Hi. I'm a newbie here. I've been lurking on the boards for a while and flying (if ya can call me wobbling about the sky flying) in the MA for about a month.
I dont want to start a "who's the best" discussion......but I've seen a few people around the MA that just stand out (to me anyway) and I wanted to know what kinda reputations these guys have got.
FunkedUp. This guy completely shocked the life outta me when I dove on him with a 10k alt advantage. I was dead in seconds.
NathBDP. Watched this guy completely clean house over A1 last tour.....awesome. But then watched him crow about it all over ch 1. Is this guy very young?
Ripsnort. Havnt seen him fly (not knowningly anyway) but someone was telling me about "Ripsnort's missions". WTF was he on about there?
SwoopGB. Saw this guy only yesterday, he arrived at 10k in a spit V over a low furball south of A45 (12 of us v about 4 knights) and dove straight in. He shot down 8 of us before someone finally got him. I think he ran outta ammo. Wicked.
Mitsu. Saw a kill streak the other day. Victory 38 by Mitsu. WTF?
Citabria. Havnt seen him in the MA (again, not knowingly) but people on the boards seem to hold high opinions.......who's Citabria then?

That's the cream of the crop ... whip those guys and you've got this game licked..
Or do what the rest of us do, once you identify a con as one of them, turn tail and run (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ripsnort flies Knights and is a master and whipping together a mission and attracting enough people to fill them up and make them successful almost everytime. I think Rip does a great job, there are times in the Main Arena where you are weary of seeing your turf slide further and further away from you. Its nice to have someone like Rip get a bunch of people together and organized. If you haven't experienced one of his missions, play Knights for a few evenings and you should get your chance to join in a few of his missions. Its great to fly in a group effort, try it!
Heck, Ripsnort for President in 2004! :P
Take care!

S!
Those pilots mentioned are very mighty opponents.Only 2 times have I downed Mitsu.Both of them he was propably caught off guard.But if 1 v 1,I would be dead in matter of a few moves.And his 38 kill streaks in matter of a short time..He musta been sitting(once again) in the old and trusty Ostwind near a field blasting anything moving around there (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Ripsnort cooks up good missions and ppl like to join them,since they are very well planned and have balanced plane sets.
Swoop is a good pilot.Seen him doing well in almost everything he flies or drives. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Nath..Oh well.He's a colourful addition to this community.Doesn't lack self esteem (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)Skillfull pilot anyway.And also verbal attacker (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I have no particular pilot I would put above any other,but I admire those pilots who fly the so called harder planes to master(109,190A5/A8,P47,P38 etc.)with passion and skill.13th TAS gets my <S> for skillful P51 piloting.Those endless hordes of Niki drivers I have no respect for,or they won't get anything but <F> from me. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)This is not personal disrespect against the pilots,but the plane they fly.Pretty frustrating to have a good dogfight going on and then some Niki's(cloaked UFO?) show up and that's it...
In general the crowd in the MA is very friendly and has cool dudes that give helluva good time there.My 2 cents.

You got a problem with that?
There are lots of different planes in Rip's missions and I usually took Tiffie. Maybe you should come to see what kind of planes there are and after that continue what ever you were doing.

Heres my take on these fellow office chair wonders:
FunkedUp
====
Darned good driver but a little cocky in a semi-pretentious way. I think he secretly admires nathbdp and has a guilty complex about it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
NathBDP
====
Excellent 109 driver but admiration evaporates real fast if you dont quickly squelch him. Kinda too bad really.
Ripsnort
====
Fellow Boeing employee and all around nice guy. Only drawback is his blood lust for that damnedable Chog excuse of an abomination.
SwoopGB
====
Honesty never caught my eye. Decent guy I think.
Mitsu
====
Killer Pony driver and decent guy. Fun to fight with.
Citabria
====
For all the work this guy has done filling the kill buffer in his 38, Ive never been around him much while he was online. He waxed me once pretty good. I remember that.
Bottom line is these guys are all good, bad and ugly but they are just a minor sampling of what you will find if you spend GOBs of time online 24x7.

I'm not cocky, you are all just inferior!

My opinion of Funked. (http://home.flash.net/~collis/images/tuco2.wav)

You guys just wait!!! Now that I finaly have my 8 month joystick problem fixed I am learning to shoot again!!! In a couple of months I will again be the scurge of the AH skies!!!!

NathBDP: Excellent 109 driver but admiration evaporates real fast if you dont quickly squelch him. Kinda too bad really
You got to have some semblence of a personality though, IMO, to have a reputation. Otherwise you're just a deadly drone.
Ahem <cough>.

Fatty: Respectable and chivalrious Luftwaffe pilot who will refuse to engage a handicapped pilot.
SOB: A honorable ace who has been seen even protecting enemy chutes from friendly planes trying to strafe them, even getting his own plane in the way, risking his own life... <sSs> SOB!
Gordo: A courageous front line fighter who is always there fighting and fighting till the end. Everytime I log in he's there making missions and doing his best to make his country win.
Animal: The cream of the crop. A poetic crusader who will dive head first into danger for the good of his teammates; his courage and skill are matched by few in the world and probably the milky way. He is also considered Aces High's sex symbol.
Creamo: A gentleman and knight of pure heart. His compassion in the field of battle can bring tears to the eyes of even his enemies. He has been seen even bailing out to help enemy pilots who crashed on the ocean and helped them escape from their wrecked planes. He refuses to fly the best planes in the game and chooses instead to handicap himself with planes with small caliber guns, just to make enough damage to his enemies to make them bail out and live to see their families.

As for legends I might add Fishu & Hristo - the most deadly LW combo AH has seen to date.

Lotsa good names here.
First I thought Hristo was -ik- of WB, but it turned out he was Nassko.Great pilot anyway !
Now I wonder if Nath is ik ?
I recall, ik was a young student (too?).
Nath is 20 or something like that ?
Anyone heard anything of ik ?
Drex is excellent too! Wasn't he =Drex=, WB trainer ?
sekiji is one great guy, S! I think he's from Japan.It seems Japan has lot's of great people out there (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
StSanta is great guy too ! It's nice to read he's posts here and online (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, Drex is the same Drex as from WB. A great stick and a great guy.

Pongo, I have not done a C-Hog mission since the last thursday in Febuary (MAG-33 Mission), most of my missions I'm using the V1.06 planeset mission I have set up, only 2 hogs are in that mission, for VH and GV's, so your perception is far short of the truth.
-
funked up is just an aging giggilo and drex does not exist, he is a boogey man used to frighten small children and provide excuses for the incompetent.... "sure I got shot down by a Ju88 but it was drex!" Pitifull really..

Hmm... try excellent <everything> driver. <G>
And westy... ahh forget it, I've grown tired of your slamming of me--are you jelous or something? Seems like wherever you get the chance you start bashing/flaming whatever you wan't to call it. I've seen people in real life, degenerates, who act exactly the same way you do and the common reason is jelousy. I'm wondering...

Got your email NathBDP. I deleted it as not worthy of a response. And actually it didn't appear you wanted a response. But with this post and the one in the OC forum well,,, you must crave attention so here it is....
Contrary to what you may think at this point in your life the world does not revolve around you. Most of us realised that by the age of 8 but someone how you missed that cognitive step. Perhaps you're a spoiled brat type?
Anyway, rest assured my participation on these boards does not revolve around you nor do I chase after your posts trying to put you down. You actually do more damage to your own reputation/image when you post than anyone could possibly. I reply to asinine remarks and stupid people equally here. Trust me I have no favorites. Just ask EYE. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
You have a self indulging "pariah" complex which combined with a lack of social tact and absence of forethought when posting here, or commenting online, you just bring it on yourself. Always have.

My dog ate a mouse last night. Then promply threw up 30 min. later. Turns out that if you're not used to eating something, your body rejects it.

Maybe cuz he didn't chew it and it was still alive running around his stomach and eating his scoobie snacks? One time I had a hamster that I owned in a cage.. black bear something err other kind of hamster. It was a funny looking little creature. Me and my friends use to get it high with MJ. Then we'd let it run around the house being chased by my cat, which was also high, and they'd never catch each other.
It was cool. (http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/realhappy/anihappy.gif)

Blah Westy, don't deny it, you have an affection for me, albeit you worship my skills as a pilot in AH or my stunning good looks... <G> Prolly both.
Funny how in other threads when you start your toejam with me then I promptly put it back in your face you then just disapear from the thread not to be heard from again. Typical little message board jockey.
There is no other reason why you would constantly remark on things I say and when others say practically the exact same thing you don't even comment.
As far is this is concerned:
"You actually do more damage to your own reputation/image when you post than anyone could possibly."
It's funny, you seem to be the only person that thinks this. Or cares.
And this:
"I reply to assinine remarks and stupid people equally here."
Again with the name calling crap. How mature.
"Superiority complex" sound familar?
You have a self indulging "parhia" complex which combined with a lack of social tact and absence of forethought when posting here, or commenting online, you just bring it on yourself.
Actually, I'd say its more of a giant ego combined with not taking toejam from anyone.
As far as EYE is concered, I laughed my bellybutton off when I read your replies to him. Figures, all you can do is post on this bbs that's an extension of a game--yet you can't back up what you say there so you're just a typical message board jockey. I have seen the likes of you in many an online game. You are not even worth my time, gnat--it's just fun to poke away at you and see how hard you can try to piss me off. It's not working son.

Did you know that the strongest muscle in humans entire body is the tongue! Its true!
Do you know that a flea can jump 300 times the distance of its own body? That's the equivelent of you jumping the length of a football field!
Did you know that elephants don't jump?

Did you know it takes 200something odd muscles to frown but it takes only 2 muscles to extend your middle finger? (http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/mfinger/finger.gif)
Of course in the event you piss off the other person, it takes 100 muscles to say "Ouch" and another 50 to knock his lights out. In the end, you exert more energy and generally feel better about yourself by releasing all your anger. (http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/realhappy/a_smil08.gif)

These guys are good, but Drex is the best virtual pilot I've ever flown with or against. The guy is awesome.

I hate to break it to you guys, but Drex is really a highly advanced AI bot. DweebRulingEXtraordinare, being tested by the USN in AH.
An earlier model of this AI, a prototype in fact, was stolen by the chinese along with those nuclear secrets when Monica was servicing the presidential staff. The chinese have tested it in the past few days, resulting in a failed HO attempt by one of their experimental planes.
More news at 10...

You don't have to be a "top gun" to have a good reputation....heck, some of the finest AH pilots are goon drivers.
Sunchaser is just one of many that comes to mind first.

aye!

knobface thanks for the kind words. I just don't take compliments too well. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
PS Vila my money is still on Garn. Drex is right there though. They both give me nightmares.
PPS You are pretty good too. One of my highlights in WB was knocking down you and Garn on the same hop. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
PPPS Mitsu is the closest thing to Garn here. There are probably better "hunters" but with guys like Garn and Mitsu, no altitude advantage guarantees safety. You have to be very careful.

I really do not care who's better or worse pilot. It only takes time. What I look for is a nice guy to spend time. In my book, here is where reputations count.
In this particular field, we are, save for some exceptions, an awsome bunch of people. I even enjoy ch1.
Just a few names that comes to mind...Zigrat (always ready to work as mission planner, as well as a hell of a pilot), Asmodan (really nice guy, and another fine stick), straffo (I only crossed with him a couple of times, but was enough), StSanta (as far from dweebery as anyone can be), Nexx (Great Guy, never saw anyone as good as him in panzer), ammo (I still remember Afrika Korps times, really sad cause 101 squad missed the bus in Hostile Shores (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif))...Really a LOT of great people out there.
These are the characters I seek in this game. I dont give a rat's youknowwhat if they have a kill streak of this or that, or if they master that or this plane. If my life were at risk, I would put more factor into account, but this is my passtime, and I want my time spent as good as possible. And these guys are masters at it. <S> to all, and the bunch of the others I don't put their names.
Now you will just stop shooting at me, right? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
