Marvelous Brewster.

can those 2 words be used in the same sentence together?  :O

With a little grammatical tweaking:

"You Rook Marvelous, Brewster."

Kudos to those who can stick to a single plane for 30 days.  My attention span is far too short for such an endeavour.

How many have been able to acomplish this without a single deviation in your aircraft of choice?

Ehh, I've tried to do it, but always like to change it up.

Tour January 2015 180, I did it in the temp, with a few other kills in another plane, just to prove a point about fast planes and their effectiveness in survival.

I tried to do it in the P38 this tour just to spite akak for personal reasons  :devil but I like upping off the CV for closer fights so I got a few F4U sorties.


The thing is, different planes are better for different situations, and the amount of time you have to play that day. Only sticking to one plane can be detrimental to your success in certain situations and fights. You don't up a P47 to defend against raiders out of that base, you'd want a 109, la7/5, Ki84, or N1K for that. Now if there is another base near by you can up for alt then that would be a good idea for a P47. If you only have 30 minutes to play that day. Upping from a far base would take time, and upping on the capped base would be suicide, so it may limit your gaming abilities to only fly 1 type of plane.

Why would you flying the P-38 for a tour "spite me"?  You're under the wrong impression if you think I give a rat's bellybutton whether or not you fly a P-38 for a tour.

I would venture a guess that many of my squaddies have never seen the inside cockpit of anything other than a P38   :D

Any clown can fly one plane all tour when he only has one mission profile that he flies.

Try flying one plane and perform most types of missions such as high altitude intercepts, pounding a town, base defense, bombing strategic targets, defending strategic targets, sinking CVs.......etc.

I'm not in your squad, but that would be me.

I occasionally fly a carrier plane if I really have to take off from a CV. 

I often fly a C-47 or M3 to run supplies when they are needed. 

Other than that, the P-38 is my ride!!   :x

Sometimes I'll commit to flying a single ride for a month just to try and get the feel for it. It's hard to do it exclusively when you participate in missions, bombing raids, goon runs and gv'ing, though.

Done similar:

1. Up first plane on list.
2. Fly it until I get a kill in it.
3. Up next plane in list.
4. Repeat.

I think I flew a Spit I for a month prior to the last BoB scenario.  If not exclusively it was close.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
