(sorry for the hijack Pyro, why I moved it here)
Take 50 H2H pilots (the best they have) and fight them vs. 50 MA pilots (the best we have) in a huge furball.
What would the results be?
How many MA people ya' think would die before all the H2H people were shot down?
I personally think it would be a slaughter, as large furballs are common in the MA but basically unknown in H2H (limited to 8 people) Add to that the calibre of pilot is way, WAY higher in the MA vs. H2H.
Do ya's think the H2H pilots would stand a chance?
Would their lack of fighting more than 3-5 opponents at a time in H2H be as large a handicap as I personally think it would be?
hmmm....
First of all: the MA pilots would win. No doubt can exist about this. And those who have flown in both know this very well.
In second place, many of you proposed various handicap to level the odds. There is only 1 thing to do, to make it so: fight a 4 vs 4 furball. For the best H2H stick, the only really big handicap is SA. Fly 4 vs 4 and you'll have a really interesting fight, and maybe, to some of you, surprising (even though, I repeat it, MA pilots would win).
As for the top MA pilots, I've seen some of you mentioned people who doesn't fly anymore (at least, as far as I know), so I'm very surprised that no one thought about some on the most dreadful and dangerous I've ever seen, like:
Leviathn
Nomak
Furball
Morpheus
Sniper68
or other nasty opponents like
Biggles
Schatzi
Raptor
AKRaven
and so on... even if the first 3 names on the list are the really big gap.
Btw, in a 50 vs 50, I'd probably do like Croduh and join the ol' h2h crowd (even though, now, there is almost no one left of the ones I flew with).
EDIT: oh, I forgot. I'd really like to see this. Please, HTC, can you arrange it?
