Even though i've lost much of my skill since the transition to 4.84, I'm still handy enough to cause some damage in them. I usually fair better in bombers due to their insta-kill traits, but it is now truely impossible to kill someone who knows how to fly in a fighter. I usually fight other highly skilled players instead of less experienced ones, so my kill ratio is now quite average, though i've long given up on maintaining it.
Fighters will have to be my chosen ship choice at present. Bombers are a tad too heavy for taking out the best, so fighters are the only craft I have a chance in.
Im glad to see that the fighting quality on the server has improved vastly since 4.83. Many good pilots have developed into exemplary ones. Edge-minator hasn't lost his touch in battleships ("average" my backside...) and the tier of highly skilled pilots is continuing to grow.
My favourites of the two classes are:
Fighter: Ravenclaw. ( Eight guns, six of which could be magma hammers.. )
Bomber: Rheinland bomber. ( To be expected, right? )
As to styles of combat, considering the title of the thread, I think my prefered style is direct and concentrates on damage output, more so in my aim than my choice of weapons.
