creton is a great stick, in a 109 he may be one of the very best, but overall he doesnt match up to airvent, or balsy, blukitty, leviathn...to name but a few. even little me can beat snot out of creton in a spit5 or certain other planes no problem. in a 109 i couldnt touch him for aim and E management.
there are E fighters that are the very best of one on one sticks, DA setup standard stuff.
what makes the best pilot for me are those who never gloat, never demand DA to prove a point, these pilots kick the crap out of you, me, and creton in the random style fighting of the main arenas.
those are the players that dont even come into these threads and they are the true gods of ACM.
there is a difference between being 'the best' in the DA environment simply because you 'love to be the best and always win' and being 'the best' by everything about you passion for dogfighting.
two types of 'the best'. despite the generous offers in people's lists i am not in the top level as far as i care.
Those who fight with a clear passion and love of air combat, and the friends you can make who love it the same as the next man here, mean 100 times more to me than those who just get really good at dueling tech and can beat me one on one.
creton would love to be 'the best' it would make him real satisfied i wish him good luck.
