I need a new 'furball' ride
« on: October 17, 2007, 02:12:10 PM »
Hi all,
Last night was a classic furball situation in LW Orange.  It was that all landmass map and where the three country's bases are in close proximity, that little triangle thing, there was a constant furball going on.

Generally in this situation I take a Spit- usually the Spit 16.  It turns great, doesn't really compress, and has enough spunk to play fast and also play turny.

Anyway, I'm kinda bored with the Spit, but I don't really know what else to take into a full on furball situation.  Something that is going to be able to hold its own when there's red icons everywhere.

I see alot of Ponys (especially last night) but I don't know that the Pony is really a furball'n plane.

I've been eyeing the N1K.  I see alot of folks flying those and the Ki-84, but I'm kinda adverse to Japanese planes because they are so weak.

At any rate, what do y'all think?  What else should a spit driver be trying out in the AH lineup?

I agree with that.. Hurri 2 is a good choice, Ki84 is another good one.

Actually a FM2 would be good, a little underpowered but turns great and takes alot more punishment then a Spit

Niki is good.  109G2- F4 are ok.  F4U-1D or 1C and always, the P40
