Now that he’s gone; it has been said folks who got his help benefited from some of his skills.
I wasn’t in that group and sort of believe this :old: :joystick: has seen his best days and isn’t dedicated enough to improve much, although just flying more would do that, and I was a wondering….
What did YKH teach you that made you better in Aces High?

Landings are not part the equation.

I thought I was fairly smooth with my controls, not the "yanking fool" I was when I started, but after watching his YouTube videos I saw that I wasnt even close.....yet. I have been working on flying smoother. Between scaling (which YKW said wouldnt help) and just working at being smooth I find that it is easier to fight many fights as Im not fighting MY plane as well as the other guys.
And patience. Between him and "nrshida" being patient and waiting for the shot instead of forcing a shot is a whole new world.

I took advice that HT gave to someone here, forgot who unfortunately, and mapped the trigger to my throttle for a different sim. It really seemed to help. Do I still suck? Absolutely but my hit % seemed a bunch better. I'm gonna give it try over here as well.

Hope all his shade and multi accounts were banned also. Also who is taking bets on how long before he comes back under a new shade and starts again.

BBS has been more civil and quieter so far anyway. Let’s hope ALL THE PEOPLE that were making it a cess pool have also been shown the door.

Just have fun and let it go...ffs

Lazerr, 10 months of near constant berating, belittling and harassing dozens of members of the community and game probably should allow for more than a couple days. There are players who likely don’t know yet…
I know of at least two players who lurk here and never comment but they look maybe once a month…
I learned zero from him other than tactics to counter being specifically hunted, none of which I ever had to use before and hopefully won’t again. It’s not the same at all as knowing Joker or Kamurogi will recognize you when you up to defend, they will stay with their base capture objective.

He definitely had e-management down to an art. Would I consider him in the top ten, no. I suspect if the muppets still flew about 75% would clobber the hell out of him.

lol. Skyyr dueled almost every Muppet that was playing when he flew and he beat every one of them. The only guy who he didn't flat-out dominate was Violator who he went 1-1 with. Grizz, INK, and sc0tch backed out (INK and sc0tch previously demanded that he duel them until they saw all thei squadmates lose) and his duels with Agent360 were so lopsided, he didnt even bother to upload them.
tldr he went 9-1 vs the Muptards.
He dueled you too and I seem to remember you couldn't even get a single kill on him.

I'm not convinced YKW was all skill. I read things on other boards that scream different, which I will keep to myself. He carried this bad reputation everywhere he went. This is not the only place he was shunned for his antics.

What did YKH teach you that made you better in Aces High?
Ill answer:
Skyyr was always willing to go 1 on 1 in the DA and teach dogfighting tactics. Usually we would fly a few rounds and then he'd ask us for a post-fight review of why we thought the fights went the way they did, then he would drill down and ask us why we chose the tactics we did.
In almost every session, what we ended up going back to the basics. He would stress that every single fight was a series of maneuvers, and every maneuver was an individual OODA loop. The trick was identify the situation, select the proper maneuver as quickly as possible, execute it, and then repeat.
What it taught me (and I think most that flew with him) is that dogfighting is both extremely simple and most players (myself included) didnt fully understand that the complexity is in recognizing that and keeping it simple. If you ever sat in comms listening to him talk his way through a fight, it was almost mesmerizing how he could tell you what you were going to do while countering it as you did exactly what he predicted you'd do.
He focused a LOT on basic maneuver selections and the OODA loop. I think that is Skyyr's talent - he's able to break down complex geometry and physics very quickly and simply. This isnt the only sim he flies - he's flown numerous others and he was even better in those, so I know firsthand he wasn't just gaming the game here.

Interesting read
Myself, most people I know with incredible intelligence, totally lack common sense. I'll never understand why people do these type of things to themselves until their hair lights on fire. I work with a lot of high end medical doctors, coders, marketing etc...they can't hit a urinal if their life depended on it., and probably can't even bait a fish hook, better yet tie their own shoes,.. but man that one slice of what they study they are brilliant at,.. anything outside it, step away catastrophic is coming.
I did support a second chance, I didn't know him enough to cast judgement,...it ended the opposite. I needed to be dipped in acid to wash it away.
-
First off I am a terrible fighter pilot, one of the worst in the game I'm sure. But from just watching his flying and his ability to consistantly get the kills, I was impressed. But I must admit I was really getting tired of the constant put downs, and rants on 200.
He's gone, so let it pass into the past. :bolt:
-
Meh, just another illusion as usual. They never faced The 2006-2010 muppets squad as large as it was, and was wicked in the MA. There were a lot more people in the skies as well. When I look back at the fighter ranks during that time it cracks me up. Skyyrs squad never got that big, so it would have been harder for them back in those days to get away with BnZ as easily vs all the Muppets and probbaly blue knights and all the other squads for that matter that were huge. I certainly won't miss the constant spamming of youtube videos trying to claim superiority over everybody...

I couldn’t have said it better myself. What started out as a simple duel to see how I fared against the guy everyone talked about ended up like this. And I stress the part in bold. He even did it in the MA and was right almost every time. That is why I enjoyed flying with him. It was fun while it lasted.
He would also say that fighting against bad pilots was usually harder to precise because they don’t even know what to do half the time.

Well I hope you ignored the small ranting crowd and stayed in the game. I liked having you around. Good peeps. Both you and Violator.

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar
You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try
They're gonna love you
(But) Did they tell you the name of the game…?

I once flew straight at the merge instead of turning and he closed on me after a 180 in the same plane and loadout with same speed and altitude at the merge.
I also performed a "merge turn" like his at the same moment and we both ended up never crossing a merge line. I just wanted to see what he considered a "merge".

You mean this duel set where you clearly didn't understand how to manage your E? The conspiracy theorist is strong with you.

Hi Skyyr!
I'll be back in game as soon as hardware arrives and I will affect your score negatively, Kruel.
He's got a mac address ban so he will need different hardware to spoof his way in and we'll recognize him immediately just by his inability to land a mission.
-
YKW was a good stick but he also had a habit of cheap kills. He did bounce, he did HO, he did pick. Which all is fair in war, but they were not all ACM fights because he was racking number of kills.
2-3 times he got me he hovered 3k above until I engaged someone else, then of course drop down on my distracted 6. Several times he took the HO if he couldn’t get my 6 after 4 turns. In a true 1-1 ACM fight I don’t remember once him gaining my 6. The times I did get a kill it was on his 6.
I’m not saying that truth because I’m great, I’m pointing out he wasn’t as great as some say. He had killer shot is what he had. Fighting him was not much different than anyone else. Half his kills on me were HO merges.
A lot of his multi-kills was flying through furballs hitting the distracted.
Some of yas give too much credit above yourselves. It was his aim that got him above the rest. He held E because he always came in 2-3k higher.
The opposite with me, iI can pull the ACM with him, my stick won’t allow me to be a great shot. The doom and gloom about the games life scares me iff investing $500 in a stick when I only play one sim. If I got a new virpril like I want my kills would rocket compared to now.
Many here have equal ACM skills. He didn’t post all vids, he posted ones that made him look great.
I saw Spike’s films that showed equal aim skills to YKW. The key is no bounce sticks. Banshee and Violator also have solid aim. Those are just the films I saw. What holds some back is morals, not taking cheap kills.
As far as judging acm of the rival, there’s only so many options in a situation, the rival usually takes the obvious.
He also flew many hrs per day, of course more kills and very warmed up. Like billiards, my first 2 games I’m going to suck, by 3rd game I’m warmed up, in tune, and taking the next 5 games in 3-4 turns, some times break and then game. So it matters how long someone is flying before you get to them. I’ve been only flying -1-1.5 hrs with only a few fights, I’m not even warmed by the time I log.
Is he real good? Yes. The best ever? Mehhh! He sure did convince some he was. Some of you sell yourselves shot, because your ego is intact and not exploded.
-

The game must’ve been rough then. Because, according to him, everyone was bad.
His problem was never that he was a good stick or had something to contribute. It was that he couldn’t accept that anyone else might. He is 100% driven by his inflated ego and if you would kiss his ring, he’d be your friend. If you wouldn’t, there’s no depth he wouldn’t go to prove he was superior. That includes gaming the game, griefing, lying, cheating, harassing, doxing, and I absolutely wouldn’t be remotely surprised if he hacked as well. When it came to this game he perpetually acted like a child who forever tested his parent’s boundaries and if you gave him a millimeter, he’d absolutely run wild with it.
Any good he may have contributed to the game or community is forever tainted like a baseball player on steroids. There will always be an asterisk next to any accomplishments he had here.
The last kill I got of him sums up his entire time here. He died, not because of my skill or his, but because of his ego. He was banned (the second time) for the same.
The irony of what you highlighted is something I’ve known for eons. I predicted exactly what he would do and he got disintegrated for being predictable.

I won’t say how I know this, including other sims, his skill was not always pure.
Edit
It infuriated him that someone with the lowest kills could kill him, hence vids if when he won and an act you mentioned I promised not to talk about.
-

I hope you shared what you know with HiTech.

I don’t KNOW anything unless I see it 1st hand. What I HEARD/read was from a time ago, not present. If I did know I’d certainly pass it on properly.
What I’m saying is I wouldn’t put it past YKW. Obsession goes to extremes.

Mac addresses are very easy to spoof. So is just about any other identifier. Behavior is harder to spoof.
-
Pretty sure he's back, new player, 13 sorties, 44 kills, at least 2 being Eagler.
Proxy?
wonder if CC Cards can be blocked.
-
Yep...........can't land a sortie either.
-
You can't really identify anyone by their computer or connection anymore. However, you must have a credit card to open an account and that can't be spoofed legally.
Well, obviously you can identify someone by their connection and computer but not if they don't want to be and have some skillz.
-

It's not difficult to passthrough to a friend with a cc or other valid payment mechanism such as the pre-pay form. It could also be a free trial (no cc needed!)
-
Far more likely he'd swap into one of the other Faked Damned accounts and fly under another (known) name who suddenly prefers different planes and who has miraculously discovered the ambot software.
I shouldn't do this though, see YKW under every rock, don't you think he's already had enough attention? Let HiTech handle him and get back to enjoying the game eh?
-

You can certainly identify someone based on a pattern of hardware info.

The Fingerprint is based on combination of hardware serial numbers. I used to use it to tell me how many PCs my software was on. I assume HT uses that somewhere.
In my situation I think someone (name withheld) coached some into crossing lines.
-
He definitely had e-management down to an art. Would I consider him in the top ten, no. I suspect if the muppets still flew about 75% would clobber the hell out of him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG.
He shot down that entire squadron singlehandedly more than once. It's among some of his most epic films.

I learned zero from him other than tactics to counter being specifically hunted, none of which I ever had to use before and hopefully won’t again. It’s not the same at all as knowing Joker or Kamurogi will recognize you when you up to defend, they will stay with their base capture objective.
Who are you and why would he hunt a guy with such an unremarkable level of skill? No hate, just observation. I think some people confuse a limited number of targets with being hunted. I doubt anyone bothers to hunt you.
-
Yep...........can't land a sortie either.
Can't or doesn't? Big difference.
Not landing had many legit reasons. Either way he's better than you and better than me. :salute

Regarding the OP's question, I've learned from watching his films the "vertical" Thatch Weave for lack of a better term.

Hitech would spot that in a second.

Oh no, who let Vraciu out of his straight jacket.
Actually Vraciu, Skyyr didn't even fight 1/3rd of the Muppets. His fights where when most of the Muppets had left and didn't fight any of them during their peak between 06-09.

That's false and we have films to prove it.

🤣
Want the film of his very last sortie(s) hunting me? In his last hours he died to Mothman, Latin, and REDDEYE several times abandoning all ACM just to TRY to get me. He was so angry he lost to me in a P-51, a plane I rarely fly. 🤣 For awhile that night he had J1Had/Vraciu covering so he could hunt, oh wait you already knew that, V.
🤣
How’s the weather in Texas, V?

He's got a mac address ban so he will need different hardware to spoof his way in and we'll recognize him immediately just by his inability to land a mission.
The best way HTC can ban some one is by banning their credit cards and name on the credit cards.
IP addresses can be changed even if you have a static IP just use a VPN
Mac addresses Can be changed either in hardware (Bios or Router Setting) or software.
Even with banning CC# and/or Name on CC Account, some one can still get in with a Visa/MC gift card which generally has no name on the account or use another persons Credit Card and make the account in their name.
Unless the game had some sort of financial investment like paying for each aircraft vehicle and/or map like in WT/IL2/DCS, the player really doesn't loose anything on a ban, just access to the game; at least until they figure out how to get past the ban.
Maybe Hitch should ask for a $30-$50 Non refundable or forfeitable Deposit to play the game and be a little more liberal with the permaban hammer.
Edit: Also need a Perma-Squelch
-

:rofl
Lol. There's enough trouble attracting subs with it being totally free. This idea will basically end any hope of new subs.
-
Make it a $100 deposit so long as it keeps the lowest of the low out of the game it would be worth it.
:banana:
Edit: and a Perma-Squelch ... can't forget that.
-
Make it a $100 deposit so long as it keeps the lowest of the low out of the game it would be worth it.

Hope you like playing with...yourself, then, so to speak. Won't be any new players if this idea were to come to pass. :banana: :joystick:
-

You sure that's V-thing?
V-thing isn't PNGed as far as any one knows and doesn't need to hide behind a shade like "It" who is PNGed.
Anyway .....
I wonder how many people would be willing to pay a deposit or buy into the game if it keeps our favorite two legged Walking feminine Hygiene Product out of the game?
