The top two guys in arcade team battle at the moment on the 360.

I've flown against both of them and unlike my usual easy kill prey, I really have to fly hard..... then again, so do they.

Needless to say, the full vocabulary of dogfight aerobatics, all of which are impossible to perform in realsitic or simulator until the patch comes out, are explored to the full.

Such matches usually end in no kills for either of us and a few crashes.

Out of the two, Erzon Jager (Germany) is probally the best pilot I've flown against, as he seems to knows all the classic dogfight moves and traps.

Managing to shoot down Erzon Jager is a hard won achievement for anyone.

There are a few good pilots from BSP that would do well on BOP, if they would only buy the game.

This one's easy.

even though we both refuse to play the game again until we see the light of the patch... Deadpreacherr was my arch nemesis. He could shoot my Goat ass out of the sky by blinking his eye.

ChankyChank would be a close second.

i have it pretty much tied up between edal86 and xxxsilencexxx, givin a edje to edal cause he flies in the worst planes imaginable imo, and still kicks asses.

what does suck tho is these guys are pretty much the only ones i seem to run into online, in 1 vs 1 battles on top of that cause there's hardly any1 else around. Its great cause these are nice fellows and gives me some well needed practice, but it must feel like a turkey shoot for them (well it does for me where im playin the role of the turkey).

But i feel like im gettin there slowly, managed a few kills in the last few games, compared to when i couldnt even see the enemy when i started playin the game a few weeks ago...

If its CTA then tudorp is a swine for getting you on the ground, he's mastered it!! In a dogfight, the few games i've had its close between Morgoth and seraph, they work well together so you can't really compliment one more than the other, its gauranteed if your chasing one you have to make your shots count because if you take to long then your in a world of hurt because his wingman will pick you up!!

Without wishing to sound harsh on anyone though -

i've come across alot of "good players" in arcade who can beat me hands down, they know arcade very well and can get me everytime practically, truth is i just cant do it! But get them in realistic or sim then its a whole different ball game, they struggle and make easy prey. They seem to have a game then go back to arcade, like they are scared to keep trying it out on realistic/sim. I have no time for these really, its not very skillful down their.

A good wingman for me is robotic pope also, not sure why exactly but we seem to know how each other flies so can help one another when needed, and when theirs a big furball gonig on in sim mode, you seem to "know" like instinct or somethnig which plane is pope, or he'll know which is me. We work well together, but when against each other.... its trouble because we just go round in circles lol.

Edal86 for sure. SubaruGaz was pretty good when I played with him, granted I had just gotten the game. He kicked my ass like 9-0 or something around there Haven't played with him for a while though.

Yeah, haven't been on BOP in a while. but dont worry i will be back in the skys quite soon, so dont hesitate to ask me to fly if you see me online

Best pilots ive flown with have got to be Edal86, i respect him a great deal as he know exactly what he is doing all of the time, what makes this guy so special is as soon as you make one wrong move however little it may be hes gonna be on your ass.

xX-SiLeNCE-Xx also a very respectful pilot and have had quite afew moments where he is stuck on my tail.

But without adding everyones name on the list, i will say that everyone who ive flown against are definately Great sports!

Something like that, yes. If you buy a year's worth of Live that is. You can also buy Live for smaller periods of time, but it gets more expensive per day (i.e. it's cheaper to buy 1 year instead of 4x3 months).
