For all of you who say...

For all of you who say they are going to be blasting storchs out of the sky when the new edition come out. I have been fooling around in the beta testing program in Fighters like the P-51, F6F, La-7, A6M, I-16 ect and I have been flying against storchs and unless they are fly straight and level they are very hard to hit  . they have an extremely tight turning radius (especially with the flaps down) and most of the time I just cannot fly slow enough or turn fast enough to get a shot in on one.

Just things to consider. 

OK.

Dog fighting in Storchs: Wait wait get on his low 12 o clock!

I've been flying the storch many times and I'm getting killed not by planes, but by panzers and tigers and m4's by their little pintle guns on top of the turret!

Now that we have them.  I was right, they ARE a super easy kill

I spawned a storch from a 30k spawn in the training arena (over and enemy field) just for kicks and settled down into the 300fpm descent that would allow it to keep flying and suddenly a f4u spawned right next to me.

In about 22 passes, he never got a proper firing solution and he finally hit the ground when the fight got that low.

He was not a noob.

Brilliant! A useful usage for the pintles. Yay!

I took my first flight in the Storch lastnight, found the slowness of the aircraft to be similar to the effect the Fairly Swordfish had on AA gunners.

It's so slow compared to what people are used to shooting at, they over compensate, especially if you're jinxing back and forth.
I'm sure the skills of the gunner had more to do with it, but I had quite the time dodging AA and dropping smoke markers.
