Most of all, have fun!  And to please Crom.

Lately my buddy and I have been taking up a TBM/F6F team from CVs to go after shore batteries.  Since the guy in the TBM doesn't last long, even with the escort, we'll take turns on the roles.

In a more general setting, any fight that last longer than two minutes indicates to me that I'm fighting someone of equal skill level (or he's missing some control surfaces, anyway).  The longer the 1 on 1 fight, the more satisfying the engagement, regardless of the winner.

I'll fly best suited for each situation. I tend to pick alot in the MAs, but it's pick or be picked. I do whine, but I'm not a hypocrite either, meaning I won't whine about somthing, and then turn around and do that same thing I don't want to be done to me. So usualy when I whine, I tend to do it to try and drive the skill out of people that don't want to use it.

I never pick not because I am too cool or I am too good.

I actually suck at BnZ and I cant seem to aim in such quick succession.

Its much more fun to stay and fight anyway.

I'm a furballing luftweenie.

Love the 190s and 109s, and I fly them very aggressive and to the death. Very rarely would you see me run from a fight, I'll take a spit 16 on in a Dora even if it means my death. I try not to BnZ because I hate when its done to me, and I do complain about it. No need for the kettle to call the pot black or what ever it is.

I will take one pass to burn off extra E, then on the next one I will try my best to latch on to your 6 until one of us are hitting dirt.



Well thats just about down right idiotic.

Regardless, I fly for realism, prefer to use a wingman, my ultimate goal each sortie is to RTB in one piece, and would rather get home with one assist and land it than 4 kills and die. I try and avoid picking out of furballs, but will gladly pick a low and slow if his SA is horrible. I also never "climb" to a fight, I dive into a fight, as does anyone with any expectation to live.  I will take on dissamler airframes, and use my airframes strengths against it, and if my aircraft does not match up, and the chance to flee presents itself, I will.

I fly B n Z as well because it is more challenging than Turn and Burn IMHO. Putting your airframe in the right place at the right time to get a snapshot and having the patience to wait for an oppurtunity, to set it up, to execute it, and do so successfully is far more rewarding than flying in circles in a furball and trying to get the guy who is to busy to notice you, because he is getting the guy in front of him, meanwhile someone is creeping on you....

I do however respect a good fight with a spit16 or 51, but only when we both fly to our airframes strengths.  To turn a D9 or A8 .. well thats just stupid and you might as well be throwing quarters into an arcade machine or flying on XBOX as far as I am concerned. And I do agree there are plenty of respectable Turn and Burn fights happening out there 2 V 2 or 2 V 1, but furballing is to arcade for me in generally.  I prefer fighter sweeps with 6 V 6 or smaller engagements.

Nice, not a lot of P-47's in fights unless that changed with the P-47M.

You must not fly any of the MAs. Nothing close to realism in there.
