Tempest.

then bkhawk would complain "Ki-61 can't catch my 550mph temp. He's cheating".

dosent matter to me, just what ever I get in range with is who I go for,but given a choice I would take out the bule planes first.

I generally go after the 109's first.

i would try the biggest targets first

FW and LA 7 gonna run and dive anyway

what karnak said mossie and p38 will be easiest to hit and wil cost u not that much energy.
There is is a bigger chance of one pas hit.

but first i have to send those fw and la dweebs to deck before they gonna cherry pick me. I cannot allow them to be level with me.

N1K always dies first and then LA7 second unless a known score potato is in the area then I find them first.

I'd go for the E based plane with the highest energy state, which is not necessarily the one with the most alt. In a nice furball like you've described, you can set up on 3 or 4 options as you enter the fray. If my first choice evades, I conserve E by not moving aggressively to get him... move on to the next progression in my target list. Kind of like a quarterback surveying the field, the first choice may not give you what you want, but chances are that at least one of your choices will. Prepare for the assorted accusations you see people spewing at me on ch1.
"You are nothing but a cherry picker." "Pony dweeb!" "You suck Steve, you can't 1v1 at all!" Let's go to the DA, I'll kick your arse!."
Rinse and repeat

I would first write a powerful and moving letter home about honour and duty. I would open my canopy and tearfully fling it to the winds, wrapped in a plum blossom and addressed to fate.

Then I would go in and die immediately because this A6M2 is made of frickin rice-paper and attracts every head-on and snapshot possible.

The Collector <-- sucker for the zeke, dies often

The Zero was constructed of a lightweight aluminum alloy named "Extra-Super Duraluminum" (ESD), with the exception of fabric covered rudder and elevators. The aircraft's lightweight construction helped it achieve the performance goals specified by the IJN. However, the severe limits on weight ensured that the new fighter also lacked armor and self-sealing fuel tanks.

Its really subjective to what the situation is...but a good way to respond is I like to kill all the German iron first..A juicy BF110 is a bonus!!

Wisdom...the only real answer....

I'm curious bout the tiffie being 1st under any circumstances...it's a great ride...low and fast...if your the highest plane in FB it's no danger at all. All in all I'd be worried most bout the 205. Not because of the plane but the pilot. A 205 has a way of racking up the lumber under those conditions...not many will arget it and it's got nice evasive capabilities. Often it canhang in the middle top of the FB for a while...you go a couple turns to many and all of a sudden it's on your prettythang. F6 and Jug also come to mind....usually you know how the la7's, spits, 38's etc will play the game....it's the ones you discount that provide the free alterations to the air frame.
