This game is one of the best in my opinion, even with some of the whiney little poops in here. I love to fly and fight in almost any airplane, the Dora being one of my favorites. I love the Corsair, the Spit IX, the Spit VIII, the Yak-3, Yak-9, occasionally the LA-7, The mossy, the Zeke, the Ki-84, the Nicky, the Lightening, the Jug, the Pony, several flavors of the 109, and the 190-A5, A8, the P-39......I guess I don't really have a favorite, and I like to watch the players that specialize in a particular plane. The Dora is a blast, it's fast, dives well, has months of WEP, and cannons. It is hard to turn fight with, and does best vertically, or pulling the nose up slightly and chopping power before you start turning and burning. I don't follow any strict rules on fighting, as it doesn't really matter to me in my cartoon airplane. I usually don't know how many planes I've shot down in a sortie, and I don't really care. I like fighting several people in here, as they make my heart rate get up, and they usually don't talk smack first. Smack talk is something a lot of people do to increase the fun of the game, I don't because it takes too much effort. I usually won't respond to someone who's butt hurt or trying to get in some smack talking, once again, too much effort, and I don't like trying to type while flying VR. I have the bad habit of diving into high numbers of enemy planes and turning, which usually is predictable in how it ends.
This isn't an ego game for me, so I don't care about score, kills per sortie, or many things people try to measure their skill by. If I did, I'd fly a Pony or a Dora exclusively, and climb to high altitude and only engage when I found someone alone, or occupied with much less alt then myself. There are those players in the game, and I don't care if that is what they want to do, they can be a pain in the butt if you want to turn and burn, but it's their choice on how to play in a game that makes that work. If you wanted to ensure no alt monkeys were around to break up a fight, there should be an arena set up like Monday night madness, and another with air starts at 20k for the alt monkeys. Fly, kill, die, and repeat. Love you all, and God bless the BW1stpar like players in this game, as he flies well, doesn't complain if he's shot down, and always communicates and helps everyone. Enjoy this game while we have it, it's a lot of fun.
If you kill me in any fight, just assume I would salute you, with my new VR headset, I don't type much at all. I appreciate every kind of kill, be it a HO, a tank main gun round, (that still amazes me), or a classic turn and burn. Every once in a while I want to kill someone who is flying a plane I like poorly, or cheaply, but that's just me being a grumpy old poop. I hope to see you in the unfriendly skies, especially if you're on fire and in my gunsights <S>.
