Pick my plane!(from the list!)
« on: October 11, 2009, 06:57:49 PM »
Hey all :)

So, I've been wanting to learn a new ride now for a long time. After flying the jug as my main ride for years, it's time for a change. The problem is I feel awkward flying anything else, end up just flying my jugs for the most part, get bored and go inactive for months. It's not the gameplay at all, it's just the comfort level I have in a jug. Well, I really don't want this pattern to continue, so I'm going to try to get some peer pressure from you folks to help me stick with a new plane for the next 2 tours. So, with that being said, and for those who care, help me out! My list to pick from is this, I'm trying to stay away from the US planeset for a bit:

109-K4 or G14
spit9
spit16
p38 series
yak-9u
KI84
Niki

Hopfully I'll get a decent response that stays on topic, if you want to help me out just toss in your vote and why etc. Will let the thread run a day or so unless it gets bumped back a few pages. Help me break the cycle! Constructive input is alway appreciated!

I started using the Yak because I read some where that it'll improve my gunnery.  I still suck but...  My gunnery has improved.

Lol :) gonna let the thread run it's course, though I've really been eyein up the 38 pretty hard. Once people stop voting, if I get any other replies that is, I'll stick with the plane with most votes. Thanks for the reply bud, was hoping that I'd at least get one! :)

38 up by 2 so far! I love that we have such a nice community here that entertains more lighthearted things like this. Y'all ate great!

What is with all of these 38 people. :P

Go with the G14, learn somthing new. Fun plane to fly have to learn how to conserve though, unlike the Jug, it's not big in the ammo poriton, but it does pack a punch with the 30mm and Gondies.
Take it out and fly it at some bombers, that will make you appreciate it alot.

Some planes that i enjoy.....
1. spit 8, 2 cans and  1 droptank, base defense, and possibly bomber killer
2.  p51D (attack mode) 4 cans, full bomb loadout, and rockets..  Go to a small airfield and pork it your self, Without getting touched. (key), altitiude 10k + upon entry. after loadout  gone, turn yourself into a fighter, your leggs and alt should be there as your enemies claw for your alt......... ( make your bomb and rocket passes with lots of E..)
3. Eny problems? try the ki61, with 50percent gas and the wing mounted drops,  definately a great plane with nice gun platform..  
You should pay me for this info...  :old:
