Gloating in a yak....


heh...


next thing you know well have people complaining about how people dont turn and burn with zeros...

btw the yak is hands down one of the best air to air rides in the game..

Excellent speed , excellent view (best attribute imo) acceleration...  only thing that plane is lacking are ammo duration and fuel endurance..

It bleeds e like a siv when manuevering hard (enabling out radii turning in stallfight) and retains e thru engine power when pushed at low g.

Anyone else want to tack on some more feel free..

Fly a p40b or 110 etc.. then you may complain ...

And on a side note all sides altmonkey and quite honestly what wrong with putting your plane in its prefered alt...

p51 and dora are best above 10k Niks, zekes , and other bottom feeders are better down low...

Jeeze the learning curve.........


Have a happy day..


:)

Ok, I had to add something else. Fight or flight...  I usually fly with a wingman, but when I dont have a buddy with me. I am a lot  less willing to engage and bandit unless the cards are staked way in my favor.  I am trying to work on the fact that I have like 200 sorties and 35 or so landings.  I get so tired of 1v1 with a guys,  Drags me all the way to the gorund, I get the kill only to get pounced by a dude that was 5 miles behind him.  I know that in this game you can go right back to the tower and hop into another plane, but isnt there something to be said for landing at the end of a flight.  If I climb up and get some altitude it gives me more options. Fight or flight.... You only had one life in WW2....  I dont pick a fight with a dude I know will kick my asz..   I guess I am an Alt monkey....

Heh. I'm a Rook, and I'm sometimes reduced to begging for 1 vs 1 or 1 vs 2 fights from you other two countries. There've been times when I'd fly to the edge of a gaggle of Bish or Nits and call out over ch1 some volunteers to fight. I'll even politely ask if they'll limit the number to no more than 3 at a time (cause I suck). Heheheh, it's like ducks on a junebug. I really don't think the alt-monkey, gang-bang penom is unique to Rooks. C'mon, you all know it istn't. I'm not sayin Rooks don't do it. I'm sayin all three countries have their fair share.

p.s. I fly a pony most times, and I usually don't run, and I aint the only pony driver who doesn't. Tired of some people painting with a broad brush.

IMO, the fastest way to get better is to fight those guys. Most of 'em are willing to help you, too. Ya just don't seem to get better from taking the easy fights.

I mean vultching is the easiest kill there is, essentially. Does it make you better? Not really.. you don't learn anything.

Engage. Have fun. It's a game.

whats been geting to me is how you guys never fight it realy dont matter in anyplane i fly they just try to run  they only fight when there 5k above me

heck iv watched spitfires try to run from me and P38's and many other's

Hey Toad,  I ment in real life.  I wont pick a fight with a guy the is 6'6 and 300 pounds,  i was trying to make a point.  In the game I fly way to agressive and never land kills.  Last night for example, I had 5+ sorites with 4 or more kills that I should have RTB'd with but got stupid and tried to get "just one more"

A 28k dweeb from that Rook pony squad once called me an alt monkey cause I was a 30k P47.

I learned something from back in the day of RPGs on the nintendo, if you always run you never get any better and then comes a time when you cant run, then you die.

Tour 47 stats:

"The Rooks have 131463 kills and have been killed 108826 times against the Bishops."

"The Rooks have 125289 kills and have been killed 119946 times against the Knights."

I'm a country potato so I have no loyalty at all, but the only thing different I notice about Rooks is that they hardly ever have missions.  Every country has alt dweebs and gang bangers and La/niki/spit hordes.

MotorOil said ... Guy with altitude dictates the battle.

Not necessarily.

Too many times I have baited down a higher plane and got them to bleed their E down to a point that they became trapped. I dictated the fight by creating angles that spoiled the guns solution on the attack run, all the while causing the attacker to lose precious E on each pass.

But back to the thread ...

I agree.
