P-39D because I like to fly it, and if it's not dweeby I can feel smug and good about myself when I get a kill in it.  :D

I realise least talent to get kills goes to probably in this order:

1) LA7 zeek2
2) Nikkizeek5
3) Spit 16 hurri2

And really any Uber turn plane like Zero or Brewster if you can get some newb to try and turn with you in anything else.

Least Dweeb though Spit 14 I reckon cos we all know its not at all easy to fly but still got a 1.9 Kill to death in tour 115. So whoever was flying generally had some skill and or talent is my logic. ;)

the three i just added, are all much easier to fly than what was originally listed.

Which is dweebier? Upping an LA-7 when 20 cons roll in, in a raid. Outnumbering you 10 to 1. Or upping a Brewster and flying to the next sector over, where the color is all green, in order to vulch upp some easy perk points?

So I shoose dweeby planes by the way they are flown and not by their eny. In that regard the pick and run FW-run90s and NA P-51 run-stang are tops for dweebyness. They are the biggest stick stirrers as well.

In the spirit of nonDweeb status, I commit myself to no longer fly the Hurri IIc, Zeke5b, N1K2J, LALA or any Spit above a Spit V, and shall make my new (semi)full-time ride the P-38J.  :D

Stuka,

SBD...

Light.   ;)

As far as "fighters" go:

P-40 B
C .202 (though admittedly, I love this bird and its 2 crappy 12.7s  :aok)
190 F8 for anything other than BnZing furballs
Hurri 1 against anyone with a brain  (hint - don't try and turn with it)
Arguably a D25 Jug, since it doesn't have the engine of the N or the agility of the 11.  That being said, still a capable bird.

Better question ... Who the F cares what is or isn't the dweebiest planes ?

Does it really matter ? ... nope

Will establishing this "fact" make any difference in anything ? ... nope.

Will discussing this for the one billionth time change anything ... nope.

Agreed I just wanted to work out which planes were least and most likely to contain a Dweeb for some reason :frown: I cant remember why.

My hypothesis was essentially sound though and no one wnats to refute it.

Spit 14 is tuff to kill in (unstable gun platform) and vulnerable to be horded. Also unstable down low but stilll kills nearly 2 for 1. People flying it must be generally reasonably skillfull as it hardly justifies any cost in perks yet it is nearly always 10 or more.

Yeh, I've been flying it on and off for a while, when I really feel like lowering my K/D back to a point where no one takes me seriously!  :lol

Started flying it a lot more in the last week or so, and as long as I can delay doing something dumb I can usually score (on average) 2-3 kills, before doing something dumb and getting killed. Landed 4 in it a few nights ago on one sortie, which for a newb like me I think isn't bad.  :uhoh Most time, though, folks turn me into aluminum confetti as I can't seem to make myself stay out of the turning furball (must....break...zeke.... habits....).
