My first sortie in aces high landed 2 kills in a N1K2J.

I haven't flown it since but I love to kill them.

K4 / 262

I also have a personal vendetta against the radiator on the dora.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

P-51Ds because they are by far the most common fighter in the MA, yet the plane whiners persistently give it a free pass.  Also it is worth gobs of perks when you're in a Mossie.

And people complain about the spit having training wheels...the 51D has training wheels AND afterburners

This is why you up a plane over 20 eny and shoot them down - it gives twice the enjoyment of watching ones wing come off.

Yes...The little ole Spit IX....it can't run, it can't hide, it can't out E ya, so when it's in a fight it's completely committed....win or die.

Nah, I don't blame ack, I don't think the ack knows any better and I don't expect HTC to teach the ack not to HO.

I love killing mustangs because I am usually in one and I hate to see it improperly flown. I also hate F4Us (in this game) because they can hover like UFOs and they are the best gun platform in the game. They can hang their nose straight up with almost no E. It is one of the most uber planes in the entire game yet the people who fly them are never ridiculed for doing so. People rag on me for flying the mustang, but when I get in a F4 i feel like im cheating. This is why its stupid to question someones plane choice....Question the way they fly, not what they fly.

In fairness to the P-51D, it kinda sucks as an actual fighter.  I think it is popular primarily for the fact that it is THE P-51D Mustang that "Won the War!™", the fact that it can carry two 1000lb bombs and six 5" rockets while being fairly fast and that it is a decent fighter with smooth handling, nice endurance and good cockpit views.

I did not say it had training wheels but I think it is an easier plane to fly and fight in. I like the B better. Probably 98% of folks who fly it have no idea what a good turner it is.

In fairness the Trees have a Vendetta against Corky and Soulyss - they lose to many branches to those dreaded B-38s.
