Throw a few names out and say for what reason. :)
-
I like having Skurj and Hblair around. I tend to live longer.
-
Voss/Gpreddy/ASASIN. Without him/them we'd never have anyone besides gunman26 (RIP) to taunt and rag on.
Edit: Maybe beet1e, but he's become complacent since his last rampage. :D
-
999000 bacause of his ability to carpet bomb several flaks and kill 2 or 3 la7's on the way home. The carpet bombing of several flaks never fails to make me lmao. Quite entertaining.

All the bishops that remain bishops and NEVER defect or jump from squad to squad. Guys like hammy and redreo that always seem to help out whenever they are needed and are willing to do just about anything. Gwjr3 and mdbaker and the others that always manage to hear your need for gv supplies before you make it and bring you supplies before you ask. Flossy and lpn and mrgoon and the others I have forgotten that always seem to have a cheery attitude even after dying for the 28th time in their goon. The guy that showed up by chance when bishops needed a goon last night at a136 on trinity.
The rest of you guys are jerks.
:p
-
All my squaddies, past and present.
MrGoon, the guy must be nuts, and I say that in a complementary fashion. bish owe him a serious debt of gratitude. I mean, 32 c47 base captures so far this tour. :eek:
Winged with Wldthing once, that was eye openning and great fun, a sortie I'll never forget.
Too many others to mention. There are far more good guys than there are idiots.
Gatso

Gpreddy, Rauml,ElGuapo,Shane, Nuke, wAFFLE, ..AND SOEM MORE..THEY ADD SUCH A "FLARE" TO THE GAME
.. and the rest are great people...each on e of you little campers:)

:p
And you never defect? I seem to recall, on more than one occasion, you going rook or knit to bomb a factory to pad your score...
And Urchin's my favourite pilot; he taught me how to umm.. kill things :D
-
Preddy, No matter how many squads I hop to, I will always be able to outfly you with my eyes closed. Let me know if you want to set up a date for it, Unless it would hinder your score padding too much? Anyways, Pilots I like havin around are Kappa, and any other squaddies. Manx cool guy to have around, along with shane and skurj. Good additudes and fun to fly with.
-
NathBDP because he's so dreamy.
-
my favorite pilots are my squad mates, they're fun to wing with and there's always someone telling a funny story on vox. And they make really good bait too :c)
Ack-Ack
-
Lets see....
Dutch Miller, Great Guy and an outstanding carreer. Drinks Martinies before Lunch ...hehehehe..
Julie Clark, She is just a sweetheart and loves her Warbirds, T-34 and T-28.
The Franklins, Jim and Kyle. Anyone that straps a Jet on Waco is cool in my book, always good folks to talk to.
Howard Pardue, I just love seeing him in that FM2 doing ACMs. Finnally got a chance to talk to him and thank him for always sharing his planes this past year...
So many to pick from....
What?.. oh... not real pilots.. oh OK...
How about ALL ROOK Pilots!! :)
-
AKcurly - cause he's my dad :)
Nim
-
Oh wait you said respect, sorry wrong post then........
-
All those regular guys you meet once in a moon where it's just you and him..
The good fights you remember.
It has no relation to their "rep", it's the fight of the moment.
Lot of gentlemen here, lot of good fighters here..
Many many names that fill that bill..
As it should be..
-
My squad mates, and other former squadmates. Anyone that calls a check six, and some of the old LW guys. Apar, Gmoney glasses and such.
-
Having a RaUmL around leaves a mark that is visible within a 52 mile radius.
-
Rauml cracks me up.
-
Obviously everyone in the squad, especially Busher and DsrtRat (flame on!).
Country pilots include Fariz, Beemer, Rollo (where would Bish be without his defending!), Yancyan, GTR and lots more I've probably forgotten (yeah, just woke up!)
Enemy pilots: Blitz, Pepe (only in tank and not NIK2 ;)), Saw ;), Airmess... I need to wake up more!
-
as pilots, I hate you all, but as people.. I hate you even more...
lol no im joking, you all a great people.. but probally someone I get along with the most would be Furball.. ..
if I played AH more than once a month i might have more friends..I'm not holding my breath though..:D
-
Ok, lets redo this thread more with a more serious tone. There are alot of great pilots in AH. If you think about the older guys flying, you have to give them alot of credit also because some of them are darn good. With talent like Drex, Leviathon, and Fester I think AH has the best virtual pilots online. Then there are many other guys who are darn good you just have to sneak up on them for a kill. Thats why AH is so fun because of the great fights.
:D
-
enemy's......APAR...URCHIN....ya give em faster planes....ya give em alt adv.....I kill em both.....both squeak like little girls:eek:
friendlies.....TRIKKY...ROLLO(great guys to have around when defending)
most of the bish i fly with are all friendly people....
but most of all my squad mates.....418 Hornets...just a class act squadron...
and a special note to Mr.Hedd(squadmate....65 years old and kicking bellybutton an takin numbers)...salute to ya sir

You havent proven that so far in fact the only thing youve proven is that you are a dweeb.
-
My squadmates first....those that come to mind easily are Curly, Nimitz, Iron(of the AK variety), Whels, Urchin, Levi, NB, Hangtime and Wardog.
There are many others, especially those who hand out 6 calls on a regular basis....they tend to be my favorite people:)
Has anyone noticed in Bishland that the 6 calls are comin at a nice pace....seems everyone is workin together quite well.
-
Oh, too many to list! First off my squaddies, if you need to bend an ear, they're always there for each other...
AKcurly stands out, father figure to me.
Daddog, Ghosth, both always happy and great guys to chat with.
I haven't got the time to list the favorites...just too many!
-
My favorite pilots are the ones I shoot down, my most hated (a longer list) are the ones that get me.
-
lots of names come to mind.
mostly it's the ones that, "know that you know". ie. someone that, when being chased sees you on his bandits 6, and keeps going in order for you to saddle up and clear his 6 without even typing a word.
-
My favorite pilots...
1. anyone dumb enough to fly in front of me from another team.
2. anyone dumb enough to chase one of my squaddies...gives us a nice chance to use the squaddie as bait
3. Lazs....see info on "bait"
4. Pilots who set auto pilot to get a smoke (see bait info) like Narsus.
5. Poopster...cos he cracks me up and tells the best stories...I owe him a nice cigar.
6. Leviathon...cos he cheats...there is no way he could have pulled that many reversals on me. Bastard!
7. hard turning me262 pilots
8. My Squaddies...cos the rest of you suck or you would be a BK
Mothr
-
myself, Hawk238, and TheWall, because we all work good together, i think, and usually its us 3 against 5 other people and we always win, we are also the only ones stupid enough to fly goons into a base, because we are always on a team we work good together and can predict what the other will do, we usually have our own roles ( normal ) and im usually escort, hawk is usually bomber, and wall is usually caps the base until we get to the drop, and that way only one of us usually gets shot down and its pretty fun flying with them, we also have this new kid, hes pretty cool to, but in the end i like all of us, hawk238, and TheWall, so those are my favorite pilots.....
-
Joan Osterud. :)
-
Goon pilots....and I dont need to say why...
oops i forgot..and BgMAW (BigGuns)..cause he only flys a Spit 1 and removes ailerons and 1 elevator for me to come and and get the KILL!!!..He also de akks bases before i get there..:D
Of Course our many Marine Air Wing (MAW)Brothers..cause we all help each other kik your asses..or atleast die trying to....
Love BiGB
xoxo
-
I might add that I'm indebited to fellow squadies Apache and Lazs for overlooking my inability to live with any regularity when outnumbered by cons with altitude..
While they lay a swath of destruction..
Mothr we'll do seegars and cheap beer..
Cold cheap beer...in cans..
-
Squaddies, Ak's, BK's except lazs.
Nexx, actually everybody , except lazs
-
So many... My squadies... they are great!!!!
the BoP's (except PvtPyles cause he would gets to uppity if you complement him... )
Flossy MrGoon and those who are always ready to drop troops...
Blue Thunder guys... love getting blown out of the sky by them...
and many who have helped me and tried to teach me something about ACM... don't know if it will help me..

Look in the mirror GPreddy. If you looked up jerk in the dictionary, your picture would be next to it.
_____________________________ _______________________
Now back to the original question. I like flying with any of my squad mates. I like gunning for 999000 and I like following the MAWs around as they're always in the thick of it.
:cool:
-
When I was Bish I liked flying with waffle. We actually never flew together but would work on porking bases on a single front :) My favorite wingies are joker and Sean or FBjoker and FBouncer
-
Best guy to have around is RDRSlam in my opinion. His Vox chat is worth the entrance fee alone.
RDRSlam.
Now leave those useless Rooks and back to Knights with ya.
Hizakite is a cool chap too, wish he was online more often!
-
1) My squaddies....these guys are totally completely hilarious. If you have never heard hblair's 'Bama drawl, Milenko's dry humor, BigMax's play by play comments, Lizard3, Pongo, Estes, Wlfgng, Soda, SAR, pimpjoe, WALT (talk about a DRAWL....makes John Wayne sound like a dang Yankee) and the rest cutting each other down while blasting baddies off a squaddie's six....then you haven't lived yet.
2) Frenchy, Ammo, Sancho---Frenchy and I had some AWESOME fights right after the P-47's came out. I don't think I ever won one, but I was awed by his skill and wanted to get better. Figured if and when I ever beat him in a one on one that I had "arrived". Ammo, Sancho, Nomde, and Co. of the 56th FG Zemke's Wolfpack were incredibly patient with me while I flew with them. I think I was too much like Frenchy, I like to TnB in the Jug but I lack his skill, to stay too long.
3)Fester/Glue/Citabria---Win or lose, I always had a ball knocking heads with him. I've spent more time pirvate messaging back and forth with him than anyone else in the game. Hot headed for sure, but I still like him.
4)Leviathn and Drex---Too of the most awesome yet humble sticks in the game. Quick to pat ya on the back on the rare occasion when you win, quick to offer a salute when you lose to them.
5) AKNimitz and AKCurly---I've watched Nim move from a struggling newbie to someone who commands your respect anytime you meet him in the air. Same with Curly. BTW, Curly, next time I visit my folks we gotta get together for a sitdown session and a few beers! :p
6)sekiji and Urchin---fun as hell to fly with or against. Never had a dull engagement with either of the guys.
7) Last but certainly NOT least: Ghosth----Kinda like Lev and Drex, Ghosth is cool headed whether he wins or loses, and is just a pleasant person to visit with during the game.
-
I'd have to say Daddog just for the reason he never gets mad. He can get shot down and you'll hear him laugh and congratulate the victorious player...and he means it! He's psycho or something. It must be all that mountain air.
-
I find Leviathn impressive. AKAK too. I have a blast flying with Concho and Dink72. I enjoy flying with my squad in the CT and the 325th aswell. <
>
-
My awesome squadmates, to include some that are not squadmates any longer. Just because.
AKcurly. This is a very good man. Although he would not accept anything other than a thank you from me, he certainly deserves more.
I have alot of respect for the 332 Flying Mongrels, Daddog, Ghosth, Vader, etc.. These guys just want to have fun, no axes to grind, just want to have fun. In doing so they have served the AH community on several levels.
I also think alot of rude and thunder. Got to know thunder as a squaddie for a short time, and he is a top notch fella. Rude and I share some of the same convictions.
eddiek is included in my first nomination, but I feel obligated to mention him since he had such courteous words for myself, sancho and frenchy:D.
lazs. What you see is what you get. Its really hard for me not to like a guy like lazs. He has no hidden agenda, and he does not pull any punches.
-
We don't have one squad member who isn't fun to be around. All of the AKs are super guys. For me at least, Nimitz is my favorite wingman cuz he usually kills everything around. Sometimes he leaves cripples so I can kill them. :)
I flew jugs with Ammo's guys (56thFG) for an entire month. Man, let me tell you, they know how to keep a jug out of harms way and yet stay in the thick of things. If you want to learn something about the P47, get in one and follow Ammo/Nomde/Sancho/Frenchy around. They'll teach you something.
Rude's crew (13th TAS) may well be the most professional group in here. When you wing with them, there is zero BS and constant 6 calls. It's a pure pleasure to be near them. Watch how two of them corral an aggressive bad guy. I fly with Rude and Sax whenever the opportunity presents itself. Always instructive.
I enjoy flying with Busher's group (Hornets.) The Hornets do a lot of base capture and field defense. It's always interesting to watch other squads - generally, I learn something.
The 99s and AKs have gamed together for about 4 years now. I know of no better guy than 99capera.
The Assassins have flown Bishop a bit and Eddiek and Lizard3 are a hoot. Bigmax, Hblair and Regurge always have something to teach me, even when they're rook. :)
Ripsnort's group (MAG-33) are simply awesome. I know of no other squad that can take a base down as quickly as MAG-33. Best of all, they usually do in some unusual way. The only bad thing about flying with Rip is that if you get too close, the glare from his head will temporarily blind you.
The FDBs (skernsk/math/fatty ...) are fun to watch. However, if you are in TOD with them, fair warning, do not fly close to them. They are prone to target practice (themselves/you/anything handy). The FDBs are the only squad that I've seen that "accidentally" kill each other while on the hotpad.
Many of the MAWs will shoot your lights out. 40Dog and Ice both come to mind - they are pleasant and excellent opponents - as are most of the MAWs.
In a word, Drex. :) Drex is the best, hands down. If you haven't flown against drex, you're missing out. It doesn't matter what he is flying, he's better than you. A month or so ago, I was in a p47d11 around 12k with a friendly spit maybe 4k in front of me. I watched the spit approach an bad guy A20 and I thought "darn, he's gonna kill him before I get there." The A20 killed the spit in about 5 seconds and I eagerly jumped right in. I was reversed so fast, I ended up with my underwear on my head. Had I known it was Drex, I would have been more cautious and it would have taken him 10 seconds instead of 5. :)
I enjoyed flying against St.Santa, but alas, he's still locked up somewhere for comitting an public indecency on some poor, helpless girl's bicycle seat.
Old Torque was special too - I miss seeing him on a regular basis.
curly
-
I started making my list, but found out fast that it will be really, really long. Lot of good pilots and persons in AH.
-
I forgot alot of guys too....I knew when I posted that there would be too many and I would regret leaving those guys off.
I've flown in awdos, wb's and now AH over a span of 12 years....this community is probably the best of all three....overall, there is more talent combined with personality here than in the other two. They all had there moments, but like I said, AH just runs deeper imho.
Sorry I forgot ya Ammo:)
-
De Ol' Onz...one of the great squads from AW (even if they were stinky BZ) that made the leap to AH. One of the best strategic thinking squads out there whose philosophy is "the best defense is to go on the offense". I've seen them run some gutz missions. And they talk cool. ;)
-
Mine:
Squaddies first and foremost
Rude
Toad
EOD55
Karaya
Animal (because I love the Clockwork Orange banter)
lazs (because even though we disagree on alot of stuff I respect him for his convictions)
...and many more (sorry if I missed yah, but I'm busy)
-
really too many good sticks and sqds out there...but I always get juiced when I know the tas, or assassins, or 56th fg, or bks are in the area. They're all very talented, very deep. Work well together but can create on their own...and will make u look silly real quick if you aren't careful.
to the guys that make it worth the 14.95...
-

my thoughts exactly rude, talent level is highest here because it collected both groups.

Well I like ewe Lazer ;)
Tried is a close second .
Also any other PEE38 pile its.
Its because yall have a sexy arse....
-
First and foremost all my squaddies, Troxel, Emodin, Feenyx, Jeret, Ranger, DeaconB, et al. Some of us go back 12-13 years.
With that comes my favorite former squaddie till he was abducted by FDB's at last years con, something about an initiation ceremony.... I don't wanna know..... Anyway Mathman has been a good friend for a number of years now and that calls for a defection to bishland from time to time to wing up again.
Some of you AK characters are a good bunch to I suppose, eh Curly/Nim? ;)
I've had some memorable fights with Lazer, who used to just drive me nuts, but now....... I dunno... he's allmost ok... :D
Saw!!!!!!! Where you been lately?
I know I'm forgetting people but oh well. :)
-
*slap*
-
Too many to list! Besides my own squaddies, as a collective I like working with the AKs. Have done some great capture stuff with AKs - Curly, Zero, Wabbit, Wrong, Wire... whenever I see them, I know I can join in a team effort.
-
Dlamb, Because his voice is hot.
-
Ezee because he keeps my Squads rank in the respectable zone.
And of course all ex Air Warriors <> :D
-
My favorite pilot is the one who can get shot down by a newbie without feeling they have to lash back on the radio. There are still several of these mature pilots left in the game. Drex comes to mind. I like fighting some of the old handles in the game. Yeager, Rude, nopoop, hangtime, the FDB's, 13th TAS (many many others, these just came to mind right now).
I had a great fight with icemaw in KOTH the other night. When he died (I think he ran outa gas) he didn't whine like a kid who dropped his popsicle. He gave me a "nice fight man" on voice comms just like somebody would after losing a pool game to a friend.
My favorite pilot is the one with maturity and dignity.
So shut up you stupid hackers! :mad:
;)
-
Ok...
I have noticed 1 thing....The KOTH-TOD's and other scenarios are kick ass
You act differntly in these Arenas..I think its cause there is no Text Channel 1 going...
But For me you meet people on a more persoanl level...
1 example is the AK's.....i was new to AH ..few months ago...I joined the Marine Air Wing...I tagged along with them in AW..dam good folk..and work together very well...
40Dog said..coem on down..I said..Kik ASSS..Well of course I notice there is a Large Squad that seems to show up at the base we are attaking on Squad nights..!!!!! its the Arabian Knights!!!!...Our Mortal Enemy..I guess...(only squad I could recognize..cause of there handles)..But they always showed up in good numbers and have some good pilots...
Well when i fiannly started to get into the TOD's..one night the AK' s were on same side... It ws sweet..we worked together and kiked ass.....
So its funny..what your enemies in one arena are..the next arena ..your saving each others ass....
Also if you join the Dueling ladder or other scenarios you will meet people one on one...All my duels I have flown with good people...Sirloin-NOMAK-Wldthg_Fester-BiGMax-Frenchy and many others have all shown me that these are good folk and love the same thing you do...Kikn bellybutton in WW2 planes...Dam its fun...
one Guy///El Guapo...god he and the MAW's always are talkn toejam in the MA.....He had to fly escort for me in the Snapshot awhile ago..Finnaly heard his voice on range channel...THANK GOD..he wasnt some smart bellybutton young punk..(he said the same thing about me)..lolol (I did tell him to stay out of range from my B-17 guns...hehehe)
Its just cool to talk to your nme';s on voice..you can get an idea of there attitude and demeanor...
Of course My MAW brothers are on the top of my lists of Favorite (40-urb-Ice-AmReo-Muck-Ugly-BB-Des7-Corn-Crow-Painter-SS-Rasker-Tin-Uncle-Try2-RED-Slapy-jerze-Hitman-BiGGuns-Rajn-Beamer-Bloom-MaxQ-38-Tang0-TedGold-mars-Fork-Nate 0 cain......crap..and about 20 more MAW....
:).......but many of you guys are too ...EDIT..Hblair..you are a good 1 too..and your posts is also
Salute

Cobra,
I dont understand why you do not believe me. I sware, on that NOE mission, I did not auger, but rather a super-giant, mean-ugly ground worm-troll-like thingy-magigy jumped out of the ground and hate my plane.
Whats this got to do with hacking anyhow!?
Nim:p
-
My favorite Ah people:
First off:
Anybody who ever dropped smoke in front of me so I could sneak up on somebody.
But, to be specific..
Big salutes to:
all my squaddies in the DFA >S< ...
&
TopHat
Hatt50
Spectre
Hoagi
For being damn difficult to deal with whenever I'm rolling in a GV.
& lately
Tsser for teaching 109 humility
BURNM for throwing me into a fit everytime I see a 38
-
Lots of great guys in this game.
Lots of not-so-great too.
-
As for me there are so many who have helped me I couldnt begin to pick out any one, from the AK'S helping with 51 flying to bubbi109 helping with 109's to airmagedon squad with SA to 52nd and The Damned squad teaching me how to stay fast thanks to Coach and the several hundred that I cant even remember their names at this moment; I SALUTE YOU ALL.
If I ever become a good sim pilot it will be because of you all each and everyone.
-
Favorite pilots? Donno if that's a fair question. Like others have already said, my favorite is always the last guy who's shown such incredible incompetance that I've actually been able to shoot him down. (I typically find that these guys are usually AFK or drunk or both.)
Who do I RESPECT as both a pilot and an online personality? That's maybe a bit more of what the original question should have been.
- Hitech. Not only is he a good online pilot, he can make it work in real life also. As I found out when we fought in the air for real at a Fighter Pilots USA competition. And he's great to drink with too. (Don't let him buy you too many Kamakazi's if you're gonna be dueling at 5,000 feet by 8:00AM the next morning.)
- Drex. His praises have been sung already in this thread, but I've got no problem adding to them. I've been flying online combat sims since the early 90's and have simply never run across a better overall stick than him. There may be guys who are almost his equal in their favorite ride, but they'll still lose the majority of the time. Hell, he could be in a TBM and kill most guys in their favorite ride. His skill alone is worthy of anyones respect, but he's also just a good guy. Not a glory hound, friendly, honorable. (He probably doesn't remember it, but I'd been away from online sims for over a year and a half. Last thing I'd flown was WB in early 1999. I logged into WB, saw his name in the buffer and gave him a
. He immediately responded with an and the little catchphrase which I used in WB. The fact that he remembered me, by no means a remarkable or noteworthy pilot, drew me right back into this community and made me realize why the truly GOOD guys don't ever need to toot their own horn.)
More to come later. :)
-
I like all of the little people :D
-
I like Mathman. He's not afraid to admit that he eats poop.
-
there are a few top notch pilots out there that are also cool dude's. Manx, KEV367th, ICEMAW, Frenchy, and a few others, there are also good pilots who are prettythangHOLES, but I will not name them.
Mooooooooooooooooooooo
-
lol Raub, Mathman has a sexy voice too.. Not quite as nice as dlambs though.. :(
-
I nominate my wingie, PNUS, cause you can't have CLAP without him, only half as infective...er effective. And I just love the way he manages to get me killed bailing his sorry butt out of one scrape or another while he manages to ditch and leave me holding the bag. Thats my boy....
