. And in case you didn't notice, I call em like I see em.
Sincerely,
Liz

Not very good.  He flew a Ki-84 for awhile so he could manuever if needed.  You'd think he would have learned basic ACM from that, but alas.  He flew for k/d, and any skills beyond the narrow set required to climb to 35k, sit on a perch, and dive on engaged opponents were severely lacking.

These tactics maximize the k/d ratio, but they are NOT a measure of skill.  They are a measure of skill only when compared against others who fly the same style.

Nope, alas.  <whistful sigh>  Money and all that.  I just didn't feel like making a big to-do about it on the boards like many around here seem to enjoy doing.

Awww.. too bad. I still remember that duel we had for the ladder a long while back. I learned a lot from that, and I've been able to apply it to the arena. Thanks for the fights and the encouragement. I hope you'll be back soon, it was always a blast to fly with you and certainly a challenge to fly against you. S!, and I hope your luck will allow you to return soon!

S! DMF, hope to see you soon!

Huh ?

Westy is superior ??? where did he post this ?

Bloke has been verry helpfull whenever someone needed help.(Yeah, I've been one of those too...).

What he meant was the UBB mood has changed over the last six months, and I wholeheartedly agree with that. Do as most of us do Westy, stick to your Squad, trust no one, they are everywhere...

<S!>Westy !
