When I flew the 110 every day for a while in Mid war I learned that "Trick" turn. It takes a lot of practice & will put you in a stall very easily. Guys would cry about "There's No way the real 110 could out fly a fighter in WWII", but then again, if you take a somewhat experienced stick in a 110 against a somewhat newby in a Spit, the 110 can win most of the time, even though the spit is user friendly and turns fairly tight at the average dog fighting E's. I love the 110, but get bored and have to learn a new one once in a while, probably before I'm anywhere near an ace....  :aok We had a guy in Mid war that flew an A20 like that. Really cool to watch.  :salute

That's not very nice Ack-Ack....lol...not very nice at all...and quite probably not necessarily true either.

Changeup

It might not have been nice of Ack-Ack but with all things being equal, he's usually dead on in his statements of fact.  Your mileage may vary but I'll stick with his solution every time.

All the Best...

hey W7.first off i just read your other post and welcome to aces high. there are plenty of people out there that are more than willing to lend a hand to new players. there is also the official trainer corps here as well. stumble into the training arena from time to time and you will see some trainers for sure.

(please dont take what im about to say personally trainers) but i definately reccomend ghosth or morfiend for a newer player anxious to get their feet wet. i believe you would be hard pressed to find anyone as kind and generous than them.

you mentioned in your other thread about a guy that flies an A20 with great success, i believe you have met cobia. :) amazing stick and a class act as well. last but certainly not least is humble. he flies the A20 With a great deal of success, but take my word for it he is equally deadly in any plane. :)

If you get a chance look him up when you are online see if he is availible for some winging. the guy is a virtual treasure chest of ACM and the few times ive had the pleasure of flying with him and his squad i had a blast and learned a good deal as well.

I really hope you look those guys up sometime soon, as im sure you will have a blast with them as well. All that being said, welcome to aces high..your newest addiction. :)

regards,
kjetil

If you lost in a Spitfire Mk IX to a Bf 110G then that means you didn't fly it very well.  Honestly, the Spitfire dominates the Bf 110 in all aspects and like the guy in the Zeke, screwed the pooch that let the Bf 110 kill you.

ack-ack

To be noted.  It's the C model Krupnski flies and not the G model.  Not really sure if this affects the fight much.  I wholeheartedly agree with you guys on the hypothetical winner with all things being equal.

I thought it wasn't about the plane but it was the pilot.
I think they have backed up this...if the  pilot of the zeke knew how to fly it, he wouldn't have lost to a 110.  I know Krup is on top of his game and all, but a zeke...should whip a 110 everytime. :aok

What makes this especially telling is that Dr. Bone has no hands and is only able to fly with his feet on a specially modified joystick. His computer is an Atari 1000 with a monochrome monitor that has a bad tube. He can only see out of his left eye since that industrial knitting accident and he is considering changing his call sign to "Lucky".
