Fly the 109 g-6. Great perk farmer. Get into the top50 in it, without dweebing or vulching and you will be fine. Not as easy, belive me  ;)

What I'm going to find funny is how much  :ahand ing your going to be doing in whatever gets picked.  :D.  I might eve drag my sorry rear end in just to watch  :devil *gets off ankle

Arent you the one that suggested the 109f?
You might want to ask around about my history in that thing first if thats what your looking for me to be doing.

And no. I'll live with whichever one is chosen.

I dont know why you find spits beneath you....they are great planes, beautiful lines, very good all around plane....I just dont understand why so many think there are such things as "dweeb planes" 

Because they are.
And I gave up arcade games years ago

Do a month of "Hanger Queens".  You know, those planes that "suck" in the MA that you never see?

Either P-39.
I-16
I'd say Spit XIV but you said no spits.

Or

A month of "Elite planes that should be perked"

Brewster
Bf109K
Spit XVI (I know....)
P-51D

Why not fly something "beneath you" just as an experiment?


wrongway
i wouldnt rly call the p39 a "hanger queen"
the D model maybe, but i fly and have encountered alot of Q models in the LW.

I would say the C.202, as aside from 190A-4/5's I think that the 202 is the prettiest + coolest looking plane in the game, and has some cool skin choices for it

I suggest the 190-a5. although I fly the 109k4, I'd have to say that flying the 190 improved my flying. Why? It changes the way you think about angles, It bleeds E, it doesn't turn well, but it rolls and climbs well.

It forces you to think more about displacement rolls and other moves in ways that flying a spit or 109f4/g2 will never force you to do. It can be frustrating at times as you will overshoot most planes in the beginning, once you get it, its fun... and challenging.

When I'm talking about fighting in a 190, I'm talking about actually turn fighting, not bnzing.
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

Amen man, I am proud to say that most of my kills in the A-5 are not by BnZ

The 110c .
A man's plane.

Can dive up to 500mph without losing stuff, and have the speed of an aircraft carrier :lol

  I'll recommend you fly the Mossie MkVI. IMHO it's a very underutilized plane in the arena and
it would give you a bit of distinction, and who doesn't like deh stink?
  It's got very nice speed, a tremendous amount of cannon and MGs and does a pretty decent
snap roll if you're latched onto a hard turning enemy.
  A couple of tips (take 'em for what they're worth as I'm a mediocre stick at best.)
Never take off with more than 50 percent fuel. If you need more range, just
use DTs. (50 will give you about 30 mins duration.)
  Burn off the outer (LO and RO) tanks first; it'll roll a lot better.
  Fire off all except about 900 of the .303s, if not all. It'll save you about 300 pounds
of weight in the nose. (Your hit percentage score suffers, but who cares?)
  Adjust the forward view so you can see over the nose, you'll lose sight of your
gunsight, but you can, prior to adjusting the view, place the tip of your mouse
on the center of the gunsight and press "H" to lock it in place. This will then
become your "new" gunsight.
  Never fly it past 440 IAS; you'll start rippin' parts off the wings.

Regards, Odd

Naahhhh research is sooo boring but I believe you may have taken my reply wrong.  I know you're pretty dang good so, no matter what platform you're eventually in, a lot of 'uber sticks' out there are going to be doing a lot of 'wtfing' which I find quite amusing.

Oh and I changed my vote to the 202 :D

Isnt for me to pick. Its for you all to pick
well I'm sorry for my wording

I am picking the P40's or the C202...... for you to fly next tour.....

has anyone done a vote count yet? and be sure not to double or triple count those of us who have posted more than once
