I would say I'm much more likely to decide what plane I fly based on the state of my gunnery at any given time than any other factor
Same plane for any and all situations. Simple.
when you enter furballs. You know it, just admit it. You judge the size and magnitude and then select your a/c based on how outnumbered you are, lol!!!Furball - Sides are even, some goofs are bombing inaccurately and you die when you make mistakes. Normal night. Plane Selection: Your normal birdHoly Cow Furball - Red outnumber the green 2 to 1. No bombers in sight...they just want to kill you and vulchpickHOram. You're dying a little more than you like.Plane Selection: Your normal ride..maybe, just maybe you pick a non-embarrassing turny bird of the manly kind. 1, 1A, 61, etc.WTF Furball - Red is now fully in your DAR bar 3 to 1, some idiot is screaming "JOIN MY MISSION" on country channel, you die trying to squelch him, you up and are hosed by a random 190 that ran up on the base at 14ft AGL and got below the turrents on the field ack. You mad now but you smile when your child walks into the room and says, "daddy, why did you kick fido?"Plane Selection: Tempy, CHOG, NIK, Spit IX, 84, anything but a F6F since you can't see crap out of it. BUT, you up from a base a little further away, yes, yes you do because youre smart.Jesus-Tapdancin-Christ Furball - Red is all around, the basetake mentality is now rabid dog, vulchfest, even ACKACK is below 15K and there are two other guys besides yourself and you are dying at intervals measured in miliseconds. You are PIZZED OFF!!!!!! You are cursing your countrymen on country channel for not helping and you vow to pizz on the first guy that excuses himself from the fight.Plane Selection: 16's, zekes, and BrewstersThis is (*&^ BULL-(*%$ Furball - You can't up. When you do, a noob kills you by accident. You're embarrassed to play for that chess piece and the same goofball is screaming on country about somePony D mission he thinks will win the war that you no longer care about. Everyone has left you and troops are running.Plane Selection: Jet rage from another base. Kill them all, pizz on them, I hate them for killing me and making cowards out of my scoremonger countrymen. Everyone sucks but you and if they would just admit to being testicularly challenged, you'd feel a smidge better.discuss
