FSO tonight so I wont be in till tomorrow....
Anybody got tips on the 202? I'm going to have to go offline and figure out the handling..
Ah, the 202! A gentleman's rapier, not a peasant's pitchfork. Take all the guns you can load, including the 7.7s in the wings. Set the convergence for 200 yards or less. The two 12.7s in the nose fire a weird bullet with a mouse-sized explosive charge; it doesn't work well at any kind of range and the rate of fire of the guns is very slow (don't confuse them with Ma Deuce). Practice aiming at the enemy's cockpit and forget about snapshots. You have to get on his/her six and stay there while you put his/her plane over gross weight.
Ignore all the business about draining the wing tanks first. It really doesn't matter.
What is the Allied plane set? You can probably out-climb them all. The P-38G is your biggest worry (other than Hurri IIC hizookaweasels), also the Spit 5. You can outclimb both and out turn the 38. It's a very close fight though, be werry werry careful.
