No he was never cheating He's good enough in a E-4 against Hurricanes and Spitfires and he's a great shot. He's definitely not average on co-E and he happens to be much better than 95 percent of the ATAG 109 jockeys, but against these duel specialists, he would struggle. That's something completely different. BTW He tried Hurricane, too, got his bottom kicked badly and switched back to E-4 There is a good reason for that lol. But cheater is he not. Some of these Russian guys like to do a bit of modem kicking if you get behind them (you know who you are, shame on you, you and you too! ), but never got that with MK boys. I had few good fights with Mk.X and I lost some, won some and some he ran away (which is sort of victory for RAF, innit?). He's just a good pilot in a good aeroplane.

As for the duels - good stuff, Ataros, thanks for posting.

*edit* after watching the 1st fight, Mr.X actually flew very well

In this game until it is possible to use cheats. For it we have it and love.In Russia there is a lot of really strong pilots, but in BoB until fly single one of them.

Yeah I agree re MrX - he's a good pilot, and most importantly he's a very good shot, and in the E4 he has cannons to use. Last night I was on the tail of a 110 on ATAG, had put several bursts into him and was closing for the kill, I hear the whine of a 109 and just before I could break away, a single burst of cannon fire from MrX destroyed by engine. The cannons are a HUGE advantage to a 109 pilot who is a good shot - if he can make his first pass count, and get good hits on, more times than not he will get the kill on the first pass - MrX is very good at this.

It's nearly impossible to do the same in the brit planes - it's tough to handle, but it's histoprically accurate so while its annoying, I dont mind it. Just have to always fly with a wingman watching your six!

As long it is possible to use MODs, it is possible to use cheats

In Russia, there is lots of great pilots and lots of cheaters, too. These duels are especially popular in Russia and many guys are amazing at 1 vs 1 in the same plane. There are many strong pilots outside Russia, too. The thing is duels and tournaments are perhaps not as big as in Russia. Just my observation...

Ataros - thanks for vids - not bad, but some of the previous duels showed some much better skill imho - too many spins especially in a Hurricane fights. But I know how this feels - people are nervous, adrenaline pumps in Nice tournament, congrats on the event and cheers for sharing it here!

Yes, they made arrows showing merge direction but I have no idea what is the object that they used.

I hope the next championship is expanded to include international participants. Maybe some people from this forums would want to join the organisers team as organisers, judges, commenters or streamers to make it happen.

I think 2x2 and 4x4 formats are coming in future too.

Is that a chick pilot I hear on comms? Go Girl get some! haha

This girl is a very strong pilot). I participated in this tournament, she did not participate. I lost a duel with her about 8-2.
