Thanks for all the inputs guys.
Cobia, I still remember that night in Mid-war. Damn that was one of the most frustrating nights I've ever had. I just couldn't get up and on your A-20 and died so many times in the process of trying.
I've been experimenting some more in the MA. I haven't been flying in pure dogfight mode, no point in that, but using it as an attack A/C and then shooting at enemy planes when I have to. That nose gun is devastating to enemy planes.
I haven't really improved much 1v1, but I've found some success when I'm above cons on the deck. I don't think alot of folks perceive the A-20 as a threat and if I can engage from a position of advantage I can get snapshot kills pretty quick. I've also noticed that the A-20 can soak up a ton of 50 cal without going down.
The only thing that's really bumming me out is that the attack perks go to bomber than fighter. I have no use for bomber perks.
I haven't really explored the attack side of AH too much and I'm enjoying the learning curve so far.
