lol.. Sorry but if you want to stay alive in MA, cherry pickin is the way to fly.
I like to furball but MA isn't the place to do it, because each minute your in the furball, 3 more la7's will pile on top of the fight.
I vote myself for cherry picker award.

Iceman24 or Ghi
Karaya

Ezpickins or Hispd

Bzzzt! Wrong! I saw you down in the weeds with the rest of us last night Lazerr. Cherry picking? Nah! Your shooting eye was definately working though :)

I second Lazers self-nomination. When Im in the same sector with him, he usually does very well, and I usually land a bunch of assists :)

If vulching were included in the discription it would be a perfect fit ;)

oooo.. QQsaint is a very good selection, I change my vote on myself, to saint.
I notice Windx is very good at coming in at 20k, but he usually dies.. does he still qualify?:eek:

Thank its about time to come back:eek:

Yes.
I think i like watching him die more than any other chronic picker though. You can literally hear him squeal as he tries in vain to get away.

SHawk is most ceratinly King of the Cherry Pickers. While sure Fester picks, at least he can fight his way out if he gets caught co-alt and co-E. No offense Scott, but I feel a lot more comfortable fighting you once you're off your perch.

-SkyChimp wait a few months ill be better than 3var maybe i might kill levi hehe:huh
(kinda spam)

I am a great cherrypicker, because:
1. I never get a kill that way.
2. I quickly blow any advantage and lose the fight.
3. I routinely dive into a swarm of enemies and never, ever, check my six.
The reason that list makes me a top candidate is because.....
Its true.

You are absolutely right.

Kazaa, KITE777, and.. the bish :D

I've never seen KITE777 even try for anything but a HO shot, I cant imagine him cherrypicking though anything is possible I guess.

Wow you have a big mouth as always (thinks you need to go have fun)

Seems akak and pellik are the best pickin' They are good but they love pickin' (kill stealing)
Worst I ever saw..
My guys missing a wing pellik comes down from 25k steals my kill (that was dead smoking and on fire.
Thats why i left from bish back to rook :p
(edit i never pick) only when im geting banged by bish.

Something like 90% of Air to Air kills were scored on victims that never even knew they were under attack. Either they were too pre-occupied with maintaining formation or were otherwise 'engaged'. The simple truth is, in an arena with between 150 and 500 people playing together in a finite geographic area the vast majority are going to be otherwise engaged a good portion of the time. It is because of this that good communication and good SA are just as important as good flying and good gunnery in the multi-plane engagements.
If you find yourself getting cherry picked alot that's a good indication you need to work on your SA. I rarely successfully cherry pick anyone with good SA unless I make some sort of fabulous high deflection shot.

We arent talking about people who are "trying to stay alive". I get picked all the time by flying low and basically asking for it, I could care less about losing a plane or flight sim "life". I could care less about score or K/T K/S I just want to find others that like to fight it out. This thread is about those who cheese out with the "staying alive" tactics in a flight sim game. Of course you can stay alive by flying very timid and cherry pickn all the time. You can even get in the top 25 in fighter rank and never fight a plane that you dont have complete superior advantage(alt, E, etc..) All you have to do is cherry pick people who are fighting.............with someone else. I took my spitV up on new map lake furball. Cherry flew for 20 minutes(1 re-arm) landed 13 kills. Only "fought" 2 of the 13 planes who caught me low and slow after swooping in on victim. Whew! I type to much! By the way, this thread was meant to be a light-hearted poke at the folks who fly like that all the time. ITALLGOOD!

You say this but you almost exclusively fly a SpitV, the single best all around TnB type plane in the game. Of course you want to find people who'll fight you 1 vs. 1 you have all the advantages in that area. All you have to do is latch onto someone's tail and stay there until he's dead, knowing you can stay with virtually any manuever. Fly a plane regularly that cannot do that, that does not turn very well or pull E out of its arse then preach about the virtues of you vs. anyone willing to fight engagements regarless of enemy plane type.
I am not saying you are not good, you are, but what defines 'good' isn't necesasrily just the TnB guy that can turn on a dime. Good in my opinion is anyone who can fly his ride to its maximum potential. That is to say fly in a way that accentuates its strengths while minimizing the impact of its weaknesses. Surely, when I am in a TnB ride I think as you do, I want anyone and everyone to attempt to turn with me, I hate those that keep me at arms length, run or attempt to cherry or BnZ me, but what they are really doing is minimizing my strengths while playing to their own strength.
But, the fact remains, just because you seek single engagements and don't care about your score doesn't mean you can't TnB AND maintain good enough SA to avoid cherry pickers, it's not about score it's about being as EFFECTIVE as possible. Not everyone who has a good score/rank in fighters actually cares about it per se, it's just an incidental result of being good. ;)

Zazen [/QUOTE} Zazen, you missing my point, probably because it is vague! :-) Just making light-hearted fun of the hard-core "cherry" heads! This thread was to generate some funny comments about those that get "Dweeby" with playing it "smart" !

Bah, I didn't (past tense :( ) try to steal kills very often. I can shoot accurately from 600 out, however. Many times I'm getting my shot at distance and someone cuts in at 200 either not realizing or not caring that I have a solution already. They start spraying wildly and I still get the shot first from 400 back over their shoulder. Maybe this is the 25k kill steal crap mentioned.
