"LW pilots Nazi's (he does)."

Buzzt! Wrong answer:eek:

There's a couple of 109 and 190 flyiers in my Squad. They're great guys who fly well.

I regularly wing with guys such as Wilbuz and Drano every chance I get - great guys, great flyers, great attitudes. Same goes for Hblair when his panties are unbunched. I believe Kieran is another who exemplifies the difference between a sane and balanced fun guy with a definate machine preference; and some one who clicks his heels in a pavlovian response to blue text in the buffer.

Similarly the Finnish guys fly the 109 for much the same reasons as I fly the Spit, and without raining down contempt for all other flyers (just who do you fools think you'll be flying against once you've hounded every non-LW flier out of the game?) and flying styles.

You'll also note I fly the 190 from time to time my self.

Plane choice in a game matters not. Totalitarian sneering attitudes do.

Having said that, I freely admit I completly misconstrued the "state railway" thing; my bad.

Now quit your whining, the drool's disconcerting. Go play with your stats, there's a good jugend.

"Fast Food Killers" is not meant be me to be offensive. But if you read any of my replies in the "buff" threads you will see where I absolutely defend the furballers. I furball myself.

I also clarified my statement with "there are always exceptions" meaning there are spit pilots who love the planset in as much as there are g10 fast food killers.

There is nothing wrong with flying what you want how you want but then again theres nothing wrong saying fast food killer or sissyfire or run09.


Seeker

Stats?  

I think I have like 10 hours in game this tour and I suk anyway. Stats only matter to me in events like big week.......:)

Anyway Karnak I read your posts on ac and what we "need" for the main and I agree with most of your opinions but I would wager by far the folks who fly lw ac the majority aren't lwhiners or elitists or hate spitfires...........

Anyway I hijacked the crap out of this thread...........

back on topic

jack would be good...........

Now here I thought I was a fan of VVS aircraft, but now I see that I'm just a "fast food" pilot.  

I was a big proponent of the Yak-9U, the Yak-9UT (we got the -9T instead), and the La7 on this BBS, long before they were released into AH, and before anyone hardly flew any of these planes.  But now I learn that was not the case, and that I'm just a dweeb

The shame the shame.

*sarcasm off*

You hypocrite. :mad:

After having been a user of the BBS for some time, I finally bought a computer able to run the software. So, after just 5 sorties, I've flown 5 different aircraft, including the P-38, P-51,
P-47D-30, LA-7 and Yak-9U. I guess that makes me a "buffet pilot".  ;)

My regards,

I would love to see the Raiden added to the planeset. Having said that, I would prefer the Ki-44-II (More shameless cheerleading). :)

He does even fly spits and why is it relevant how he "feels" or you "feel" about things? This is just a game and if your ego is so fragile that "shitfire" or "sissyfire" or "runstange" or "la dweeb" or "niki dweeb" or "run90" upsets you so then your probrably gettin a little to involved.

However "nazi" is pretty offensive because it has real meaning out side the game. I bet most lw guys hear that quite a bit.

But see thats beside the point. When I hear comments like that I dont run to the bbs with a self-rightous attitude then turn around and do the very thing you accuse the "lw" of doing.

I dont care what plane you fly or how you fly it or how you even feel about it.

I just thought a little light shined on your hypocracy would be good.


LOL Wotan I havent bithced in awhile maybe it is time to stir the pot up again?  And I am having PC probs so no flying for a day or so go gifure.  :)  I am not a LW whiner but a sympathizer :)

Ki-84 was built in larger numbers than both of those.  
I vote for the Frank first :)

Anyone have a photo of the Ki-44? Performance specs? I am not as up-to-speed on most of the later Japanese planes as I should be.

See you up In feb or March :(...

Hi Silo,

>Ki-44 is a 1941-42 intercepter released concurrently with the Ki-43!

Thanks for the data! I haven't found much on the Ki-44, but it's a fascinating fighter for sure :-)

Do you have any information on the source of the performance data? Since it's metric, I'd suppose it's Japanese?

Regards,

Henning
