Tri-Level Cons vs. Ideal Plane(s)
« on: January 02, 2015, 08:49:49 AM »
Hey all,

In a scenario where you have cons below you, co-alt and above you, which plane(s) do you feel handle surviving\thriving in this environment the best and why?

Of course it is the pilot that should have ample SA but the context of this thread is the PLANE.

Some thoughts I had for this scenario are:
  • Visibility is useful.  You cant counter what you cant see!
  • You cant waste E! If you get slow your dead meat!

What are your thoughts on what plane(s) handle this scenario the best?


Thanks,

Slade  :salute

Hmmm.  Seems to me you need all round performance or to be very good in a turny bird.  Yak-3, La-7, Ki-84, Spitfire Mk VIII, Spitfire Mk XVI, Bf109F-4, Bf109G-2.  The Spits are kinda marginal due to their fragility and the Yak-3 and Bf109s are marginal due to light firepower.  I think the planes on top really make it rough for E builders that aren't that maneuverable such as the Bf109K-4 and Spitfire Mk XIV.  Speed birds like the P-51D, Typhoon, Fw190D-9, P-47M and Tempest could likely dive out and run, but that is conceding control of the airspace to the enemy, better than being shot down but not winning for sure.  A great turny bird pilot might be able to do it in the A6M3, A6M5, FM2, N1K2-J or Hurricane Mk IIc.

109k4, I can dive to get away and build energy faster than likely any of them can if I need to.

It depends entirely on how much room you have below you.

How would you answer if you were say 8k in this scenario?

Ki61 ... I may not win...but it'll a good time till I die...or win....who knows....I may just pull off some goods shots

basics though...a spit V up or Ki84 are able to adapt to all types of fight in reasonably quick time (my opinion)

Mosquito.
Because if you die, try to do it in the coolest plane you can find.

Depends on what planes you're going up against and a bunch of other factors but my vote goes for the 109F. It can just simply out fight everything in the skies when used right :)

Your answer to everything is the 109F.
