I hate N1K2's, helicopter with a truckload of ammo that can and will be sprayed from inpossible angles.

Tiffies I don't like when they pull reversals and HO me or at least go for the front quarter shot.

The rest I don't mind... much. Combo's are deadly but how often do you get to see them?

Oh, and I once mistook a 109F for a G-10, couldn't outmaneuver nor out accelerate him in my trusted P-51B. That sucked.

I hate those B17

They lock their tractor beam on my plane, drag me to their 6 and I get hit by fiftyeleven .50 cal machine gun bullets

I know I should not fly behind a B17, but allways endup right there after a few passes

When I started this game, I learned to hate the Niki, but that is because there are a few good aces flying the Niki and killing me alot.

Ditto

I HATE Spits

When a plane is on my six I definatly phear the Spits. But I dont phear them so much that I dont engage them agressivly.

A plane I tend to be much more conservative against is the N1K. I know that when I engage it the slightest butterup will result in me going down.

The most annoying is BnZing 109s and 190s. Its not that I phear them so much as one having to pay so much attention to something one cant really do much about.

LA7s I dont phear that much mostly because I know that I can always out turn them.

What I do phear though is combos. N1K+LA7, N1K+190, Spit+LA7, P38+190, ect ect. Combos where there is a good turner and a good BnZer.

I really have a hard time fighting this in my Yak because I can either outclimb, out run, out turn one of them but not the other. Outmanouvering one will get me killed by the other.

I've been having nightmares about pairs of yaks

Yeah good call Tex, combos are the hardest. Most individual planes you can have a strategy/tactic for - turn/E combos make life tough.

Not that keen on seeing hi nikis or hi spits either , they seem to be able to sniff out a low hellcat from 3 sectors away.

I'm ready for problems when a P-51 is coming my way. It used to be you could outturn it if you couldn't outrun it, but now 51D's are outturning my La-5 on the deck since AHII started.

I'm also wary of C.205's because it seems like the ones I encounter are flown by good sticks who know what that plane can do.

heavy bombers, and hurricanes.

lost a tempest yesterday, first pass from 9k alt above some bombers at about 430 MPH. Lancs! not even anything with a decent gun package.

I think i must have lost the knack for killing 'em, i used to rip em to shreds in a spit V, let alone a Temp.
