Dying nightly, turning and burning...literally... in my 38G with the occasional Spit V flight thrown in.
The 38G might be the secret. Can't outrun anyone, and is a fair to middlin turner. I have to fight if anyone shows up. And more often then not I'm lower then the baduns too so my choices are limited.
Had a fun one with a P47D25 and Yak that kept trying to B & Z me the other night. Not much I could do but keep turning into them and avoid the shot. Neither of em wanted to turn with me.
The timid Jug pilot did at least acknowledge it though...Pokes Grits just a little bit
The hard part is not getting sucked in to the norm whether it be fly at the speed of light or to worry too much about score or K/D.
I see lots of folks justifying Temps, Mustangs, LAs etc as just their way of fighting back against the timid guys. To me that just promotes more of the same. For that reason more then anything, I won't do it.
To be clear, I could care less what anyone flies or how they do it. I can only control me and as long as I can find fun in the game all is good for me. It's my choice not to fly the speed burners or perk planes. They don't interest me. But I sure don't expect anyone to fly it my way anymore then they should expect me to fly it their way.
Bottom line for me remains, that as long as I'm not really dying, and planes are free, I might as well take my best shot in a fight. Avoiding em is boring.
