Thats fine when you show up with 5-10k advantage. Different story when you are upping to defend a field or cv. By the time youve climbed that high, hes rtb or landing his damage points.

Anyone diving my high 6 is gonna take damage even if going 450 kts. Might not kill them but they arent gonna be rearming either.

Then they better sink it on the first pass, because I'll be on station hunting them for round two.  I don't need 5-10K' either.   Nowhere near that much.   Heck, 3K' is plenty if I'm already at max cruise speed or close to it.

I'll take that bet.  I'll win 8 of 10 at least with no damage—certainly none of significance if I stick to my profile.  A ping here or there?   Meh.    I'll rearm as long as nothing is hurt to the point of failure--like a gun.

0% true, especially if you are poor bomber gunner.   The only guys I even remotely worry about are APP75, Elec1, and maybe Ordy if he is in a B-26 on the deck.   Could be one or two others but that's it.   If I have height and speed you're dead via the profile previously described.  If I get impatient and attack/re-attack outside those parameters then all bets are off.

If that is true for you, you aren't a piss poor, but one of the better bomber gunners in game (which you very well may actually be, as with most things the 'average skill' is far lower than most forum posters seem to think)
High and fast 6 o clock attacks had been a standard of mine when attacking low to med bombers in US (=.50cal) planes. There were few players being capable of consistently applying heavy damage to my planes with this attack profile.

I would argue 109 K4 or the Ta152 in the correct hands these are untouchable.

In the correct hands, both of those planes will bore you to death.

I once had a 152 Boom zoom extend out of icon range and return (BnZEooRnR) me for so long that I stepped out of my mossie infront of the quad hisponos and asked my navigator to pull the trigger.

To each their own. Stall fighting the 152 was my favorite thing to do in the game. Never used it to BnZ.

Spit XVI, While not the fastest its imo more dangerous that for ex a K-4. Even a Brewster can be dangerous if it has the alt advantage but a spit 16 can fight its way out even if it starts in a disadvantageous position. And even an average player can succeed in a 16 without hovering 5k above the rest.
It can also take enough ord to be a good tank buster so it can ruin the day for the tanker boys too.

I've been outclassed by skilled pilots in inferior machines before. I keep engaged because sometimes it's like watching a ballet and it's just as beautiful to watch them perform knowing full well I'm going to be in a chute in a matter of minutes. 

If pilots are equally skilled, then the machine matters.

P-47D-11 with this skin is the most dangerous plane in the game. If you see it, your'e already in the tower.

:aok INDEED,Sir! Why it is my favorite. Gets enough alt(quickly) to dive bomb and its E building properties lend itself to descent defensive dog fighting as well(from a disadvantaged situation). I love it!  :rock
