Do you fly 1 plane 99% of the time?
« on: July 15, 2002, 06:02:27 PM »
just wondering...
i guess im still considered new to flight sim games (never flew before feb. this year, and im sure it shows:D)
but for the forseeable(is that a word?) future i intend on flying only 1 plane. the FW190-d9. the reason for this is two fold... i want to become the best Dora pilot there can be, and from the books i have read it truly is a magnificant airplane.
yes my stats for the tour show a few other rides (im not including GV's into this discussion). the 110 for jabo on GV's and towns and vehicle hangars. the new a6m and f4f just to see what they could do, and goon for base capture.
but back to the question at hand.

how many of you fly only 1 plane almost exclusively?

what is it?

and why that plane?

thanks in advance... im just looking for some insight into other pilots train of thought so i can kill you all better:D

My Spit usually gets shot down very quickly, but then I just go grab another one!

Well JB73 i can give you input.

I Fly the P51 Stang all the time in MA, in different arenas such as in duels i like to get away from P51 and fly much less complicated planes.  I fly the P51 99.95% in MA.  Since ACM is used with every plane no matter what plane it is.

I fly the P51 because i like the way i can judge the way i want to fight and who i want to fight.  I will try to fight planes that i know i have a good chance of killing.  I try not to stick around if i see he got more friends coming around.  Since ive seen this happen to me since i was a noob.  I also like the p51 cause i can chase people down easier.  If i fly a spit in MA i fight them CO ALT and they start running from me, and then all that for nothing but i know i have a good chance catching them in a P51.

Hoped I showed ya some insight Now Come Find Me in MA and KILL ME!

:)   Good Luck!

I spend about 75% of my flight time in the following 5:

109F
A6M5
C-Hog
Tiffy
Il-2

And I spend about 20% of my flight time in these:

109G-2
262
B-17
Lanc
Temp
190-A8
190D-9
Spits (all)
109E
P-38
P-47s

The other 5% of the time I try out new rides.

So I guess...

No

Lotsa time in the 1-D, second choice 51D.

When I was new to sims, I'd pick a plane and fly it for the tour. You get experience in quite a few, learn what they can do, and can't. A little of everything, Spits, 109's, 190's, P40's, zekes etc.

Then apply what you've learned to your ride of choice. You then have a handle on what the other plane can do, and more importantly, what it can't vs. your ride of choice.

I got hooked on 190's for a couple of years :D

I don'y fly any 1 plane 99% but i do fly the RAF planeset 99% of the time.   Although saying that i've been flying the spit a lot this tour, mostly V but IX aswell.

If i'm flying anything else it's usually just a 1 off for a mission.

50% of the time you'll find me in:

P51B
Either Yak
190A-8
Dora
Spit5
110
Zeke

40% of the time in buffs

10% of the time trying other stuff.

I try and fly them all, usually end up forgetting my monthly 202 ration.  I lean towards the P-40/Wildcat/FM2 since we got them.  Overall since I began my AH career I've probably spent most of my time in F4U's/Jug's/P51s.  All the bombers are fun.

Bad LoGo, bad!!!!

I don't fly much, but my kills (which is a rough indicator of usage) is like this:

Mosquito Mk VI:  11
A6M2: 3
Bf109G-2: 2
M-16: 2
Spitfire Mk IX: 2
Il-2: 1
Ki-67: 1
Spitfire Mk XIV: 1

I have been killed three times in the P-51B without scoring a kill.
I have flown a B-17G and a Lancaster Mk III sortie without scoring a kill (or a death) in either.
