Personal Vendetta - Specific Planes

[Tank-Ace]

Slapped up the side of the head with a reality check.  Yeah, yeah, I know, he was talking about the game he does not play, not Real Life.


Come back and play Tank-Ace.

Trying, but its really kind of hit me that I have less than 11 months before I'm an adult, and a bit under a year before I really need to get my arse in gear for college. I've actually opted not to play lately so I can put the money towards a new car (engine in my old one blew up, and the lack is making both a part time job and school rather ackward to balance).

Nikis, Spits, Ponys, L-Gays, and Zekes.

So your busy preparing for adult life by spamming the message board of a video game you haven't played for months in order to save for a car?

Hardly spamming. I admit I taunt TopGun, but thats a whole seperate thing.

A lot of interesting comments. My thought about this wasn't about nearest threat but planes I see that I want to kill for various reasons, IE they owned me.
The plane didn't but the player and their better skills and/or my bad judgement. Since the plane was the tool I want that tool dead. Guess it's like the Yankees. Hate them since I was a little kid.

I wasn't speaking of furballs - truly hate them.Turns in to 3 people following the same con, 4 more chasing those 3 and the in mean time there are dozen planes looking for targets or have one stuck on their 6. Why people turn into another plane that already has 2 or 3 or people on it boggles my mind when there are plenty around.  I know someone will rationalize it with 'he's the threat' and 'I don't have alt'. Well one plane is not a threat. 4 people don't need to tackle a threat. Then get alt if you don't.

I didn't bring up La7s because they are not worth mentioning. 50% are hotards. 25% are BnZ people that will run run run and they other 25% are the brand new players who want a fast plane and will end up auguring into something.

Fun conversation. I just wanted to know if other people also have personal vendettas against a specific plane for whatever reason.

I hate the ones with red icons.

[guncrasher]

I hate anybody in any plane that goes after silat.  I hunt them down till I kill them or die in the process.  nobody touches my princess.

well since i fly the D40---

51D : good perks for the kill, to many people fly them and think they are invicible (damn history channel)

easyfire16 : easy kills, to many flown

 

[Ardy123]

I hate, loath, and despise 109K4s with every fiber of my existance.

Why? most are easy kills...

[Reaper90]

Why? most are easy kills...

Why? Because in the time it takes an average stick like me to work into a firing solution on the magical vertical machine, the other 3 or 4 cons have worked their way to a picking solution on me. 

I mostly only fly "lone wolf" and it seems most of the times when I encounter K4s they're being flown in a group (gang) by one of several of the squads that pride themselves on their 4v1 skills. But that's the MA so no whine here.

P-38 and Zeke when flown by a sufficiently skilled pilot.  They'll rope me in with promises of a quitck kill and be on my 6 before I have a clue WTF happened.  Most planes can do this... but the Zeke and 38 are really good at hiding it.

Same here, I pretty much few lone wolf, or occationally with Devil5O5 in F4's. But probably the 3 hardest planes to deal with on your own in a furball are (not nessicarily in order of difficulty):

1) spitfire
2) 109K
3) Ki-84

[MK-84]

I hate the K4 with a passion

Why?  Because I suck in them, and no one else seems to

Reaper, no offence, but the only time I remember running into you in the MA, you ran from me in a mossie to your friends then ganged me 4v1. So the only thing I see here is you projecting your own behavior.... food for though.

Whatever the current "easymode" aircraft is.  Nothing to do with the plane in particular... it's more about the people who fly them and their "path of least resistance" way of thinking.  There have been a few over the years.  For the longest time the Spit9 ruled the day (only because the V would compress easily).  The La7 and CHog had their turn.  The Nik.  The Spit16 had a firm grip and is still trying to hang on.  Today though, the K-4 rules.  An aircraft that can go vertical from a near stall... riiiiiight.
