But there is a glimmer of hope for you, Mars01. I see you are making less use of your Spitix/LA7 crutch, and have ventured into the USN planes. Would you do me a favour and film one of your sorties, and email it to me? I just want to see how YOU fly an F4U. I won't comment on it on the BBS. Anything sent to me privately remains private. But I think we would understand each other better if we looked at a few films.
You know Beet you are too funny. You read stats and look for what you want to see, not what is there. If you checked my stats for real you would see that I fly all kinds of planes.
Like I have stated many times before it is just the sort of hordes that dictate what I fly. I would love to fly the hog all the time, it's my favorite plane
Go ahead... Knock it off

, but it is useless against the horde unless you do a lot of hit and run, which gets very boring.
I usually engage 3 or more cons at a time, because I fly strait for the horde. I pick the biggest red dar bar and head for it. Thus I need a plane that has half a chance in such an environment.
I do this for two reasons, 1) I am a knight and we are predominantly out numbered most of the time. 2) Because I got very bored of the climb to a safe alt in a late war plane and pick my fights.
Once I won my first 3 v1, killing all of them, there was no turning back, that far and away blows away the dive down and kill, climb back up and look for another disadvantaged nme kind of fight.
Oh well, you were almost right - give or take 12K! I can't remember how near to or far from the airfield we were. But I came in at .... 8K Upon seeing your icon, what should I have done? Please do enlighten me. Perhaps I should have paused to consider whether it was morally correct to dive on your plane and then passed you by? Did Corsairs ever dive in the real WW2? If the roles had been reversed, and you had been at 8K and spotted me below, would you have flown on to maintain the moral high ground, looking to be bounced by someone else so that you could deploy your elite turnfighting skills? Bollocks.
Well at least your good for a laugh, not much substance but a good laugh. Yes beet I would have dove in and killed your prettythang, but in no way would I be bragging about it in here or even mentioning it, because I realize how little skill it takes to do such a thing.
To be honest I would have been more embarrassed than proud of the fact, because it was such a skilless cherry pick kill. But I guess you got to take what you can get:lol
Now if I dove on you, and you reversed me, we tiwsted and turned a few times and you showed some skills, then my hat would be off to you, but somehow I don't see that happening.

Yeah right
, I can believe that after you took a sincere apology in a completely different matter and context, and tried to turn it into some advantage to yourself.

Some how I think anything you can get your hands on, you will twist and mangle to fit your view.
But we'll see, maybe it would do some good.
