I admire the guy that sticks to a middle of the road plane, something that doesnt have canons that take your wing off in 3 pings, something that's not ubber turner or ubber climber or ubber runner.

I dont have names. Who often flies a G6 for example. Or Akak in a P38. Lazer too.Hollywood, Oaktree, B2B all P47 dudes that I fight /fly with from time to time. I know Ammo is a squadie butI respect his stuff. Even in a D11 he will give you a fight. I guess I respect the likes of me. I fly a P47 because I love the machine, knowing its not glorious but I do my best with it. If I get shot down, so be it. Theres so much you can do in a P47.

Behavior is important. You can win 1 vs 5 in a Spit8 and Ill fail to be impress if all you do is run your mouth on 200.

So basically it's how you play ... what you fly and how a gentleman you are in and outside AH. It's my view, no hard feelings for the ones that love to buzz around furballs in D9 or win a turnfight in a KI84 and spread the cheese. To each is own.

I admire skinners first and foremost.  That is one hell of a tough job, believe me I know.

Then it is guys like BigR and some others who take the time to show a noob how things work.   I can't tell you how many times BigR has started fighting me when we are on the same side just to give me something to learn while we are CAPing a field waiting for Goons...

I also admire all of the guys in my squadron. We have a great time.  Always laugh.  And there is never a lack of helpful advice when it is sought out.

I am trying.  Being surrounded by positive influences within my squadron (along with guys like BigR and the 4th FG folks who take me along as a wingman now and then) sure helps.

BigR is absolutely a great guy by any measure.   To ride in the cockpit and watch him go after LA-7s on the deck from a disadvantage in a Pony and win....whew.

Well said. The exception I think would be Bomber hunters. When Im in 26s, 17s, 24s,KI-67s...ect I have no problem with facing guys with BFGs cause I would want one to. Otherwise There are so many 15 to 30 eny planes just waiting for someone competent to jump into them.

Last night I saw Latrobe fly a K4 right over the water into about 5 opponents while he was on his own. Theres a small group of players, whose names I wont mention, who do this kinda stuff and its just beautiful how they can bring out the best of an aircraft against multiple opponents. Maybe not with victory measured in perk points ; But "victory" measured with skilled flying. Against impossible odds they will stay alive, even scratching a kill or two, or three. How they keep that fighter plane maneuvering and alive is just beyond me while also keeping such a high level of S/A. The night before I saw someone in a KI-64 do almost the same tho I dont know who it was.

Its for this why I dont pick or at least ask permission before doing so. Because watching a truly skilled player is a pleasure in itself. And in an era of 5 eny B@Z'ers its even more of an enjoyment.

Often perk points dont mean a successful sortie. Often just flying well against skilled opponents brings its own "greater" reward.
Latrobe is crazy. .period  :devil :D
