Title: Snailman
Post by: Zoney on August 10, 2011, 11:25:46 AM
 :O Just checked your stats dude, nice K/D man, 37/1, and its actually 37 kills, ZERO deaths.  I'm torn between saying "wohoo WTG homey!", or hunting you down and killing you.  :devil

 :salute

My groundcrew is bust loading salt in my 20MM cannons as we speak.

Can you say "shrinkage" ?

If im right, he was bomber-hunting a lot. He must have some magnetic shield...  ;) bombers always killed me quicker than the fighters.
Keep going.

This.

It's almost a prime example of how much impact flying style has on score.
Take a look at what I was flying and what I did kill. Almost all kills in fighter mode were the result of climbing to 15k and simply diving on 10k (or lower) bombers in 190D, then extending from the escorts (if any). That's all.  :airplane:
My K/D won't stay that high, it would have been much lower already if I had time to fly as much as I used to, only 10 fighter sorties so far.

I should be 42 kills and zero deaths, but puffy ack decided it doesn't like 262's doing 600, I will stick to 21 for now :)

Slimey is probably the hardest player to hit from buffs.  He has perfected the slashing attacks.  I consider myself an above average buff gunner and I can barely land lead on him.  I cringe whenever I see German iron setting up at the high 4 or 8 oclock figuring its him.

It generally isnt a good thing running into him no matter what you, or he, are currently flying.

I have been sending HTC ideas for bomber mounting salt chaff dispensers to combat the snail infestation. :noid

Don't kid yourself people,

Snailman may downplay his skills, but the snail is a very good stick.

Jets have "jet wash"...the snail has "snail trail". Both can render your aircraft controls immobile.  And yes Slimey is an excellent stick and a garden nuisance. :neener:

one occasion that I tried to make a milkrun, I get jumped on egress by a single 109(don't remember which). Sure enough it was the snail. Where he upped from I couldn't tell you. No dar bar for a sector in any direction, all of a sudden there he is. I managed to hit him, but he still got 2 of mine. I  :salute the snail... he's a great  :airplane:

30 kills, zero deaths for me in Attack mode.. Only 10/1 in fighter mode... I'm usually right in the middle of the scrum.. Situational awareness is the key. The only thing that surprised me was fester posting his mug picture on the BBS.

I can personally attest to Snailman's/Lusche's style and tactics. He is very patient. Most importantly, he is a good sport about it. <SALUTE>

Yup, exactly. Never seen him running from an even fight, but a very tactitican man. <S>

I am inclined to agree with Thndregg & Becinhu, Snailmans skills and patience are to be respected, in a recent encounter I was fortunate to give him a fuel leak after losing one bomber causing Snail to have to RTB to save his kill, a few nights later I lost a flight of three against him with negligible damage to his A/C.

You may not have seen it, but occasionally I do.

I didn't RTB to save my kill, because you don't lose any when you die ;) I RTB to save my miserable cartoon life, which I do value very much no matter how many (or few) kills I have.  :uhoh


But anyway, my kill streak is over for this tour, PW killed me on touchdown.. Can fly more relaxed now  :rock  :airplane:

Sorry snail, I should have wiped the seat down before letting you fly my airplane. I forgot how much I sweat and what all that salt does to you.. sorry bro
