Yes he does fly that Jug alright.

Thanks Recon. I need to do some "self-study" I think before go back and get more help. I want to digest all that, and try to use it, then see where I'm falling down.

BTW, I used the funky thing today, did it right twice (1 kill), did wrong once (got killed).

I tried following reverend in the vertical twice today, got out-turned both times... bastige drops his gear in that f4u-4 to pull tighter. Definitely not going to be able to follow a good F4U driver in the vertical, need to come up with another strategy there.

Also got into 2 fights with Hub in his P47D in the DA, but we got interrupted both times. Anyway, having fun, taking small steps...

<S>

Not much to do VS F4Us, I find these birds are the most fearsome ennemy of the Jug. Luckily, they didn't fight each other during WWII because the Hog can out turn, out E, out accelerate and out stall the Jug quite easily for equal and advanced sticks.

99% of the time if I'm on you'll find me in a D11.  Just plane fighting....and listening to others say "That Jug dint do that did he?"

I'm lucky to get in 10 hours a month.  Other things ta do during the spring and summer ;)  Ink knows what  :D

Holy cow lepape. I just watched those 2 youtube videos in your signature for the first time. Those are amazingly well put together. The flying is unreal too, of course. That's what I love about this game... so much to learn!

Equal pilots ANY corsair is 4 times ANY JUG is, hands down. There really is no comparison.

In other words:

 Me in a corsair PWNS me in a JUG

 Lepape is a corsair PWNS lepape in a JUG

It really is that simple. This is a perfect example of how the plane "matters"

I know most like to say "plane doesn't matter it is the pilot" but I say BUNK to that! The plane choice can be an overwhelming advantage

IMHO
