If you wish to know who flies the Jug well, check the various models stats....then click on the model and find out who has the kills and k/d flying them.
Btw....I stall fight the D11 otd....it is a marvel, I also fight it at 20K and above, as I did with Jamusta a few days ago, he in a K4 and me in a D11.
The fight was a huge amount of fun, it came out a draw, no one had pings on him and no one made a mistake. We had loads of fun doing this
until the FHs at the base were taken down. Jamusta and I just <S> one another and said we would do it again.
IMHO a D40 can do the same thing at 20K that an M Jug can do. The N to me accelerates poorly and is a slug climbing without wep below 20K and
that is comparing it with the other Jug Models. I use the Nathan for jabo....the D11 for fighting. It is more critical to measure ones energy flying the N
then the D11 IMHO. Both require monitoring the E state...but the N requires much more attention below 20K.
Again using flaps and throttle is important, but most critical is the time and place in the fight in which you use wep, or deploy flaps.
Remember...since the Jug is a heavy aircraft using them for a prolonged period of time slows you down to a point at which the Energy you need is
no longer there. Learn to cycle flaps, as well as throttle and wep. If you keep the flaps down and the fight goes from horizontal to a tad vertical,
and you need a "tad" nose up to get the shot....you might not have it. And once the Jug pilot reaches that state, no chance of even getting a hint of nose up,
a good pilot in another aircraft will have you on the ropes. He will then dictate the fight to you. Unless you can regain some speed which means
having the room to do so, more then likely the SpitXVI, Yak9U etc. will have you in the tower shortly. However, the Jug flies very very well at dead slow.
this requires a lot of rudder, and I do mean A LOT! Your feet will be going like crazy keeping your wings parallel with the ground. You will actually
get kills for those who are impatient and go for an angle they can't sustain and auger.
Again....these are just thoughts on my experiences....others may differ.
