the one 300-400 flying straight-ish on my direct 12...  can't hit them for crap...
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

P-47's expecially if it's a razor back. Don't see to many of them around and when I do it's usualy an ace flying the thing. Yucca comes to mind as someone who has handed me my head on more than one occasion while flying a D11 Jug. Most of the guys in the 56th are very deadly in the Jugs.

I can normally tell within the first turn if I'm going to be in trouble or not, but even then by the time I realize it, it's probably to late.

A8TOOL .. Im not afraid of the 262s i get mad at them thow.. their to damn fast, bit that makes it easy to force them to overshoot, but when u see one.. it seems like their always around, never die. i never killed one, and im fighting one plane and gota keep a eye on the damn 262, its like he is everywere at the same time..

like i said,, i fly with the F6F. and when i see another one, i think,, ohh boy, cuz i know the F6F can take a beatin and still fly, i know i cant shot the living hell out of it and still see it glaze threw the sky and that gets me mad..  :mad:

I like going against 38s their big targets, 190s are hard to sneak up behind them, but i like going 1 on 1 with them..
Just for fun

it truly shouldn't be the plane that scares ya, it should be the pilot, a great 38 stick can make you look silly in a zero, planes cant do anything with out the pilot, now i know that there are better planes, and some planes are just better at doing one thing or another, but the point remains the plane can do nothing, it is the stick controlling that LA7 that just out turned your spit.
 that being said
the planes, and pilots i worry about, are the ones i seek out, those are the ones that you can learn from, i relish a good 1vs 1 with AKdogg, in his f4 the guy is a wizard in that plane,  
or wingzero in his N1k, again he knows that plane so well, it does not matter what you are flying, you will know he is great, and Lazer he is another one,
so i hope i offended no one, but it truly is the stick to worry about not the plane

Yep.  I have no troubles with any plane in the planeset, however, there are few pilots that can give me some trouble.

If I'm in a 17/24/26's, I fear no single fighter plane, not even Snail's 262.  But it does seem that you guys are getting wise and attacking two at a time.  No matter the planes, unless there is a large aerodynamic difference between them, I get a little nervous.

In a fighter, I worry about all!  In the last 3 months I have gotten so much better, but I know deep down, I'm not much of a fighter pilot.

The F4u and 38 are funny in this game cause you'll usually will get an easy kill or you'll get shredded.  I don't find many varying skill levels w/ those planes.  If Headhunters or good F4u guys r in the area i stay cautious. Btw, i suck at both, and fear my P-40B.

My worst enemy in this game is the ground!!

I can't count the amount of times I have done a reverse and was just off by a little bit and Booom! 2690436 shot you down, without ever getting a hit on me.

Usually happens more when I have multiple cons on me, but happens in 1v1 too.

Well flown Yaks and Ki-84s, which seem to be most of them these days, are my biggest concern lately. But, anyone who really knows their plane is really dangerous, no matter what plane it is.
