well i knew that it was inevitable that one of the gods of this game must chime in. well Ack have you flown it yet?

if you have have you turn fought with it?

would you mind telling me exactly what in this game can out turn it?

so my point is simple, if you don't allow yourself to become easy fodder for a picker (heavy dose of SA) in a late war ride then how exactly do you plan on defeating the Brewster in your late war ride?

if you don't speed in and boom it then i don't care what your flying you wont out turn fight even a medium skilled pilot in it.

the biggest defence the Brew has against pickers and the "boom and zoom" style attack is its ability to spin itself on its tail and face you as you boom in. now you are looking at either evading, ramming or getting Ho'd. i think you will find that booming this crate will in short time prove to be much more difficult than you think.

contrary to most rides in the game the closer this crate stays to the ground the safer it is. those who boom it will have to come it at a more vertical dive to try to avoid the HO as the Brew's nose up maneuvering is not as fast as its flat turn ability, but this leads to the inevitable auger as those who dive in try to stay at max speed as they make their pass and either eating dirty from compression or blacking out and eating dirt, all to avoid the shot in the arse they may get when/if they overshoot. i can see landing multiple proxy kills a flight due to this.

do not mistake what i am saying here, it is not the be all end all of cartoon airpower tech, but it has its place in the line up, and with a little bit of practice then even a novice can give you a game of trying to kill him instead of just laying down and dying just because you have flown into his presence.

i think you may start to see these appear as a newbie ride, in place of some of the LA7's or Spitt 9's or 16's we normally see.

i don't see this as a bad thing.

fly the plane a bit Ack, i think you will find some fun in it.

I have flown the Brewster quite a bit as well as fought against it.  As I stated, given equal pilots the Brewster is going to lose because the other pilot isn't going to turn fight with it. 

If you like, we can play around in the DA and you can see for yourself.

You trolling or serious?

Given there aren't enough aircraft to even be able to say 99% without having the remaining 1% be a fraction of an aircraft, you're comment is absurd.

Second, provide evidence of your claim.
