190's for fighter sweeping, Dora the mostly

109G2 for base defense.

Lately trying out Allied fighters sometimes, P38 is very nice (very good alround plane)

i'm a spit tnb dweeb who has been forced into a p51d (which i fly pretty much like a spit, sorta - it does have a merlin after all) so i can chase down the planes which (practically all of them) run from the spits.

P51D because nobody ever expects pilots that fly in dresses can actually turn the damn thing and kill you with it.

What I find truly amazing is that 190's and 109's still try to scissor with us. Scissors? Hey, no sweat; we can even buttonhole and chain-stitch without breaking a nail... and since we switched to short dresses, flying inverted is a treat for everybody.

190D9, cause I'm retarded

Fighter-->Me 109 G10
JG 52, great buff hunter, great E, great B&Z, great 1vs1...with 109 G10 don't have limits.

Jabo-->F4U-D
With 2x1000lb + 8 rockets I can send to the hell 2 or 3 GV and after I have 2400x13mm for spray.

190 strictly(Miss D and a5 mostly),,,,,,,,well sometimes the JUG for jabo.
It would be a nightmare for me to find out,,,,,that I performed better in spit:D

BlauK · « **Reply #37 on:** February 18, 2002, 04:31:40 AM »

109G-2 ...just because of the "von Rosen crosses" and MT-222 serial markings

P47D-30 in MA. Turns well, suprises enemy with it's low speed turning ability, as well as high 400mph turning ability. The higher the alt, the better it performs speed wise. Does a great scissors also. 8X.50s imho very close to lethality of 4XHispanos'.

FW190A8 in CT. Roll rate very good. Fair mid alt performer. Almost same charachteristics as the Jug except for turning, Scissors well. And I use the 4X20mm option instead of 30mm. 30mm almost useless in a scissoring fight against fighters

For Yak9u (or P51 when range is needed)

For turnfighting : Typhoon Rulezzz ... lot of fun guaranted

in doubt : 100% Typh00n + 2* 1 K Bombs

Duedel · « **Reply #40 on:** February 18, 2002, 05:04:04 AM »

For turnfighting (about 180 degrees) 190A5
For B&Z (about 3 passes than lost all E advantage) 190A5
For base defense (cause its THE fun ride) 109F4
For bombing (cause its so great if you manage to get home) Ju88

I'd have to say the P-38. I've always had a fascination with the P-38 and is my favorite of all the WWII warbirds, so almost 9 years ago when I got the chance to "fly" one online, I jumped at the chance and never climbed out of the cockpit.

I like em all, well most anyway

G10 if I want to survive, F4UD, P47D25 or P38 if I want to get kills

My olde 190A8 has let me down lately

Thx for the tip on the MOSS Karnak, will try it out again soon.

Ripsnort · « **Reply #43 on:** February 18, 2002, 07:37:10 AM »

If I had to choose one, I'd choose the F4U-1D, it carrys 8 rockets, 2k of bombers, 6X50's.
