Yer a better man than I am. I tried the Emil again tonight and did manage 2 more kills in it, but for some reason tonight I kept taking oil/engine damage. Really hard to see out of the 109 cockpit with the oil on the windscreen.

Retiring for the night before I get too frustrated lol.

Man, maybe I need to change sides so I can bag my 10 without fear of death. The 40B and and Hurri1 are con magnets in a furball.

Won't even bother posting my score, ran a bunch of field defense sorties as 'fighter. Flying the worthless planes is fun though, I'll give it that.

I got myself kilt in a P-40B in my only sortie so far this tour. Note to self, don’t try to B & Z LAs in a P-40B, they can equal your E after one loop.

It looks like Sirloin is the man to beat; his stats so far:

Spit-I – 7/4
Hurri-I – 2
P-40B –
A6M-2 – 7/10
109E-4 – 11/0
C202 – 10/2

Total: - 37/18

Crawled my way up to 6 kills in the 109E-4, but now I'm having video card problems. Just when my luck was starting to change. Life teases me like that sometimes.

SirLoin · « **Reply #24 on:** July 06, 2005, 04:12:00 PM »

Hurri done...What a fun plane lol!

Why isn't Hurri IID on that list ? Is it too worthless ?

Both planes are too good. The six planes in this contest typically have the worst fighter K/D in the MA. IMO, fighter K/D is a good indicator of overall aircraft quality. This is especially true at the low end.

More about these 6 planes can be found here: Worst KD Fighters

The Hurri-IID would have been next, but it has a significantly better K/D, and there has to be a cut off somewhere. Originally this contest was to be for 100 kills in Spit-I, Hurri-I, P-40B & C202. However, I had a concern of requiring 100 kills because only 1 person in the last P-40B contest made it to 100. 10 kills in 6 planes is much more doable. We certainly can tweak things for another tour.

IMO the Hurri-IID and F4F are much better planes than this set; mostly due to their guns.

OK..I'm in!

109e 11k 0d
c202 10k 2d
p40b 12k 2d
spit1 10k 6d
Hurri1 13k 11d
a6m2 10k 16 d

66/37 k/d

Suave · « **Reply #28 on:** July 07, 2005, 07:57:11 AM »

I'm surprised 202 has such a poor k/d. It's basically a spit9 without cannon.

Are you excluding GV kills in the hurri IID ?

Overall K/D against everything. Raw stats from HTC.
