Yea Westy!

They sure do taste good!  Yum,Yum!!  I love the new F4U.  Needs alittle salt, though!!  

From what I've seen they're good to use for vulching!

Salt Swager????  

Damn those things should taste like anchovies, they're so salt encrusted. Remember we are talking about Carrier Birds here.

I flew my first two missions last night in fw to try out new wep(excellent). Then about 5 missions in F4U(20)...I think that last night people where not realizing their peril when shot at by new f4u and not reacting like they where in danger at 1k...People will not make that mistake for much longer..
Bomber pilots take note..Before you try to lure that interceptor to his death...make sure he is not sea blue...

Correction: La5 will not catch a hog. The La-5FN has a limit of speed in the 380-400 mph range, plus without WEP above 8k now we cannot accelerate nearly fast enough in the 300 mph+ range to hope to catch a hog unless hes below us and we can dive on him. However, I believe a G10 should be able to play catch with one?

These K/D ratios omit the fact that the fast, heavily armed planes are the favorite rides for shameless vulchers like me.  Since vulching a field can rack up a lot of kills, these vulchwagons have a higer K/D.  If I had to guess I would list the P-51 as having the best all around non-vulching K/D.

With so much of the fighting being either vulching or defending against vulchers, the 109s haven't been able to show their stuff.  The same thing happens in WB, where the 109 does much better in scenarios than it does in the MA.

Maybe F4U is slightly more modelled with additional bonuses than Fw190?
That might be a reason.... (btw. more likely 109 for me than 190, more survivable and more kills)

Biggest reason for lousy K/Ds, like spits and n1k2s, is caused by vulching.. they take off hundred of times and die as many times.

P-51? no...  I would say Bf109 is the best.
Can't really fight your way off in a P-51, like in Bf109  
Spitfire or N1K2 would be the second... can fight their way out of trouble.
Note; this is also based on that how easy it is to go into fights. Of course you can do great K/D in any plane, but in what time scale? You'll engage more freely in 109/N1K2/spit than in P-51.

Seems the G2 is getting rid of that sorry K/D ratio slowly as we speak. Currently having reached 0.76 (51/67).

In my eyes its a beauty both in performance and apperance.

I definitely agree on the appearance!  As I posted earlier, the 109 is one of my top three WWII planes on the "beauty" scale, and those Finnish markings are a nice touch by HTC ...  

Snefens, I saw where Camo was flying this one, are most of your unit flying it, too?  

P.S. Love your squadron (one of the coolest!) & web site.

Ah, the patented Fishu "Allied Conspiracy at
HTC" ineuendo. Maybe we could start a pool: whoever comes closest to guessing the number of times he offers this up over the next six months wins.

Can't I even say "maybe"?
Just as a note, I haven't been flying 1.00 yet... so, I just replied a response for that one crybaby, who was yelling about LWs crying... (hush.. not yer business!  )

So far only a fraction of the squad is playing this, but trying my best to convert more  

I know Camo like the G2 too, not sure about Nattulv and Jarski hates it I think  

Our CO BlauKreuz do all the site-maintainence, I will pass the compliement along. He would also like to try AH, but can't get more than 3 FPS for some reason (not THAT bad a computer). He is to buy new one soon, so maybe one more LLv34'er at AH then

Thanks for your kind words, Gator  

Yep, not too many of our squad (only 4) are playing AH, I really cant see why?  Too hard, maybe   And they're also frightened of the upcoming cost, which is totally understandable.  This is not for everybody!

BK should be getting his new 'puter within a few days, I'm sure he'll be glued to the screen atleast for his 2 week trial  

Cya online!

You start a squad with rather historical name or even join one and the game even has a plane with the paint scheme of the squad, and then you don't fly the damn plane 99% of the time. What is the point of wasting a good name like that?
