A 109 Dweeb Question

Damn, if only I could sit at the cool kids table.   

If you were able to you likely would never have played AH.

Methinks none of us can be considered "cool"....more like "nerds", "dweebs" or "dorks".

and sometimes "Drunk foolish idiots" as was my case in another thread last night..... wish that dang time limit on modifying a post never timed out, I would be deleting everything I posted last night while boozed up.... but it's there now so take it as an example of what not to do when you are way past your clear thinking limit while chugging down the evil spirits ( whiskey,etc )

I now really, really, really like 109G2's. 

G2s are great planes, regular pilots of them aren't afraid to take on anyone and anything even outnumbered, it has a decent balance of Engine and Agility for the MA that gives a player a confidence and enjoyment of flight and fighting .

I agree. I like it even more than the F4 (which I like a lot)...but only because of the gondolas option.   

I tend to take gondolas despite the hit to agility, climb and speed.  The extra firepower is worth it to me because I'm a lousy shot.

Despite the popular opinion, I don't think Gondies really effect the planes performance all the much. IMO it's more important to be able to kill opponents fatser by shooting them more, rather than have a slightly lighter plane, yet have weaker fire power and have to chase them aeouns longer, when they could have have been dead already.

That being said, I think you can still get the same amount of kills with either load out. But IMHO using only 1 cannon allows you to get picked easier having to chase planes around longer.
It really doesn't effect performance as badly as some would like to believe.

Gondolas are ugly looking!

thats a negative ghost rider.

My experience as well...at least in the G2.  The G6 feels sluggish to me normally...throw two gondees on her and its worse (at least to me).  YMMV

They are indeedy.

We fly cartoon airplanes. 

I rest my case. 

Acceptance is the first step to recovery....assuming you would want to do so...I don't!!

Accept your "inner geek", Deb.  It's OK.  I got over it years ago!

Its like drug abuse...if you keep it secret no one has to know!

Charts say otherwise... Climb, speed, roll rate, and turn rate are all compromised... Also, see stigler for an anecdotal account: http://109lair.hobbyvista.com/articles/pilots/stigler/stigler.htm
