Also having a wingman can make things easier.

Another pair of eyeballs and someone to clear your six when your in the crapper also goes along way

when my boy kazaa is in game we can start double our amount of kills

Want a high fighter rank. Always fly with the horde and do exactly as Superdud says. Fly to live and pick. Never get into a fight with even odds or where you dont have a clear superiour advantage. As soon as you even come close to loosing that advantage. Bug out and split.

Close to the real thing. Isnt it?

Not at all close. But this debate has raged on for years, so let's not open that can of worms.

while we're on the subject of rank, this tour I decided to see what kind of rank I could achieve if I did fighter, attack, gv, etc, sorties. I'm currently ranked like 104 or something like that. My main problem is gv'ing, I can't hit crap in them except buildings but I have allot of captures in M3's... My K/D ratio sux in gv's as i do allot of supply runs and stuff like that but I have 8 captures and only rank like 400 or something... When gv'ing or doin a bomber sorty, how does takes come into the equation of rank ?

F4u-1 all the way baby. Obviosly if flown right. I get more kills in this bird then most cannon planes. Why I not sure but most of the time I am returning home with 6 kills in it and still have 1000 rounds left. Just low on fuel. I usually up with 75% fuel to which gives about 40 mins flying time give or take afew.

First:------- i didn't , i don't and i'll never care about score,
Check my stats, I fly La7 since new patch, Cuz i'm psst of this patch,G10 is out, and i don't like K-4,G14.
And what can i fly to fight the super Spits 16?!
But why are you talking , cuz you are not a fighter? i didn't meet you in fights, unless some safe mode BZ in your tyhphy escorted by 2-3 wingmens, in some areas without red darbar,
imop Typhoon is for those, like you; to proud to fly La7

Learn to shoot in an ostwind. I only use the Ostwind for base defense killing vulchers and usually end up with #1 in K/D ahead of all the spawn campers and top 10 in K/S and K/T. If I choose to bother to get a m3 capture and rocket something I am good for top 10 vehicle rank....

I have no problems with spit16. I actually think they are very predictable. I kill them all the time in my f4u-1 in a turn fight.

Same thoughts here about the Spitfire XVI. From what I've seen, it's hardly the "uber" Spitfire because like the Spifire XIV, it's not being flown properly by those that are using them. They still think it's a turn fighter like the the V and the IX. It's fun watching the Spitfire XVI wallow around trying to stall fight.

ack-ack

Field captures are 1,000 points. Like blowing a whole town apart..................KaChin g

GV-ing go 2 go z go max zoom ]]]]]]]]] fire

best gv situation = Tiger 1200 to 1600 near spawn point on a hill

Yeah ... I can't say the Spit 16 has changed much for me either. Once the novelty wore off I went back to the P51D for most flights. The Spit16 is nice for base defense with that climb rate and the Hispanos - but it can't handle Ludicrous Speed like the Pony.

My whole problem with the rank system is that if you "only" fly fighters, you're punished because your score in GV's etc., is zero so you get that deducted from your fighter score. That's just not right. I'm glad I don't care about rank. The only thing I care about in my score is the kill/death ratio and the hit percentage.

hubsonfire · « **Reply #58 on:** November 18, 2005, 01:37:41 AM »

The spitXVI is the little plane that could, but doesn't. High ENY all the way! sexcept for the times when I vulched and cherry picked, using the speed, exceptional mid-alt performance, and armament to shoot my way into the volch and pad my score, all courtesy of the new spits.

Vulch with a hurri, you'll get mad rankz.

Interesting, where you get information for this statement?

Do not know about other guys, but you can take me out of this list. I flew La5 almost exclusively even when la's were not porked with fuel burn rate . Now I fly la7 for field defence/field porking only.

While I generally prefer la5 to yakU, la5 now is a pain due to cut fuel endurancy.
