Speaking Sir.  I am terrible at chest-thumping Sir, so bear with me.  I may have a few peers in the MA's for my WW & Osti gunning, but very few.   :devil

Not doubting your abilities in an Osti, but the best evar ... Zazen ... followed closely by Karaya. Back in the day there were a couple of LTARs (names escape me) that were extremely deadly.

Not even close. Any of the LTARS back then where far better than the two you just mentioned.

You must care because you took the time to comment on it.  :salute

Same old story. Devils accused of taking undefended base.
Just this month alone  Devils combined got killed almost 3500 times taking undefended bases and have almost 3381 kills taking undefended bases.. They must be giving out kills for shooting down base ack these days.
Undefended bases? Thats funny...

Again, I wish you much success in the future.. Guys like yourself have to have somebody to rag on. It might as well be us.. We enjoy playing the game. Thats all that really matters.. Its kind of fun being one of the most hated groups in this cartoon airplane world...

Dang Vonn, you had to go to the history channel for that one.. This game has changed so much even since 2009... Back then a wirble could sneak into a town and take it by himself..

Slapshot, Zazen is the master.  End of story.  I learned my basics by reading his writeups.  Karaya is a bud and I have never seen him in one,  I'll have to ask him sometime.

  Sorry dude, when I used to fly over a base I never heard warnings that "zazen was there, watch out". LTARs on the other hand? YES..........

I always felt it was the quantity of LTAR's that were dangerous not the quality. :aok 
Zazen however, was good enough to learn from.  I can't speak to his level of impact in the arenas.  There are no others in my experience that offered up the level of instruction he did.  I remember reading his writeups over 3+ years ago.

I was around back in the day when the LTARs first formed their squad and no doubt, they had/have some fine marksmens sitting in Ostwinds. If you were attacking a field and the LTARs came pouring out of the VH before you got it down ... things weren't going to work out well for you.

On the other hand, I have seen Zazen single-handedly clear a vulch cap of 10+ or more ... in either an Ostwind or a field gun. When I knew that Zazen was in an Osti or a field gun, I would have no problem lifting from a capped field and could only hope that someone would try to swoop in and shoot me.

I am in no way trying to minimize any of the hotshot LTARs ... I have seen and been shot by them all in the past 9+ years ... I'm just telling you who the master is.

Jam ... have you ever flown into and area and heard ... "Drex was there, watch out"

A Big  :salute to all of you guys that take the time to teach others. Yes there were times when we did have quantity but we also had many of the best AA guners in the game on one squad because we taught each other these skills. Some were much better than others but LTARsqrl, LTARmoil, Ltaraptr were very good to name a few. There were other greats and my apologies if I missed you but it wasn't because of numbers. LTARs did possess mad GV skills believe it or not. I will give other players their due by saying that there are players who are better individually (non-LTARs) but our strength was in our teamwork.  :cheers:

By the way Rogue, my above comments were not meant as a slam.  Individual skills at a high level are great, but what makes me successful is the Pigs around me.  Know what I mean?
