Not just you but everyone else thinks that you are just too good Shane :rolleyes:

Thats the beauty of the 51 - (no clue why they put the ENY restriction deal on)

51's arent easy to get kills with.  You see alot of kills in the 51's cus people know how to fly it.  Alot of the people that fly the 51 "choose" their flights as someone was saying earlier.  You should always choose your right.  If you dont think you measure up to the odds, then back away and wait for somethin else.  The 51 is a nice plane to do this with well, because of its speed and maneuverability.  Just because people fly the damn thing and gets easy kills with it doesnt mean the ENY value should be lower than that of a n1k or spit.

It generally sucks at low alts - only very experienced pilots know how to handle it at ground level.

It is easily caught at ground level

It has 50 cals...cmon, get real

I mean ****, it even sucks against bombers.

Now why the hell would its ENY value be so low when so many other planes are too ****in easy to get kills with.

Just cus its fast, don't mean ****.

554 kills in an Ostie is an impressive feat imo, I am not very good at all in an Ostie :)


Umm, I stopped flying September 10th out of disgust, I have been flying fighter planes for almost 12 years. I think that qualifies me to make the odd comment on these boards about them. Just because I happen to be very good in an Ostwind does not mean I don't know what I'm talking about with regard to fighters. That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. That's kind of like saying someone who's good at checkers must not know how to play chess...

Disgust is bad, if you get some help, you could probably peg that back to just self-loathing   ;)

try to get out of the Osti it is doing you no good at all if you feel that way about yourself.

Maybe if you ask really nicely, he'll let you .join his Osty so you can see exactly how he does so well in it.  

From what I understand, his method does not involve holding down the trigger and whirling the turret around.

I also happened to hop in a field gun as the hangars were down and base was fairly capped. i was looking for vulchers, it was pure happenstance i happened to spot the m3 going down the side of the field.

i could care less about the "war" and an accusation of "spying" is pricelss!!  especially since i don't pay attn to the ch 2 generals or strategerization - i can read the map very well thank you, and what i  look for is big red dar bars.

I'll always cherish this.  :D

Urchin , I'll have you know I have 52 career kills in an Ostwind, I have become quite well versed in it's subtleties. I see you have 79 though , I am quite envious. We could compare techniques.

When you see a plane about to auger in  do you make a quick dash towards it's likely EPOA  (estimated point of auger) ?. I believe I could be missing out on some proxy kills by simply sitting in one place.

Nope, I use my patented technique of driving the osty around in circles while holding the trigger down and spinning the turret the opposite direction.  

It works for me.. I dunno what my life-time K/D is in the Flakpansie, but I bet its more than 1-1.

btw, check your mail redd.. I'll be out of the house for the next couple hours tho.

If he was low on ammo and/or fuel and still tried to attack knowing that he wasn't going to have enough fuel or ammo to successfully prosecute the attack, then he's obviously inexperienced.  

You can sugar coat it however you want to but it still won't cover up the facts.  Even if the P-38 had managed to evade the P-51's passes long enough to make it to the deck, the P-51 would still have its energy advantage which it could trade for altitude.  There is no reason for the P-51 to turn with the P-38 once he has been forced to the deck.  The P-51 has a dream encounter...it had all the advantages that would have allowed the P-51 driver to control the fight.  The P-51 driver's failure to take advantage of this situation and decision to dump all of that for the safety of friendly ack cover only indicates that the pilot is either extremely timid, inexperienced or a combination of them both.

I have noticed too that a lot do seem to run at the sight of a Knight P-38L.  It could just be that the P-51D driver had gotten his arse handed back to him so many times by someone in the P-38L that he automatically runs home out of fright.

My disgust with the current state of the game has nothing whatsoever to do with my mass-murdering vulchers in my Ostwind. I use the Ostwind in this capacity for only one reason, it's alot of fun.
