Title: Which player or squad is your best rival?
Post by: BFOOT1 on February 03, 2016, 08:56:25 AM
My player rival is without a doubt Ditto from the famed JG11. Ditto and I go back to 2012 during the Der Grosse Schlag II Scenario over Germany. I believe it was frame two when I had ditto lined up and poured burst after burst into his aircraft. He fought for what seemed like an eternity with Ditto himself putting rounds into my ship as well. Fuel and damage became an issue for both as he broke off to the closet German airfield. I gave chase for a little while until I saw some of his friends circling their airfield. It was then I hit the deck and weaved along the treetops back to England. We scrapped up again in the scenario, but it was interrupted by our squadron mates and we had to break off.

We scrapped again in the BoB scenario where I collided with his wingman  :bhead

We have fought several times against one another in FSO with G3MF going toe to toe with JG11. Those fights are always a blast, because JG11 is a very disciplined fighter unit and knows what they're doing. We have clashed with JG11 on numerous occasions and the outcome is usually the same, we bag a few, they a bag a few, and then we go home. Sadly Ditto and I have shot the hell out of one another, but we just simply refuse to die!

Hopefully in the near future Ditto will get more chances to fight it out.  :salute to Ditto and a  :salute to JG11 for being my top rivals in the game. Thank you guys for the rivalry, but also the friendly banter that goes with it  :cheers:

A longgggg time ago me and krupnski used to be rivals...

Now I don't really have an rivals... I for the most part kill who I want when I go out there  :devil

But I will say 2cmex has made leaps of improvements in the last year, he has became a good fight that's for sure.

Shane was the guy who convinced me to start trying. I wasn't much of a challenge for him, but he was the guy I kept losing to and wanted to learn how to beat.

My rivals are many... they are a lower class than the ones named to this point. TREES.... I have never in all my years here, full of margarita's or not , found a way to defeat any in that squad they call Forrest.

I was told they all start out as bush pilots.

  Shuff,you forgot the second wing,the ground!!

 I'm pretty sure I'm about 0 vs 1,000,000 when it comes to beating that ground squad!  Their top flyer/pilot is some guy named Gravity!

     Recently the morning Bish have been double our (Rook) numbers.  I would say the Joker and Friends crew have been a fun and almost unstoppable force.  When I log in I look for the big red Bish blob and dive in.
     One on One?  I would agree with most of the obvious names I've seen, and some who have responded above.  Lazer, Pawz, Bustr, Junky, Bruv, Weiser in that fricken spit, and countless others who push it every fight, the ones who make you weary of a certain plane type. Salute!

I dont really have a favorite or a rivalry, use to be the 242 sloppies but they dont come around anymore. but if i was to name 1 pilot who i would like to blast out of the sky (but i never will) it would have to be my teacher Morfiend.

Plinko is a good fight...been running into him more often now. Good K4 stick for sure.

And with regards to Shane...maybe I only saw him on returns when he wasn't up to his glory days but he wasn't hard to kill....good fight but in the end...LA7 does make a pilot a better stick.

Eh Shane could fly them all. I'll never forget climbing towards these 4 dots which became 3 friendlies and 1 P47. As I got to about 5k I saw one friendly explode ... Then the next... And the next... And very soon my G2 was shot to pieces and I was on my way to the tower as well.

I mean you know as well as anyone that it's an any given Sunday kind of deal, but Shane was definitely a guy who would win most one week.

I'll never forget a pilot I encountered only on a handful of occasions. His callsign was Yoda I believe. This particular fight happened years ago but, I was flying a P-51D and I merged with this 109K4 at 20,000 feet. We turned all the way down to deck, with both of us taking pieces of one another every so often. It was one of the longest white knuckled fights I've ever had, and I ended up stalling out at 50 feet and ditched. I haven't seen him in awhile, but he was always a fun fight.

Wish I would have got to fight the names like Levi, Drex and Shane in their prime...I really started actually learning to fight when names like Grizz and Kazaa were the big sticks in town.

What I was getting at is has the level we call skill these days better or worse now? I believe they were good but I just wonder how they would stack up today...like if Murdr was in January KoTH...would I have still been top killer? Just want to fight these big name pilots to see how I stack up...want to fight them in their prime not when it's their first week back after 2 years away. Not an Ego thing...it's a learning thing which I know you know Vudak...that was mainly for other old timers who don't understand the fight.

 Then again you're better than me too. If you can hold your own against the best today then you would hold your own against the best of yesterday. Maybe not for the first half hour, but after you figured out their style anyway.

here the real secret. The best sticks mix up the style and keep you guessing. The hard part is reading what you think they're about to do and counter to or ready for it.

I still have a ways to go. Wish I started way back when I was a simpleton who just took bases :police:

I fought all of them too and to certain degree you are right ... Drex and Levi were at a whole different level not because they could kill with ease it was the could kill with ease in just about any ride. If you ever want to see a film that will cause you jaw to drop was Drex spankin multiples in a JU-88 ... just incredible. Levi in a Spit V was just devastating despite the poor ammo load out.

This is no way I'm trying to discredit the likes of Junky, Moot, JOACH1M, etc. and the generation following Drex, Levi, Morpheus, Shane, Lephturn (P-47), CrowMAW, IceMAW, Toad, ... too many to mention

As long as there is a new crowd that carries the torch for "the fight" and inspires others to fight ... it's all about the fight.

He's a good fight in a Hellcat.  Another good Hellcat pilot was this dweeb called Slapshot but I haven't seen him in the arenas in awhile.

Yeah that's a touch match.  3 v 1 and nobody can get a shot.

There's plenty of people who have manhandled me badly.  Greebo, MtnMan, Grizz, Fester, plenty of others.

My favorite Greebo memory is one day I was trying to BnZ him on the deck in my P47.  I was making my second or third pass being fairly aggressive, and it looked to me like he slipped my pass by staying flying straight and level, but throttled back.  That's all he did, and at the vertical angle I was coming in from at about 8 o'clock, I couldn't get the shot.  I think he tagged me on the way out too.

My rivals are also the red guys.

Too add to that...the person I really want to fight is m00t 1v1 in TA152s...he is that name everyone talks about in 152s...just want to see where I stack up.

Even if you could fly it like M00t there is still one, glaring problem.

You can't lob taters as well. He was lethal at almost every angle. (When Grizz worships your tater tossing you must be pretty good and he loved M00t's).

Speaking of the early days, Drex IMO was the best all round fighter, Cit/Fester was fantastic back then too (still is), but IMO Levi was the one that would make you shake your head and wonder "wtf" more than anyone else.  Not just from fighting him, but just observing him while on his team - getting into the swarms of umpteen on 1s that he would, and how he would not only eventually get out alive, but do so after killing most of the red dots near him.  The Spit5 with 240rnds back then = a lot of double digit landings for Leviathn.  His little pixie avatar was always disturbing though...

Mathman was incredible in that thing.   Back in 2003-2005, I would wing both Engine and Mathman in Hellcats.  The knowledge gained was most excellent.

My player rival is without a doubt Ditto from the famed JG11. Ditto and I go back to 2012 during the Der Grosse Schlag II Scenario over Germany. I believe it was frame two when I had ditto lined up and poured burst after burst into his aircraft. He fought for what seemed like an eternity with Ditto himself putting rounds into my ship as well. Fuel and damage became an issue for both as he broke off to the closet German airfield. I gave chase for a little while until I saw some of his friends circling their airfield. It was then I hit the deck and weaved along the treetops back to England. We scrapped up again in the scenario, but it was interrupted by our squadron mates and we had to break off.

We scrapped again in the BoB scenario where I collided with his wingman  :bhead

We have fought several times against one another in FSO with G3MF going toe to toe with JG11. Those fights are always a blast, because JG11 is a very disciplined fighter unit and knows what they're doing. We have clashed with JG11 on numerous occasions and the outcome is usually the same, we bag a few, they a bag a few, and then we go home. Sadly Ditto and I have shot the hell out of one another, but we just simply refuse to die!

Hopefully in the near future Ditto will get more chances to fight it out.  :salute to Ditto and a  :salute to JG11 for being my top rivals in the game. Thank you guys for the rivalry, but also the friendly banter that goes with it  :cheers:

Thank You   :salute

I would agree to that and I even shot up your P-40 from a ZERO once and yet you managed to land it   :bhead

I think you did kill me once while I was in a PT boat   :rofl

To me the best squad and player rivals in the game are those that you don't here from much. Players who almost never figure in the top 20 on any scoreboard. Players and squads that "play" the game, not "game" the game. Anyone who fights for it, whether it be a one on one, or two vs one, or a squad vs squad for a base, those are the top players and squads in the game and are the best rivals to fight.

Unfortunately we have far to many score mongers and chest thumping yahoos for these other players to shine through. Loud mouth braggarts who are giving lessons  :rolleyes: and others who toot their own horns about how good they are in an uber plane flown to it's strengths. Anyone with a little practice can do that. Then you have those that will up a storch only to bail it so they can shoot troops instead of fighting to save the base.

The good players/rivals play with in the spirit of the game. Bombers are for dropping bombs level and at altitude, not dive bombing. Vehicles are for hit and run tactics, not spawn camping. Storches are for spotting, not as a vehicle to to bail a defender.

Speaking of tooting horns... Want to know why I talk a lot of crap to people like you? Because you post stupid crap like this on here and 200 then won't back up your talk...just hide in the MA...like a ladyboy.

Please act like you don't talk crap too, I'll find your Cartoon you made of POTW with Twinboom shooting pigs down....Funny, I'm not afraid to say I would beat Twinboom 1v1 in P38s...because he won't go to DA or KOTH...Because he gets beat up in there and blames it on "ganging" and "picking" and "F3 mode"(His excuse when I offered to DA him F3 mode.....LOLOLOL)

Your an excuse making BABY for your suckage....and I quote you "You have more hours played then me" instead of trying to explain away your suckage...get better and fight me BROOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOT...now I want to get on Aces High and fight some people.

P.S. If I knew how to post films in here I would post the sortie you and icepac gave me crap about.....and the one from the other night where you HO FAILED 3 times in a Mossy while I was getting ganged by your entire squad....was a good fight with the rest of them but you tried to HO then said on 200 that you don't....Lie Lie lie

If you want to play the game more realistically fly in the FSO and Scenarios. They all utilize how planes/GVs strenghts and weakness work in team cooridanted efforts. The MA is a sand pit where people can do what ever they want. That will never change. There will always be a different style of player in it.

You can call people "scorepotatos" all you want but in reality most of those sticks are pretty good. You could bash each of their styles one by one but they all get kills, they capture bases, and they tare $h|t up. I think what you fail to realize is that most of these players have played the game for a long time and really understand how it works. If you want to he better at the game you have to learn how to get kills and avoid deaths easier. No one learns defense so they fail when they don't have the advantage. People don't utilize TU-S or 110s in the attack aspect. The majoirty of the people playing still have so much to learn. You have to learn a style and learn how to be effective in the MA style where everything goes.

Most of the rivals I've had in this game end up being squad members and are all awesome people. I'd say anti-hoard particularly 2cmex, Pigs on the wings, FBs, and AKs. They've all the been some great squads to fight with and agaisnt.

I've got to disagree with you there. I can almost instantly tell if a guy has a "good" score by how timid they fly and how they have no idea what they're doing against an opponent aware of their presence.

You're a rare bread. People with good scores who know what they're doing are few and far between.

I mean I'm like every other guy, I'll try run away if my odds are way too low but one on one I'll give it a go even if the other guy seriously outclasses my P47M. I also enjoy encountering 'royalty' names such as Akak, Sawsaw and his 4 cannon friend, Kappa, SFOX, Messiah, Scott, Joachim, Iraq Vet to name a few ... which ever the outcome and what/how ever they choose to fly.

Never said anything about flying "realistic". The way this game is played has changed dramatically over the years. Also said nothing about using planes to their strengths as a problem either. Flying a 152 to pick and run is what it was made for and if that is how you want to fly it, that is fine. What is missing is players looking to fight. Sure we still have a number of guys who will fly anything and fight any numbers, but that number/percentage is so much smaller these days.

There was a time when you could name the top 10 squads and the top 10 pilots and most wouldn't be in the top 25 on the score page. They made their names by being good players, good sports, and good for the game. Now everyone knows the "top" guys from how much trash they spew on 200, how many PMs they send. Its a trend generated by "gamers" After all thats what they do now a days, all internet tough guys, hiding in mommys basement.

Personally, I know I'll never be a top dog in this game. I'm almost 60, my reflexes are no where as good as they were when I was in my 20-30. My eyesight is going faster than my hair is falling out. I don't have the time to "invest" for good practice as I still work full time and take care of my family as well as my in laws. What time I do get to play I do to hang out with friends I have met in the game over the last 11+ years I have been here. There are no longer enough squelch spots left open when the braggarts and politicians get on to stay tuned to 200 so I have to cut off a number of friends by detuning 200. On the other hand, this game is still fun. Many fights can be had. Rooks had a couple of fights for bases that lasted hours yesterday. In those battles I ran into a number of fun fights most of which I lost. Even so, most of those players saluted back and forth and they didn't seem to feel the need to point out how awesome they are, we all just had fun.

Those that seem to feel the need to brag about how good they are do so because they don't get enough praise. Maybe they don't get that praise because they really aren't that good?

The easiest way to be successful in the MA is good SA and decent aim. The DA helps you win those situations when even good SA fails.

Well, it depends on your objective in the MA. But if you spend time in the DA it is going to translate to being able to put up a pretty good fight against a co-alt, co-E opponent, which does occasionally occur in the MA. 

Really though the best thing about the DA is that "most" of the guys who might come across as jerks in the MA are actually pretty cool in the DA, and after the two of you duel for awhile, "you" don't have to deal with their crap in the MA any more, even if you lost every fight in the DA.  That's worth its weight in gold in the MA.

I've had maybe 3-4 bad experiences in the DA in all the years I've played, and at least half of them were my own fault for bringing in a bad attitude.

Most people won't ever experience this because they say it's a chest thumping thing but unless your in there with a complete A hat then normally the experience ends in salutes and GGs.

Score never meant dick to me, but it is fun being able to be a fly in the ointment to some.   Someone mentioned Shane being "not too difficult".   Factor in the point that he is deaf and ask yourself:  "If I was deaf, would I be saying the former"?   Nope.   Shane was better in the D11, than in the La7, but that comes from playing for a while and some have played a lot longer than me.   People simply get hung up on trivial crap and then devolve to ignorance.    Hell, some call folks "trolls" and no one trolled in the first place.   <shrugs>

Actually really impressive that he can play deaf (I said it and won't retract my statement because I also brought up the point he probably wasn't in his prime) Riding the stall buffet must of taken some time to get used to I would imagine.

I agree... everybody knows my philosophy in the game I find people that beat me over and over and over again then I find a way to weasel myself into their hearts and make them my friends that way in the future when they kill me they will feel a little bit bad when that happens the chest thumping turns into gentle razzing on 200' I have no true enemies in the game there is nobody that I have hatred for in the game

Really though the best thing about the DA is that "most" of the guys who might come across as jerks in the MA are actually pretty cool in the DA, and after the two of you duel for awhile, "you" don't have to deal with their crap in the MA any more, even if you lost every fight in the DA.  That's worth its weight in gold in the MA.


Agreed.  Hey, that's how I met Vudak!

Mathman was incredible in that thing.   Back in 2003-2005, I would wing both Engine and Mathman in Hellcats.  The knowledge gained was most excellent.

Damn ... almost forgot about Mathman ... He was the first Hellcat dweeb that I knew. How about Lephturn in the Jug ? ouch !

Rivalry infers two players who actually WANT to fight one another, that the balance tips back and forth occasionally and that the winner takes joy in beating his opponent.  In that light my biggest rival for a long time was SHawk back in the days we were both at or near the top of the overall rankings.  He was always vocal after his wins.  Not so much after his losses.  Second on the list probably goes to that Aussie Yak T pilot (forgot his name) of several years ago.  I might have to add NIKL5 to this list simply for his obvious glee on 200 when winning.

Good fights/pilots over the years but not necessarily rivalries go to Slapshot, NB, Ack Ack, Cobia and other's I've forgotten.

Finally, Fugi, give it up.  After all these years the few times I've ever run into you in the arena you've been embedded in the midst of a red horde and the few times you've beat me you were like the fifth guy in.  Play how you want but stop preaching.  We all know who the top fighters are.

Good fights/pilots over the years but not necessarily rivalries go to :

in this regard to my editing of your post..

Dedalos and I seemed to carried on a longtime friendly rivalry in the CT/AvsA arenas through out the years...... others that were similar were Shane...well was a bunch of the names already posted in this thread.....as mechanic/batfink puts it: on any given day!

edit: I wouldn't say either of the players fighting 1vs 1, cheered joyfully if we won, we were more about it regarding giving one another an intense palm sweating multi minutes dogfight, regardless of who one...that was usually dependent on whoever made the first mistake....

Ded and Big!   Not so much rivals but great pilots who could beat anyone and didnt rub your nose in it.

  I miss the hours of rolling scissors with Big,you'd either auger or run out of fuel!  There were a couple others you could count on to join in,Lengro,Batfink,Perv and I'm likely forgetting several others.

 All these guys had the same attitude,competive but always willing to help were you messed up or admit when they messed up!   A rare breed ingame these days.

I haven't seen Shamus in years.

I have noticed over the years that the "great sticks" have more going for them than ACM and SA.... they are invariably great shots and their shots are always lethal. It seems they learned better than most where the "hit boxes" (like my head) are located.

Like many players I suspect, I find my rounds to be pretty ineffective..... many hit sprites seem to accomplish little....long bursts are required to achieve anything.

Anyway <S> to those who have mastered it.

Title: Re: Which player or squad is your best rival?
Post by: TequilaChaser on February 22, 2016, 03:57:59 PM
and the film will also stay recording no matter how many arenas you exit and enter, so if you started a film in the MA, then went to the DA or TA, and back to the MA, without stopping the film, it will have recorded continuously ..... I have done this numerous times, the only way to make the film stop automatically, is if you have it checked to stop and save or discard after each sortie...

As Dolby pointed out, if you manually start recording, you have to manually stop the recording

Anarchy, you have always been one of my most respected flyers; not only the best I've seen in a 109K4 but never afraid to take off from a capped field, and willing to help when needed.

My favorite fight of all time was years ago with Batfink - he was in a 262 and I was in a 190D, and we turned it into a 10-15min stall fight.

Other players / squads I respect (not necessarilly rivals):
Pawz - one of the best in a 38
Lazer - another best in 38, or any plane - just keeps killin me everytime I run into him.
Dodger - always fun to fight in his F6F
2CMEX - one of the best flyers in the game, and just a humble, good guy
Pipz - always fun to fly around
MN7
TWCMash
TC
Sik1
Kingpin
The Flying Circus (of course) - always there to bail me out
Anti-Horde - always fly together and great to fly with

I know I'm leaving a lot out right now but I'm out of time and my memory sucks.

Albeit a one sided rivalry, Shuffler gets me every time.

I think I have only a single one on one victory against him, the rest were picks while he was already fighting.

He's just lucky. His words! It's more than luck Shuff! Nice flying and shooting.

One of these days Shuffler...

I don't view any players as rivals. Those who beat me down the most are my teachers. Teachers that from time to time I'd like to strangle with my bare hands, but teachers none-the-less  :D

Hey BUD! I said Hi a page or so back but you must have missed it lol.  How's life treating you my friend?  Hows Mars?  Hope to see you throw the flying gear on and join us . Been back for about a year now.  <S> Bro   38

Doing good 38 ... Mars and I work for the same company so I see him everyday. He just ordered the Oculus Rift gaming machine so I think he may be back in the air once he gets that up and running Aces High. I'm going to wait and see what that's all about.

Joker is always fun.  So is Ruaml.  Ruaml is a great sport.  On the other side of that I started simply thanking peeps. As it seemed no matter how I bested some opponents they'd never ever salute back. 

So I simply post: ty <PilotName> when I get a kill.

If someone kills me I give them a salute and carry on.  The way I do the math is that my SA and\or skills were not adequate in that instance to not get killed.

Really think about it:

* If you get killed by ACK...you were near enough ACK to get killed.
* If you get ganged or vulched or ____ YOUR SA put you in a position to be at a perfect vector to experience that.


If the engagement changes from whence you started it...there is this thing called SA (Situational Awareness).  :aok

During a base take attempt
The shade op guys .... if I get no help and they are taking...unless i can get rid of SFOX ( doesn't happen often)the base is theirs...
The Jokers/alchemists/whoever else is with them.... once again...hard to stop the take if I can't get Joker..

And for all the cries about how they play most of the time those two know how to get down and dirty with a slow F4U when they have to (and out numbered)

47 Ronin are a pain in the butt of late...they use good wingman tactics which make it hard to fight against...much like the loose deuce days of old

I like fighting Paladin3 and his wingmen. [Loose Deuce?] They always wing together nicely and make for intersting challenge in trying to get one of them. It's very different for they way others approach multiple:vs1 because they really maintain team discipline, with no one pilot committing to the 1v1. It's an interesting appraoch that I alays find a lot of fun.

1v1 I like fighting:
F4Us: SFOX, Joker, 
La7: RuAml,
P-38 weenies Ack-Ack, Delirium, Lazer
K4: Anarchy, Krup,
A6m5: Cheetah
N1K2: CMEX
C205:CMEX
P-47: Juggler, LilMak
P-51: Higheye, 800Nate
Bombers: Havermyr.
