Plane you fear most?

[BnZs]

Just watch out for the ace who sprays a wild ho shot and misses from D2000 only to trick you and destroy you before you realise it is not a 2 week zipcode.

*WARNING* to all players: If you do this, you may have fun winning at AHII now, but you *will* got to Hell later.  They'll marinate and fry you on the same level with all the cannibal serial murderers and that guy who keeps producing Ben Stiller movies....

I fear the picker!

Amen...  Most of them fly P51s or Typhies...  Throw in an occaisional 190, well maybe a bit more then occaisional... 

Basically anyone who won't fight unless they have at least 5k in alt advantage.

I actually much prefer anything that comes in for a relatively co-alt merge.  Even a Spixteen will usually go for a couple of turns before he tries to run.  It's the wildly popular hi alt Pony horde, which is waaay too common, that I fear.  It usually results in me moving to a different area of the map to look for someone who actually wants to try and fight, instead of someone whose idea of fun is attempting to shoot the proverbial fish in a barrel and padding their score.

Us pony drivers are so typecast.

You know...  I have run across a few Pony drivers who are interested in fighting.  Very few.

The vast majority fall into the one pass haul buttocks category.

Steve, my apologies if you get lumped into the group that flies your ride in the snooze mode...

Aww I don't mind...you are right about them, with some few exceptions.

I always enjoy the exceptions...  Unfortunately they ARE exceptions to the rule...  The normal are the bore tards, as I like to call them.

well my new plane I fear/hate!

the damn Typhoon/ temp pilot, Flys in with 5k alt advantage, dives, shoots and runs away, turns around and repeat

I think "slyguy" and "skytiger" are one and the same.

Sounds very plausible

i fear no plane because:

its the man, not the machine

I don't know about Fear, but I think the KI84 is the hardest to fight against.

OlDemon in that 51 of his. No matter what I'm in, he will be behind me and shooting me down in no time! 

Oh, and don't kid yourself...Fear the peeelot!

[CAP1]

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.

any one of them in the set, if they're flown by a skilled pilot. an excellent pile-it can take an ew plane, and in most cases easily take on a poor, or average pile-it in just about any plane of his choice.

I think people who stick to 1 particular type of fighting are the least to fear, they fly planes that are REALLY REALLY good at 1 thing..  speed, turning, or guns.. etc

and what kills them is the mentality that they go into the fight with..  "im in a good turn fighter, so thats what im going to do, turn fight"  they have no other game plan beyond that, so if you refuse to fight their fight, they are lost..

the people (in the plane) to fear the most are the people who fly the fight, not the plane.  they go into the fight with a game plan too, to kill you, and they know numerous ways to do this. With people like these there is no "your fight" or "their fight" just THE fight.

these people seem to gravitate more towards aircraft that have no 1 magic power, but that are useful all around, decent speed, turning, useful guns...   they don't need 1 overwhelming superpower to be effective, they know what they can do, and what you CANNOT do, and will move forward along those lines until you are dead.

One of the best posts I seen in a long time

I fly the BF 109-K4 and I like it because it is a picture of many colors to say, I haven't found a real weakness except for my skill's. But it still does things that surprise me and I have to log to watch the film to see just how I did it. And I'm just now starting to realize some of it's potential's, I have heard it wasn't a TnB but at time's I have surprised spits (and myself ). It pull's E out of no where, it has great rudder control (got me out of a pickle more than once), "One Shot One Kill" enough said about that, and it comes from under enemy planes and just flat out climb's them. I have been playing for about 3 years now and it is the only plane that I have flown that I can't wait to log on and hunt for a fight in, I have so much confidence in it. I'm not intimidated by other planes in the game because I know I have a chance and if I can time my lead turn right on the merge the fight is all but over ( not always, but that's how I feel when flying the K4). And if anything, I get killed more now because I  think my little 109 is top dog and its capable of anything, than me second guessing myself and making all the wrong moves. I don't want to sound arrogant and that's not what I'm trying insinuate, I just found a ride in the game that fits me like a glove, so I can honestly say I don't fear any other plane in the game no matter who the driver is.
