I have had a lot of success in the tempest, lately, andi landed 10 kills in 1 in 8 player at the tiny map.

I also really LOVE the p51d, but its not going do well with my tactics. is there a way i can improve with this, or should i stick with the tempest?



I rarely laugh out loud while reading a post, this was an exception to that rule.

The guy is just starting to perfect his technique.  The Val (and Kate) are really planes for the experts, because they compress so quickly in the initial dive.

You get your school supply list yet? IF so...take out that Big Chief Tablet and make notes from the replies.

Also, that Ninja Turtle / Spiderman 2 lunch box will smell funny if you leave bologna sandwiches in there to long.

Don't open your carton of milk from the wrong end.

Always take a trade if pudding is involved.

And last but certainly not least , the giving the teacher and apple thingy , doesn't work. Anyone with your intelligence couldn't do anything to make her think your smarter.

I dont like the HO but if some one is inclined too..

i've had very good sucess w/ the P38...

trick is ,to be zoomed in...

Start shooting at D1000, you'll start getting getting hits at D800, and to break of at D 500 to 400 (dont get greedy) or so depending on the opponent

B-25H, no special technique. If you enlist a gunner, you can do a magic "reverse head-on" trick whereby you present your rump to the enemy - like a bonobo chimp - and shoot them with the turrets.

HOing is definately part of the game but, HO used as a tactic IS kinda silly.  50/50 chance of getting wasted yourself.  Honestly though, if I do find myself getting HOed, I will fire.  In the same vein, if I turn and find myself looking at a HO shot (especially in a furball when my SA is in the crapper), you better believe I am gonna put rounds downrange (better than no shot).  I do not intentionally HO because it is an iffy tactic, and I'd rather make someone chase me to kill me.    
  The aircraft/loadouts mentioned by the trainers are the best  for HOing, and at times it is also necessary to fight fire with fire.  But if you are planning on HOing all the time and announcing (read trolling) about it, be prepared to become a target since we know your name.  Also be prepared to die a lot.

Many a time i have taken off with the C47 and had awsome success in the HO.The plane is a massive Boing tank that can absorb 90% of any ho cannon fodder plane.
