fav plane to fly and kill...
« on: December 27, 2007, 01:19:44 AM »
When your flying a specific plane, do you hunt a certain plane??  

Example:

When im flying the P-51D i look extra hard for 190Ds and La7s

When im flying the F6F i look extra hard for ki-84s and Nikis..


How bout you guys??  Any of you get extra excited seeing a certain plane when your flying a favorite fighter??

Well I've started flying the 38J now (love it).  I look especially hard for ponies, because that's what I used to fly, so I just look for them for some reason.  I also look for other 38's, just to see who is the better driver (although I don't see many).

La7's and Spitfire 16's are top of my list for "must shoot down"

N1k's P51-D's are next for being dweebry planes.

Anything else i see in the sky i more or less respect the pilot and expect a good fight.

Interesting post.

Now that I think about it, I'm always on the lookout to kill things that can out do what I'm trying to do in a fight. So, if I'm in a Hurri and I'm trying to spin myself dizzy in a fight, I'm going to especially target zekes.

If I'm in a dora, I'm obviously trying to E fight, so I'm going to target anything that can match my climb and thus neutralize my advantage (usually LA's, and 109K's, Spixteens, and tempests if theyre around)

If I'm in something like a spit 9, which I could potentially do anything in, I just target LA-7's.

in an 80th 38G I look for Japanese birds since the 80th was a PTO based 38 squadron.

If I'm in an ETO marked 38, I look for LW birds.  If it's MTO I look for Italian or LW birds.

Doesn't mean I don't shoot at anything red, but I'm  more apt to turn on the film for a historical match up in hopes of getting a good screenshot too.

In an F6f I look for anything I can kill, in an fm2 I look for anything I can kill.....basically in any plane I look for something I can kill.



I let you know when I find one. I don't get excited to see any plane, because they all kill me....even the ones flown by numbers:(

I look for the planes with red icons.  I have noticed if you shoot the green icon planes you die instead. :lol  Actually, other Spits are my preferred target.

When I am flying my 38 I am looking mainly for jap planes. I also tend to mix it up with other 38s.

I rarely fly anything else.

In the FM-2 i look for Zekes and Spits and Niki's, La's are also on the list of must kill first. Mossies are the easiest targets it seems.F4u is the most fun fight if the driver is good.
In the Jug i look for the biggest enemy planes i can find!also P-51's are a favorite target,P-38's as well! i hate any thing i see above me in the Jug tho!
In the p-38  i look for P-51's.

Comon guys, be REAL!!! Everyone looks to have an advantage over whatever else is in the fight. If you are high in a 190D you are going to BnZ (Cherrypick) and if you're in a Spit 16 you are going to get into a turn fight. So it is reasonble to assume that, in that spit, you would try to get your 190D adversary to fight  a turning fight, the fight that favors your ride (if you're smart) and if your Dora is above a Spit16 you will zoom down on him like hell's fury and zap him before he can reverse (for example).

Am I right or is Idealism and fighting a "fair" fight the new rage in Aces High?
