I had endless trouble with his mc202 because of its turn radius, finally I figured out how to beat it though it still takes maximum effort and only with a faster/better climbing plane.

Other than edal the toughest opponent I've met in kills-only scoring is maninovka, and the best shot I've seen is Cosmo79 who I don't think has posted on this forum. Dinho also has a vicious attack. I've sent links to the tournament thread to several people but not all will be able to read it unfortunately.

<> about the ps3 scoring system, if you notice some people have 3 times as many kills as someone ranked higher up, so at least it's not just about the kills. One time I played an even match against a lower-ranked opponent, and I checked the board and my rank had instantly dropped 3 places.
I think the accuracy rating may have something to do with it too. Maybe the devs are just sitting there watching people play, and then adjusting their rank.

Thanks for telling other people about the tournament

Any sim ps3 players that have not yet joined please check out the sticky thread "Ace of Aces PS3 Tournament"

I'm pretty sure its down to accuracy... I'm second on the Team Battle board (or was last time i checked) and I have far less kills, and less matches, then the people below me. I do have a higher accuracy though (Don't know how, because I can't hit the broadside of a barn!)

All u guys playing arcade and realistic should really come up to sim; I'm pretty sure there are some great pilots "hiding" in there somewhere (jk ).

I kno sim looks like a b*** when trying to look around having to find targets, but trust me it aint that hard, when u get use to using the map alot and can fly ur plane while looking elswhere, its much more fun (imo) and brings the game to a whole new level in terms of control and strategy (especially stratwise: no way to hide with the target view in realistic). You'll get shot down alot at first but pretty much every guy im playin against in sim are very supportive and will provide different tips and advices so you get the hang of it faster.

Any of u guys want to add me i'll be glad to give you "practice runs" - not like im as good as edal by any stretch of the imagination - but i think i can give any sim newcomer some helpfull advices and pratice different manoeuvers.
psn: philabong2

cheers

I would "move up" to realistic and sim if I had a stick but im stuck with the 360 controller and the subtle movements required for competent flying just are not possible for me.

However I am seriously considering the new PC game version (WoP) since I already have everything I require for it. So expect to see me at some point come screaming out the clouds, pounding some lead in to the opposition.
