P51

[Steve]

(if you see a 51 acting like a spit, don't shoot. Its probably me trying to get killed)

Lol Ded.  Fly erratically like that against me and you'll probably win.  I seem to have a real knack for ramming  guys that fly all squiggly.  I fall to the ground in flaming pieces, and they go merrily about their oblivious way, happy that they just killed some dweeb named Steve but totally unaware as to how they did it.

I rember both times.  Single ping from D800 from FM cut your 51 in half.  Second time you came out of the smoke in one of the bases, brobably around 20K  or so  , and I pulled the triger for the HO.

I had to use all my skill both times

If you're gonna turnfight a stang, you might as well fly the P-51B.  It rolls a bit better and you need to turn fight with it because with four .50 cals you're gonna need to hang with your target a bit longer.

Just make sure you don't go over 450ias or so or you'll be fighting compression.

Ha, but then how am I going to run to safety after I screw up?

anyway, is there any "rule" to this. I have been trying to fly the pony myself lately and I seem to be getting a bunch more assist's and not as many kills as I didnt in the cannon'd Typhi..  I also seem to be hitting other airplanes more and them not dieing, but megoing back to the tower. Someone told me yesterday that the slower plane usualy survives the collision and the faster plane dies. Is there any truth to this or am I just unlucky. B/Z in a pony your always going to be faster so this makes a little since, but is it true? Is is someting built into the game?  Steve next time I see ya, I would like to wing with ya for some advice.  Thanks (S)

Thats False.  Ive fought La'7s before where they didnt have enough ammo left,  i would chop my throttle and let em hit my tail,  i knew they would die,  but i guess its just another one of those little "tricks"  not many people know about.

Don't screw up!  Just keep doing fancy pilot stuff until either you or your target dies.

I think the slower net connection wins.  Not the slow plane.

Every death is a stepping stone toward learning

I've had 56k before and i still die often to rams with DSL connect.  Unless of course every person that ive rammed had 56k,  which of course would be a false assumption.

Sure, the double immel seems fancy, until you get a 38 who triple immels on you.

Good luck pulling that off,  unless you have at least 8k under you.

Come swing by h2h Wld, we will see which 38's and Navy planes you can handle bud.

Now you can fly it like Beetle and never take a risk or just sneek up on folks, but, the real fun in this plane is in the weeds with the furballers:)

Alternatively, you can do what Rude would do - dive on a couple of N1Ks and try to turnfight with them. When you realise you've completely porked it up and get blasted, just pretend you were AFK taking a phone call.

Nice advice about the convergence, WT. I will bear that in mind. But my plane for this tour is going to be the P38L - convergence not a factor. I got quite a few kills in it last night, and one death (compression/lawndart) after I had released rockets in another "risk free" pass on a GV position. Flippin' eck, the guns on that P38 are powerful.
