Kong, you're a machine in that FM2 though. Got her figured out and tuned purring like a kitten.

I fly the Spit V ALL the time. It's a 1941 plane and a fantastic turn machine. I LOVE it when late war Spitfire's try to turn with me and I end up chewing up their arses and throw them into chutes (or towers). And with my favourite skin courtesy of Greebo (thanks sir :salute) ) I fly it every night I log in at least once.

And you get a crap load of perk points for flying early war planes in the MA. I have enough for a couple of 262 rides and a couple B-29/AR234 runs.

Please show the data that supports your claim of "90%".




The top 10 planes are all late war planes.

If you want to fly early war planes, go right ahead, you've paid for a subscription and have every right to choose them.  I have also paid for a subscription, and not that it matters but I've paid quite a bit longer than you have, i get to fly whatever planes I want also.


I want to fly early war planes and mid war planes also.... but other players who are playing late war planes stop me from doing that, because if someone flies a 190 d9  or a p51d  I will never catch him in a spit 1.

So in essence I have to play like others want me to play, not the way I would like to play.

Can you see that your solution to the "problem" is to have others play the way you want them to play?

You want a rolling plane set. We got it already.

No, you have not developed the skill to fly those aircraft in this game the way you want to yet. This is not an easy game to transition to from other air combat games you might think are co-equal. You are starting to sound like a long list of well known players who spend their time telling Hitech to change the game to favor how they want to play it.

Learn how to fly a fighter in this game instead of trying to tell Hitech to change it to suit your wants. And if you think you are an early war fighter gawd or something like that, PM Bruv119 for a duel in early war fighters. Most of the audience in this post will happily warm you up for him.

Don't chase them.  I don't.  Most of them come back screw up and die...

Is there a chart on "sorties flown" by plane type?

Is it because you are afraid of being shot down?  If that is the case you might as well only fly in the training arena, since you can't be shot down there.  If you want to learn to fly early and mid war planes, you will die, a lot.  But guess what, it doesn't matter at all.


The above was written as if you are actually sincere, however, I suspect you are one of the better trolls to come along in a long time.

Ah, so you meant figaratively 5 planes are used 90% of time, rather than 5 planes are actually used 90% of the time. :devil

There are a lot of late war planes flying, so what. They mostly make just as big a burning wreck as the early and mid war.  You won't win all fights regardless of what you fly or who you are.  The key is to have fun in whatever you fly...now those uber dwirbles and manned guns-now that's something that should be looked at :)! :airplane:

No, the Top 10 planes are not all late war planes.  I'll let you try and figure out which one is a mid-war plane (1943).

If someone can't see the problem that 5 planes are used 90% of time where there are 50 planes  I can't make him see the problem.

If you can't state the problem then you either don't know what it is or there is no problem. You seem to be promoting your personal preferences with fake facts.
