Word of warning to 999000 and Bombrich
« Reply #30 on: November 01, 2007, 06:16:13 AM »
Un fortunatly, at least for us, the fighter is the one who controls the engagement. Ive had many fighters come in at poor angles, get dinged, and then break off. Do I blame them or think they are cowards?? Of course not!

                         Really, why would anyone want to continue with an attack profile thats going to result in hitting the chutes? And at the same time why would anyone blame a bomber stick for wanting to get at least a reasonable amount of air under him?

                      Ah, well, theres a lot of things I'd like to say now but I have to go to work. Toons who do you fly with? I dont believe we have ever met in the air.

speaking of which about poor angels, last night got shot down by set of Lancs because I came low and behind not realizing the Lancs had a ball turret attached. Actually instead of going going vert straight up under it, I came in little low and behind which was a mistake, happens.

Hold about a 20-1 ratio in a P-51B, then get back to me.

Lanc's have a ball turret???

Of all the crazy things I like to do with a buff, gunship is the best. Get over water drop ords fly past a furball. almost like being a specter (or as some call it, Puff the Magic Dragon). I just wish the friendlies would take a hint and line the nme up while they take the bait.

Funny you should say that.

I took up a Ta152 for the first time the other day to hunt buffs.

Climb rate is pretty bad, but man, that plane just floats up above 20k.

Problem was running out of ammo.  While that 30mm is awesome, I find that I have to get up close and personal to hit with it, which is always dangerous around a flight of bombers if the guy can shoot at all.  Shooting from distance just burned up all my ammo.

I like the Ta-152 but it takes radiator damage way too easy.

The 190A-8 is the best buff hunter up to about 25K.  Above that the 110G-2 is the ultimate buff hunter and both have far superior armor and gun packages to the Ta-152.

FYI Two of the VERY BEST at attacking Bombers are SHAWK and WMLUTE. you could learn alot from them..both class acts... that you want to honor with your best effort!

I will be the first to admit that my B24 gunnery skills are awesome. I guess I'm becoming a little to saucy for all of you self proclaimed 'Buff Killers'. The only person that I know who has pwned me consistently is Stang. However, the last time I ran into him was early summer. I want you guys to bring it, and bring it hard. I'm tired of landing your skins. <>:aok


P.S.--How do you like my computer specs? Jealous?.....I thought so..lol
