    This week i've been thinking about how Europe and America stack up against each other in online fighting. I can't decide what side of the pond has better fighter pilots. I'm leaning towards Europe at the moment....But then again if i include Russia some of the best pilots are from there (as we all know). What do you all think?

    Hmmmmmm. frivolous me thinks. I think that it really does not matter. Its the pilot since there are no national training regimens.

    I don't know how many people from the Asian continent play this game , but i think it was worth mentionning in the poll choices IMHO .

    But honestly , I doubt the poll will give a sensible answer cause most will vote for their country and in this forum , not every country is represented equally in term of numbers . Also , most of the time online , i don't know where are the other guys from except if i look at their pings or if their nickname is obvious concerning their nationality

    I think most countries have their fair share of experienced virtual pilots , it seems that there are more Europeans (squads) flying the sim but it's just an impression . I also think it doesn't matter btw (although i respect your will of knowing other ppl opinions about this ) , individual skill is not what impress me in this sim , it is teamwork and immersion

    It very much depends what time of day you fly as well, because you will base your impressions on that....But i don't think people will vote for their country, people should be honest. If i fly against a pilot who strikes me as good, i normally ask where they are from afterwards...

    Bad list.

    You have USA, Russia, Australia then Europe. The other three are relatively straight forward, but Europe is not one country. You can`t put Europe in such a list.

    Have fun writing down all 50 countries of Europe to make a poll

    Not that this poll as it is can be taken seriously anyways =)

    But there's so many countries in Europe and it's hard to gauge exactly which are the ones with the most good pilots, so it's easier to say Europe as a whole. Plus there's only so many options in a poll

    In my other passion of driving sims, we call them 'aliens', I think you could add that to your list

    I reckon the best online pilots are from the internet.
    But seriously, definitely Hyperlobby.
