Well, I'm thinking of canceling my account for a bit...

[LYNX]

I used to like Spitfires. Heck, I signed up for this game to fly Spitfires. I got so sick of the Spit hate that is spewed.

Karnak... take no bleeding notice of the spit dweeb comments.  Or any other comments come to think of it.  Your ride your $15 as they say.

I know the LA7 is annoying but any spit can out turn um.  As for gang banged, well, that will happen no matter what u ride.  Just got to pick ur fights and try to keep near friendlies or have a good wingman.

I've been having some fun in a Hurri 1 of late..check it out.  It's a blast.  Spit 1 is a kool tool too.  Very satisfying landing kills in these early birds.

Anyways,  u know ur own mind...good luck.

Karnak, sounds to me like you need a break.

Either is a blast, although I've been flying the T a lot lately.

Helps if you pick good fights to get into in the first place.

Yep, that was going to be my advice too.

There's nothing funnier than 1-ping killing planes in the Yak-9T. If you're having a bad night (as I have been all tour lol) try the e-z mode Yak-9U.

Makes me wonder why I pay for this sometimes.

Kill stealing, assist ridden and La-7 ended night.

Fly the Mossie and beg to get gangraped.  The Fw190A-5 isn't much better.  Fly the Spitfire and be simultaneously saddled with a horribly slow 1942 Spit built in lower numbers than the N1K2-J and the deafening whine of people like Urchin.


Seems that the only viable rides to actually have fun in and not struggle ar the P-51D, Fw190D-9, Typhoon and La-7 and I can't stand a one of them.


Be a speed demon or be a punchingbag.  Hmmm.


Oh yeah.  After 5 years of playing this game, I am SICK of playing defense.  First Rooks for three years and now Knights for two years and nearly 90% of it on defense flying for the side with the lowest numbers.

Fly a Mossie, one of the most successful aircraft of the war, in that environment basically says "Here I am, a free kill.  All you come and me now".


So, now I feel faced with the "Join 'em or leave" position in regards to the 1945 uber speed demons.



Being people's punching bag isn't fun anymore.

Why bang your head against the wall? AH isnt the only place with spitfires or Japanese planes.

[ghostdancer]

Not sure about the Mossie .. but several of my squad mates who have been lured over to the Dark side by Mn7 (one of our squaddies) and now are flying 110s. It is all that Mn7 flew in AW and now in AH (he was Doc, Chooch, etc. in AW).

They rave about it but I still like my F4Us and P47s.

Gads.

Sorry about this thread

I had a rough day on little sleep, came home had some rough flights while having a "bit" to drink.  I apparently decided to post my fatigue/alcohol induced frusterations.

I do not, in fact, feel nearly so negative about the game.

Nor am I canceling my account.

My appologies.

I still think that you'd be more comfortable as a CT whiner than as a MA whiner.

"flying 110s. "


Never underestimate the 110.   The only 3 vs me I've actually won was when I was in a 110.

[Karnak]

The first 3 v 1 that I recall winning was a P-51D and two F4U-1Ds against my C.202.

Just goes to show you...

[thrila]

Karnak, if you ever switch to bish you are more than welcome to wing with me.  Though you better be in a mossie!

Mmmmmmm...... a pair of mossies bringing death and destruction to MA.

[Urchin]

Thrila pretty much kicks bellybutton in a Mossie.. he must be doing something right.  

I still think his guns are mounted at like 15 degrees up instead of straight though, ****er hits some nutty shots where I'm sure I'm safe.
