What's the first plane you go for?

[dedalos]

Be fare 190'S have less options than la7's and LA and Nikki are the big hoers in my experience.

I agree that 190s have less options.  But getting into one knowing what the options are is what makes me wonder

when I fly into a fight, I try to take the same plane I am in out first, it gives less of a chance that someone can use my streights against me

[xNOVAx]

I target a6m's hurricanes spixteens and la7s for reasons you all know..

[jdbecks]

p51 and La7 to die first

[RTHolmes]

The one that's the biggest threat.

Whichever planes presents the biggest threat

Always take on the biggest threat first

I prefer to neutralize the biggest threat first.

Anything I cant catch, when joining a furball you usually have height, I drop on the fastest aircraft there and kill him so he cannot run away. Then pick off the turners.

[mechanic]

whoever has the most powerfull gun package/whoever is the biggest threat.

[1pLUs44]

Depending on what I'm flying and the approach I take, the 1st one that gives it's six to me is the first one that is   

[STXAce8]

Anything that red about co-alt.

All things being equal, the fastest ones, because they will hunt me down like a dog after the D11 is leaking oil and I'm pw'd (That, and I !@#!@#ing HATE K4's and Lgays )

[Shamus]

If I am in a fast plane I go after fast planes, if in a turnny plane, other turnny planes, a g2 or g14 I go after anything.

every one seems to like jumping on my hurricane MkIa in the Ma , even if  there are bigger threats to them around.   I tend to go for anything that i can get 200Yrds or  closer to.   Saying that i Love to dive from 20K onto P51/ P47 that are lower than me , just to see the squeaking on 200  with the WTF thats BS   comments.

Isn't it odd how when you manage to fly your plane "against type", i.e. doing something the plane isn't noted for, like turnfighting in a 190 or bnz with a hurri; people will call BS?  Rather than accepting the fact that a) you're better than they are and b) sometimes the plane will surprise you?

Nowadays when someone does that to me, I'm more like..."hmm, interesting...i wonder how they managed that?", and sometimes I will page an inquiry to them, so I can a) use the maneuver myself and b) plan for it next time.

Live and learn, (or die and learn)
