Description One of the Mirage IIICJs flown by the IAF legend Giora Epstein. This man is one of the highest scoring jet aces in the world with 17 kills to his name, only recently trumped (possibly since I haven't found many details about him) by Yevgeny Pepelyaev, a Soviet pilot during Korea who claimed 22 kills. scores nonwithstanding Giora is one of my heroes and a man who knows how to dogfight (ironically he intially served as a paratrooper for the IDF)

I belive Epstein flew Falcons for a short time and well. His falcon has 17 roundels of unfortunate pilots.

He had enough to his credit already. I wonder if you would be partial to some discussion and design of a Ace Combat British Empire like nation.

well a lot of people say two countries in Strangereal are the closest to the UK: North Point is said to be one and Emmeria is suggested to have elements of the country. Or do you mean a nation that doesn't exist in the cannon world?

so are you just looking for advice on making an OC country for Strangereal?

Yes, you could say that. Notes should be the method now.

Yeah Giora's pretty awesome.

Ronin201 In reply to mobiusonedt [2012-10-25 18:12:38 +0000 UTC]

yeah, though I'm kinda pissed he's no longer the top jet ace

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mobiusonedt In reply to Ronin201 [2012-10-25 22:24:12 +0000 UTC]

Well he's still the top WESTERN jet ace! Hell he's still a top scoring ace period.

Although technically 13 of Sutyagin's 22 kills are confirmed by records, so who knows Epstein might still hold the top spot.

Ronin201 In reply to mobiusonedt [2012-10-25 22:40:45 +0000 UTC]

indeed, and Giora might also hold the top because of the soviet standards where almost anything you shoot down is a kill (some NVAF aces downed several drones to become aces)
