The true challenge is taking out tanks with the C.202.

It takes a couple of passes.

First, you do a low, slow pass with canopy open during which you insult the tank crew's lineage, preferably in their native language.

Then you make a gunnery pass and aim for the eye slits.

I've killed turrets or tracks on Panders but never been able to kill one with 30MM
Kingpin has killed my panzer with 50cals from a jug.. Shoots straight down the turret... Flys up rolls over blasts right on top not from side but straight down.. Two or three passes I think he penetrates and kills my driver rather than just damaging my panzer

Been flying the 202 some this tour. It should be an ENY 80 plane with the pea shooters. Ping them and wait for them to auger.

If it werent for the guns it would actually be a semi decent plane!

It's the best-flying aircraft in the plane set.  The WWI guns just pose an extra challenge.

The 202 offers the highest performance/firepower ratio of all fighters in the game  :old:

Also, how many planes have a leopard skin?
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

I think the KI61 is close on this one -- I've been flying it a couple months now and love it!

I may have to try this.  I can hardly force myself to login lately I am so bored with the game.

Agreed.  Pity that we lost the pulsating clown tail from AH1.

Ki61 is probably the most underappreciated plane in the set, IMHO.

It really is capable.  Not fast, but it dives well and turns reasonably well.  And it holds E very well after a dive.  I know I've chased people from on high in vastly faster planes and kept up with them beyond expectation many times.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.
