Kills of P51s

That would be 21 p51 kills and 21 different pilots.

When I fly the P51 I fight in it. It usually surprises people an you can get the upper hand. If things aren't going my way though I can put the nose down and boogie.

See, that isn't really fighting then.

It's realistic and historically correct tho.

I fixed it for you

LOL what do you even know? I can't remember the last time we even were close to each other in the MA. Stop making stuff up based on your lame biases.

Yup....As aggravating as it is. I've never flown a 51, but it seems a smart move to me. Why stay and fight when you lose the advantage. Disengage then re-engage when it's more advantageous. I fly a spit XVI, when I get into a turning fight with a Brew or Zeke and lose my advantage I disengage and come back in. Why stick around?

Yes, but in the context of this kind of thread he can't brag about being one of the guys who will fight in the P-51D and in the very next sentence say how he puts the nose down and runs if it starts to turn against him.

It isn't the wrong way to play by any means, but it means he is just a normal P-51D driver in the game.

  Nothing made up about it, you engaged,I reversed and got behind you,and you went nose down and ran to friends.
   I have no reason to make it up,just the fact of the matter is you are just as guilty as the next pony pilot for tucking tail and running when you start to lose a fight.

I dont

putting your nose down and running to ack or friends is anything but fighting.......... and to call it "fighting"....well I thought you were smarter then that.

I'm quite aware you have a very limited concept of "fighting" as well as a very much oversimplifying view of things.

You are the one claiming that. Not me. That's just what you put into other peoples words. That's what I meant with "oversimplifying",  there's only black and white.  If someone states that he might use his plane's speed instead of continuing to turn with one or several oppomnents superior at that trait, he is automatically "running to his friends". There can be NO other option, it MUST be that way.

I wish my world were that simple.
