The dweeb from dweebistan

[Shuffler]

 I am curious Grizz, in your opinion, what is the hardest plane to be successful at?  

IMHO one without wings.

109F4 and 109E4 are tough to get kills in
Any 38
F4U1s
D3As

All are tough to get kills in.

To chime in on Ack Ack, I have seen him complain about hordes, tactics, techniques and procedures but never the ride.  In a 1 v 1 all things equal, I believe if he was beat by a guy in a spixteen, he would <S> and drive on. This is not an ankle hump this is an observation.

all planes have there own advantages and disadvantages, the idea is to play the game for the plane you are in and not your opponents. Somebody who ends up playing into the opponents game will likely lose.  190D should not try to turn with a a6m, if he does attempt he will likely lose.

I think what makes somebody a "dweeb" is how much of an advantage they must have to actually engage. Somebody who flies a spit16 or p-51 is not a dweeb, but someone who fly's a plane and won't engage an enemy in the same plane without alt advantage or numbers is.

hardest plane to be successful in is anything so slow that the only way to escape alive is to engage every single plane that chooses to engage u. not because it is at a fighting disadvantage but the more time u spend fighting the more open u are to get ganged and picked.

The hardest plane to be succesful in hmm.. that's a good question id have to say and early war fighter.

i agree it is the pilot, but i also agree that the skill of the pilot can be compensated with the ease which some planes fly. he will gain advantages in some planes that he doesnt actually have to have the skill to obtain normally. or even worse if he is a very skilled pilot flying a plane that is saturated with advantages then he and the plane are beyond term "easy mode". for eaxample just today i watched a film of Grizz in a 262 get 20 killz while surrounded by red guys. he was only killed when he clipped wings with another plane and even with one wing missing he still shot another plane down before eating earth.

for some pilots some planes are easy mode.

another example would be you in your 38. you have flown it so much the plane is easy mode for you. take the Hurri I into the LWA and start landing multiple kills in it. i bet you wont land as many as you do in the 38.

it is both the plane and the pilot in combination that make it easy mode.

I don't think flying smart is being a dweeb per say.  There are some, who I don't get, who fly for stats, that is their perogative.  So, being smart in picking your fights, hooah.  Me, I am a bit of the opposite, I just like a clean fight.

I get a lot of crap for flying the 152 but I think it is more my flying style. Same with 51 pilots the plane helps them with their dweeby style.

Planes I think are tough to get kills and land would be the 110-c and A-20 people see these and dog pile them.

[cactuskooler]

Since when is a K4 a dweeb plane? If you're a lousy pilot you'll still be lousy. If you're a killer pilot you'll be able to destroy everything in your path. Anyways there's nothing my 38 likes to kill more, except maybe Brewsters.

Although I'm not sure why anyone would want to fly a K4 when you could fly a Ta 152. Way sexier.

i get what u are saying, but there is thin line between flying smart and being timid.  

smart guy-if being chased by a plane of similar performance will not turn back until the plane chasing him is a great distance away or until the plane chasing breaks off.

timid guy- in the same situation would not even dream of turning back until he runs across fellow country members, and still may not even turn back, until the fellow country member is fighting with the original plane chasing him. some may call this "smart" too because he leaves little chance to be taken. IMO this is dweebish.

or or smart and timid guy can take the latter and gain some skills from engaging with a disadvantage, and learn how to reverse the guy chasing him by bleeding E and using throttle work.

I guess what it comes down to is a dweeb is somebody who has an abnormal fear for their cartoon life, and would rather kill time running endlessly than to engage in video game combat.

You can set the tone of the dweeb ride that you choose by the situation to make it easier to live with yourself and not feel dirty.

When I decide to up to engage at a capped or semi-capped feild I have no problems upping a Spixteen, LA or Nik and spraying vulchers in the face with them.

When I wanna BnZ, then its def the Tyhpie.

When I want to look for a nice clean fight, C205 or K4 only for the option to catch runners.
 
D9s in my oppinion are much further up the list as dweeb rides rather than the K4.

Love ol' Kurts bird, but there is just something primal about the K4.  Ta-152 is just so nice and balanced.  Has all of the aerodynamic refinements lacking in the K4.  The 152 is a sabre.  The K4 is a dull axe. 

[Ack-Ack]

Yup...don't hold your breath.  But let me put this spin on it... what about some of the best sticks, sticking to spiteens etc....

So what if a veteran experienced player likes to fly Spitfires?  It is no different than the player that likes to fly Corsairs, Bf 109K-4s, etc.  This whole idea that once you reach a certain level of skill you shouldn't fly Spitfires or any of the easier to fly planes is utter nonsense.  Fly whatever plane you want is my motto.

I think the most fun in this game is to find the most impossible plane to fly successfully and try to get good at it.  Sticking to the easy planes just seems cheap, but I guess that is some other persons center.

I think the most fun in this game is enjoying whatever plane you choose to fly regardless of what anyone thinks.  I get a lot of grief for sticking for one plane, most refer to it as being cheap and that I should fly other planes but you know what?  I don't enjoy flying any other fighter as much as I do the P-38, even after all of these years.  Why should it be any different for someone that enjoys flying Spitfires, La 7s, P-51Ds, etc.?  If you think you have to challenge yourself by flying as many different planes as you can, then go for it and have a fun time doing it but don't start sticking your nose in the air and act like some elitist just because someone is flying a plane you think doesn't take any skill compared to the plane you choose to fly.

ack-ack
