You fellows seriously might want to consider amending this, maybe to something on a percentage scale or something.  I can't see how it doesn't hurt you immensly and put you at a distinct disadvantage in the MA...  

Sure, on the one hand, you're going to learn what your plane can do inside and out - I'll give you that.  But OTOH, you aren't learning what the other planes can do, inside and out.

I dunno.  I've skimmed your website and read why you fly what you fly and I have to respect that, its pretty cool to see that sort of dedication.  But, MAN, are you guys missing out!

I think this is one of the reasons there are so many squads out there. If you like a squad dedicated to one thing you can prolly find it somewhere in the MA. If you want a squad that only bombs, then same thing. If you want a squad that just likes to dogfight or take fields, they're out there too. You can pick and chose. Some are even regimented with rank and stuff. Others know they're rank and like it that way, too!

If you like what the squad yer in does and like whatever rules they have then have fun doing it!
But, you really need to spend time with yer squad, in the TA or DA and learn all about the planes you will be fighting. Otherwise, how do you plane to fly your planes strengths against another planes weaknesses? On hearsay? You gotta experience it firsthand to really understand it.

73 - My advice to you would be to put yourself in situations where you *HAVE* to hit the shot, or you die.  That seemed to work for me... and once you "learn" how to shoot you never really forget.  You might have to retrain yourself once in a while, but it never completely goes away.  

There are certain shots that I very rarely miss... and it is just because I've practiced them so often that I can do it blindfolded (practically.. I don't think I've ever actually tried).

Well w/o watching the films, 1 thing I know. If a pilot who has ANY clue and is on your 6, it can be difficult to shake regardless. From the 1st film, it looks like you just flew into a bad situation. You didn't have enough speed and had to fight the spits on their terms.

I couldnt disagree with this statement any more....your not always going to win but you CAN almost always make it a fight...

I just happened to film this a couple hours ago...nothing super fancy...but a good reverse on a 1000 yd con...he got me in the end but he worked for it. To me thats the key, eliminate being an "easy kill" as much as possible...you'll win more than a few you wouldnt think you have a chance at....

JB....

Obviously there's a lot of good advice already....

Personally I'd suggest either the A5 or the G2 (since you need to stick with the luftwabble iron). The D-9 is very very limiting (to me). Basically it has to be flown "properly" to be successful...the G-2 and A5 allow alot more "pilot creativity". Dropping the hardware restriction I'd strongly suggest a tour in the Ki-61. It's a wonderful bird with great vis handling and guns...it also can be flown any way you want successfully.

The D9 requires patience over valour and from what I saw you tend to "ride to the sound of the guns"....truthfully with your "style" you should be flying a 109F (or spitV,Ki-84,hurricane)...the D9 just isnt a plane you go and "wade in" with. Either ditch the tool or change your style to fit what you fly a bit more. If your going to fly the D9 I'd suggest the following drill...1 Kill per sortie till you land 100 in a row...

In the end the D9 is simply a very very limited plane with regard to tactics...you need to engage with the advantage...set up the best shot(s) you can and then leave as your advantage disappears.
