Chalk me down with Joker2 as annoyance rather than fear:

Tempests - Because they always hover around 20-25k and run at the first sign of a co-alt con. If they can't pick it from a 10k alt advantage they won't fight. Most over-inflated K/D of any plane in the game.

262s, probably the MOST annoying and for much the same reason as above. IMO they should be restricted to the HQ base with the 163. MAYBE I'll give them the Zone base for strat targets, as well, but they shouldn't be available at every field.

P-51s - A lesser annoyance, but again, for much the same reason as the Tempests.

Ok, there IS one plane I fear: A B-17 with 999000 manning the guns. :O

If you have any alt to use, a KI84 is easy to disengage from. Point your nose at the ground & haul arse. The KI controls get pretty heavy at high speeds & then they start shedding parts. Simply get a little separation & re-engage.

And while you dive for the ground screaming mommy the Frank pilots get to laugh about you being a wussy.   :D

Closest to fear is prolly B17's deathstar defense. 

But isn't your fighter small enough to avoid the turbolaser defense system?  Surely, they need to destroy you ship to ship moot.

How can you kill that which has no life?   I fear the uber-stick, regardless of ride :D

...also clowns.

Personally I dread the hurri 1. Simply because its either a mad man/woman behind the yolk or a damn good stick who is confident in getting kills with the Peashooters and in a 'Underdog' plane. Its a 50/50 chance, and if its a decent stick, I find myself on a short trip to the tower.

Spit IX are the planes that send the most chills up my spine at any altitude.
#1: Usually a mediocre stick can fly it well (NOTE: This is NOT an opening salvo for a flame war, just calling a spade a spade).
#2: Visit www.danosacm.com, check out some of the films (especially www.danosacm.com/films/fw_12_13_02.zip at the bottom of the home page) and you will see that I LOVE to knife fight in a phone booth, against anything(s), with a FW.   :aok
#3: #2 makes it quite a duel vs a Spit IX and against a good stick in a SPIT IX there is very little room for mistakes. The have excellent E retention, seem to take a lot of punishment, and can definitely put some holes in you and/or your ride.

Sure, but I've never seen that actually happen unless you mean "come back 5-10 minutes later when you hope he isn't looking" when you say "re-engage",  Every time I have had something that could dive away do so, it didn't come back.

I guess that's the difference between you and I, when I engage ANY NME, at an advantage or not, no matter what plane I am in, or going against, I want the best stick possible to be flying that plane, other wise it will be boring and I will learn nothing.

I want to engage the best there is, and if they are flying a "uber" ride all that much better.

Yup.  Most times I have to show them some tail feathers to get them to consider coming back.  Had a spat with Doc(random numbers)CH at lunch.  P51 shows up 3.5k above me and I'm around 6-7k.  One pass, notice his tanks are still on.

200:420ace: wiff p51!
200:420ace: why don't you come down and play?

I'm moving away from the field and friendlies to show I'm not just wanting to drag him to a gang.  Another pass and on this one he lands some pings.  Up and away he goes.

Third pass I handily reverse and get a guns solution.  he was under my nose so I didn't see any hit sprites but as he passes to the left I swear I see the puffs from the hits.

P51 goes nose down and leaves the area.  I'm about bingo fuel and inform him on 200 I'm not going to waste my time chasing him down.  He claims I landed no hits but oddly enough I get the assist on him while lining up my landing.  :D  So he lied to me.  What a lamer.

I'm not talking about timid lamers who run away when they lose the advantage. :rolleyes:
