sbd

I upped an sbd for the first time tonight after watching battle 360 and getting into the history mood .

WOW what a NICE plane.  Didn't know it could dogfight so well.  Just wish it had a little extra power.  Lack of firepower didn't seem a problem for me either cause I was d200 and slow anyways.

Not, and never well be a 38, but damn damn close.

The SBD is a great plane.  I wish my squad used it more then we do.  But we perfer our Hellcats, unless we are doing a "Historical" flight.  But yes, the SBD is a great turner.  If i remember right, awhile ago on the show "Dogfights" it told the story of an SBD pilot who shot down like 5 zeros or something like that....


Pretty amazing airplane!

Definately one of the more under utilized planes in this game, but fun just teh same.

If you're patient, the SBD is handy for earning lots of fighter points.  I like to cherry-pick furballs with one occasionally.  Just one kill against a 5-point bird, even if you get shot down, will earn you lots of points.

I would like to run a mission with SBDs someday, but of course nobody wants in on a mission like that in the MAs.

Hey Donkey,

I was shocked at the SBD's abilities when I flew it the first time in the AVA War #1.  She really is a fun bird to fly & dogfight in, but slowwwww.   Enjoy!

About the only thing funnier then having a latewar fighter run from your SBD is to have it run from your Val

[DPQ5]

I totally whooped some dude in his LW monster one night in a Val.  Thanks for the memory.

Hah!  Donkey, stalls and I tried the other night.  We couldn't amass enough damage on each other to kill one another.  We used the tail gun too.

If i recall, me and some friends made a kamikaze mission. It was D3As lol, Sbds, zeros, and if i recall, a TBM. We all attacked a carrier and augered with our bombs and sank it lol.

Well, that's retarded.
