Who's the best BOP pilot you've met in the skies?

Agreed, first time i saw edal in that thing i was like "Does he want to lose?" and then low and behold he swings the thing round and sticks me face first into the dirt.

But i did eventually manage to figure out a way to shoot him down

And just like trk said, Edal has never from what i have seen crashed intentionally

you know, heat of battle and all that

On the intentional crashing thing, it really is my belief that there are very few left (in sim or realistic at least) that do it on purpose. Sure, during a match when things get hot and heavy it's very easy to accuse someone of doing it particularly when you've spent the better part of 3 minutes or so trying to take them down (I've been guilty of yelling "crasher!" a time or two) , but when I think about it I know there have been several occasions when I've augured in after having my control surfaces shot to hell and it probably appeared it was intentional.

I remember becoming a lawn dart thinking to myself "Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm trying to hold it up!" more than a couple of times.

Awww thanks mate *blushes*

I'm going to get back into it more these days (yes, despite MW2) if you fancy double-teaming some more unsuspecting victims...?

PS3 sorts by "level" which seems to go up everytime your star score reaches a certain value.



Sorry, I can't suggest a "best" player. I know there's a lot of names when I think "oh no", but I can't remember them (my memory is not exactly enhanced when I play, if you know what I mean).

So far edal has been the toughest to beat 1 on 1 cause he hardly ever makes mistakes. I managed to down his fw190 with yak-3 but only barely, 2 deaths to 1. 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"

Also, thanks for the compliments

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!)

[haitch40]

one word
edal
i know im crap at sime but with me flying a spit ix and him in a p47 he still beats me and shoots me often

[olife]

in sim edal is really the best in my opinion
an other guy is very good:mage_016
dedecuistot and dinoh 28 are very good with the guns in turret with the heavy bomber

Well I have had a lot if fun on this game over the last few weeks. Maiinly in arcade mode on PS3
Met a lot of great players, winny1973, zeroptimis, shinigamidragoon to name a few. I think I played Pedro once or twice. I think best player was ratman911. Great host and a good guy to play with
