When I end up low and slow in a turning fight the last thing I want to see is a Hurri IIc or a Zeke.  

At that point I hope help is nearby :)

The La-7, followed by the Typhoon when I am in a Mosquito.

When I am in an Fw190A-5 nothing particularly stands out as being dreaded.  A higher Spitfire maybe.

I expect I'll feel pretty much the same as I do in the 190A-5 when I'm in the Ki-84.

The Ki-84 hangar is just down the road ... it will take you about TWO WEEKS to get there ... :D

Oh ... I phear the C-47 ... it's a monster.

Well Mitsu, it looks like there was some experimentation while putting the hangar up and it has been delayed a bit.

I am very interested to see how it performs.  Hopefully it will attempt to model a production Ki-84 and hopefully we'll find out not too long in the future.  Maybe in two or three weeks.

I hate them all.

I'd much rather see them going away from me....

Three sets of B17s or B26s in a close formation.  I can't resist em and I usually die quickly :)

Fighters:  don't rely dread meeting any of them per se.  It's usually the situation that  decides how much I relish or dred the next engagement.

Chutes have the highest K/D ratio ever. Every camp. Check the stats. Fear the chute. (And now you can collide with them. Don't ask me how I know that.)



No, man. I'm not surrendering. I'm landing kills. Put your hands in the air like you don't care. Wooo .... woooo!

The planes I engage the most in combat are P38s (because I know I can kill em quite easily) and Spits (because I phear to get em on my arse).

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.
