Who do you hunt?
« on: December 02, 2007, 09:10:18 PM »
My question is this:

I search for GV action and any sitiuation I can warrant using an Il-2 in no matter where the battle may be, but I will still up more of my missions against the Bishops than the Knights.

Perhaps this is a natural result of having flown for Bish for 2 years before taking the king's shilling's when the Rookland press gang caught me in a dimly lit, waterside pub one night.  

What country to you most often fly against in the Arena and why?

I don't pick on one country more than the other, but I do go after the La's and zekes first when entering a fight. La's are the very fast, very maneuverable, very annoying planes that I really want dead, and zekes are just pointless to try and turn fight against them, so I hit-and-run on them.

Nits horde just as much or IMO more than rooks. I used to swap countries more than I do now and it seemed whenever I flew on nits if there were 2 fronts to fight.,Well 90% of them would be hording at one end of the map. Then  a few suckers would be trying to defend the other side and would get hung out to dry by the other nits enjoying their horde.

Funny how some flame others, but have atrocious spelling to "highlight their ineptness" even more.

It's always fun to GV hunting, no matter what side you're on... especially when you can switch from attack to fighter mode.
Therefore, the F4U-1D is the ride of choice. If the Spitfire IX had all 3 hardpoints, I'd fly that as there's no way in heck I'm hopping in one of those Spixteens... ugly lot they are.

Generally I'm on a mission or other goal oriented task (what a novel idea!)  but when im having "me" time I tend to skirt furballs/"horde" areas for 1v1 action or go buff hunting when i see suspicious dar bar.

Hardly novel. My missions are ALWAYS goal oriented. My goal is usually to find a great horde of dweebs all looking the other way.....then, I wack 'em all with a boat paddle!!!! Now THAT'S a goal. :)

My public affirmation of detest is thus :-

Bishops because 1) Their the most gamey. 2) The least skilled. 3) Mostly work in numbers / hoards 4) They would rather GV than fly (see 2) 5) The most timid 6) Lack vet moral leadership (see 1) 7) With a few exception haven't got a tactical clue:rolleyes:

Having said that, left to their own devises, they will sweep across the board. To me Bishops, more often than not are like snowmen.  When things get hot they MELT away.

Knight on the other hand could be a force to be reckoned with now that their numbers are slowly picking up..... look forward to it to :aok.
