WOW!

Yes, Creamo. And without particularly trying - they just sort of happened. And didn't have to be in a large group. 2-3 (-rudu-, -sach- and me) was enough to make a formidable team. Only ever got killed once, and screwed up once (prop strike). The keys were organisation and communication. Those count for a lot. Saw my k/d plunge when I started AH!

BUt a pilot has poor aerodynamics



Plane.

Pilot.

Or as Tumor put it, in the MA, it's the Dweeb Horde.

A plane doesn't have a brain, it only does what the pilot tells it to do.

But in a case where the pilots are of equal skill, then the difference between the planes increase in importance.  Usually in those cases though, the pilot that makes the first mistake is the one that dies, at least this is the case in 1v1 fights.  In the MA, who usually wins or dies is up to who's the one with the bigger horde flying with them.

.. don't fly in there enough anymore but

in CT, where the planes are matched as best as possible, I think its the pilot more than the plane ... the bullets help too

Between two of the same plane type, the pilot.

Even amongst different planes, the pilot will still make the biggest difference.

There are some exceptions...Zeke vs C-47...stuff like that:)

The plane is a pilot multipier.

Never anything but the pilot. The plane ,whether yours or thiers , has strengths and weakness's that only He or She can manipulate to there advantage.

Urchin ... your "subject" had the word BORING in it, so my response is ...

Its the PILOT !!! thats BORING !!!

No matter what type of plane you are in, its the opposing pilot that is BORING !!! ... and this runs rampant in the MA.

One lame-prettythang HO pass and then they run like a little girl afraid of the boogey man. Once joined by 1 or 2 of the countrymen, then they choose to re-engage ... makes me want ta puke !!!

Why is it that people are so afraid to mix it up ? Yes the outcome could be that you die (virtually) but at least you got into a fight and maybe you learned something from the fight ... win or lose.

It seems to me that every fight I get into, I learn something or something that I already learned is reinforced. If more pilots in the MA had a set of balls, things would not be so BORING most of the time.

All wrong, it's the map!!

[myelo]

That's easy. If I kill him it's the pilot. If I die, it's the plane.

[Shane]

i'm suprised no one mentioned the obvious...

it's the pc/connection combo.


other than that... i 0wNZ J00 4LL!!

The plane - visit CT for a few setups where the plane type is regulated and you will see.

If that were true, the Ki-61 would be flown as much as the Spitfire IX.

I agree wholeheartedly with Slap!
