I see alot more N1K's Typh's and Spits than La La's out there. The only people that complain are the ones getting shot down by them. The ones who think they should be perked IMHO would be smart to fly a plane that is that superior to other planes if it is free.:aok

Look for the guys with the big cannons.  That's all you need to know.  LAs N1Ks, Tiffies, and Hurri IIcs.

I seem to see more Hurri IIcs now more then ever with those 4 20mm.

Check the scores and your top 5 are

LA7 with 18000 + kills
N1K with 16000 + kills
Spit XVI with 15000 + kills
P51D with 10900 + kills
Hurri IIc  with 10100 + kills.

Tiffie is 6th with 8400 + kills
190D9 with 5300 + is 7th

Nothing else even close.  Most of the other birds in the 3000  kills or below range.

Big cannons or speed merchants seem to be the MA choice.

im at the other end of the scale. I fly Spit 1. Terrible i no, but people underestimate it. I could outturn a La7 any day and I can fight well with a Spit 16! Other day had a huge long dogfight, best ive ever had, in FT. After 15 minutes or so of a brilliant fight (where i managed to strafe the guy two or three times) I eventually got cherry picked just as i was lining him up for the final volley of fire. Leave them both alone. Brilliant planes, but can be taken out with relative ease

I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

I saw more than a dozen Sunday evening... I was trying to land a low-fuel A-20 when the raid arrived. Forced to stay airborne, I killed a couple and assisted on several more. I eventually belly landed on the runway when the last two ran for home, missing one elevator, one flap and the right main landing gear. Nonetheless, it was fun.

My regards,

Yes i too saw loads of typhies the other day all very low on the deck and looking for a fight it must av been a mission or something i had just won a 2 v 1 situation wich doesnt happen a lot for me as i was about to line up the runway for my approach to land there must av been at least 10 typhies coming straight at my base needless to say i turned to fight but got slaughtered by the first few lol it was that or get killed while landing :D
