Yea he's a good pilot, too bad he's a cock though. Had a shed load of abusive and childish voice messages from him a few weeks ago. He deliberately crashes a lot too when your on his ass (not sure if he still does that now though). Total prick IMO

i only fly the 109 series. mostly i use the g-6 or the g-10. i have alot if success in these planes IF i stay out of the turn fights. playing 1v1 is suicide if the opponent is flying a spit or la, so i try to avoid those games. however if theres alot of people playing i try to single out one opponent and dive on him. or just make passes over the furball for quick snapshots and then zoom.

even when i make passes i try to never do a turn, instead i climb away and do an immelmann och dive back down. sometimes it clicks really well and its so fun and you feel like a true bird of prey diving down on someones six and finishing him in one burst and then disappear.

this tactic only works good in sim mode though when the opponents cant see you all the time.

i can't fly the spit to save my life and the La-series is ok. i've been totally dominated by guys like ancient seraph and morgoth in their spits and those times its hard to see any flaws in that plane even though the pilot matters the most . but when i try the spit i just cant manouver. the firepower is stunning but i stall whenever i try to turn. tried to lower the sensitivity etc but to no avail.

This is odd. I've been flying with Mirgergin for weeks, and I have to say he's one guy I trust to hold up his plane as long as it can fly, in order to allow you to get the kill. He's always been fairly soft-spoken and cordial except in one case where a dude was being a real jerk and we were all (collectively) telling him where to go.

Then again, we can all have bad days, I guess. I was just surprised to read this. In my experience, he's a top-notch pilot, and a good guy too.

Sounds like he was just having a bad day then. Although I don't think I've heard someone swear in one voice message as much as he did lol

Just flew with the guy. At the very least he doesn't make an effort to stay in the air. Not the most sporty type though. Maybe he had a good day when you were flying with him . Hell of a pilot though, can't deny that.
