worthless planes

[twitchy]

Thanks to the loss of the TBM, I think that any and all CV bombers are now pretty worthless...

- Lavochkin LaGG-3
- Curtiss Hawk 75A
- Gloster Gladiator Mk. II
- Fokker D.XXI
- Bell P39
- Yakovlev Yak-1
- Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3
- early Interleukin-2's (IL-2)
- SB's. DB's & Pe's
- Bristol Blemheim

Did I forget something?

Boeing P-26 PeaShooter
A total of 11 Model 281's (P-26C's) were delivered to the Chinese Government for use against the invading Japanese forces. The P-26 proved it's abilities in combat by racking up a number of kills, but, was eventually taken out of service due to a lack of spare parts. A twelfth P-26 was sold to Spain without machine gun equipment installed. This aircraft was subsequently modified by the Spanish Air Force in the field to carry a couple of .50 caliber machine guns under the wings but was shot down before scoring any kills. Another service that successfully utilized the P-26 as a front line fighter was the Philippine Air Force which scored several aerial victories against the invading Japanese forces before being overtaken.

You need to understand and know the limitations of the plane you are flying. The P40, tho limited in certain aspects is a very capable plane in the MA. And in the DA as well. Surely if you bring some of the better turn fighters into play with the P40 its only a matter of time in a turn fight that the P40 is going to lose. So you dont want to sit in a constant drawn out turn fight with planes like SpitV's ect. Rather you want to finish a fight early. That doesnt mean you need to cherry pick the other plane but you want to make a few turns down the plane and move on as quickly as posible. The longer it takes for you to get guns on that better turn fighter the less likely it is you will walk away from it.

Also many forget that flaps make a world of difference. I dont know if you are useing them or not but if you aren't you need to be. They are the only thing that keeps you in a turn fight. I make no claim to be a top notch stick. But if you are going to say that the P40 is a worthless plane I am going to say it isn't. And them Im going prove it.

show me what im missing with the p40?

When I read this the first word that comes to mind is "Challenge". Really thats the whole game for me. I could sit in a spit9 and never get shot down. It climbs like a bat out of hell, turns like a spit5 if you know how to use throtle and keep it slow enough to stay in flaps. BUT there is no fun if there is no challenge. The spit9 is a great plane, dont mistake what I am saying here. Its just a heck of alot easier to fly than say the P40. It takes some level of skill to fly it and become successful in it. The spit9 on the other hand does not.

I like the 38. Its not the fastest plane in the game and surely not the best turn fighter. But if you fly it how is likes to fly it will give you excellent results. It stall fights better than any fighter in the game and still remains manuverable at extreme slow speeds. And can chew up and spit out most of the spit9 dweebs in the game and even a few spit5's. (I am talking in turn fights)

this could be a good thing for me, i love the spit9 for all of those reasons, ive loved that little sucker since the first time i logged into this massively confusing game and was asking questions like what i heard in the ma tonight in ah1 tonight "what does check six mean"
lol i about died even i knew what that was when i first started!

but im getting off topic, one thing i am not though is a la7, 190 up to defend or chace guy, and have'nt use the la7 for some time now sure its fast and can flip around on you quite easily and ive learned my lesson about trying to take it on head on lol!

thing about that spit for me now is i know i can't catch those type planes but i do know how to defend with them, no if i want to go on the offensive i'll go p51d

ha funny thing just looked up you stats, fellow spit 5 lover ok! one day we will have to try the 14 model together after the p 40 model tryle of course
