Nemisis, it takes some time to get used to that P39D, but whern you learn to fly it, it can be an AMAZING killer.

I landed 3 kills in it twice yesterday and they were from legit dogfight kills. You should definently take some sorties in it. (Perks ain't bad either 20 perks once)

I know, the problem is catching others. While I'm a very patient GV'er, I'm less patient in the air (I guess because SA is easier in the air. GV's can hide behind burms, hedges, etc. You have to look for shell craters, as they mark kill zones, and you're always trying to out smart an enemy who might not be there. Every time I come to a burm, I go OVER it, since most go around.), which means I'm less successful than I might be. However, I'm getting a pair of flight pedals, and once I get those, there is a squadie who's gona teach me to fly the Spit VIII.

I'd love to fly the Hog well, but I seem to be meat on the table. Sure, if I have height and E I can BnZ, but Can't turn fight like some of the guys I go up against.

Get help from a trainer in the TA. I know a few of them who fly the hog really well. Most of them, but that's not the point  :D

Use flaps and stay at around 250-350 mph. Basically.
