What gives you the greatest enjoyment when you destroy it?

[dfl8rms]

Taking out formations of bombers, especially B17's that are low and slow and concentrating on bombing my base.  Take up a 109 or 190 and slicing back and forth across the formation until they go boom.

Other item is the 1 v 1 match ups that turn into extended fights.  After spending 5 minutes twisting, turning, extending, scissoring, etc. -- doesn't matter who wins.  It was the fight that was fun.  Usually I learn something new.  That's the fun part -- learning something new about an aircraft you thought you new.

Yikes, you guys are more mature than I thought you all were

I just answered honestly, I don't think that's immature, hedonistic maybe .

I have enjoyed shooting down ( on a rare occasion when I meet them) a 57th or 412th squad member, because if you can kill one and survive you know you've killed a good pilot and defeated their good teamwork/wingman tactics.

And they always seem to be polite and give a thinking about it maybe thats just cause they killed me again

But I also love killing buff formations as I know the poor guy has just spent ages getting alt, he he he

The most satisfying kill comes from engaging in a good 1v1 fight with some of the really good sticks and being the one flying back home, instead of riding the silk.

My second favorite has to be bombers.  Especially flying into and through LOTS of bombers.  2, 3, even 4 formations of bombers.  The more the merrier.  Just looking at that insane wall of lead being directed towards my poor little P51-B...

Killing any plane that is in a heavily defended area...such as a cv or airfield.

I guess basically, any fight where the odds are crazily against me that I am able to fly away from as victor.

[Seeker]

Any LW plane

Any 13 TAS.

Since chutes are already taken, I'll say squad members.

I most enjoy killing blue planes for some reason. F6F's and F4U's are at the top of the list. Pony D's are up there at the top too. Spitfires are always fun. I like getting into a knife fight with an LA7 on the deck and working my way around and killing him.

Just mark me down for liking to kill allied planes. Dunno why, I'm no axis sympathizer or anything. It seems people with simple personalities tend to fly allied. Shattering their "War Hero" dream with a well placed tater just brings a good giggle from me.

What do you gentlemen (and ladies) get the best feeling from killing?

Yes, I engage those three with much zest and gusto, particularly if the Spitfire is the Spitfire Mk IX model (I've learned to tell the differences by the camo colorings).  I've been flying the Spitfire V lately and have learned to enjoy the killing of N1K2s and Spitfire IXs in it, and it brings along a nice perk bounty reward for doing so.  Other than ship and field gunners, the Spitfire IX is the leading cause of my demise this tour.  With a bit of alt for diving speed, my Spitfire V can tangle with La-7s if the La-7 pilot lets his speed drop down too far.

Last night I was monkeying around in a Spitfire V down low in a valley and had the pleasure of watching first an LA-7 and then a P-51D smack headfirst into a mountain when they tried to bounce me.  I love those "watch out for that tree" kills.

I also flew an La-7 a couple of times just to see what it could do, and it was a lot of fun running down Mustangs and Typhoons that were on jabo raids of my base.  I selected the armament that comes with 3 guns instead of 2, even though the ammo load per gun was smaller, and bagged 3 kills before having to retire to my base with low ammo counts.  But - just a few squirts are enough to knock down most fighters so the low ammo load is offset by the punch-per-shell.  Unlike the Spitfire V's .303 bullets, which pack a punch equal to an insect bite, the La-7's shells can really mess up an enemy aircraft.

I always aim for La7's first then of course niki's and spits about equally, mostly due to the high likelihood of a fragile ego in those cockpits

[Wlfgng]

favs:

#1 - the guy that bounced my six from a huge height adavantage (especially tasty when in a group)

#2 - the tard that tries to drag me to ack or a group of friendlies after having been bested.  I.E.  the guy from #1, after losing advantage and missing the shot, runs to momma's skirt.  I love seeing those guys explode.

#3 - whiners

#4 - perk planes

Ostwinds

Seems most of the guys I encounter who drive these are damn good shots.  I can't tell you how many times I've manned an Ostwind and watched guys fly thru unscaathed at the stuff I throw up there  

I really enjoy going after them in the A8, with bombs n rockets, and if I still havent killed em, and Im still alive, trying to light them up with the 30mm.

I'd try with the IL-2, but it seems I always loose my tail even from a head on hit.  If that bird is armored, Ill be darned if I know where.  Lots of tail-less crashes....??  

Panzers are fun too, especially if you get someone who is really good with the machine gun spot.  

I really admire the GV guys.  I get so focused on them, most of the perks I give them is from me stalling-spinning or mashing into a tree  

[MrLars]

1) Any 1v1 fighter kill.

2) When RTBing in a Hellcat with less than 100 rounds left and I reverse and kill the La7 running me down.

[T0J0]

German planes I like destroying.... My skin crawls sometimes when I see an nme flying one...usually it means they going to HO me... more times than not...

  Watch what ya chase.Ya just might catch it

[Nifty]

The guy who's saddled up on a friendly's six.  Best part is getting the "thanks Nifty!" from the countrymate on range channel, or squaddie on the squad channel.
