I was perusing a few old films and ended up going down that old reminiscence road..
It got me thinking about all those people I've shared the AcesHigh sky with..
Some great and respected allies, others great and respected opponents.
Over the years I've flown against and along side some superb people, even recruited some of them to fly with me..
So many have left an impression in their manner of flying this little gem of a combat sim.
I whacked on some hard rock and ranked a top 10 out of those to keep it interesting. :old:

No me on this list :( I guess we didn't really fight each other that much..
Here's a few more off the top of my head that I think are better than some in your top 10..

I enjoyed flying with all those guys in the early days of Muppets, and del in the 80th. Two guys could fly neck deep into a shatstorm and thin out the air pretty quick. I learned a lot from fester and kappa early on in my AH journey.
-
Fester was one that deserved to be in the top 3 of that list IMO.
Good lists so far.

Tour 96, with 899 kills v 20 deaths with a 39 K/D in all sorts of planes... ridiculous lol

AKAK is my hero, no one can fly a 38 like that gentleman :cheers: :salute
Citabria

Seighin was a wealth of information, they all were.
Dolby, Lazer you guys definitely on that list too. All awesome pilots :salute

I probably should have given Kappa an Honorable mention, he did beat me on the last day to Rank 1 fighter in tour 191 I think it was...
I left you out Violator because if I put you up there I'd have to put in Batfink, m00t, Skyyr, Fester, FastTone, BigR, Bunnies and Rudeboi too :p Trobes, up there.

Yeah, however I have been #1 fighter rank more times than all those guys, and won 2 KOTH TOC championships, just sayin :banana: ;)
There's a lot of great sticks that that have graced the skies over the 20 years, that's for sure. Pointing out a sheer "best" top 10 is up to interpretation. I was confused by your last 3 in the top 10, but to each their own :aok
My thing is, you have 1v1 greatness and also MA greatness and then special events greatness, since they all have different angles and measures of game, ACM, SA understanding and plane choices, so when looking at best overall, I like to look at all those gameplay situations.
I do certainly miss the old style game with the Blue Knights and Muppets doing some crazy fights and furballs. Looking back at the #s back then is just crazy compared to now. The current top fighter ranks wouldn't even be in the top 40 back then, lol. #s in the arena certainly do make a difference.

Meh!
Its a list from one person of players who made an impression on him.
It’s not the Grammy Awards won by votes. I don’t think it was meant to stir the pot. My list could be different.
Many of us know through the decades of great sticks. They all had their own era.
I myself, as much as I prove true suckage now, I was #1 a cpl times in AW RR arena,…25+ yrs ago.
AKAK, Shane, Rauml then Skyrock and I ran even,…depending on who you ask :) We threw every rock at each other. Those who remain are considered friends.
Back in band camp, flying with 1ijac, POS and KDF as pretty much wingmen, introduced me that #1 is good, but not important, just have fun with it. Those who choose fun last the longest. Its the best reality escape.
All that warm and fuzzy stuff said,.. competition is healthy, sparing is healthy, more so it proves, even with lower numbers (which I hope we’re all working on) and aging graphics, the game is still working and nostalgic.
Other than that, you SUCK! I’m the BEST there’s ever been.<cough> :) <runs>
-
Most of us kill more than we die nowadays ...
Not sure about you but that wasn't always the case for me
Most listed above have killed me way more than I ever did them but most are gone today without a means to attempt to extract revenge lol
It's a different ma without the hordes..still some very fun fights in the right situations
KOTH and fuzeman are dearly missed by some of us
:cheers:

I only only joke with my gamer ego :devil but I was thinking earlier that picking the top 10 in AH is like picking your top 10 scariest movies, everyone is going to have different experiences. Its great to rehash the old memories with these guys though. Guys like Batfink, Stang, Skyrock, Creton, Bighorn (phish), Blue knights and the Muppets, DH367th taught me ACM when I started this game. They were the true "best" at the time, atleast for me. This game was so awesome when so many wanted to learn ACM and get down and dirty and really learn how to fight hard.
There are a bunch of good sticks these days. There are atleast 15-20 sticks currently playing I could mention right now that are very good and some of the best. Its tough out there, that's why I need them to get out of the Temps and 262s :rofl

Storch

N7 and TK yeah, but Storch? lol

Bear!!! Not too shabby yourself back in the day!
Would be cool to see if we could get AI to find some of the best fighter tours over the years, like overall best K/D ever. Or most ridiculous overall fighter stats for one tour.
I've been enjoying checking out some of the older tours and seeing players #s back then compared to today.

Ahhhh memories of the 80th and the Muppets dogfighting in B-17s...... what fun we used to have. The laughing was contagious.

Hey guys,
Great to see this list. Some quality people for sure. I think 'FloatsUp' is a name worth mentioning as well.
I believe he has now passed but he was a heck of a good trainer and mission instigator.

With me... it's the first 10 red players i run into after I log in.. and 2cmex is a bully!!! Lol man he can fly as well as skyyr rud, Lazerr, pico,vio,fugi,trog, etc as well as some that I haven't seen in 20 years TJ and his pony(tonyjoey)
-
I watched in ride along mode wldthing, Levi and 2bighorn dueling in DA one night loooong ago. After watching them and flying with the BKs, I don't think there's a top 10... more of a top 1% that could beat each other on any given night. I'd say that number is 50ish pilots over the time frame I played.

Drex and Fester are the first ones that I thought of. I think Fester was also Citabria ( spelling?)

That's my memory as well-the Fester being Citabria thing that is.
I remember Drex being unbeatable in Warbirds. Then he and Levi (aka +Dead, DeadF, +todd, Todd, Uber, Levi amongst others in AW) joined forces in the Blue Knights over here. Sheesh, what a talent pool that squad possessed. they were/are all bona fide killers.
I also kinda think Fester/Citabria was the phenom that was -ASF- (Altitude Super Freak) back in AW. ASF absolutely crushed it for a few months in 1995/96 and then abruptly left. I could be wildly wrong but just a hunch.

Meh, guaranteed they wouldn't dominate that much. Most would be rusty. Also many of the great 1V1 sticks weren't necessarily that great in the MA either. But the current crop does have many good sticks and way less easy kill noobs along with less help from friendlies since the #s and squads are lower. Also any good vet could come in here and fly in their easy modes and do well in score if they tried. IMO, a player who mostly uses the easiest BnZ planes is using it as a crutch and it doesn't really represent "true" all out skills in the MA since planes in the MA aren't "equals" like it would be if AvA during the same year period. Its much easier to "look good" flying super fast cannon monsters. But it really does take the fun away from the game overall.

Hey Skychimp, long time! No Koth takes someone to run it and most just don't have the time and/or know how to effectively run it. Good times though for sure.

I was going to say the same thing, but I'm trying to be nice as I age and get ready for the grave.
Some of the guys on that list were still good though. Some I'm not familiar with. Back in the early days when the dual ladder things were going on with good numbers, you'd get to see who was really good 1v1
There's some stat whoring and usually tons of time dedicated to being no1 in any category, but also MA skills are a thing too. Being able to kill and land them. Bit that it kind of what most people started to do - so no more furballs.... and tons of BnZ tools.

Interesting you'd say that after posting your own stats and referring to top players dominating them if they were here. In anycase, this is just the systems top 10, Doesn't make them the "best ever" (though I think some are). Top 10s are generally up for interpretation as most havent played all 25 years and fought against everyone. I do disagree with your stance though, while it may be "dweebery" Its still the games scoring system and someone has to be #1 even if no one tried. To achieve the #1 spot you still have to show top MA flying understanding for that tour and statistically have the better overall ranks in each category to win. Sure a player can try to game it in easy planes, but thats just the current system for you. The ability to achieve that over and over again, such as Atlau with 40 in a row (along with #1 attack every time too) shows a level of dedication and MA understanding that is extremely rare. The earlier top #1s with Grizz vs Bruv vs TonyJoey looked very competitive. I was a bit surprised myself after pulling the #s. But I'll admit when I returned after missing 08-13 for university, the competition wasn't as stiff and many had left so I was able to pull it off with minimal hours played. I can bet you I had the least 262 or 5 eny planes to achieve it though.
There is also a difference between skills in 1v1, MA, and AvA special events. Just because someone is great is 1 category, doesn't mean they are the best in the other. They are all learned and practiced disciplines. Many players on that list were infact pretty damn good at all 3 though.

And then you whined and cried about not being able to get #1 due to playing time when Skyyr was here :rofl
-
Interesting you'd say that after posting your own stats and referring to top players dominating them if they were here.
I pulled them up to prove that a pilot who is sub standard to those great pilots can pull what would have been impressive stats in the passed is not impressive these days :old: And completely purposefully missing the point with the only goal to passive aggressively call me a hypocrite without having the balls to say it straight out is a little too see through.
Lets get down to the simple; You think you're one of the greats don't you. In your head you are an AcesHigh living legend. However, legends/greats are picked by the people around them, not by you posting anything you can find that you use to quantify yourself as a legend/Great. Like Skyyr, you're going to have to come to terms that the people pick Legends/Top 10s, not you no matter how much you've convinced yourself you're great, and you're not in mine not even close.

Like Skyyr, you're going to have to come to terms that the people pick Legends/Top 10s, not you no matter how much you've convinced yourself you're great, and you're not in mine not even close.
Well, if those #s are from any time in the last year, they aren't sub standard at all...
You did say you added Kappa to your list when he beat you at #1, correct? So again, I figured you'd be amused by the systems #1 fighter ranked pilots especially when you provided your own stats. I did the analysis for my own amusement as well. I was just suprised to see your comment. Not calling you a Hypocrite but you merely counterdicted your positions the way I saw it.
Comparing today's #s with those of decades ago isn't a correct assessment. Player count in the arena makes a huge difference and therefore will enhance those #s with more to shoot at with larger fights througout the day. For example even getting a 10 K/S and getting #1 today would be extremely difficult and not comparative to say 2011 when it was more achievable due to hundreds more in the arena.
I don't believe we've ever really fought. Therefore your opinion on my level is just an opinion, and thats okay. As I stated, top 10s are an opinion mostly. Shoot I never fought Levi or Drex even in the MA. They were before my time. I just thought it would be interesting to see all the #1 Fighter ranks throughout the years and make a top 10 of winning the most tours. You don't have to get angry about it.

Good, you understand, now apply it to everyone else.
We have fought before, it's not as such a rare occasion as you would believe.
Kappa was memorable not just because of the stats, but because its memorable. I'd been shot down by him a number of times before, sorry I didn't type out 220 paragraphs of the history of every fight and furball prior to prevent you trying to pull this lame see through bulchit. Keywords just jog memories and I type them as I think them.

Uh okay whatever, it's just these #s are backed by figures that were measured by the MA scoring system month over month and aren't based on someone's FPH status. Whether anyone thinks they are top 10 is up to them..
Hey, there's all my tours if you want go through and see the "dweeby statistics" lol. My first time was winning a bet with Kruel to prove how easy it was in a Temp. I don't hide behind attack mode and probably have less perked under 10 eny planes than almost anyone, so I don't understand where all this vitriol is coming from...

Oh good one, I've been advocating that stats do not prove anything, and by you using a single tour to claim that I'm hiding behind a 262 is exactly why stats are an unreliable basis of anything. Those missions/sorties this tour are mainly playing whack-a-mole chasing and trying to break the base takers/start runners as fast as I can get across the map. The 262 fits the mission profile the best, and is effective for what I want to do.
It's also inflating my stats making me look better than the reality.
By trying to have a dig at me in the current tour you've just shot through your own foot.
Statistical Dweebery isn't impressive :old:

They don't prove anything to you? Yet you compared your stats right off in the beginning of this thread saying dominant players can destroy that. Well guess what, so have I... but those stats don't mean anything when they don't suit your FPH narrative.
What the F ever dude.. I wasn't braggadoicous at all. Just pointing out a system metric of #1 fighter rank and you are the one all butthurt who cannot accept that maybe I am actually good. I am proud of achieving #1 quite a bit in mostly above 10 eny planes. And guess what, one of these days I'm gonna do it in a Ki61 and P40, which is a goal. So I could give a F less about your false perception of what constitutes skill. All i care about getting so called "top players" out of their easy mode rides most of the times so we can see how really skilled they are when they can't just hit x and run and get easy picks and run everyone out of the game.

Yeah, however I have been #1 fighter rank more times than all those guys, and won 2 KOTH TOC championships, just sayin :banana: ;)

I was being facetious, but that was well before I even posted the top list...sorry for promoting my achievements in the game i didn't think you'd get all buthurt :D
Yeah you'd hate to see my special events #s too. I guess 21-0 in masters of the Air doesn't mean anything either. :rofl
Hey, it's all just "fun". Who cares about being good or competing or anything right?
Yawn.

And btw Dolby. F U for disrespecting me and then trying to minimize my and others personal achievements in AH.

I was perusing a few old films and ended up going down that old reminiscence road..
It got me thinking about all those people I've shared the AcesHigh sky with..
Some great and respected allies, others great and respected opponents.
Over the years I've flown against and along side some superb people, even recruited some of them to fly with me..
So many have left an impression in their manner of flying this little gem of a combat sim.
I whacked on some hard rock and ranked a top 10 out of those to keep it interesting. :old:
1.Levithn
2.Bruv
3.Grizz
4.DrBone
5.Joachim
6.DrSpek
7.Krupnski
8.Sonic23
9.2Cmex
10.Sukov

Hmmm, so that must make me the goat. Only 1 of those names EVER gave me trouble. Grizz and I never went up against Levi.

N7 and TK yeah, but Storch? lol
OMG....lol Storch?!?! He needed N7 and TK cupping his sack just to get a 1v1 kill.....and that happened about as often as Slash getting laid!! :banana:

Great game with some very good players..
Even today you can still find a great fight in ma just about every time...as long as the horde or kill starved pickers stay away..

There's a few that come to mind that didn't fly late war rocket planes so would probably have a tough time making the tops of the charts but were still pretty good.

Tekwrek
Sparky (used to fly hurricane in midwar arena) I used to call him "Sparkles" to annoy him when I played as Ratbstrd or Yardude.

Been shot down by a lot of great sticks over the years but the ones I liked best always did their talking with their guns.

Interesting you'd say that after posting your own stats and referring to top players dominating them if they were here. In anycase, this is just the systems top 10, Doesn't make them the "best ever" (though I think some are). Top 10s are generally up for interpretation as most havent played all 25 years and fought against everyone. I do disagree with your stance though, while it may be "dweebery" Its still the games scoring system and someone has to be #1 even if no one tried. To achieve the #1 spot you still have to show top MA flying understanding for that tour and statistically have the better overall ranks in each category to win. Sure a player can try to game it in easy planes, but thats just the current system for you. The ability to achieve that over and over again, such as Atlau with 40 in a row (along with #1 attack every time too) shows a level of dedication and MA understanding that is extremely rare. The earlier top #1s with Grizz vs Bruv vs TonyJoey looked very competitive. I was a bit surprised myself after pulling the #s. But I'll admit when I returned after missing 08-13 for university, the competition wasn't as stiff and many had left so I was able to pull it off with minimal hours played. I can bet you I had the least 262 or 5 eny planes to achieve it though.
There is also a difference between skills in 1v1, MA, and AvA special events. Just because someone is great is 1 category, doesn't mean they are the best in the other. They are all learned and practiced disciplines. Many players on that list were infact pretty damn good at all 3 though.

Hey my top kills this past tour was in a Ki61 at 27 - 2. :old:
Congrats on your #1 fighter tour this month. I guess it doesn't mean anything though. Maybe next time you can do it in more challenging planes since "statistical dweebery" is soooooo easy after all.

I never said it "mattered". I only searched out out the systems top 10 #1 ranked players to see whose hit it the most. Skill is up to interpretation in your opinion. But to say it doesn't take any skill to post #1 consecutively is just an outright false statement, whether the player is in your perceived top 50 or not. It still takes a good amount of skill. That being said. Plane choice absolutely does matter. Which is why I emplore all of you to fly less advanced planes to make the game more fun. Everyone in these 262s, tempest, la7s, Spit16s, and 190Ds, are really acting like score IS the only thing that matters if so many have to hide behind the fastest and best turning planes in the game...

Good I'm glad we agree, finally.
Now that you know it doesn't matter, you can stop going to your local mall 'impressing' all the silver headed dames with their canes that you have attained eleventy-one #1s in Fighter Score Rank and you won koth championships with your leg tied to you elbow, while upside down, eating baked beans through a straw with your underpants over your eyes and a rampant rabbit buzzing up your ringpiece while flying a teapot with wings made of peanut butter limited to 7mph with no more than 6feet per year climb rate and the drag co-efficient of your own ego.

Gee I'd LOVE to see the film on your 12 kill Hurricance 1 sortie on Saylor in his B17s and 6 kill hurricane sortie on Volantex and 6 kill sortie in a spit1 on Rienne. Interesting you got 99% of all Saylors bombers deaths in 297 and all the kills on VolanTex with his only 2 bombers sorties. And all the kills on Rienne minus 3 since AKCiane swooped in and stole a set. Must be luck I guess :rofl
BTW, Tournament of champ Koth is not the same as regular Koth. Winning a Koth is an achievement, but winning TOC koth, the final battle of all the winners and rabbits for the year, is a little more challenging.

Violator, you like stats that don't matter and I have a question I'm curious which tour in the Mid-war I got #1 fighter rank?
I haven't looked at mid-war, but it wasn't as competive really. That being said, you should take those Mid war plane skills to the MA and try to get top fighter there. That's the real test.
BTW I never once claimed to be the almighty bestest ever. I've only mentioned a few names of probably 50 who've impressed me over the years. I don't hold a candle in the MA contest to the likes of Atlau, TonyJoey or Fester, albeit. Today's atmosphere is much more challenging IMO. But #s wise they crushed it. And in 1v1, Latrobe, Krupnski, and Joachim generally got the best of me most of the time but there are so many others ive had great fights with. I dont think ive ever DAd you Dolby. Albeit I don't have the time to play anymore (10-20 hours a month if i can) and im still working on a better set up for my stick and throttle. Its not quite where i like it yet so my current status in game isn't where it use to be either. I also thought AH2 was much easier to judge and read E compared to AH3, so I'm still having issues with that. Once I get my stick and throttle setup better. I'd be happy to DA you.
It wasn't until you took my words out of context and wrote things to mock me that I never said that made me start trolling you. Just beware that if you pull that crap on me I'm not going to let it slip. :aok
