Takes just one good fight a night to keep bringing me back for my nightly hour...

I do my part this month by staying out of late war birds with the 109g2 being the latest model with the 109e and 109f making up the difference..

I think it's up to us old guys to set the example but it seems many are still  worried more about winning than having fun ...

Stop doing what you are whining here about and stay out of the lw birds yourselves..

Yeah eagler I'm going to up a k4 or p51 when I enter the bottom of a fight against an entire country with little to no help. I can't explain to you why a mob of 30 guys sitting 15 to 20k over a field though feel the need to roll tempest and such.

If it's fun for you to put yourself at an even bigger disadvantage.. to each their own.

Their choice what they fly..not sure why anyone with any time in game flies a spit16 - maybe their granddad was in the raf - but if that keeps them making a red dot in ma, I am all for that verse them go fly jets in the prettier sim..

Just doing my part trying to keep a pulse going in my favorite distraction..  :aok

This has been the status pro quo the past few nights but what is funny is that there is virtually NO resistance but flock in groups of 50 to 1 to take a base. I'm all for organizing and having a group on the same page but it would be nice if once in a while those groups would be organized to have missions to combat other big numbers. Just once in a while

The P-38 makes up the majority of the kills in my AH career, yet I was chastised for learning how to fly the 152 and D9 to fight the mobs...  It used to be fun to start with a disadvantage like that, but all too often it seemed like it turned into 1v10.  I had to completely change my flying style to accommodate the rest of the arena just to have fun (and it wasn't fun for the record).

Absolutely.

I fly D9, but I’m killing dar, deacking town and then fight the 2-4 that up, OR end up in the middle of a HOing horde. <shrug>

with AWACS radar, taking off from another fields does not help, horde climb more to bounce incoming threats. With old radar you could climb up undetected, and have a fighting chance, still outnumbered though.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.
