As many have have stated, Mirgervin is either the best of the best, or one of. There's only one guy I knew who could give him a run for his money 1v1, but he's since retired.

I once managed to keep my view on him as he manouvered onto my 6 from a head to head, and you might notice he always turns upwards. He does a kind of stall turn thing then uses acceleration and your turn against you. I found the best tactic was to use my spit's superior firepower against him in a head to head then try and make enough distance to turn for another head to head. Needless to say it wasn't hugely successful.

Also, on the few occasions I have shot him down, more often than not, kills don't register on him and it counts as a crash (even after the patch). Also, re: screen size, he says he plays on a crappy smallish screen.

EDIT: apologies to SubaruGaz - I didn't realise you could beat him also, just like I didn't realise this thread had 2 pages before I posted lol

Migervin isn't that unbeatable and you guys give him far too much credit. Plus he ran away from the xbox guys for easier targets on the PS3...............lol

I'm suprised Branko. I met him for the first time last night in a game with Ratman and found him to be a decent bloke. Was a good dogfight too with plenty of good kills by all so I'm suprised you state he was insulting.

He and "SHADOWCORP" are strong supporters that ME and the B-17 we dont belong here but i give a damm F**K what they think !!!

MIGHT SOMEBODY CAN BUY FOR "SHADOWCORP" SOME ROCKETS SO HE CAN AD THIS NONSENSE TO HIS "HIT & RUN" BIRD ???
Hey Branko,
sadly that's what the 262 was designed to do and is the only aircraft in the game that is capable of such long distance or hit and run kills. And to be honest as Shadow uses it as such and is damn useful at it I've got to respect the guy for doing so. Shadow is also a great bloke and and one of the fairest players I know so again I'm shocked that you feel this way??

Er.. Me 262 = B-17 killer..
you can't complain about people using 262's in the same forum where you've had a go at someone for telling you not to use a B-17, because that's hypocrisy.

It's one of the risks of flying a bomber.. If you see a 262 it'll soon be over.

I'm confused now Branko. Are we talking about rockets here or the Me 262? As the 262 doesn't have rockets as an option in the game I don't see how we can discuss the two in the same sentence. Winny, McKinney and I took B17's into game where McQ and Shadow flew 262's. Having not had the pleasure of flying against a 262 in realistic I thought it would be similar to when a piston tries to down you and sadly doesn't even get close. What was a shock was the range at which the 262's cannons are effective and the speed at which it can close distance. Both McQ and Shadow flew them exactly as they would have been in real life with some nice and devastingly effective BnZ tactics. I therefore don't see or personally have any issue with anyone flying a 262. And whilst I agree rockets are cheap, sadly I don't think you or I will get anywhere by just stating our dislike of them on here. No matter what they'll always be in the game and as such people will use them. As has previously been stated to be effective they have to be point blank which not many people are capable of getting to. Most of the times I have been downed by rockets it has been due to lucky shots rather than any skill level and as such I have given up worrying about them. As they are a fixed trajectory it isn't that difficult to take avoiding action to avoid them. It is a pity none of the german planes have them as armament options as this would certainly make the game more real but we have to live with what was provided within the game and as such think we just have to make the best of it. All in all I'll respect anyone who can down using guns over rockets but they're always going to be there and so it's not worth crying over spilt milk. There are also those who are able to just look at a bomber and the thing falls to bits so do we start to label these 'effective' pilots as unfair just because they spent their time honing their craft just as I spent it learning to become an 'effective' bomber pilot? I am pretty sure there will be people out there that hate me due to the fact they can't down me or out bomb me when I'm in the 17 but is that my fault? Just because someone has taken the time to both learn their aircraft and how to use it shouldn't immediately mean categorising them as 'unfair'. All it means is you adapt your tactics to prevent the oppotunities arising. For example the 262 sadly doesn't turn that well so keep the 17 nice and slow n low and turn to follow them and they'll struggle to make contact with you.

Thanks for the irrelevant reply Branko... I was talking about a video game..

I was pointing out that for you to post on here complaining that people use a certain plane, and to also be posting on here about the fact that some people complain about you using your bomber, is a little contradictory.

So can we or can't we fly whatever the hell we want to?

If you show up to a gunfight with a knife you're gonna get into trouble.
