You can fly with stile ???? i don´t think so !!! :)
 
IMO, the Scimitar suffers from being insulted in-game... it's really not a bad fighter (I like it more than the Hornet...) but the fact that we're repeatedly told how much everyone on the 'Claw hates it subconsciously lowers our opinions quite a bit.
 
I don't know if it's just my flying style, but in WC1 I always did better in Scimitars than in Rapiers... so the only thing I liked more than Scims were Raptors.
And in WC2, I'll take a Broadsword over a Rapier or even a Sabre any day... so I guess I'm the type of guy Iceman was referring to when he said "forget finesse, just head straight in with guns blazing" :)

I would take an epee before id take a rapier in WC2.. god i hate it. its terrilbe


but when i first played WC, i was pretty happy flying a scim :) Im just glad afterburner speed is around the thousands (stuck at 999kps in snes :() but hey, a hornet is gonna have a dilly of a pickle frying destroyers and cruisers, Scims are gonna have a so-so time with em.
 
Azrael gave a nice in-depth description on his tactics, but what I find amusing is that I don't recall using much thought in WC1/2. I pretty much flew like a Maniac. Point - shoot - next! Point - shoot - next! Y'know the drill. And the missiles were so slow in WC1 that they were useless to me. The Kat always afterburned away.
