The best stick IN GAME right now in my opinion is kappa. That guy was owning everything within 4 sectors of him last night. I had the honor to ride along with him. His over shoot was flawless. His ACMs are at the top of their game. Everyone he was killing had all the advantages. :salute Kap, damn nice flying last night
-
Grizz will be pleased. This will give his ankle fur a chance to grow back.
-
I disagree, what was coming out of me last night would kill anything within 5 sectors

Never fought Kappa so I can't say his skill level see if he'll join us at the 1v1 field tonight. I'll be bait :D

:rolleyes: i've got more kills in a C47 AND M3 then Kappa. I bet he ain't got a clue about M3 wing loading. :rolleyes:

Does anyone have any films of Kappa clearing out the sectors? I really want to see how he does it.

Phanta... His A2A KDR ratio in the N1K2-J for this tour is around 14/1 and he's not even trying. Getting those sort of KDR's in a plane which tops out around 325MPH @ SL is sick.
P.S: I might have been flying under his name this tour. :noid
-
Saw Phanta land 18 in his niki last night. Who is that masked man?
-
I happened to be around for a few of those hops at A22 and witnessed some of the action up close. Unreal since we were pretty much 5k or less all the time. No question you've got some advantage vs any one con upping but given the ack & numbers you always end up outnumbered with a few high cons that flew out a bit and reversed. I've got a clip I need to send to kazza that I might throw up just as a fun (I was there) thing. A couple of times he had 3 different cons falling at once, no clue how anyone shoots that well :banana: :airplane: :joystick: :banana: :x :aok
-
Where did that "favourite wingman" thread go? I got to put Humble's name down because he's straight up the best bait I've ever flown with. He just sets them up perfectly every single time for me to blow out of the sky! You also got a really good shot yourself! Post the film!
I did a 19 and 20 kill run back to back because of the above.

They guys you've mentioned are excellent to fight against because they always make you fly at your best, regardless if you win or not. It's those fights that have kept me coming back for more.

Rank does not equate to talent. That is, unless you consider knowing how to manipulate scoring to better your rank. The ranking system only shows who knows how to game the game best.
With that being said, yes SHawky is good. However, there are more than one AH players that have ranks of 1000+ who can slice and dice him and the other rank mongers in a 1v1 duel.
-
Gota give SHawk credit where it is due.
It ain't easy getting #1 in all 3 categories.
Good job sir.
-
Hey, I was #1 in fighter score points last tour. After all, quantity has a quality all its own!
Nobody agrees? Nobody cares?
Thought so... :(
;)
-
No...I was #1 in fighter score last tour. I called HT and had them nerf my score because I was not ready for the fame and fortune.
Everyone knows im the best stick anyway so what does score matter. I fig it would be better to let another less fortunate player get the glory.

I still dunno how to bomb small targets like hanger=/ I can carpet bomb a big factory and hopin 1 bomb would hit though! how do you do it 999000!
-
Going by individual planes is a tough call...but for overall(any plane in the set fighter/attack) I'd have to say it is pretty hard to beat Bruv and Grizz
-

I've won 2 4v1's before 1 time brewster v.s. 4 zeros and the other 109f4 v.s. a variety of aircraft - How it's a 1 out 100 chance you get lucky sometimes - no ones unbeatable but there is some awesome sticks in the game for sure :cheers:
-

-BigBOBCH
there are many that can do that, Grizz aint the only one, Hell I have killed 7 out of 15 trying to kill me and still made it home.
Don't get me wrong Grizz is one of the hardest fight's I have ever had 1vs1, probably one of the best shot's in game. he kills me more then I kill him, BUT he is kill-able like every one else, heck I killed him and Kappa in a 2vs1 they in 109's me in hurri2C, does that make me "better" then both of them?? not hardly, but it confirms my point below.
when you get to a certain level it's really who screws up first, or who gives up the first shot opportunity, or who is in there plane of choice, or who had the better position at beginning of engagement, or who saw who first, and has the SA to put them selves in a better position, once you know ACM, learn to Aim properly, learn the workings of each aircraft, learn to merge,gain good SA, Taken on 3 to 4 nme cons is not all that extreme.
I feel the most important part of Grizz's killing ability, and any one else that seems to be insanely good,is targeting, and the ability to hit when the opportunity arises.
That is the most important part of "dog-fighting"
I guarantee that all the greatest sticks who have been here, any combat flight sim, and the real world, were all Great shots.
A ww2 ace said "The better shot will always kill the better stick." not sure who said it :headscratch:

It's really hard to pick the best stick in the game.I had the pleasure to fly with kappa in the 475th when it when it was at it's peek.and at that time in my opinion the best squad in the game at that time.Most fly for the Muppets now to give you an idea how good the squad was.Grizz is really a good one,but kappa is my choice.That being said,there are a lot of really good sticks in this game,and it's a tough call for the absolute best one.

I agree, he gets no love, but he is better than I in all facets of the game. Well, not everything, I can shoot a better tater, but that's it! I'm lucky to have such a good wingman.

Ok Grizz, this has been puzzling me forever. What is that one thing..or combination of things for that matter, that you feel sets the top tier players apart from everyone else? Is it constant dueling or is it just a lot of time in one plane? What do folks have to do to get to the level of a kappa,del,bighorn,lute, and yourself? :headscratch:

Imo, the biggest thing is having target in your crosshairs for half a second, being able to put out 1 small burst and ALWAYS hit. Those guys always do it every time, the rest of us...not so much. When I 'm dragged into fighting a K4 (jug N fairs poorly against them, esp with me at controls) and I hear taters being squeezed off 1 at a time, I know I'm screwed

Must you guys fight with one another like grade schoolers in every thread posted on these boards?

One thing I have noticed that many of the "top" sticks do different from most players is the type of Pursuit they use.
The vast majority of players fly Lead Pursuit.
(one reason we have so many headons btw)
Many, if not most, of the "top" sticks fly in Lag Pursuit on the merge. Once they have position they switch to Pure Pursuit and only switch to Lead Pursuit when it is time to shoot.
They fly for position as opposed to a gun solution. They know the gun solution will come. When they merge they are setting themselves up for a gun solution later in the fight. It could be one move, it could be 10, but they are planning for it. A key there is to be able to adapt your moves depending on what your opponent does. Almost every fight is different so you have to be able to adapt.
Some of the great sticks had a move, or a series of 1-3 moves that would almost always give them a shot. ManeTMP comes to mind. Mane had a set couple moves that were really effective and he had great aim and rarely missed.
I know I spent hours and hours watching some of the great masters of the game fly and fight in King of the Hill tourneys over the past 9 ish years. I spent countless hours watching films of their fights and many more countless hours wagging my hands about the air trying to figure out just what they did and how.
Then it was even more hours practicing what I had learned and countless deaths trying it out in the Arenas until it "clicked".
(edit: I would add that in AirWarrior I was taught by some fantastic pilots in the WidowMakers who really knew their stuff so I had some really good teachers when I was first learning to fly)
-
That seems like a rather generic answer to me.
I got to go to work I'll explain what I mean tonight. Lute makes a good point about lag, pure, and lead pursuit - you almost always see your opponent go for lead when there increasing their own angle of attack which is one of my generic angles post :)

Best stick in the game is the common shrub.
It can stop dead in its tracks and/or flip completely upside down a 68 tonn Tiger tank just by bumping into it and obliterate any low fling aircraft without so much as loosing a leaf.
It has a kill death ratio of 10,000/0

I have a very fond memory of kappa and myself fighting back in the FR arena of Air Warrior......
Kappa was in a P51D and I was in an F6f-3...... I was not sure whether kappa had run out of ammo or was low on fuel.. but in our fight he went to land and he rolled into a Hangar and was sitting there.... I was just barely able to see the nose of his plane... I kept trying to shoot him and all he would do is just "LOL" over the text buffer.... his "LOL" taunt just made me all the more determined to nail him hiding in the hangar... until I finally crashed or think I actually auger-ed right into the side of the Hangar.. this was like 11 or 12 years ago, but I remember it like it happened last night....
over the years we have had some "Palm sweating" fights even here in Aces High, the last memorable encounter was several years ago. kappa was in his P38 and I was in my F4U..... we went at it 3 or 4 different times and think we broke about even in that encounter.... either 3 to 1 or 2 to 2 whatever, it doesn't really matter who won or lost to me.... I remember him hanging on those props trying to get me to stall out under him for the easy kill.. sometimes I would take the bait and fail other times I faked my E state and reversed the outcome....
always was a pleasure to go up against Kappa......

One thing I have noticed that many of the "top" sticks do different from most players is the type of Pursuit they use.
The vast majority of players fly Lead Pursuit.
(one reason we have so many headons btw)
Many, if not most, of the "top" sticks fly in Lag Pursuit on the merge. Once they have position they switch to Pure Pursuit and only switch to Lead Pursuit when it is time to shoot.
They fly for position as opposed to a gun solution. They know the gun solution will come. When they merge they are setting themselves up for a gun solution later in the fight. It could be one move, it could be 10, but they are planning for it. A key there is to be able to adapt your moves depending on what your opponent does. Almost every fight is different so you have to be able to adapt.
Some of the great sticks had a move, or a series of 1-3 moves that would almost always give them a shot. ManeTMP comes to mind. Mane had a set couple moves that were really effective and he had great aim and rarely missed.
I know I spent hours and hours watching some of the great masters of the game fly and fight in King of the Hill tourneys over the past 9 ish years. I spent countless hours watching films of their fights and many more countless hours wagging my hands about the air trying to figure out just what they did and how.
Then it was even more hours practicing what I had learned and countless deaths trying it out in the Arenas until it "clicked".
(edit: I would add that in AirWarrior I was taught by some fantastic pilots in the WidowMakers who really knew their stuff so I had some really good teachers when I was first learning to fly)
Lol, it sure sounds easy when you put it that way. :headscratch:

Must you guys fight with one another like grade schoolers in every thread posted on these boards?
Its all good. They're making me look like nostradamus. Its very sad people are so predictable.

I really should do some more reading on ACMs, because I don't know the different between lag and lead pursuit. I'm sure I've done both in the past at one time or another, but didn't know it :lol
I reckon I need to break down and buy me some Robert Shaw huh.... :uhoh

lead is pulling for a shot so your aiming to get your nose pointing infront of the guy.
lag is keeping your nose behind the con and waiting for a better opportunity. your still turning with him. I find this most useful when your countering some aggressive overshoot moves.

and pure pursuit is having the nose of your plane directly on your opponent :aok ( lol, just couldn't resist Bruv )

Hey man, how's life in crazy town? Are we in a "dark place" today or do your meds levels gotcha skipping right along?

That seems like a rather generic answer to me.
Other's have described lag, pure, and lead pursuit. There's one more that I'm not sure what you would call it so we'll call it future lead pursuit.
future lead pursuit
Flying where your opponent will be 5 to 10 sec down the road giving you a great snap shot. You intuition willl tell you where you need to fly to get that 150yrd to 200 yrd shot. Flying the k4 I try to get that 100 yrd snapshot through future lead pursuit. This key I believe separates the great sticks from the average. All "angles" like playing chess as someone described.
Alot of good information i this thread and if people would follow some of the acms tips in this thread we'd have some great fights in the future.
