Mitsu and Citabria are the two that I've had the most dificulty with. Citabria is no longer playing Aces High.
The one time I encountered NathBDP he seemed really good as well.

Depends on the plane, my list would be:
P51: Hangtime
P47: Frenchy
P38L: Citabria
Spit: Mitsu
Hellcat: no idea
Chog: Nash fights very well in this plane. Torque is much more deadly, tho, a true marksman with the lasers (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
Dhog: Duckwing
Fw190A8: Hristo
Fw190A5: Stsanta
Me109G10: Hristo
Me109G6: buff...aper or Supongo.
Me109G2: Camo
Me109F4: No idea (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Typhoon: Duma or Funked.
C205: Gatt, VISCONTI was pretty good too.
C202: Citabria (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
La5FN: Gie or Leonid. Snefens is pretty good too.
Yak9U: Leonid or Gie (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Zero: No Idea (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
N1K2j: EVERYONE (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif). no, seriously, there is a guy in a japanese squad wich I hated to fly against...drz or something like that.
Then there are the all-plane-terrors; Citabria, Mitsu.....those will take ANY plane and beat your prettythang easily.

Even if i told you, you'd never know if it was them untill it was too late.
You'll work out who is a handfull sooner or later.

There are a few that suprise you not flying by the book, those that do are generally easier to get into a draw at worst, P51 drivers tend to seperate themselves from the pack most with this, and some 109 drivers (Hblair comes to mind). Aper has torn me up a few times this way committing to turn with me in his P51 when others would have broken off to extend, and Dingy wiped me up the other day when I figured I could just drag him low and get him to run off.
-
DMF.
-
hmm
aper
gie
nathbdp
rwy
frenchy

Every time one of these threads comes up, my name usually gets mentioned. I really appreciate that, but there are other pilots who don't often get mentioned, who are at least as good or better than me. Two that I can think of off the top of my head are regurge and calamari. These guys are the most underated pilots I can think of. I'm glad 'gurge is my squad! And calamari, well, somebody get him off my 6! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
I agree hb...
Both Regurge and calimari can judge E state and hold and hide E state well. Me and Regurge have had some great fights.
When i know Calimari is on, ill go looking for his Typhoon, not to hunt him down, but to engage and learn. He does a flip flop thingy with Tiffy and im trying to learn this. It hides his E state very well, have been fooled a few times when his plane hits the airbrakes and is standing on its tail, i zoom by and look back.. sure enough he is holding 450 off my 6. Im an old dog lookin to learn new tricks (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Both good pilots and love to engage them as often as possable.
Dog out.....
-
I've learned to fear Lephturn in the P47. He's awesome.
-
As for deadliest opponents, almost anyone in my case.
The thing that seperates people most in my opinion is the quality of the persona online.
There are some wonderful, fun and respectable people who arent particularily good but are a ton of fun to fly with. Then there are the folks that are genuinely deady but arent worth a toejam as online personas.
I would say that with NO EXCEPTION, everyone in 13TAS is both deadly and hell fun to fly with.

In a 1V1?
Well most the best pilots are on the Bishops that I can tell (Wardog, Mitsu, Nash,Skernsk(lol)Thunder, and a bunch more.
The other pilots I find really excellent from the Rooks or Knits fly smartly in packs of 3 or more so Im not so sure about 1V1.
When he played MA, I never ever, ever, shot down DMF but always got kilt by the Spit he was in.
-
Tons of guys... tons... listed here and not.. Too many to mention.
But yeah, I've got experience fightin' with DMF ([deleted handle out of respect] in AH) pure 1v1 in the TA etc. ... and he's a killer. WD I know exactly the move yer talkin' about. DMF is good people... I'm sure he'd have no compuction about explaining it to ya in the TA if you asked.
Again, I have a tremendous amount of respect for all the people listed here, and for a whole load of people not listed.
-
If I had to put my 2Cts:
On the ones that I recall and I judge dangerous(don't offend if I miss names pls).
Regurge, Ra, Mitsu(same side), Sancho(same side), Ammo (same side), Nath, Milenko, KBman, Tac, Cit, Hblair (maybe rarely went 1V1), Zigrat, Santa.
As for any AK, I can't tell as they always travel as a group hehehe.
After there are the ones I love to fight with, I should say against.
Finally, there are the ones I rarely dogfighted, famous or not.
One sure thing is that I respect any opponent, even the worst dweeb can have a good day, of the best Ace have a bad one. When I shoot down someone I don't think that I'm better than him, I just judge if the fight was fun.

There's too many great pilots out there; I know I'll remember 10 or so more that deserve to be mentioned once I finish this post. But as for the ones that I can remember right off the top of my head....
Cit did some amazing things with the p38.
Nash has schooled me in the art of E fighting several times.
I'm always very wary of p47s when Frenchy is online, ditto for Bessy.
I've enjoyed watching Leonid go to work in the LA5.
Mitsu has been a terror in several planes for a long time.
I learn a lot about ACM every time Wardog shoots me down.
These are all recurring names, I know. Unfortunately, I have relatively little 1v1 experience and can't immediately recall many other pilots. These are just the guys that ALWAYS get me. (except for Leonid, who I am glad is on my side)
-
best in anything.... no contest at all. it is drex. Has been for as long as i can recall.

Thanks Sandman. <S>
Honestly, I'm not in the same league as most of the others on this list. I'm not as good a natural stick as most of those guys, however, experience (read age) and treachery count for a lot in air combat. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Anybody remember Garner from WB? He flew AH in beta... shudder. That man could fly an F6F-5 like nobody I ever saw. I still remember the day I actually beat him 38 vs. 38 in a knock-down drag out 10 minute fight in WB, and that was a lucky snap-shot after I survived his snapshot. Dueling with my squad-mates is always a challenge, most of the Pigs are legendary in their skills. Fighting Worr is like playing Chess in the air, he's always thinking 3 moves ahead.
You will notice that the top guys don't tend to run into each other very much. I don't really have a nemesis per se, mostly because I don't run into the same guy very often. The more experienced hunters will naturally avoid each other. Even if we do engage each other, we'll tend to disengage once the advantage is lost if possible. The top hunters will mostly focus on the easier prey, simply because the more skilled adversary will avoid engaging at a disadvantage. It's really interesting, I can normally id the really dangerous fellows in a furball simply based on their positioning and target selection.
Now, sometimes we go looking for each other. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I look for enemy Jugs, just because it's really nice to have a more even fight, and I love to see what moves other Jug pilots will throw at me. I think I learn more from fighting other Jug drivers like Ammo than any other fights I get into. I never do seem to find Frenchy, though I've tangled with Sancho a few times. Lately Ammo has sucked me into doing a few stupid moves and taught me a few things. <S> Ammo!
Who is the most dangerous pilot? The guy that's higher than me! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
