Good luck.

Dweebfire, runstang, altmonkey 109's. Its all said in good fun. I dont really believe all 190 drivers are running HO dweebs but its fun to blurt it out from time to time while cruseing around in my sissyfire.

Tell 'em all to stick it! They just don't appreciate how difficult it is to manipulate rudder pedals wearing heels!

I never claimed I was actually any good, but I would like to have an option to do something besides die when I get seen by an enemy aircraft.

I've tried using the Spit IX as an energy fighter, came down so fast I was almost not controlable, missed my target and then had to use all of my WEP and fuel to outrun a low P-38 that gave chase. I barely outran a guy who had been circling 5,000 feet below me. I never did a energy bleeding turn and I barely outran this guy. If he'd been in a 109G-10, P-51 or a Corsair I would have died.

There are some/many pilots who are very good, I'm not saying that it isn't possible to survive if you're good. While Mitsu (one of the best fighter pilots) was up in a Zero killing A-5s, I was in a Zero being killed by F4U-1Cs, A-5s and N1K2s. The reason my accuracy is so bad is that I have to fire from a range of 800. I can't get any closer than that. I guess I could keep my accuracy score up by never firing.

I can't fly as much as you guys because I work long hours. I have, maybe, 1 hour a night to play.

I have flown the 109G-2. Once. Its slower and less manueverable than the Spit. I died very quickly in it.

I think maybe that I am simply not in a position to play this kind of game. It requires a larger time investment than I can make.

I'm not quitting yet, but I don't see an relief in sight.

I don't really have too much a problem with any one plane, but that don't stop me from a-bashing one if I lose a fight.

My current favorite pissyname is "F4Dweeb-r-U 1Crutch".

Then again I like the P-38 and everyone just calls me a BIGFAH target...

Karnak, are you in a squad? Life expectancy raises sharply when flying with wingman, squadmates.

Karnak;

I would recomend a short break, possibly suffering from burn-out?

For myself, when I get tired of getting shot down too often (way too often). I just take 2-3 days up to a week off from AH. Then my excitation comes roaring back.

Good Luck to You!

you all guys forget that we are here just for fun , well at least me , in my 4 weeks time playing this game I have heared many things about this plane and the other , if you fly an f4u people blame you if you fly an spit people blame you, if you are a pony driver people says your a runner, I think all the people that blames others just for fly his lovely planes and his own tactics are just a bunch of stupid kids that never whant to lose, so what if im a runner or cannon or hog altidut figt if you continue in this way just go and fly other simulator or request to HT to make an arena where just bombers can fly and just log there. I allways will fly the plane I like and the tactics I feel better if you dont like it who cares? me no

the other day I shoot down another guy with a f4u-c and he sends me this message "terra you are an dweeb" in that moment I dont understand it because my english is poor I now I now what this mean
hey why he insults me just because I shoot him down with the f4u should I use allways an m-16 to dont be blamed? well thats just my way to see that things

Now that i have my 190 i no longer hate any planes! From this day forward i will not call anyone a dweeb for flying a particular airplane

(pending future aircraft, of course)

Karnak:

Well, your nazi statement is just dumb. Really dumb, youre flying a "jap" aircraft, the japanese committed as many attrocities in ww2 as the germans did (ever hear of bataan?) so thats just an idiot response. Flying a plane does NOT mean you sympathize with that countries politics.

Now, on to your flying. Try the mustang. It is one of the top 3 planes in the game, it can always get away and chase things down. Give it a try, its no TnB but if you fly it right you can outturn p38s, 109s, 190s, and other stangs

F4UDOA · « **Reply #41 on:** June 22, 2000, 10:29:00 AM »

Westy,

You may not like the term "Nazi aircraft" but like it or not that's what it is. It has a swastika(spelling oops) on the tail and everything. It was built by Nazi's and flown by Nazi's. Some people do not distinguish between the people and the plane. It is not wrong it is a choice. A very personal choice. I have read the JG26 war diaries and I understand that not all pilots were politically Nazies but they all fought to further the Nazi cause. That is enough for many to choose not to fly those A/C. There are people in this world who choose to wear Charles Manson T-shirts. Does it make them a murderer? No, but it is disturbing to some. Some people burn the American flag, does this make you a traitor? No, but it certainly doesn't make you a patriot. Would you wear a swastika to represent yourself anywhere else but in this community? I am not trying to offend anyone although I'm sure I just did. But I think some people in the Warbird community take the "Nazi" symbol way to lightly. It will be for all time a representation of what it is and was.
I know this is out of place in this forum so I'll get of my soapbox.

Thanks
F4UDOA

I'm not blaming anybody and I don't call other planes insulting names that insinuate that those who fly them are cheating. Sorry to start this whine session. I'm under quite a bit of stress in reality right now, and one way that I try to relax is to play a game. Its just that trying my best and flying as hard as I can only to die repeatedly isn't relaxing. 1 Zero against to BnZing F4U-1Cs is a losing proposition. I'm kinda pleased that it took them 5 passes to get me. But I still died.

About the Nazi aircraft thing. What I mean is not that people who fly them are Nazis, but that I can't separate what they were used to defend. I can't make it "just another fighter" in my mind. For what ever reason, I can do that with the Japanese aircraft. This is me personally. I have no problem with anybody flying German aircraft. My roommate prefers to fly the 109. I personally cannot be comfortable or enjoy the fight when I fly in a German aircraft. Thats just me. I was trying to explain why I won't fly the Fw190A-5.

Karnak plse stay,

we all get some frustrating periodes from time to time ,)

Try the niki for t&b or make some runs in the p51 for b& z.
Mustang is a great plane + always has the ability to escape if flown smart.

Other than this, don't give a damn on ch 1 babeling. Heck, my whole squad (eurepean sector)is whininig is i fly to many sorties in my runstang

As someone said in this thread already Karnak, if 2 hi F4Us catch you with alt, in a slower aircraft, you should expect to die: I certainly would. If I survive in that situation, it's because the bad guys have done something wrong, not because I'm a bad pilot. Although I may question my SA...

It's kind of easy to get frustrated after being shot down, take off in a rage and dive into the first fight you see, desperate for Revenge

When you (inevitably) die as a result, the whole process can (equally inevitably) repeat itself.

If you are patient, and tired of dying, work on your SA. Only commit yourself to a fight if you can A) Win and B) Disengage if things go badly. Boring? Maybe, maybe not. But it sounds like more fun than you're having right now.

*HINT* Flying with a wingie helps with both of these, as does training

Good Luck
