So there you are. . . approaching the biggest furball you have seen in weeks. The numbers are even the fight is below you.

The cons of the planes start popping up as they come into range. An La7, a few P51s, a bunch of spits, hurricanes, niks and zeros - even a P38. Then you see the 190s and 109s. Then a typhoon, a 205, and some USN Blue steel. Just about everything has come to the party.

You tighten up the grip on your stick and then make your decision... Sure they all must die, but..

Who dies first?

For me . . its gunna be the tiffy. I have a real affinity to those 4 20s landing that first snapshot and ending a would-be great furball for me all too quickly.

He's mine.

The one with the most alt. Then the n1ks. I have to say I enjoy popping 109s a great deal but I prefer to draw those fights out and savour the kill

If I could only kill one type of airplane it would be 109s.

Whoever has the most E, or is in a position to gain E on me the soonest as I dive in. After that, If I'm in a turnfighter, then the best turnfighter. If I'm in an e fighter, the best e fighter that can out turn me at a similar e state or out accelerate me at a similar e state. Or the target that I can get a good 6 o'clock saddle without being dragged too deep into the enemy side of the furball, if one exists.

First is whoever shows me thier 6. Failing that any nik or la7 I see. After them if I have a choice it will be any spit I see. By then my B&Z plane has flown tru furball and I am getting alt to come back and start all over again. Oh and on the zoom I look for any B&Z planes trying to leave the party. Ok now yous cant leave.

I would pick them off based on E and alt. I would track the La7 most aggressively and watch for any hard climbing 109s.

For a money shot take a swipe at the big P38 truck and ignore the willey yaks until they become a threat...

I look for LA-7's entering the fight too slow and P-38's that are going vertical.

All else being equal:

1) La7 - because they are the ones who can run me down, and I hate La7 drivers
2) NiK1 - because I hate Nik drivers (even though I take one occasionally)
3) Spits - because I hate spit drivers
4) P51 - because I hate pony drivers

5) everything else in no particular order (and usually because there are so few of them compared to the above listed planes)

P-51D... or I just blow on past all of it and get that IL-2 that is rolling on the runway.

Id kill the cons that are chasing that 1 friendly... Those are the easiest..
