Me too.  And big jugs.  And 190s.  And big blue planes.

And FSO.

Wiley.

Me too. As far as jugs go, I want to learn the P-47M....just a cool plane. The 190: I want to go against the grain and learn the A5. Dorkas are all over the place and they bore me. As far as bloo planes go, I'm still in love with the FM2. It's agile, good views and carries a good load of ammo. It doesn't hit hard however and it's agonizingly slow. Still love it!

FSO: best experience in this game for me. Nothing better than listening to chatter on the radio and laughing with/at you guys while upping for a battle. Watching you ruthless killers shred stuff at that battle is sublime and keeps me going.

The A-5 is the best 190 in the game. You trade speed to gain everything else.  :aok

It’s more agile and fun to fly. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of uber planes flown that require more horsepower to compete with.

A lot call the D9 an uber plane, it’s not. You have no flaps above 180IAS.They are more for landing. If you’re that slow to use them you’re probably soon dead.

Most players gravitate to the best planes most of the time.  The Dora is consistently in the top 5 killers every single tour.

Considering the 190D gets the top kills or 2nd top kills per tour every month, Id say it is an Uber plane, epscially with the K/D it gets on average. Most folks cant stand fighting 190Ds because they just BnZ and high tail it with that amazing acceleration once in trouble. One of the best climbers and divers in the game. And of course 500 cannons to spray and pray with. It should be a 5 eny plane with the La7.


The 190A5. Now that is the plane for men who want to show their skill. Can't just run when in trouble. But its a super fun plane. Turns okay but not great, but better than the 190D.

The key to 190s is being high and fast and using the quick roll rate to create angles in your maneuvers.


For the OPs response. Yes, Im having fun, or else id leave the game. The dogfight action is still top notch when the tide is right.

That being said, there is always room for improvement and its important to take suggestions from your top players who've been here for a while, espcially if you are in charge of a game that you don't even play in order to understand even the dynamic of the main arena currently. Suggestions and player consensus should never be discouraged. Its why we are at the current #s now, because stagnation in development usually means no more updates and therefore no new changes which discourages players from spending the time in the game. As someone whose been here for a while, I can see certain issues in fights that make the game very fun, and certain issues in fights that can easily ruin the experience for people. My goal is to have the largest battles possible with the shortest flight distance. Small 1sey 2sey fighters at a field dont do it for me, and if I have to fly a whole sector + for hopefully an attempt to shoot a red guy, that also doesn't do it for me. I know that rings true for most of the players. Hence why some nights have fights going to into the late night while other nights trail off early, and that goes for afternoon action as well.

Where are these plane kill stats?
Have you flown the D9 for any length of time?
The plane is flown as designed in BnZ
That said, I don’t run, If I did my score would be higher. I’ll TnB, most know that. Thats not what it was designed for. Ya want D9 flown as TnB for an easier kill? That would not be smart D9 pilot.

We have this repeat convo often.
Many planes whup a D9 and can catch it.
During ENY the D9 is not available

Why is it 109 jockys want every late model plane perked.
Dumb the game down around the 109s?
Some talk like the 109 is a tricycle. Its a beast. So much so many countries tried to design a plane to beat it. You’re not flying a garbage plane. Ya just want easier kills in a 109.

I’m only new to you, no offense, seriously, but after 37yrs you’re new to me. I’m not ignorant to plane abilities. If I wanted an uber plane it would be Spits, NIK, 51, 47, LA, Yak, Typh/Temp, 38 All of which can B slap a D9. D9 is not top self uber. It may b high, but again the planes I just mentioned smack it around.

Top kills in a chart are deceiving, them most flown plane can end up there. Just like scores. Its not always ability it can be how much time one puts in. Not the same monkey. Stats all depend on how you squint your eyes.
