K4. Ponies hate Taters.

A bit of a dilemma, considering K-4's are horrible at maneuvers along the speeds which the typical MA-environment P-51s are at... whereas Fw190Ds would be better suited at those speeds, but then quickly fall under trouble once the speed is down and overshoot maneuvering begins.

That being said, in a very average environment, the quickest way to dispatch of P-51s would be simply the La-7. Equally hated and fast enough to catch P-51s before they make their escape.

There are no such stats available.
However, we can look at kills of Air-to-Ground kills and Ground-to-Air deaths combines as a (weak) substitution:

Of course it's only showing part of the picture, especially in terms of offensive vs defensive attack missions. Spit 16s are mostly used defensively, while P-51 are much more being used on strikes into enemy territory.



What does air to ground kills only look like............ ? from my point of view I might suffer many deaths (in e.g an La7) fighting another AC low over enemy wirbles/ostwinds/gguns but have never carried ord against them.

Come on, the K4 is perfectly maneuverable at 500+   :D   (Not to mention, trimming is not even needed when they are just flying straight)
Also, it have been proved many many times, the 190D can turn with and outturn the pony at the stall speed, and do it in the most elegant way. Just use her control surfaces with a little bit of fantasy  ;)

Tell this to those lalas, ponies, jugs, 38s, 109s and even some spits who got killed in full flaps scissors situations, then called me a cheater.

Debrody, you are quite possibly the best Dora pilot to ever leave the game and still hang around on the forums.  Good luck and good hunting! :salute

Do you send these gems from the cockpit of your F-18, or do you wait until you're on the ground?

Jebus that one is getting old and has nothing to do with the thread. Give the guy a break already. ;)

kvuo75, that is a P-47 erroneously identified as a Mustang.
