I have flown them all but the "M" is my ride of choice! I rarely fly anything else in late war any more, for starters, take off a good bit farther out from the fight you want to get into, get your alt, I like to work around 15k but will come into an area at twenty alot simply because I start from a good distance out, I fly it with the full gun pakage, all guns at 350 to 400, 600 If I know i am going to be hunting bombers only,,3/4 bag and a drop, never use your wep on the way to the fight, and use it sparingly till you start lost your edge, I will hit wep as soon as I fire in order to get into my next position then back off with it! she will turn harder than most anything out there fast and rolling fights are a blast! as soon as you get slow and out of position its time for the wep and an exit strategy until you feel more confident in your ability to fight the big bird! hard deck is very important, 5k is a good choice until they come in on you from 15k, I like 7500 instead but will fight at any alt as long as I think I am safe from other high cons!
all that said, untill you can make it dance in circles while falling out of the sky, just inside of a spixteen till you kill him or he augers,, BNZ it!!! that is what it does best!
Remember speed is life!
lately I have been taking it up from capped bases just to feel how she will work in bad situations, and i get shot down a lot but it is just a game and I want to fly the "M" all the time, one of these days someone will accuse you of cheating while you fly it,, then you will know you are starting to learn it well!
