Plane you fear most?
« on: January 29, 2009, 04:40:33 PM »
Subject pretty much sums it up, which plane do you have the most trouble fighting? Mine is the KI84, I have a heck of a time shaking them, Seem to dive fairly well, they turn on a dime, and climb forever. Absolutely hate finding one of them 1v1.

109F or F4U4. 109F can do anything any other plane can do, and a U4 because at 10,000 FT., it can beat anyting.

I don't fear ANY plane.  I don't "fear" pilots.  But there are those that I know will put up a hell of a fight.

Well, I suck, so I fear any plane, normally the ones below me. :)

That's true, but only to a certain extent. Against a great stick in a mediocre plane, if I keep my speed up, the fight is mine to lose, and I can at least escape if I realize I'm in over my head. Against a great stick in a K-4 or a U-4 (and sometimes a pony), this does me no good, because an Uber-stick in one of these rides will simply come get me and dictate the fight on his terms. So yes, "Fear" is probably the wrong word, but "Concern" certainly applies. :uhoh
