Author Topic: Hate NIK2 La7 Spit, etc? (Read 1590 times)

I have been getting kind of bored and was wondering what I could do to spark some new interest in the game for me. Since we have a new tour coming up, and after reading a few more of the typical dweeb plane comments today here on the board, I had an idea:

(a) Everyone fly the plane you think is most dweeb and lets see how the scores turn out? Fly it exclusively, or if that is boring, maybe just a significant amount of time.

(or for variation try flying the ride your favorite "dweeb" or "ubber plane" whiner flew most last tour)

Just a voluntary friendly experiment. Let's see how much of this is plane or pilot eh? The results would be interesting to see.

I think maybe I will try N1K2 or La7, not decided yet.

I really don't think I could fly one of those Luftwobble planes for a whole tour.

I think the dweebiest plane in the game is the Spit V. I think I'll fly that for a tour and see how things turn out.

I also bet that the biggest whiner in the game flies a Spit V, so I shall then fly a Spit V for an additional tour to see how I do.

Wish me luck!

Flying Spits for a whole tour? That would be... boring.

Don't like the La-7, I rather fly the -5.

Suck in 109's, that's why I fly them now.

Come that, I suck in the N1K2 too, maybe that will be my ride for the next tour.

Very. Maybe I should consider something MetaTronically fast.

Same as what the tard above said. D9, 152 and 262 are too dweeby for me not to fly.
Seriously though, you really think I would fly spits or N1K or HurriIIC when already in the above and other stall bricks it is hard not to scare away 1:1s, and be 5:1'd constantly when it's seen there is no chance in a 1:1 vs me??

Well ill stay in my Yak9U and 9T - 205 - Fm2 - Hurri2C

Mabey i could try for 1 tour the 109 G6 and G2 but shall think about it

And what i think about what people fly , there choice they pay also 14,95 each month and having fun like i do

.
You get shot down or shoot someone els down , that's the game .
To bad sometimes people forget that , and making them self so angry , for what

, someone shot you down couse he was better or was lucky .
No big deal get to tower get new ride and have fun and forget you was shot down .
If you stay angry you get shot down over and over again and again .

I have just now started to fly the Spit V, man that plane is some kind of fun.

I have spent pretty much zero time in any of the "big 4" and I am just curious to see what (if anything) happens differently for me. Like I said, just was getting pretty freakin bored - this will give me something to do.

Try the 109G2...for me, it's a lot like the P51b. However, make sure to map your elevator trim to a handy spot to help stay in / pull out of a dive.

I did that already with the n1k (imo the only true dweebplane in AH) several tours ago.

it only took me ONE day flying it to see just how different the scoring was.

In my FIRST mission i shot down 2 wings of bombers (this was before buff formations.. i shot down 3 b17s and 2 b26's) and 2 p51's and a waffleplane (109 or 190 i dont remember).

Oh, and I had to take off from the airfield they were bombing and climb about 15k all the time being under fire by the fighters (which I shot down by using the UFO stall-less insta-turn 'features') and then proceeded to shoot down all those bombers and LAND the thing.

The remainder of the day was spent in pure furball mode, not even attempting ACM but rather using all my jedi WING COMMANDER point-and-sprayshoot skills.

Honestly, those Kilrathi wouldve surrendered if the Confed has N1ks.

Dweeb , schweeb...it's not the plane, it's the pilot that makes th diff. I can get shot down more times than I get kills, no matter the plane. I'm sick of hearing about this plane or that being a plane only "dweebs" fly. Lighten up ya bunch o' elitist snobs.

( I was smiling when I said that:rolleyes: )

For the September tour, one of squad planes was the La-7. So, I flew it on squad nights and during the RJO, running up a rediculous score. Boring to pieces. This tour I've flown the A-20G as a fighter and had fun with it. Three days ago I decided to fly the Ki-61 as my main ride thru the end of the October tour. Again, I'm having fun with this little terror. I forgot what a lethal little bugger this thing is.

However, during the course of a tour, I'll fly whatever suits my fancy at the moment, or the need of a particular situation. All of the USN planes, Mustangs (usually P-51B), Jugs, Tiffies and 190s get some work, just for variety. I fly just about everything once or twice each tour. Otherwise, it would be too boring for my limited attention span. LOL

My regards,

Widewing

There was a guy on last night called "RevrndMax" or something like that, doing some town attacking in a high-speed A-20. I dove down on him and saw one of his engines smoking and 2 of my team on him so I turned away to engage a P-47 over the base.

Just as I completed my turn, I got a "Check 6!" and looked back to see his A-20 at d300, belching smoke and flame in my general direction.

I rolled over and tried to dive away down the canyon but no luck. With all of his guns in the nose, he didn't have to worry about convergence, and the .50 cals had a pretty long reach, let me tell ya.
