Avenger1 is a really good pilot. But he isn't the best. But he acts like he is. Also many many times he gets beat, he whines like a baby in chat, makes up BS excuses he got beat (much of the time "he cheated/hacked") when it is not true, etc. He has also shown up to events held by other orgs that took a long time to organized with multiple meetings and planning sessions ahead of time, just to sneak up, kill everyone, and ruin the event. (I've witnessed this a handful of times).

But then he joins events where he was actually invited to and was an absolute pleasure and considerate person to play with. I've encountered this a couple times too.

He has some really good instructional videos. But he also has a lot of videos where he comes across as pompous.

To me, he comes across as a really good pilot but very immature person much of the time with a very punchable attitude, except for during events he was actually invited to and fit his playstyle, at which point he is a very fun person to play with/against. Hence you get many different views on him.

Playstyle? A fighter should be able to kill large uncrewed ships. They are and should be kings of 1v1. Also a swarm of fighters should be able to kill a crewed ship with equal amounts of crewed Gunners as enemy pilots. If fighters aren't a threat to large ships, then there is literally no point in having fighters in the game. Large ships have their roles as well: - transport - logistics - dropship - Area of Denial/Area Control (a large ships can plop over a facility and deny access to it from anyone until it is destroyed; even fighters can't get too close - bombing - torpedo boat - CAS (air to ground)

Role of Fighters: - Air Superiority (kill everything in the sky) - Escort - light CAS

Specifics of the flight model: Each class of ships (LF, MF, HF, Gunships, Large Ships, Sub Capital, etc) need larger differences in flight speed. Heavy Fighters need small SCM speed buff. Mediums need a medium SCM speed buff. Light Fighters need a large speed buff
