The first merge (unless I know who it is first) I treat the enemy by what they are flying. After the first merge I can get a sense of how they are gonna fly it then I go from there. So, both.

Both. First I defeat the plane, then I defeat the chute.

BnZ is about to beat the plane. TnB is about to beat both the plane and the pilot. I prefer the TnB.

the plane tells me what the percived limitations, strengths and weakness of the plane - but thats a sliding scale depending on who is on the other side.  So its both, first its the plane, after the merge its the pilot.

Thanks for the responses all.  Always good to see I've got something right in my head now and again.

I especially agree with Soulyss's comment. :)

Ground owns all, :salute terra firma  (of all the times we fought, not once have I come close to beating you).
