When I'm in a g14, the corsairs, they are better than I am fast and slow, if I miss the opportunity for a shot in between its sad for shamus. If in a ki84 they are only better fast, works out better most times.

I fly yak9u/la-7s - k4s are tough.  its that whippy torque thing they do, I always end up right in teh path of the 30 mm coming down on me and I hate that sinking feeling I get as hear the 12mms pecking pecking 30mm boom! - - tower.

 In a world where all pilots are equal i fear the la7, yak9u, 109k, spits (9)(8)(16)(14), ki84, p47m, and p38j.

In the real world I fear P39q, P40, 109e, p47d11, P38g, and Ki61s: Thinking that only the wiliest of bastards would even dare in one of these.

I'm also gun shy with certain rides because of specific individuals associated with them. I fear the p38j because AKAK or Delirium might be in one, any 262 when grizz is online, and for some reason Tongs gets me every time in his ki61 regardless of any advantage that I have.  When I see one of these I look first at the roster to see who is in the MA before committing to the fight. Only in the absence of certain individuals do I engage certain plains.  :uhoh :bolt:

My bird is the Zero. Hate the P-51's. Not because they shoot me down but because they simply don't fight. They dive on me like a pesky gnat, miss, then run back to their 12K perch. Kind of sad really...

When I fly the zeke, I always have a problem with F4U's.
When I fly the 109 or 190, it is always those dang Brewsters or another 109/190

When I GV, everything kills me, no one thing.  :lol

I highly recommend fighting them rather than running away. Even if you know you're going to lose the fight, don't turn away. The valuable thing, here, is that you learn from those fights. Running away from a fight doesn't teach you anything. If you ever wondered how they got that good, it is because they don't back down from a fight.

What is my nemesis? I don't really have one. The only exception is those who run from a fight. I don't mind the pickers, ho'ers, gangers, etc... no matter what plane they're in. I die all the time, so I would rather get shot down and re-up than to have to fly all the way back to base to land. And I usually end up ditching or augering most of the time instead. Saves me time that way. :)

Anything that hits hard. One mistake and it's over...Yak, 109's w/ 30mm tater, Jugs w/ 8 X MG, Hurri IIc & Tiffie/Typhoon, etc. Against lighter armed planes you can still recover if you give up a fleeting snap shot and win, against the heavy hitters you're in the tower.
