I never thought much of the F6 until I ran into the likes of Mathman, Drex, Wadke and a few others. I quickly changed my mind.

its one of the better multi-role fighters when you get in the nitty gritty.

Excellent, a very succinct and accurate analysis.

Bottom line: Its a fun aerotoon to pretend to fly in.

The F6F is a beast.

I still get pissed remembering Wadke in an F6 repeatedly killing about four of us. Occasionally we'd get him with a lucky pick, then he'd return to spank us. To this day, I don't try to saddle up on an F6 too soon. Where is Wadke?

Maybe it doesn't excel in "certain situations". It does excel when trying to capture bases or kill red guys.

The wings are too straight for my taste. It'd be perfect w/ gullwings.

HONK!

I think he's one of those jet sim weenies now. He just noticed we'd booted him the other day, so he's apparently still lurking. Probably been a year since I've seen him in game, though.

You FKA Ptvipe by chance?

Ah, saw you on the other night, and the mention that you were back after a hiatus. Mistaken cartoon identity, probably caused in part by bourbon.

Gooss, wadke's not been flying for a while now.

He pops his head in the BK forum now and again, but he's been pretty busy with real life, work, school, etc. I miss the little doofus too.
