so, with a 2:1 k/d you're saying the a6m2 should be restricted?

20 Kills of A6M2
13 Deaths by A6M2

19-11 in hurri
1-2 in p40b

sheesh, i have 15% of the a6m2 kills??

Looks to be a missmatch from the stats.. But then I looked at my stats...

7 Kills of P-40B
3 Deaths by P-40B

4 Kills of Hurricane Mk I
13 Deaths by Hurricane Mk I

Doesn't look like anyone flying a hurri should fear me when I'm in the arena...

However I think 40% of those deaths was from you...

But at least a managed to cherrypick you once...

Well, from experience, the Hurc1 is fairly nimble and stable at low speeds. Has a good guns package (enough for at least 3-4 kills the way I shoot), and once it gets up to speed is decent. The Zero has ... shall we say "way enhanced abilities" since AH2 changed the way it flies. Luckily the_recent wing stress fix kicked in and the plane groans at more reasonable G-forces. The cannons are good for a few kills but then you still have the 7mm and 13mm to kick arse with. Turns tight, if less stable than the hurc1, and it can do vertical better than the hurc1 (I think it's lighter).

However, the P40B is slow, unmanuverable, unstable at slow speeds, has a crappy arse guns platform (I know this because I've been trying to get kills -- any kills -- with it lately). It brings nothing to the fight. If you dive in on a target you might do well. If you have the advantage you have a chance. But it's sub par compared to the other 2 planes here.

So if you don't want a sore heind-quarters, avoid the P40B. If you're uber like Storch is

fly it all the time to make things challenging.

My $0.02 (USD) -- as usual unsolicited and unnecessary, but I'm working and bored right now.

Guess the kill I got in the P40 the other night doesnt count then? Only reason I switched to Hurri's at all was because I didnt have enough room to takeoff with the P40 before I was in the fight. The mismatched guns package makes it more difficult unless you are used to them, but the 4x.30s and the 2x.50s work well enough. It's still a P40 though, it just needs alt for speed. 3k even and close to 200mph, I'll take it into a furball. But OTD, just after takeoff? Might as well paint a French flag on the side and give up before the fight starts.

Agreed.

But you should have seen Yucca flying that thing the other night. I was impressed.

What ever the stats are, you might want to add a couple of planes. It must have got old fast since friday.This setup is drawing about as much attention as a spelling bee.

Had some fun fights last night at your spelling bee.

Or how about the FM2 substituting for the Brewster. Its OK to sub the FM2 for the Brewster in FinRus, why not here?

P.S. I've always thought the FM2 was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY[/b] too good to sub for the Brewster, no matter what the Finn's say about it. F4F is a better choice if you ask me.

I've seen posted on this BBS that the model of the F2A used by the Finns was very different from the F2a used by the USN, RAF, and Netherlands . Maybe it was the abscence of carrier landing gear. I still think the FM2 is way too much airplane to pose as a F2A in any scenario.

Yup, those were good fights, VWE. Was your radio broken?
