D9 invincivility / eficiency in MA

I'll try to help you out. Take a look at your stats for Tour 23.

Total time in fighters: 37:51:54
Total time in fighters (s): 136314
Total kills in fighters: 203
Kills / Time (s) = 0.001489208738647534369177047 11181537

Round up the ten-thousandths, and you get .0015, as it shows up in the stats. Congradulations, I believe this places you in the coveted "sky accountant" category.     Oh, the irony...

To keep this post slightly on topic - I think the idea that any Spit we have now will ever need to be perked is rediculous.

The 109 I flew last night, with it's mandated leather thong was apparently too tight and I popped a rivet. Please, enlighten me to this irony.

Oh wait, you mean you really do listen to lazs? Now there is irony for ya.

Apache, agree partially with you. There are no statistic that gives us a definitive idea of how dangerous a plane is. IMO, K/D gives you only an idea of how a pilot drives its plane (safety mode or not), but K/T is a much compensated factor, it is telling to you, at least, that killing with that plane is easy, and that, obviously, means that that plane is dangerous.

Kieran, agree, 262 is far more dangerous than any spit. And I'm sure that, if not perked, it would be one of the most used fighters.

In the other hand, D9 is not perked and is not popular. Why? Because average pilots will get little success in it. And due average pilots are the "mass" of our population, that means than D9, in our MA, is less dangerous than a Spit. That "mass" is far more successful flying spits.

Ok Mandoble, I think I see what you're saying. It's not "the" spit thats dangerous, but "those" spits that are dangerous. That right?

So what would perking the spit accomplish? It would simply be...it's not "the" la7 that is dangerous but "those" la7's that are dangerous, would it not?

[MANDOBLE]

Lets suppose that we had a system that add ONE perk point to the base perk of the five more used planes the day after.
Will that help to diversify the planes the people fly?
Will this affect severily the people that want to keep flying spits, n1kj2s and La7s over'n over?
Using one perk to fly a plane does kill that plane in the game and ruin the comunity fun?

Apache, IMO, an spit flown by an average pilot is more dangerous than a D9 flown by the same pilot.

I understand your point but I don't agree with your agenda.

I too enjoy fighting 109's, 190's, P47's and the like much more than the spits and n1ks. However, I am against any rule that limits the choice of others, and benefits only me and my ilk.

Apache, IMO, an spit flown by an average pilot is more dangerous than a D9 flown by the same pilot.

That I agree with...to a point. Up until said pilot has experience in the D9, then he's just as dangerous, if not more so. D9 in itself is the more outstanding performer of the 2 a/c, yes?

I can't believe that so many are choosing to argue with someone stupid enough to try to claim the spit IX should be perked, and the La-7 should be perked while also trying to argue that the Ta152 should not be perked and the Me252 should be much cheaper (because it isn't really that good against fighters).

Sheesh... let him go guys.  He pretty much kills the argument all on his own.

Nothing more satisfying than killing a SpitIX as it zooms up to you in your 109G2 while you proceed to rope-a-dope it.

If the SpitIX is too lethal to you, you should trade in your leather thong for a pair of sissy white tights and take up ballet instead of playing air combat games.

The irony as I saw it was lazs intended use of "sky accountant" for P51/190D9/people with K/T below .0045 or whatever, and it ended up including his own squaddie (and he apparently didn't even know it).

 

Oh wait, you mean you really do listen to lazs? Now there is irony for ya.

If by "listen to lazs", you mean "Reinforce reasons for not taking drugs", ok. You're close - but the real irony would be if I took him seriously (I don't).

[MANDOBLE]

AKDejaVu, you are not the more indicated one to talk about the people stupidity. In fact, I'm absolutely sure you were, are and will be unable to get to any of my points. And no, this time its not my english.

[Apache]

people with K/T below .0045 or whatever, and it ended up including his own squaddie (and he apparently didn't even know it).

You think thats what he means by "sky accountant"? lol...lol...roflmao.

[OrcA]

me he perdido algo?  

oORKAo

PD: solo se una cosa, el mejor... el spit muerto

[AKDejaVu]

In fact, I'm absolutely sure you were, are and will be unable to get to any of my points.

You are correct.  And with more points like "The Me262 will not do that well against fighters", I will continue to fail to get any of your points.

and with that... I leave you to wallow in your self induced misery.

Jaja, no Orka, estas a tiempo de entrar a saco.

Djvu, If I have to choice between keep into "myself inducted misery" or an ocean of your wisdom ... No decission could be easier

This is getting diddlying retarded, Spits suck and so do most of their pilots, they are easy to kill. LA5 (not retard flown LA7), Yak9U, c205, and P47 are much more dangerous because they are often flown by skilled pilots.

Its diddlying shsmeful this is almost a 250 post thread, yes 250 as in 1000/4 or one quarter of 1000 posts.

Eeryone shut up and go away this is retarded.
