For the first time, literally ever......
« on: September 01, 2022, 05:18:53 PM »
I have a positive K/D ratio!   :rofl :rofl :rofl



Landed 2 back to back sorties, first with 3 kills in a Spit 16 on a formation of Mossy 16s, and then a 3 kill sortie in a Seafire, where I downed 2 Ju88s, then had a really tight, hard fight against BR549 on the deck against his Brewmaster whilst one of his teammates in a P-47M made passes on me (which I evaded every time). Extremely tight dogfight, one of the best I've ever had, but I checkmated him.  :airplane:

(We don't talk about the Mitchell deaths, I never really fly bombers anyway)  :x

Further development.......

I'm not sure I'll ever understand why I do better in a Mosquito Mk 6 than a Spitfire Mk 16, but I'll take what I can get, standing at a kill ratio of a little over 2:1 in the Mossy.

MAN I love the Mossy, it can really do it all as long as I start the fight on top. Plus I've pulled off so many shot-up landings, landing with half a wing is almost easy. Engine outs happen a lot too.  :airplane:

The Mosquito is the only fighter I have a positive K/D on, inexplicably. Regardless, it works in my favor because me killing H0tard's La-7 just once today landed me a nifty 11 perk points, thanks to the Mossy's ENY of 30. I swear, it should have a lower ENY, it's an incredible plane.

try some of the 190's Tig.  Just don't get into a turn fight.  Zoom and boom dude.  I loved hunting bombers in my beloved 190

Yeaaahhhh no.  :noid

I have a severe stigma against 190s, ESPECIALLY the Dora. I tried a few 190s in the offline 4v4 dogfights anyway and it just hurt to fly on a number of levels.

I don't like to BnZ if I have other options, it just doesn't feel like a real fight to me.

If you want to join me in turning and burning in Mosquitos though....  :devil

BnZ isn't as much fun as TnB but more realistic as no one danced in ww2 unless they had to..

Missing is definitely better than its ENY would suggest. Those guns and loadout make for a very capable plane if flown right.. Great job!
