The P-40E is a very good plane if you fly it on it strength's. In fact I would say it's the "Poor Man's P-51." It has a good punch with the 6x .50 cal's and it will turn much better than most people think. If you fly it "dweebily" you are going to get your keaster handed to you every time. In the hands of a smart pilot though the Warhawk is a deadly machine.

In that fight Sunday Morning Storch with you and Norad flying 109's and 202's I landed 9 kills to 0 losses in the P-40 and I only had alt advantage one time.

An excellent pilot in a P40 against an average pilot in a 202 is going to die. Unless he has like a 3K alt advantage to start.

Isn't this the place for a duel:

Arenas and Hosting: online Dueling Arena.
Plane Selection:
Challenger: Shane: P40
Defender scJazz:C.202.
Identical fuel.

Altitude: A max altitude must be agreed upon. This max altitude is strictly a pre-engagement restriction. This means that you are not permitted to go above this altitude until your opponents icon is visible. This is in place to keep each others energy state as equal as possible at the start of the fight.

Initial Merge: Once within icon range, the fight is considered ON and anything goes at this point with the following exceptions:

Guns may not be fired until after the first merge.

Running: Running for an extended period of time to avoid an opponent is considered a forfeit for that particular duel. If you have to ask, "Is this considered running?", then YES you are running and need to turn around and get back in the fight.

Winning a Flight: There must be a "clear winner" for each flight. Basically ... You must survive to be considered the WINNER. The following defines a winner:

pilot has received the kill message "SYSTEM: You shot down XX"
pilot is still in complete control of the aircraft
pilot has the ability to ditch his aircraft

Victory Conditions: Best 3 out of 5 flights wins the challenge. You do not have to fly all 5 flights, the first to win 3 is the overall winner.

Backround music: Ennio Morricone ("The Good the Bad and the Ugly")

Wow you two must be bored or something. Not only that but you must assume that a long descriptive post like...

Is going to make me lose control of my senses. Raise me to new heights of rage.

Shane · « **Reply #51 on:** November 18, 2003, 09:09:09 AM »

just laughing at your cluelessness-based assertion.

scJazz · « **Reply #52 on:** November 18, 2003, 11:48:53 AM »

Yes your right... you and Brady are the only people with clues. Everyone else must be wrong.

What sad little men.

*sniff sniff*

Is that an "air of superiority" mixed with the redundant aromatic aroma of egotistical arrogance? Oh yes .... Shaneman has entered the thread riding on a snicker and tossing around the term "clueless." He's a good stick that Shaneman but he's a tad bit outa touch with reality.

Jazz,
Whether the postings are long or small, the issue cannot really be settled here. Actually I agree with you, the C202 have an edge over the P-40E in dogfight. But if you make such a sweeping statement like: "An excellent pilot in a P40 against an average pilot in a 202 is going to die", I guess that you are willing to back up your opinion in a duel. Flaming in this forum is useless. My suggestion for you and Shane to duel was serious. Then maybe either of you can change his opinion.
Done with the topic.

ROTFLMAO @ Arlo!

Actually I'm amazed how competative the setup can be. The 202 is clearly the dominant plane in the set...BUT...it's lack of hitting power does make it tough to finish off a foe. I flew the 1st day or so Axis but numbers have kept me on allied side since then. I've had fun flying both the hurricane and P40....mostly down on the deck...had a bunch of low furballs vs 202's and won at least a few of em. P40 can hold its own with a 202...or two without much problem...if the 202 decides to get in and furball. Obviously if the 202 uses its superior performance to snipe then the p40 has little chance...but the 202 has a tough time actually getting a kill also.
