What is your toughest Air to Air kill?

[swareiam]

I have found that the KI-84 is the tough aircraft in the plane set to kill A2A. What is your toughest kill?

[Noir]

I have trouble with the Ki84 also...and the N1K 

[Furball]

There is not really a certain plane type which i find specifically tough.  It is the combinations that annoy me.

For instance, you look back and see a Hurricane/A6m and P-51/La7 chasing you down. Can't use energy on one and cant outturn the other

Yip.  Ki-84 is a tough kill, especially if the pilot knows how to use it's climb.  If I am flying into a furball I will target 84s first, then Las, then spit 16s.  They can all get higher really quickly.

I hate attacking B26s too.  They are tough and always shred me.

B17s... with Spitfires in close second.

Just gotta pray one is a noob and test it out quick

N1K is problem for me as it will keep E very well and sticks to you for a long time, and all that time if you turn or climb you are dead. Did the N1K actually kept the E so well ?

Learn to aim for every targets weak spot, the wing tips.It doesnt matter what you are shooting at, ALWAYS aim for the wing tips. Not a single bird in this game is combatable after loosing its wing tip, some are better than others, but for the most part they just fly in circles like a lame duck. Wing tips..wing tips..wing tips.


Nothing else matters, not what you fly, and not what your target is.
If it has wings a engine and at least two gun's, you can make wing tiping a valuable option.

As far as any one plane giving me a problem, none.
I die because i allow the other pilot to use the planes abilitys to its advantage

If they go high, i go low, and meet them right back in the middle, they nose up and try to run away, i nose down and get more distance, the higher he climbs, the lower i go, just the more time it takes for him to DIVE back down on me.
Sometimes its fun to shakes a la7 off your p39's six.


Ahh yes, one mans fun is truly anothers hell, but i like it hot.

Jets, everything else is a toss-up in plane size, agility, speed, durability, and pilot skill/soberness.

i really hope this doesn't sound stupid......but could you elaborate on the above please? why do you dive if he goes up? i assume this to mean that you'd go up if he tried to dive away? i'm just wondering if i've been missing something by not doing these things?

thanks!!

Sir, I am a little confused by your technique. Are you saying that you dive and extend to create space, like a split "S"? Or are you bleeding away your "E" after the merge, during a climb up to reengage? The latter not being a good option, unless you know the plane your flying is a better "E" fighter than the one you just merged with. Still leaving your opponent with the advantage of altitude. Please elaborate on your thoughts more...

Cheers

Put me in the "Ki-84" camp. A well-flown Ki-84 is one of the most deadly opponents in the game.

However if you run into a Hog stick who knows how to work his flaps and E you're in for one hell of a beating.
