Its all about who's driving the plane. This sort of dick stroking is seen all the time and its always...pilot.

i failed to mention in my earlier post that this holds true to all aircraft.
Know the sercets and weaknesses of your aicraft. Know the sercets and weanesses of the aircraft your flying and aganist.
Exploit the weaknesses while surpressing the strengths. Do this and u will win every fight! Versus any plane and most pilots..
But this doesn't hold true to the MA as much to the CT.
The MA is like one big furball going on all at once. You can't really engage just one fighter. Thats probaly why I suck so bad. Cause in AW i never really was any good in a furball. I was good at 1v1 fights.. Now there's a sport.. A 1v1 fight in a 38 is the best thing a 38 driver can dream about. Because it just you and him.. and no one else... That is why I call it a sport..
oh and

P-38 RULES!!! As fester likes to put it

what? hate the peeee38? me? Nah. the red peee38's are merely an annoyance. The green ones be can nice to have around... everybody jumps on em like crab legs at a chinese buffet. Nice to have the horde shoot at something besides my pony.

190's and 109's... THOSE I hate.

Not that it really matters Midnight, but we climbed to engage you when I killed fulz, and yes I missed him on the first pass because I am not very good at this GAME.

(edit--to much wine mixing with testostrone----- my apology)

The funny thing was in the P38 I had the best K/D I have had (which isn't very good) I found that you had to think much more before engaging with the 38 because you cant run, you have to fight. TAC knows how to really kill in the 38, but he know that ACM stuff.

Here's my k/d record against P-51D's from my first three tours (currently in middle of tour #3).

Tour 22: 6 Kills of P-51D and 6 Deaths by P-51D

Tour 23: 32 kills of P-51D and 24 Deaths by P-51D

Tour 24: 16 Kills of P-51D and 7 Deaths by P-51D

Hmm..always seem to shoot down them down more than they shoot me down.

aknimitz · « **Reply #43 on:** January 22, 2002, 02:21:12 AM »

My experience has been that the P38 owns the P51D, ALL things being equal. 2 pilots, each comfortable in their plane, fighting it out ... co-alt, co-E ... I'd rather be the P38.

ALl of you people posting stats - they are absolutely irrelevant. I have killed 2 262's in a 202, and never been killed. So does that mean the 202 is better? Well hell no. So many variables enter into the equation here. Many P51 pilots that have posted on this board, and I said many because there are certainly exceptions, are strict BnZ E fighters that wont get down and mix it up with a P38. Mix it up with my 38 and I'll own ya

Just to set records straight then...

It was Fatz, not FulzGold that you shot down.

Trust me when I say you guys dove in from our high six to attack us. There is no other way you would have been able to do it.

Fatz was AFK on full power auto-climb with 75% fuel load at takeoff. You guys jumped us at about 17K. If we were already over you, there is no way that your P-38s would be able to climb up to us to attack. If you were under us, I would have attacked you first and prevented you from climbing up to kill my AFK wingman.

And yes, I understand this is a game. But I play to win, just like any other game I play, on the computer or on the court, either way, I want to win.
