C47, cuz it's full of angry drunks   :eek:

Airframe-wise: Tempest, P51, K4.  Temp and 51 because they close distances so quickly while you are occupied requiring a higher SA "refresh rate" in a fight. K4 because as soon as you start heading home alone, low on ammo and fuel one will auto-spawn on your long 6.

As for highest concentrations of pilot quality: A P38G or J is interesting followed by 109s followed by INK, his metachlorian count is amazing. I always seem to eke out the win, but the requisite 6  friendlies might have had something to do with that... :uhoh

I agree with this.  I was running into K4s a lot in the last month and I could tell who it was by how it was flown.  I told BillyD one night that I could tell right off by the opening move he was making.  Agent tends to fly his K4 in a certain way too.

I think the other thing is you start to note in Latewar in particular who isn't flying the latest and greatest and watch for them.  That and you notice who knows what a throttle is and who doesn't, in particular in the BnZ birds.  Some of the 51 drivers are never going to hit anything because they drop from so high, going so fast that you can defeat their shot no problem.  And if you stick around a certain fight long enough, you know who is there and which birds are the bigger threat.

I suppose some of us would live longer too if we flew more 'anonymous' birds, but I kinda like knowing my 38G is going to be a target right away because it's a 38G :)


The pony drivers that excell at long arm shots, say 800-1K are very tough customers indead!

No doubt the p38G is a primo target!! Now see what you've started corky!  :furious   :aok :aok  :rofl :rofl

Don't "sorry" me.  I'm right, even though you think I'm wrong because the facts is this:  At the end of the day no matter who you are fighting against, he can't make the plane do what it simply can't do.  So again, fight the plane not the pilot.  Unless you want to put yourself in that plane's envelope on purpose, in that case to each their own.

I've been flying WWII air combat sims for 12 years.  Don't tell me I'm wrong.

You're wrong and I have more experience playing these games than you do.

Woe is me.  Some dude named Lazerr on the internet called me names. 

In case you missed it, Ack's message to me was the same as mine.  So I guess what goes for me goes for him also.   :salute

Well there are some differences between you and AKAK.

1  You seem to think that merely being around flight sims for 12 years means you are correct all the time, in spite of the fact that everyone else who posted about it said you are wrong.

2  AKAK, after playing for many years, doesn't suck at AHII. You  do.             :aok

I'm not a big stats guy but I'd venture you've got an awful lot to learn after taking a gander. I cant see anything that would lead me to believe you've got above average ACM skills. Statistically my numbers last month in the LWA in an A-20 are better then your G6 numbers. Whats funny is that if you look at my A-20 stats I've got the most kills vs spitXVI and second is P-51.

Using skuzzy's uber stats page I was 15-3 in the LWA last tour vs spits of all flavors in the A-20. And the guys your in a pissing match with smack me around regularly. I'd just realize that your comments simply show how much room you have to improve...
