If you want to discuss style, you need to talk to the Lgay pilots.  Their shoes always match their flight suits.   :D

Hmmm... only thing i can think of here is Nath - but he flew 190A-8.  Possibly you are thinking of him?

I can't recall anyone like that for the D-9.

Oh that's it Nath ! I'm still trying to find some of his movie. I did a few search, I could see his text and technique in literature but I can't find any movies. I can imagine what he says but not fully pictures it in my head. =/

Work him Co-E with a slight dive, reverse/overshoot, rinse, repeat
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

I spent a lot of time trying to get down n dirty w/ my D9. I can't kill  anything, but it also take my enemies a good 2-3 min to kill my D9. I've heard there was some really good D9 stick at tnb, I forgot his name. I tried to look for some of his movies but I couldn't find anything. He quitted maybe 3 years ago. <-- still looking for a good D9 tnb movie so I can take some note.
Same here Yenny. Lesson in futility. I think m00t's pretty good at knife-fighting with a Dora though, and the 152 too for that matter.

BnZ plane vs BnZ plane it's an easier fight. Unless you're talking D9 vs F4U-4 or Temp. FW v. 51 or FW v. 47s or other FW. are usually a good fair match.

I don't think I've seen m00t in D9, almost everytime I run into him. He would be in 152. On this note, what are the advantage 152 have over D9 for tnb action? With it's longer wing, it seems to handles a lot better at slower speed and low alt, at the same time it seems to have a bad roll rate compare to the rest of the other 190s.

I very rarely very see moot in a d9 most of his time is in a 152.

I can't remember ever seeing Nath put films up with his flying?  I can recall Morph putting one up but that was more to take the piss out of Birdo.

Never liked BnZ'ing.

I think the only thing genuine that you can know it's me now is the way I fly the P-39. Just about anyone who TnB's (except zekes and Hurri 2cs) with me remembers it. :aok

An interesting thing happened in those fights between 70 and 220 last night.  Despite the fact that there were lots of folks flying there, a number of individual fights broke out and at least in my case, I don't recall any where my team mates didn't ask if they should stay out.  I know it happened on the other side too.  For a TnB guy it was the best of both worlds as there were some big, get into the mix, and see how long you can keep going fights, as well as some great knife fights.

In that regards TnB will always be more fun for me.  Had there been those guys sitting on top just ripping through, shooting and running, it would have been much less fun.

BnZ is more fun if it pisses the other guy off :D
