we have fought a few times...you were mostly in JUG me KI so its an unfair fight....but we never fought in DA
I should have put you on the list of "in a particular airframe" because you are one of the best I have seen in the JUG 


Weird. Of all the planes I fly, I think the P47 is the one I fly least (but have been jumping in it a lot more recently). I think I do better in my 109s or even P38.

While I am very average (at best), and am quite comfortable with my perpetual mediocrity, let me throw a few out there (past and present) from the AKs who I think deserve mention:

AKDogg - gone from the game but not forgotten...I never flew with him but he killed me often enough in my prior "incarnations"...deadly in the hog.

AKRaven - "I hates him.  I hates the Raven!"  Great guy and damn good pilot...

Throwing in for non-AKer Latrobe. Also Messiah....BnZer he may be but he is deadly, damn his eyes.  :)

Finally...how about Who/Midway?!   :bolt:

*grin* yes...I was kidding about the last one....tho' he isn't bad so its really not me trollin'.  Better then me in a knife fight, I'll admit...but hell just about everyone is so that doesn't count or put him in the league with these guys.
Going by "Hoplite" now. :)

There's a good one. He was up there with Gizz at one time.  Whatever happened to him? He was here a couple years ago.
Fear? You bet your life...but that all leaves you as you reach combat. Then there's a sense of great excitement, a thrill you can't duplicate anywhere...it's actually fun. Yes, I think it is the most exciting fun in the world. — Lt. Col. Robert B. "Westy" Westbrook, USAAF 6/<--lol@mod

My understanding is he retired from the game.  He did fly FSO a few months back with the AKs...but that was a one time thing.  I personally thank him not for his skill (which was great), but his sound pack.  :)

WingZero was probably the best dedicated Niki pilot I ran into.
Domin and Mitsu were/are very good Ki84 pilots.

really :headscratch:

I can not say the same by any means.....

no not at all....everyone of those guys are exceptional at fighting....now I am not saying none have HOed but just not my experience with them. :salute

he's right ink most of those guys werent known for actually fighting, but more like picking, grizz is a good example, great player but most of his kills were just picks.  he was a regular guy at waiting just outside of the base and taking out those low and slow and whine if it was the other way around or flying around in his 262 picking people.  the exception to your list are mtman, 2cmex, shawk and scotch.  agent was a good fighter but an even better fun fighter.  some of those guys I dont remember fighting on a regular basis but the one's I did mention were great.

there's others who are really good cobias is a good example and a couple of other p38 players that I cant remember the name.

I think he's pretty close to having a stroke right now because he can't post in this thread.

Anyone who stays and fights is a "fighter" in my eyes.  :salute to those who didn't run from a 1v1.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.
