My trouble is that I cant pay attention to one plane long enough  to be sure what I'm switching from.

If you're already spitting ice, then it HAS to be the P-40 with the Aleutian Tiger on it!

Im thinking of trying the 202 out. Gonna take alot of trying and dying but I think it will be fun. This past camp I flew mostly P40E. Id do the B but its too related for this.  

    If you havent used the P40E much, I recommend it. But you need to fly it more than 2 days to give an opinion. This is a perfect opportunity.

been doin it ..have done it ..got the T-shirt an stuff.

It's a great way to get a handle on just where the weaknesses are in other planes.

In AW for a long time I useda fly the stang one camp, then a different plane for the next camp, then back to the stang .. etc .. for years.

In AH.. since I am still learnin to shoot and learnin where the break points are for lead turns an such .. I am flyin the Spit 9, 5, and 8 this camp, depending on mission of the moment.

Next camp will be stang camp for me.. B an D.

Then Niki-Ki types.   .. then back to stang . . etc.

After a coupla years I will be 'good' in the stang .. again :)

I've pretty much always done this, and it's pretty much prevented me from learning any one plane well enough to be dangerous to anyone but myself.

Therefore I strongly suggest that everyone flies a plane they hate next camp, so maybe I can kill someone. That would be great.

Another variation for those with no patience is to try the old Air Warrior "Cycle" (harder to do here) of at least one kill in every PILOT gunned plane in the MA in a month.

MIShill that could be fun too.  I tried out the 202 tonight. I got 13 kills with 8 deaths. The thing isnt as slow as I thought it was. Its kinda weak, and the guns are rather lacking. Should be an interesting campaign.
