i was thinking about making a new thread to praise this excellent post, but then i figured id just be flamed by the newbs in warbirds.
the other week i realized that i was friggen bored of getting killed in a warbird by my own mistakes. i realized that id never be the best, because i simply did not want to put the time in to perfect my aim and evasion, it just isnt worth it. thats when i realized that spider was where the $ is.
i have the most respect for spider pilots, i never say ns to any wb's cause i know its a shot that a very hgh percentage of people could have made with the right ammount of luck. when i see a spider take out a warbird that has full energy, i think "now that was a nice kill."
spider is the ship where u can tell who the ez's and the good people are right away. in a warbid u cant because u will get lucky killing people and they will get lucky killing u, in spiders i can see how they fight me, if they know how to fight me or not. doing this, i realized that trench wars players really arent very good, at least the ones in the pubs. they always make the same fatal mistake... the best a newb can do against a good spider is a double kill (the exception to that is if they are hunting the spider and put it on first priority to kill. they will wait until your back is turned and you are fighting someone else, and your rotation speed just wont be enough. on the other hand, many of them you can still own even though they hunt you.)
one thing i love is the fact that with a spider, the key is deterrance, not evasion. I hate the recharge time in a warbird, where your are just waiting for your opponent to give you something to dodge. the spider is always in the game, always ready to kill.
unfortunately, easiness is not the only thing a spider can tell with most kills. it is badly affected by lag, and dont try to prove me wrong unless u have played a lot of spider yourself. even ships with pings in the 100's can have rather annoying lag shields, and sometimes killing someone is just impossible cause the shots dont register. it seemed like when i was a warbird it would take about 4 (sometimes 3!) shots to kill me at about full energy. as a spider, i rarely see a fully charged warbird die with 4 shots. some will take a shot at me and within the second i will hit them with 2 bullets and they wont die, and this happens quite often, it has made me want to quit i got so frusterated.
so i dont do the warbird thing anymore in pubs. spider, a little jav, terr if its badly needed, a tiny bit a lanc, a tiny bit of weasle to toy with people. people who die to spiders call the spiders lame, really i think the warbirds are more so, they are a great ship to spawn with, and people utilize that strength quite often. their bullets are too fast for many repels, their thrust is incredibly efficient, and their shots rarely lag, and when they do you get "fucking laggot"... when i get called a laggot after i eat a shot (even tho EVERYONE regardless of ping eats a shot by lag once in a while) i say cool, i deserve some lag too once in a while.
btw,
:P i one on oned a wb yesterday and won, 5-3. it was my first spider vs. wb duel cause i hate it when people call luck when they get killed so i had to challenge it, the person accepted.
count me in for that squad under some name.

btw,
honestly... if you can kill a wb in a honest fight (by honest I mean not sneaking up on him from behind when his energy is low) as a spider I give you mad props.
