He flew it 'right', but I think there are several better at turning it, at least from my experiences. But it's relative to what I consider better.
I've found there are 3 general types of fighting:
1. Those who fly timidly, extending at the slightest loss of an E advantage, usually reversing when they have friends.
2. Those who fly somewhat aggressively, utilizing their planes strengths without playing into the hands of their enemy's strengths, extending when they lose offensive options.
3. Those who fly aggressively, fighting the other plane's fight, trying to win in ways the plane shouldn't.
Which makes the 'best' cartoon pilot? Is it the guy that flies like #2, which is the probably the smartest way to fly? Or is it the guy that flies like #3, which takes fancy ACMs, good coordination, and some luck?
Personally, I've found #3 to be more fun. It was that way for me back in AW too. I also really enjoy fighting the guys that fight the #3 method as well.
Well put. Cant really classify them any better than that. I would have to say that you cant really knock anyone for using any of these styles.
Number one is the only one you can really fault someone for, but can you really fault them? It's almost guaranteed they fly that way because they do not have the skill level to fly any more aggressively and survive. Then you have to ask how long have they played? If they are brand new, then they are flying wisely at their level but their fear of dying is going to hinder their rapid skill improvement.
3 is definitely more fun.
