Your favorite plane to shoot down???
« on: December 20, 2011, 12:07:48 AM »
In a standard furball, do you chose your target based on plane, alt, proximity to you, what?

For me, I tend to leave the -51s alone since they have E and tend to burn up on reentry, and focus on planes with co-E and proximity, with type of plane being last favorable. But I do find myself behind Spits more than anything. That wing root is too easy to hit. I love watching it snap.  :rock

I love killing ponies, because there's only a few who actually fly it to their (the pony's) potential (I hate fighting them....)

38's, because I hope beyond hope it's someone who knows how to fly it, and I'm constantly trying to learn new tricks in them.

109's, they're hard to hit, and nimble, and like the 38, I'm constantly trying to learn new tricks in them.

LA7, because honestly... who flies those that's been in the game for more than 3 months... *ducks*

I always go straight for the 109s, usually a good stick that won't run and will have a nice dogfight :aok

it's a good rule to follow imo!
Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

:rofl

B-17s and B-24s...

B-17s because they are so damned sturdy!!!!

And B-24s because I like the way a set of them try to be as good as a single B-17, and just end up on fire in 16 different places.

:D

I like shooting down badly flown Mustangs and any and all Brewsters.
I'll HO Brewsters, the rediculous over modelled things they are.

I go after the 109 because they get up way high very easily, and often flown by someone who knows how to handle them.
Also the P38, pretty much for the same reasons. Plus it's a pretty big plane and I love to see how it breaks off its wingtips and tail infront of me if I get lucky enough to hit one.  :P

Then its the F4U, any one of them.. Because they can be distant icons the first time you look, the next they can be blazing guns hanging on full flaps wrapped around your ears if you don't do anything about them..  :lol
