he's the guy I respect.

score doesnt' mean squat IMO

Score doesn't mean squat? And yet endlessly upping at a capped base (base defense) earns your respect?

Most of us select a way to have fun. Some of us (not me) set goals and try to achieve them. For example, how about Cuckoo's accomplishment of finishing #1 in each category? Or many tours back, how about Ypsilon's accomplishment of completing a tour with more than 100 kills without dying/ditching one time.

I think "respect" is the wrong word, or at least I don't think it should be used to describe the emotions associated with a game. How about "admiration" (as in 'holy toejam, did you see what he did?')

Most of you are trying to make your game play sound admirable and at the same time, you're busy piling ashes on folks who set goals.

I admire Cuckoo's and Ypsilon's accomplishments. I love idiots who will up a vulched field. But respect? Hmmm, reminds me of Monica's last spoken words in the oval orifice "But Mr. President, will you still respect me in the morning?" I'm sure the Prez said "sure." A more honest answer would have been "I have never respected you, but I admire the crap out of you."

Bah! Whiney butts.

I could club baby seals all day and have the most uber score out there... I still wouldn't be that good.

You guys love to point to items not entered into evidence. Where have I ever stated that I was any better than anyone else? Where? Nowhere…..

The amazing thing is that you guys can’t imagine someone generating a good K/D without assuming that he’s killing noobs or vulching? Well, you’re wrong. Ever go fishing and wonder why some other guys fill their catch tank and you don’t? It’s because the other guy knows where the fish are, and uses the proper bait.

The best pilot in this game is Cuckoo, by leaps and bounds. Sure, he games the game some, but guess what? He’s figured out where the fish are and he fills his boat. There’s no doubt that he’s not the most skilled pilot, but that doesn’t matter much if you’re not where the fish are, does it? I dumped on Cuckoo for what I saw as “gaming”, but I was wrong. Cuckoo has figured out how to get to #1 and he does it. Furthermore, I’ve apologized to Cuckoo for maligning him.

I remember someone specifically telling me that my K/D was meaningless because my K/T and K/S were low. Now that I’ve got those up with the best, I’m told that I must be “clubbing baby seals”. Sheesh…..

Now, if it’s so easy to generate my scores, then I challenge you ladies to go ahead and do it! If you won’t or can’t, then STFU! And, if you can, it’s meaningless anyway…Right?

You guys crack me up…..

Cripes, you could write a psych thesis on the reasoning displayed on this board.....

My regards,

Widewing

You sure did! First one was when I was up in a C-Hog for the first time. We had a really long and tough fight, which you won. I recall we had a pleasant discussion afterward. It's always a pleasure be be shot down by a gentleman.

My regards,

Widewing

Scores are always meaningless, they are no indication of skill, ability, or otherwise knowledge of air combat manuevers.

If score was any indication of abilities, those guys ranked... whatever... would join a dueling ladder and be #1 there too.
But they don't, and if they did, they wouldn't be.

I never said you thought you were the best pilot based on scores, I did say your ego is too big since scores are no foundation for basing skill on.

The good guys can and will go into a fight at a disadvantage and win. Or they be outnumbered, outgunned, and still deal the enemy a severe blow.

Score is relative to what you fight, where you fight, how you fight, what you fight in... skill is something that can't be derived from a number, or turned into one.

See now there's an inherant problem is asking people who they think is the best. Besides opinion......someone, like Rip for example, will suggest that ego ridden loud mouths should be counted out......but the pilots who dont shout their mouths off occasionally are the ones that dont get noticed and therefore aren't even thought of.

Aces High is full of real good sticks.....that just dont fly often and when they do they're like the grey man.

P.S. Wholeheartedly agree with Whels being the absolute best bar none in a tank battle.

Sheez.......hmmm, let me think......ohh, I know where the good pilots are.

Reputation is earned in combat not on stat sheets or the text buffer…

When your plane is going down in a fireball do you really care what the guys kill ratio is????

In AW we once had a huge discussion on a similar topic. You know who won the “best pilot award” hands down and deservedly so?? Goaly—a c47 goon pilot that quietly went about re-supplying BZ land bases… Just a couple of nights ago I saw him flying low in a c47 re-supplying Knight land. ‘Nough said…
