i guess i need to start going to the DA, my problem is when I'm in a fighter is not know when or when not to dive into a fight, or trying to get the plane to do something its just not capable of doing which always ends up in me dying  :headscratch:  I don't care about "rank" but i do want to improve greatly and hopefully someday be thought of as a great stick, I'm good but theres so much room to improve and like i said i wanna learn better ACM and SA, all the 1v1 i find myself in is a 50/50 chance either i die or win, provided no one tries to cherrypick who I'm fighting or me  :headscratch:

I have not been around too much to know all the pilots mentioned earlier, and I never flew much in MA either..
But the names of good sticks that pops up in my mind is Agent360, Bentnail, Spacy, EAce, Fiat, Pervert and Nrshida. The list should be much longer, but atleast I've put in a few more names that should not be forgotten..  :salute

Wilbuz & KillnU for introducing me to how devastating & scrappy the ki-84 can be in skilled & determined hands :D
Bruv119 Kazaa Batfink(kazaa probably best stick in the game at the moment)

a couple of the muppets obviously as they've always been my choice opposition
sunsfan agent360 skyrock always turned up for fun fights vs them kay-fizzles grizz & moot for flying that annoying tata thing I can never see if it's coming at me or what direction its going.

I haven't played for a while so I probably don't remember all the names of my most encountered villains.



oh and just thought i'd put in a dishonourable mention for these two guys who have never given me an even remotely interesting fight:

Top Overall Ranking – Hoagi, runner-up pacerr

Probably the two worst & pathetic nonfighting sticks with the best ranking in the game... huzzahh!

Im gonna have to disagree. Although kazaa is a beast. But it really is a toss up of a few players. Kazaa has great ACMs SA. Grizz is the master of finding the angle. You show him the slightest bit of an angle you are a dead man. His aim is the best ive ever seen.


And this whole Levi and Drex deal. well, theryre not here are they? Long gone and most likely wont be back. So that says enough for me. They were unreal in the day. But this isnt yesterday, its now and tomorrow.


Here is a list of players i love fighting.

most of the muppets
most of the 80th ladies  :neener:
Kazaa
bruv
Dedalos and i have had some great fights
Batfink
JB11

The thing is, there's a group of pilots who are able to kill one another based on the setup and shots each miss.  It's tough to find out who is truly 'better' between pilots who are so close.  You'd honestly have to fight many many fights in many different aircraft spanning over many dueling sessions and tally the results.  It's like a poker match, playing 10 hands and then tallying who won more money isn't an indication on who the better player is.  You have to play tens of thousands of hands before the edge is exposed.  I think you'd honestly have to duel a guy in excess of 100 duels in various aircrafts to figure out who is 'better' when it comes to elite sticks.  It doesn't matter though, once you get to a certain point it's all in fun and it doesn't matter as long as you get the competitive juices flowing and each guy wins his fair share.

I still seemed to be overlooked here, I've been able to beat quite a couple of people there, and multipule times to boot. I have quite a few KOTH wins under my belt, only time I don't win now is because I am not there to finish the whole thing, and even then I still come out with a win or a be a wabbit. Everytime I'm there at KOTH to finish it I win. Anytime someone wants me to prove it, I would be glad to.



Well, there must be a reason no-one mentioned you. I don't run into you so you may very well be the terror of the skies but to mention/nominate yourself is really really funny to me   :lol    :aok

Well put, which is why I'll usually say Drex and Levi (they ARE in a class all by themselves), then everyone else.   It isn't a "slam" on anyone who is a great stick.  It is the bold quote above which has a few people scrambling for 3rd and the rest of say...the top 10.   ANYONE from 3rd to 10th could whip each other's arse, but then have a complete outcome every time.    

Again, excellent summary Grizz.   :rock

exactly what i said before. There isnt a best. you can be beat on any give day by anyone. You have great sticks, good, ok and learning. but no one is the best.

Do you not think Wilbuz falls under Godlike status with Levi and Drex?

Never wanted to mention myself as a candidate. 16 pages and no mentions?

Maybe people don't hold you in high enough esteem as you seemed to hold yourself.  Just sayin'.

I've never come across some "as consistent" as those two Kazaa.   Sure they're going to "not land at times", but I don't know of many folks that dogfight with bombs attached to their planes and still land 5+ kills (Drex).  

Greebo is the closest "consistent" person to them IMO.

So, are you saying Wilbuz wasn't consistent? I'm not sure how it answers Kazaa's question.
He was pretty consistently outnumbered yet annoying the hell out of opposition every time I've seen him.
