Then I'm not flying in its sweet spot...

 :huh....I see no LOVE at all for the 109 E.....o yea 1st version.....early war...not the greatest in turns, climb, and speed rate....... :headscratch: but then again...something tells me its the pilot ...not the plane....pretty sure an ACE from this game...can TAKE any plane...and work it to his advantage, how you get to that level? Play the Game  :D..

...Zoney....i dont wanna hear about your Ta-152 sarcasm  :P .

Luftwaffe birds are dangerous in themselves...you just have to know how to handle them...and what are their strong suits....and their weak suits.....

O and my list goes as follows...

1. FW-190 A-8
2. FW-190 D
3. BF-109 F-4 and All G Series
4. TA- 152
5. ME 262

True, but let me ask you for some advice... I was getting some 1v1 with a Spit 16. I started with the F-4 but found myself consistently overmatched, it seemed. If I tried to out turn him, I'd invariably end up with him taking lead shots on me (perhaps I wasn't in the sweet spot of the f4s speed versus turn rate curve? - and where is that? for the g-4, its somewhere in the 250-325 range). The vertical was just as bad. It seemed liked I'd run out of energy well before him and my loops would collapse or worse... Invariably, after losing 3 of 4, I'd up the g-14. At least with that it was fairly easy to retain advantage: dive while using roll to track target, pull up and roll to put my canopy on the spit, dive again. If my lead shots were better, this would be more or less foolproof.
I'm not the person to ask this question. I'm just an average fighter pilot who has no extraordinary skills in fighters. None the less, The 109F does quite well slow with flaps out and at that point you can turn with most planes. The climb rate is also wonderful, so use this against other aircraft. The 109F is a devil on the deck, an does some of her best work there in my experience. That's pretty much all I have to say. Ask me a question on bombers and I'll write you an essay.  :aok

Its not about his usual MA score-'horing in his tempon but doing the same in the koth toc. Yea i definiately have a bad taste about him, especially since he have done something dirty yet hes posing as Mr Sportsmanship.

You might know that i wasnt a runner, not even in a 190, yet his comment about running as the luft tactic is just bad-willing and disgusting.

tried admirably to correct deb over this falling out in the 190 forum but he walked away from a rational discussion over what transpired with films and objective input from others and clearly still cannot accept it was well within the rules and chooses to blame me rather than himself, his connection or the host for letting him up.  wabbits in KOTH get hunted plain and simple.

really is a shame he can't get over it as he is one of a select few that can give me a good fight in my time zone.   

but don't want to de-rail this thread so will be last post on this matter.

It was you poking the sweet spot that the usual luft tactic is running. After that, what on earth do you expect from me?

You have no right to talk about rational discussions, nor about good fights, nor about rules, sportsmanship or anything.
Just stay quiet and fricken leave me alone, hypocrite.

90%  of luftwaffe fighters will try and use their excellent speed / climb and acceleration to get an advantage over planes that will flat out turn them.   Do I think they are all wuss pilots? no way, they are flying to their planes strengths.   

If I see someone TnB in a k4 and 190, I smile because they are having fun and getting stuck in as everyone should.

As long as they don't spit their dummy out when they hit the deck in a smoking wreck.

In your first post you told him he should kneel down before the three times ToC winner.


he walked away from a rational discussion over what transpired with films and objective input from others

As I recall, the general consensus of opinion was not that you were in the right but that you needed to have your head surgically removed from your own arse. I conjectured at the time that this procedure would be impossible.


but don't want to de-rail this thread so will be last post on this matter. 

You already derailed it by taking yet another opportunity to poke at him by asserting the K-4 is once again easy mode. And some how you internalize this as only Debrody having a problem  :rolleyes:


Debrody, stand tall.  :salute

I've started putting smilies at the end of sentences to indicate my poor attempts of humour but even with that help it gets overlooked.   :(

There was no smiley face in your comment to Debrody, you meant it. You are a long way from normal, well-balanced and reasonable so don't even try it.

Your earlier posts I can't say this about because I know you're deluded, but this ^ is a plain lie.
