Title: Top Pilots?
Post by: apcampbell on August 26, 2008, 09:29:47 AM
Just out of curiosity, who do you guys think are the top FSO pilots? I'm not referring specifically to the FSO logs, but a combination of skill, reputation, and the logs. I honestly think you can put 75% plus of JG11 in this catagory.....

Hehehe it's not what you think....our squad actually is debating an award for shooting any of you guys down during an FSO....... :D Blame TheBug! Although he's 353rd Alumni (and family to us), We know his skills very well and he has given us a benchmark to shoot for (Pun intended). On top of that, there's great respect for many of your pilot's skills.

Other squads shouldn't feel left out though....Kermit made the list as well as a few other top pilots in some other squads. Although the 353rd has some good pilots and rising stars in it, it's a good thing to set goals and benchmarks for improvement. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to get some of you in our gunsights for this upcoming FSO.   :salute

The hate it's so strong. I think JG-11 only fly for LW there VWE, what is this "P-40 + spitty v. your c.202" you're talking about?

Don't correct me, they know who they are and yes it was 2 JG11 peelots in non-axis aircraft.

Possibly because we were playing against the odds. Axis had allies vastly outnumbered so a number of JG11 switched to allies to keep it fair. Please refrain from bashing any part of JG11 when you have no knowledge of the situation.

hehehe Hijacked again!  :O Ever notice than when anyone posts something on a positive note, someone always has to turn it negative? Anyways, If I see you guys on, I'll make sure to try and pick up some pointers and maybe even duel y'all. There's always something new to learn

The Muppets seem to always be on top of the 'most kills/squad' area of the logs :) Though I can't say I've ever flown against them, as it seems both JG11 and Muppets are almost always on the same side. :)
Other than that, I seem to remember a couple times when the AK's really put a hurting on us.

Just out of curiosity, who do you guys think are the top FSO pilots? I'm not referring specifically to the FSO logs, but a combination of skill, reputation, and the logs. I honestly think you can put 75% plus of JG11 in this catagory.....
Thanks, that's a big compliment! <S>

Picking in a 202 now that is rich! :rofl  I maintained my e taking on what started as a 3 on 1 but only you and Von kept engaged in the fight. I've never seen any JG11 attempt a 3 or even 2 on 1, if its not a gang bang in your favor you'll keep flying till you find it.

I'm confident the general community (excluding newbies) can see through the facade that some certain people like to vividly paint up about themselves, not to mention all the discrediting and name calling going on.

I think there are other squads that deserve to be recognized too, but thanks for mentioning us we do put a lot of work into making FSOs a great experience for everyone.

Noir, I do fly FSO at 5 am, it's a pita mostly but TONS OF FUN and sometimes I do score well despite the time of day.

FSO is a blast I don`t care what squad you are in! If you are a friend of a Muppet and wish to come fly with us for a night in the FSO let us Know. Love to have their with us :aok(http://img139.exs.cx/img139/7553/sim51ah.gif)

There are many top pilots but how would you categorize them

#5 Some can fly only one plane well..boring  :frown:

#4 Some fly 2 or three on occasion but fly them only one way.. B&Z for instance

#3 Some pilots only fly the fastest and try never to be caught alone or without an escape route  :noid

#2 Some fly many of the of planes  available to us(B&Z,T&b, twin eng bomber/ attack Planes) and can fly each of them in their long list well against most any plane.

#1 Then we have the very few who have mastered them all to some extent.

IMO, They are the true "Top pilots"  :aok 

I suppose Lusche would be one of the few true top pilots AH has.

Misread the reason for the topic as I skimmed quickly through the posts.

Abruptly missed that it was about FSO and not the main  :rolleyes:  but there it is.

Sorry to intrude.

No worries tool, I think you described a good pilot in any regards, not just solely MA or FSO. <S> A8's.
