So I remember asking if there were any P-51 Experten out there a few months back.
Low and behold I ran into BigR today. I was in a 38 for some reason but it didn't matter. He promptly wrecked my plane and gave me a friendly PW to boot then landed ten kills.
I think I will just retire. There is no way I will ever be that good. EVER.

Yep, BigR can make you pay in a 51 and do it quickly. Very refreshing to run in to a non pick and run stang.
-
I'm just glad to see a post bout BigR!
Haven't seen him in-game or on the bbs in good while

Welcome back BigR. Good seeing you playing. :salute
Now we just need a Shane sighting for the LA7 and M00T in the 152 and Grizz in the K4...then the toon world stars will be back in their proper alignment.

Whos the Grizz or M00T of the F4us?

Torque

Torque perhaps back when the C Hog was the prevalent MA plane - take the whines about Spit16 and the LA7 combines, and multiply by about 50, and then you get the C HOg whining back before it was perked. I haven't seen Torque since those days, well over 10 years ago.
Karaya was back in the MA today as well.
BigR is one of the best P51 pilots of the modern day in the MA, without question. TonyJoey taught me some P51 dueling a few years back, and he's incredible in it as well, I'd like to see the 2 of them duel in the Mustang. BigR lands most of the large number kills consistently when he's playing in the MA. Back when the hit bubbles were huge and the damage model much less complex, it was a lot easier to get kills, especially at longer ranges, and there were often double digit kill strings landed. They are much, MUCH more rare now than back in the AH1 days, and like I said, BigR can still pull them off pretty regularly.
Shane wasn't just good in the La7, knowing all its strengths and quirks, but he was an incredible shot. In fact, IMO that was his biggest strength, by FAR - incredible aim with those 3 nose cannons, I'd regularly see him connect with long range 4 to 600 yard crossing shots that many pilots don't even consider to take.
Kappa and Grizz - IMO no better dynamic duo to watch wing in the K4 and become Damage Incorporated in any sector they happen to fly into.

Anyone who can find the deploy flaps lever.

Love to meet people like that, especially those who are doing unorthodox things with unexpected planes. You could take it as an inspiration for what's possible. :banana:

What is it exactly that happened to Grizz? :headscratch:
-
Didnt fishu have a kill streak of over 200 in a 109? Torque was a scourge in the chog.
-
Skyrock was one of the deadliest hog pilots back in the day, unless he got tag teamed by Silat and me in mossies.

Tag teaming in mossies was almost unfair. :)

well I'll be damned! What's going on old friend?

Whos the Grizz or M00T of the F4us?
Torque was among one of the best for sure, but here are some other pretty great hawg sticks
Widewing ( flys as tredlite now I think )
AKDogg
BigRat
SkyRock
Saxman
SirLoin
Dedalos
Heck, a lot of the "VF-17 Jolly Rogers squad", are pretty good....the f4u series is about all they fly
TonyJoey & Badboy are very good in it for the reason they fly/use textbook BFM, regardless of the plane they are in...
Sunsfan, Bruv119, Grizz, Murdr, batfink, Shane all can hold their on as well for the same reason ( same goes for everyone I have listed honestly )
WldThing, wetrat(tartew)....
1 thing most everyone I have listed, have in common, they were hardcore AH KOTH event participants...
The order I listed is random order....sorry if my old mind as overlooked anyone, like I just now remembered humble and urchin and BigMax....

Where the heck is Silat? Haven't seen him in a few years but he's still on the Trainer's roster.
Ran into Betty yesterday. Another player I haven't seen in a blue moon.
-
wish I knew max, one of the most fun to fly with in the game
-
He actually just posted a 'hello' message on the 80th boards, so he might stop back into the game.
-
Agreed. We used to chat by phone back when and he'd have me rolling in stiches.
-
Good morning Max, Mir, batfink,
I noticed Lew was on the messageboards yesterday and sent him a hello....because I hadn't seen him around for awhile...
He replied, and I gave him my new home #, said he will give me a shout soon...was good to see him on the boards...
Cheers,
TC

life is full of these little coincidences where people think of friends just as they turn up

Ran into Shane a couple weeks ago, he was very rusty. :D

He's on sabbatical with Sunbat in career purgatory.

If you are talking about the SHANE that is ingame now, its not the same Shane.

BigR is a good fight.
How much better it is to read this thread about good fights than some others about cartoon egoism :aok
-
You suck Deb, I can pwn you at will in my 500mph fighter blah blah blah
just trying to add some normalcy to this bizarre occurrence :D

This absolutely correct, with no disrespect meant toward SHANE, just 2 different players...

It appears some of the storied players are coming back to get ready for the new release of AH. Rumor has it MUZIK "could be" on the comeback trail as well. Now, as I see it, you just need the players mentioned earlier in this thread plus:
Bighorn, Levi (who's comeback stalled earlier this year), HiTech (snicker), Sunsfan (the perpetual man-on-a-buffalo) and Agent360
-
levi sucks

No Drex sucks, Levi said so once long ago. :noid :devil

This is for "those" ones :neener:

I love arguing with bigr on 200. he's funny as hell :). but I dont like fighting him. same as that bastage of potsnpans. but the one I really hate running into is peppr. hate it when she slaps my buttt then just tells me "better luck next time".

The best F4U pilot I have flown against was Virus but then again I haven't fought very many hog pilots that just made me want to quit.
The flaps in F4U's are insane :eek:
edit : AKDogg and I fought F4U v Ki84. It was a really fun fight and had my adrenaline pumping. I didn't know who it was after the merge because you don't typically get a cold guns merge in the MA, I knew at that moment I was getting a good fight. :banana: It lasted a few minutes before I got him but he is a really good F4U pilot. He likes the -1 a little much. TC is also a good F4U pilot, only fought him once and of course I lost but it was really fun. I was in a K4 I think he was in a CHog, always been scared to fight CHogs because one gun solution and you might as well say you're done and that is just what happened. I was reversing and that little snapshot he had tore me to shreds. Glzzsqd is starting to become a decent F4U stick, he has a lot to learn but in good time he will get there.

Torque
Or Nash - he was very good in a Corsair
-
BigR and TJ are about the only 2 respectable sticks left who fly the 51 on that level.
:x It was good to see BigR wrecking everything he had his eyes on!! :salute :salute
-
well I'll be damned! What's going on old friend?
A wee little old timers thread lurkage - those tend to catch my eye still and it's hard not to have fond memories of popping silly roped fighters in our mossies! Good to see lots of familiar faces still around - hope things are well with you batty!
-
Yeah man, I'm getting my skydive licence in 15 days (it's all I'm going to talk about for the next 15 days), things are going fairly well. Very good to see you about, life treating you good?

Not bad for someone who was KIA.

Potsnpans as well in that Ki

I've been consistently saying as well since the word got out that the new version was getting closer that a lot of old school guys would come out of the woodwork. Many have started sniffing around the forum again, and made more than a few comments about coming back to check out what the new version will bring. I'm hoping that these players as well as some new blood that can easily be outright stolen from the "competition", I use that word loosely, over at WT, that there is real hope to get things back to where they were numbers wise a few years back when the arenas were actually split over large numbers (and other reasons I suppose as well).
A lot of the complaints, legitimate and otherwise, will become less important, their effects not as encroaching on the "fun" factor when there is tons of targets and fights all over the place due to 5 and 600 player nights. This is what I most look forward to, having consistent large numbers and many good fights, missions, whatever floats your boat, to pick from the instant you enter the arena. All the new terrain/graphics/and the like will actually be a welcome secondary bonus for me.
Let's hope the alpha testing goes well, and that open beta will be upon us prior to the xmas holidays this year, it'd be a great present for everyone, and give us something to do other than the yearly watching of "Jaws" and "Star Wars" during the xmas break.

Not gonna lie, this made me feel all warm and fussy inside. thank you for the compliment

TC! Thank you for inviting me in the DA the other day. Same to RTR1, I needed some good hold brainless dogfighting. Only you two provided it, others kept on showing at 20K and runing to their ack .. in the dam DA! :headscratch:

That's awesome - well except for the part of jumping out of the perfectly good airplane. I'm not sure what that's all about. Are you planning on getting shot down a lot in the real world and need the practice? But either way I'm sure it'll be a rush!
I've been busy this summer with work but managed to get my SCCA competition license with an open wheel racing school and I'll probably be doing at least a couple races next year once I can get my racing budget in order.
-
I'm offensive :)
Fixed. :D
When I think F4U I think Skyrock.
109 Sunsfan or Freez
152. Moot all day long
(Edit)just noticed theyre All Muppets :noid

Fixed. :D
ha! perfect. :)

Heya Frenchy, was good fun, as always has been with you, Sir!
Anytime I'm online and not busy, feel welcome to call on me to go scrap it out in the DA with you!
