Zeke is not an easy kill with a good pilot in it, although practically anything can leave the fight at will when it isn't going their way. The REAL problem you face though, is if the Zeke pilot, good, bad or indifferent, realizes you won't play his game and decides to simply swap ends and HO on every pass, which thing he can easily do. Then you have your choice of destroying the fool while likely taking bad damage himself or just finding a less asinine target.


Yes, but what I've found with around 50% of zeke pilots is that they get too focused on who they're going after and their SA steeply declines for about 2mins (they get a check 6 call, and remember for a bit) or untill they make their kill.

And you can't really know who is going after you instead of the guy dragging off your chase plane.

My highest kill sortie ever was in the A6M5b, 12 kills, no vulchs and no rearm.  Not many luftberry turnfests either.  Lots of snap shots and quick kills in a quarter turn.  I am not really very good though, I was just in the groove that day.  My other high kills in one sortie are 8 and I've done that in the P-38L, Typhoon, Mosquito, N1K2-J and Ki-84.

nice. Better than mine. I havent landed any kills , sure in a gunship or field gunner, but I haven't LANDED kills yet. I stick around too long, and get killed by ack too much. I think I have like .1 something out to like 8 numbers as my KTD ratio. At least I killed you guys in a parachute....

Yes, most other planes can leave the fight, but they usually don't.  I enjoy getting a pilot using B&Z tactics to waste his E on several passes.  They get impatient and slow...I get the kill.  Every once in a while I encounter a B&Z pilot that sticks to his tactics.  When he does, then the fight remains a draw so long as I do not make a mistake.

To be successful in a Zero requires patience, better than average SA, and good snapshot gunnery. 

The fun thing about AH is that there are many ways to fight.  The kills are sweeter to me when my opponent started with an advantage.  Spending my playing time trying to out climb my opponent just isn't fun for me.  :D

I bet that your a better pilot than me, but I could still beat your zeke in fight starting out fair :all I have to do is get some speed and start BnZ'ing you.

 See there you go again.... you have no idea who I am,if I take morphine and or why!

Hey I have a question....

I'm looking to get into the Hogs and my skill set is tailored to BnZ, being faster than 80% of planes, with some turning thrown it. I almost never use climb or anything like manuvering flaps in combat, I have enough to purchace the C-hog, but not the F4U-4 (BTW what is its nickname?), so what I want to know is which hog is best tailored to my skill set. I fly 5k all the way up to 15k if that maters.

I've been fighting in the Zero since 1993 (AirWarrior to Confirmed Kill to Warbirds to Aces High) and I am always willing to learn from my opponents.  Perhaps you could teach me a lesson in the dueling arena sometime. :salute

I have grown quite accustomed to the Ki-84. Probably not a great stick, but no slouch either.  ;)

Spitfire XVI.

I know I am going to get noobed to death but hear me out.

Fast, Very agile, Forgiving, Stable gun platform, INSANE power to weight and climb rate

Plus with an experienced pilot behind the stick (me) she can take 6 enemies on and win (which I have done)

But in a very close second I agree with strokes P38 J.
