Author Topic: what would you fly if.... (Read 1348 times)

You were going to hunt a person who flew nothing but the La7, cherrypicked and ran the instant he didnt have the advantage. Then even 1 v 1 in his ack against a 109F, he still wont engage other than clumsy lame HO passes. What plane would you fly to hunt him? P-51? G-10? D-9? La7?

This is all hypothetically of course.

Ive had good deals with la-la's, but I would like to aproach him with a p-38 with some alt over him. Just contine to make passes at him, and if he just runs just follow him. Wait till he lands then toast him.

yeah,

"hypothetical"

. We got ya loud and clear. I do not know what I would use, as I primarily fly the much beloved 109E or F.
But I do love the "hypothetical"

They do it all the time, and you can not differentiate one dweeb form the next.

if you're going pure hunting - and have sources for posreps...

a temp

otherwise any nbr of planes would be suitable, pony, dorka, 109g10, yak, another la, tiff.

i see you've met ezeepkns.

Lol, damnit Shane! This is supposed to be hypothetical!!

Tempest is the ideal Lgay7 hunter, or if you're 'perk-poor' the Typhoon, trust me on this...

the Ki-84 wins in a turnfight vs. the Lgay planes.

I dont expect the "hunted" in this case to ever turn and fight unless there is absolutely no other alternative so turnfighters are out of the equasion. It will have to be something fast, I'll probably take the D-9, Tiffie, P-51 or a Temp.

Run them down in a D3A !!!

Grits · « **Reply #10 on:** April 30, 2005, 09:36:19 AM »

Nah, the B5N is way more uber than the Val. Heck the D3A is a dweeb ride because its got forward firing guns!!

Made this decision last night, Wasnt an La7 tho it was a hunt for THE professional D9 vulture/runner.

Temp was choice and the hunt was succesful.

Sorry to state the obvious... why not use 262?

I couldn't agree more with your first choice but the typhie cannot run him down when he chooses to run...err extend beyond icon range. If he does decide to fight the typh is in trouble unless it can dispatch him quickly. Of course if he's truly a HO ho then it probably will be over quickly

you obviously need a faster plane then the La7,
that leaves you with the tempest and the Me262.
