What's the first plane you go for?

[jolly22]

In a furball.........I normally go for the P38s because they are big/slow/ and easy to killl 

[Bruv119]

A6M's,  Brewsters and Hurricanes.   

If I'm in a Spit that is. 

[Slash27]

The one not looking.

[infowars]

The guy on the outskirts of the fight so I can keep the horde to one side of me...

[DaCoon]

The guy on my squaddies 6....   

[klingan]

The guy on my squaddies 12.... 

[Krusty]

The one that's the biggest threat. Assuming 3 planes all about the same distance, spread out around me, all around the same potential to turn on me any second, I'll pick on a spit16 before the P-51 and 109E-4.

Because if I don't take that spit16 out and I give him a single inch anywhere, he'll kill me or make it so that I get in a position (from trying to evade him) that all 3 cons are now killing me.

Barring any immediate threats, the closest available target that doesn't have 4+ already chasing him.

Ditto.  I don't like any competition for my Mark VIII!

So you're the one who keeps shooting me down!

Floatsup introduced me to the P47-M in a recent fighter mission and have been flying it ever since. Get it to 20K and make sure to retain E at all times. It seems to have endless ammo and fuel. It's a great bomber killer and boom and zoomer.

[JOACH1M]

I'll the guy thats BnZ the furball first then, I'm going to to kill every goon before any other plane

[jolly22]

So you're the one who keeps shooting me down!   

 

[gpwurzel]

Whichever planes presents the biggest threat - then anything stupid enough to go across my gunsites (generally happens right before someone else shoots me down  )

Good call. Always take on the biggest threat first. Usually the others you can evade.
Barring any real immediate threat. Targets of opportunity. Unless someones in serious trouble I try not to fixate too much on one target (unless Im after someone specific) and will often abandon one target if another makes itself more available to my guns.
One of the biggest mistakes I see both Vets and newbs alike make is becoming too fixated on one plane.

Anything that can turn.  He is more likely to engage into a fight.  Any P51s or 190s in the area will just make high speed passes and generally are not a big threat if you can take the turning guy out fast.
