They are dropping like flies! (except Dora, Yak and Tempest)
« on: March 09, 2001, 04:15:00 AM »
K/D for new planes:

Ar 234 - 3/24 = 0.125
Fw 190F-8 - 50/84 = 0.595
Fw 190D-9 - 460/330 = 1.39 <-
La 7 - 374/375 = 0.997
P-51B - 151/224 = 0.674
Ta 152H - 82/75 = 1.093
Tempest - 156/63 = 2.476 <-
Yak 9T - 171/140 = 1.221

Who the hell is flying Ta 152!?!?

Whoever's just getting 2.4k/d in the Tempest is really not using it well. I haven't flown it online yet, but just testing offline it's plain to see this plane is incredible.

Look at the 190F8!

It's basically an A8.
That's what happens when the plebeian masses gets hold of such a beautiful plane.

Why not? I haven't tried it online yet but the plane rocks offline. It is a really great machine!

I know! What I wonder is who flies it so poorly that it has barely positive K/D?!?!

Tempest seems to be a real uber perkplane this far.

Watch that 51B stat closely- I don't know how people are dying in it. That little bug is smooth and fast. Not much punch in it, but enough if you get close.

I died a couple times in the B trying to field suppress- ack and a B17 "base defender".

All I can dream about today is being in "Shangrai La" tonight...

 51B a sweet ride   So is that Yak-9T with it's "demolisher" cannon  

 Chased a TA-152 down low on the deck and he started leaving my 51B in the dust easily when suddenly a higher friendly swooped down making him break and maneuver. Yum!

The P51-B is a sweet ride.  Tried it last night for one sortie.  Three kills and I cruised home.  This is my favourite ride of the new planes easily, and likely the only one I'll fly other than the Jug.

Tried the Dora.  Luftwobbly POS, you can have it.  Ta152... haven't tried it yet, but I expect it to be just as FWish.  I can't stand those trashy little planes.  The Tempest is not bad.  I'll be saving my perks for a P47M though.

Now the Ar234... that is a SWEET vehicle.  If I had some .50's in the nose of that sucker, I'd be set.    I don't know what those bomb things do though, I didn't bother dragging them around.  My only purpose to flying the Ar is to blast past the guys trying to catch it and laugh at them as they dive after me in futility.  

Well that was interesting... now back to my Jug.

Incredibly, I saw all kinds of people taking off in Ta152s from front-line, fields under vulch attack, and attempting to turnfight under 5k. Unfortunately someone else would whack them before I could get to them.

Hence, the Ta152s kill ratio.
