I am so scared of trees that I had 2 large trees in my front yard cut down and the stumps ground.

About 2 weeks later my wife said the front yard looks way too big now. She had me buy 2 Live Oaks and plant them in the front. At this point they are only about 12 feet or so tall. I already wake up in the middle of the night in deep sweats thinking about those trees and how they may affect my 38 in just a few years..... This can't be normal.

If I had the means, I'd plant a "Big Dubbeyuh" in my front yard to keep the vulchers at bay.

109-F Vs P-40E
A yappy back seater like Jester wasn’t popular or fun to fly with, more of an unnecessary distraction than anything else---Puma44

109-F Vs P-40E

Before the P-40 remodel, the E was more competitive, though still no match for the 109F.

The P-40E has better guns and better handling at very slow speed.  But if it doesn't close the deal right then, the 109 will helicopter up and peck it to death, as it is much faster and has a huge climb rate advantage.  Equal pilots, the 109 pilot would really have to be having an off day.






A much closer fight would be the 109E vs P-40C.  Speeds are close and the Emil only has an 800' climb advantage. 


The Yak-7b and P-39Q are very close in performance.  The Q needs WEP to equal the Yak, but it has better flaps.

After reading the title of this thread, I immediately thought of two dweebs who have been around for at least the past decade!!

These two pilots you all probadly have heard of in your green and I know either one of these dweebs have never backed or "ran" from hany of the diehard trolls! Either here on the BB or even in game. My best guess as who would best choice.

Wax with his little Jap cannons in his Nik.
My second pilot would be Yucca.

In any "bar fight" that happened In the MA I would choose either 1 one of these two sticks.

I have been tooling around in 109f in ma this tour...

Much fun, it helps not having the expectation of actually landing your kills...

Had a string of 7 kills one sortie last night before I kamikaze into a bomber...

It's a real shame we are limiting the MA fun with just the plane choices we make..

Yup, it turns the difficulty level way up when you fly less advantaged planes and makes the fights much better for all. People would much rather die BnZing you than you BnZing them   :D
