I saw a similar post in AGW a year or so ago.
Who is your nemesis in Aces High? in other words which pilot really has your number, gives you the most trouble, or you just cannot kill? You don't necessarily have to dislike them.
For me, I have two, Nathbdp and Citabria. It seems every time I encounter these jokers I do my absolute worst flying. They pretty much kill me every time we meet on equal terms!
Citabria and I used to fly H2H in WB's, I considered us pretty equal at that time, but in this game he has mastered the flight model much better than I have.
I had a ladder duel with nathbdp a few months ago. It was the first time I have ever been shut out in a duel. It was a really humbling experience. At first I told myself something wasn't quite right, then it settled in that he just flat out spanked me!

Nath beat me in a duel too, 3 to 2.
None here, I can't think of anyone I consistently run into all the time off the top of my head.

The ones in red. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Aper in his 109. Torque in his F4U, although I have gotten him a few times, it's a badly lopsided score - in his favour of course (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hmmm. nemesis.. in a 1v1 situation there aren't many who AREN'T my nemesis, but in the general MA atmosphere the ones that stand out to me are Mitsu and Ypsilon (boy does he know how to handle a 51).
Other than those two I've managed to shoot down just about everyone else at some point or another, but not always in fair 1v1 situations (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) So those of you who encounter me regularly you are my nemesi (sp) as well I just can't name everyone (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Coyo, when he played. Seemed he was always in the way of me capturing a base. Don't know that I did any better/worse when engaging him... just that we always seemed to bump into each other.

Definitely Citabria. I remember back a while when he'd take off, look for a 109 and dive hell bent on shooting that 109 down. We had a series of running battles that were very hard fought but I must admit he's damned good.
I've more than lost managed to lose my entire e advantage in the G10 vs his 38.
Personally, nath has spanked me too, but he's on my side (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Hmm... Nemesis, definitly Nath BDP. When i used to fly for the bish's he was always killing me. During afrika corps scenario i had the "luck" of being part of a squadron of Spit Vs that tried to bounce his flight of lower 190s. Even with an alt advantage and surprise I couldnt get him when i was right on his six. He stood that 190 on end to slow down to below stall speed for just a second (I was doing about 100) and right after i passed him within 1/2 second he put a burst in me and i was down.
I just wish he handled his mouth as well as his plane (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ONce he learns to take his defeats as well as his victories he will be a truly great pilot <S>

Citabria and Mitsu.
Everytime I meet one of these guys, I die. Period.

I'm just glad I have Torque and Cit on my team!

Umm... prolly RWY, I never realy fight him ever in the MA but he and Citabria have given me the best and most challenging duels ever. In relation to the MA I'd have to say Citabria or 3+ of the 13th TAS guys against me. <G>
Ripsnort, I don't remember ever dueling you? Could you perhaps refresh my memory?

No toejam.. It seems like I've shot myself down aboutta hunnerd times this tour.. anybody else notice the furballs are back?? "... must. kill.. zeke.. " (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Besides myself, I'd have to say that Nath's seriously and definitively kicked my bellybutton about a bazillion to zip, Citabria would, and everybody else has. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
As for nemesis' I sure miss St Santa, Udie, Berserker and a few others lately.. *sniff* Anybody else notice we havn't seen any LW to speak of other than the occaisonal 109 or 190.. ??
Hang (removes finger from LW whine response button)

My list is long but distinguished. I do a lot of JABO so it seems like I always have ordinance and a low e state whenever I run into one of these guys.
It is though rewarding to shoot down someone you know is high qualified flyer like Citabria, Torque, or even CUDA.
Kbman is a pretty good hellraiser as well. Just glad he's on my team.

Gravity, ack, and stupidity.
I cannot think of one single time in a fight where I haven't said "yanno, if you do that, your gonna die" and do it anyway, and of course, die.
And of course I have that very annoying tendency to openly express where I screwed up. For this I am sorry (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I'm just glad that Cit and Torque fly with me instead of against me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
There is one that I have a problem with on a consistent basis...RA has one of the best displacement rolls I've ever seen. He leads prolly 7v1 by now.
Others who are considered good I seem to never meet up with. Prolly a good thing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Havent played in a while.
But the usual Bish knightmare troop.
Hang, Torque and Frenchy.
Not that I have never beat any of them. But they always make look at any 51, F4U or Jug with respect until I can guage if its one of these clowns behind the reflector sight...

Oh yes how could I forget Hangtime!
That BASTARD kept himself GLUED to my 6 in a scissors that'd thrown most any pilot off. So tense, I pulled every trick I had but in the end he got me. I've since had to endure som punishment from nath showing me proper de-Hangtime techniques and am eager to not try them out.
I'll be up in my 190 soon Hangtime, my joystick is on the way (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). Just takes some time getting here.

For some reason I do not run into the pilots who are named here. We just dont meet in the air that often. The pilots that has taken me to school most often would have to be Torque and Hblair. Haven't run into them in awhile. Don't see Hang very much (that's good news). I think I've run into Cit only 2 or 3 times. I guess Im lucky!

I'd have to say Torque.
Haven't run into anybody lately who has regularlyl given me trouble.
Back when I was flying the D-Hog, after the C-Hog came out I tangled with Torque several times. He is great at forcing the overshoot and killing me. I got him a few times to, but I had to be very careful about it. Torque uses a snapshot plane, he flies for the snapshot opportunity, and his is a great shot and can make them pay off. It is VERY difficult to fly in a manner that will deny a good pilot a snapshot opportunity at some point, and Torque plays that perfectly.

Never heard or ran into this Nath guy.
Nash is alot of fun.....
Hangtime is hard to hit unless you suprise him.
Ice....run ICE RUN!!!
As far as a SIM goes I think we have a very HIGH caliber of pilots in AH. In WB's there were always a large number of newbies in the MA to pick on but in here I gotta say the level of good pilots is MUCH higher. Due to the fact that many of the old AW and WB's vets have all migrated to this SIM.
LLB OUT!!!!!!!!

Drex gave me a fit on a few occasions. He was in a P-38 and absolutely squirrely! I didnt think a p-38 could do what he had his doing.
RA, a fellow P-47 lover it seems..will get your blood pumping.
There are others too. Like someone elase suggested, there are alot of good sim pilots here. You just never know who you are fixing to tangle with.

I gotta single out Regurge. He's a real pain in the butt. He has a nasty habit of beating me in fair fights and in fights in which I started with an advantage.
Hooligan
-
I havent fought him this tour, but in the last few Torque just smacked me silly.
There are 2 times when i absolutely know i will die in the next few seconds:
1)my plane is pointed up and Torque is incoming
2)I know he's around somewhere but cant aquire him.

From Pongo Not that I have never beat any of them. But they always make look at any 51, F4U or Jug with respect until I can guage if its one of these clowns behind the reflector sight...
<S>
LOL, you still have your acid sence of humor I see. Can't wait for u to bring your nose back in Pongo.
Else for my contribution to this ego boosting "look I'm the best" threat that I hate I would say :
Ra and Regurge, because they are both fellow P47 drivers and great ones. On my side, Ammo and Sancho, Nomde because when working as a team we kick butt (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Nath is good, does things in an A8 where you want to say he's cheating. I would respect him if his ego wouldn't be so miserable.
Cita is on my team, he is good, winging with him one day we racked the jackpot, like 3-4.5 kills shared. But there again, for me a great pilot is as much as a good stick as a good nature, and Cita as a tendency to insult and swear those days, too bad (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Hangtime, never dogfighted him, but helps to clean an area when around you (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
KBman, he is sure good at the ACM stuff, but can't really judge him as he flies a Chog often, the couple of pings death kind of ruins some great fighting Vs I need to spray you for 2 secs before I rip your wing.
That would be for the stick part, sure I'm omitting lot of good guys, no offense.
For the good spirit aces, maybe pilots who are not killing machines but definatly of good sport, I cannot forget any of the Thunderbirds. Wolf, Bloom, Mathman, Gritz and Tom, you guys are "aces" to me, even when u all 5 dive on my poor low/slow P47 and rape me, I smile because it's you guys. have a beer for me!
Anyway, almost whoever shot me down or I shot down not flying a "dweeb plane" I enjoy it. Sometimes I ear pingpingpingcrack and see KBman blahblah you... hey, hello KB, nice to see you. No need to be mad, this game is fun I tell you.

I don't know, always met you in FW. But I guess you like me, after xxxxxh in a P47, when u grab a niki, the average Niki dweeb don't understand what u can do with it.

For me, well it used to be Torquila at one point but luckily he's in our squad now... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Just lately it's been 'Mathman'! Salute! Whatever it's in he's always killing me... sometimes it's skill, other times just bad luck. The only good thing was one night last week the luck changed and I killed him about 4 or 5 times in one night.... finally! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

yeah I recall, funker/spit was there too I think. It was a G2, that's why I had some pb in the P47 hehehe. It was fun matches, victory switching from one to another.
-
I haven't had a nemesis, but I did see Paxil do something amazing.
He did a split-s in a Seafire with about 100 feet of alt. I don't know if it was a missed packet or what, but he rolled over, pulled nis nose down and just flipped his back end over and stopped about a foot off the water.
I flight alot of guys who can turn these birds ridiculously, but that was the most amazing flip I had ever seen. I was on his 6, I pulled a majorly high yoyo and just marvelled at that turn.

Hmm..my nemesis? Do you mean in flame wars or in flight. If you are referring to flight, then everyone in the arena who shows up red is my nemesis.
In regards to flame wars either on ch 1 or on these boards, that is a tough question. I've had a few run ins with Nath in the arena but those flame fests were usually over quickly as most of the arena chimed in to razz Nath (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
Also saw some potential in a pilot named Cussword but he was a gangbanger and usually jumped in later after the other pilot was already verbally engaged. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Have to admire Whels and LLBM tho cause those two have some of the best wingman strategies in the flame fests....Whels starts a flame with me and LLBM covers his six pretty quickly. Have noticed however that since they have come back to rooks side, the flame fests have petered out and we typically cover each others oral sixes.
Also used to have some good fites with CaveJ but again...that has gone by the wayside now that we are both Rook.
I believe the most verbally challenged however good a pilot he is is Torque. Most replies to a good taunt are finished by a ':P'. Although he does like to engage (and I <S> that) his verbal maneuvers need a bit more polish, tho I have no doubt that at some point he will rise to the level of some of the best flamers in the MA.
My altogether best flame wars, however, have been with TOWD. Regardless of how deep his foot is up his prettythang or down his throat, he just will not give up.
