Nope... Yeldar proved that in phantom, BR's don't take precedence, lines do.

In venom and flash - good luck with that method - you NEED to be a BR ace to get those top times.

Some Phantom pilots can't handle venom and flash. It's too "tricky" for them, and they complain of "weps" damage waaay too much.

Point I'm making is that venom and flash require different disciplines and anticipations to phantom speed.

I agree with mannjon, and I prefer the trickier speed classes, they keep things really interesting - if - there's good competition around.
