worthless planes

P-40 sucks... give us P-36 Curtiss Hawks

ROFL Morpheus!

Oh well, I've made my point. And although I'm almost old enough to be your grandfather, my memory isn't fading yet. Yes, you did bag one which I dragged up. I was trying to get him myself, but that 109G is not known for responding to elevator as crisply as some other planes I could mention. I got a couple of kills, and then went for the wine refill - stayed high (by which I mean I kept the plane high) in case any more cons came in from a neighbouring base. But wait - this is the pizza map - they can't be arsed to do that! The screenshot is one I took after I got back from the kitchen.

Hehe Morph, we're both doing the same thing in different ways. You like to fly at a disadvantage, and at your tender age you are driven to succeed. You have far more ambition than I do in this game. I am a different animal. I like to try planes to see how they might have been used in WW2, eg. recreate situations as described by Colonel Gabreski, who I've met. Some have described the P47 as a flying brick or a POS. But in the rarefied air at the high alts on the pizza map, it can be good. (Of those 10, about 3 were GVs I bombed, two low level kills (not vulches) and then I went to another area and got 5 air to air) As for LW iron, I've been flying the 109s in AH and my 109 flying skill has improved tremendously. I used to be totally useless. Now I'm just crap.

So my fav planes are the USN ones because they are good fighters and good for jabo. They don't perform anything like my most likely adversaries, so I have to create opportunities - that doesn't simply mean  climbing to 20K - unless I suspect the presence of a high alt buff attack. I like the thinking man's game.

Hehe, we've had the disagreement phase, now we've had the BBS dingdong phase - glad to see we're on to friendship phase! I did the same thing with Mars01 and now we email like old mates. Same thing with slapshot, steve, Lazs, Toad - a whole list! So now, you're my second favourite maroon - Mars01 is the first. Yep, we can wing any time. Don't know when I'll be on again. Hard to sit in front of a computer screen in this fine summer weather we're having, and there is to be a 36 hour period of toodle-pippage...

beet1e i can see your point about screenshot proofs of kills, and there is no way to tell for sure how they were obtained but wtg flyboy and by no way am i trying to refute your kills but show me video, that will at least put all disscusion at ease....

by the way, can anyone give me some good pointers on killing some good zero pilots out there? now that plane put in the right hands can be a very deadly aircraft:mad:

tekito i think was his name:mad:

There isn't hardly a plane in the set that can't take advantage of a faster top speed than the Zero.  

Faster top speed translates into a faster merge, which translates into more energy to use at the start of a fight.  Most post-1942 planes will have no trouble keeping that initial E advantage and wearing down the Zero.
