Author Topic: Some way to limit Nikis in MA? (Read 1082 times)

just got out, bout 80 people online. I know there is the CT, although I prefer to fly with more then 2 other people. CT is OK during Euro evenings and nights but during day nobody is in it.

So, went into MA, took some screen of a fight, saw a 109, 2 spits and 7 N1K2's, nikis are ok, can be beaten with the right tactics but no fun to see like 80% N1K2 and spits in the arena, the rest of the 50 plane types are the 20% left. Takes the fun out of flying there.

No way to limit N1K2 use? Maybe Limit them to Large fields, or only small fields, or whatever, something.

"Some way to limit Nikis in MA?"

Easy answer. Yes. By shooting them down.

Am in the CT most of the time, not when there are very few people in there AND we will eventually get the niki in there too.

Allso, you can't shoot down 50 out of 60 enemies without reloading.

Hehe, I know the feeling, I have a few pics of entire furballs being nothing but n1ks.

Needless it is to say, if im lower than them, and they coming for me, I bail out b4 giving the tards a proximity kill.

Spits are much more common than n1kjs actually.

I like to call this piece "A Typical Engagement in the MA."

Dunno why the plane is not perked, should be at least 5 or 6 perk points just like the f4u-1c. The plane definatley unbalances any fight. You can be furballing with 3 enemy and holding your own , then spot a n1k comming in; you have to break off and get the hell out of dodge if you want to stay alive.

Perk em or do what I originally suggested, make em available only to pilots who rank below 1000 so only the pilots who actually need training wheels could get them.

Sure I know some real good pilots would rank poorly for various reasons, but not many of em, and that is ok.

I've found that the best way to limit a plane's usage in the MA is to come here and complain about how uber and unbeatable it is. Yep.. that works best. Nobody wants to fly an uber plane afterall.

You guys are sooo on the right track.

Good point

FWIW when I flew the MA (and whenever I still do as I like flying with my squaddies) I purposely HO every N1K2 (Spit and La7 often also) driver I see. Just doing my part to give them a persecution complex.

Don't think anyone has a problem with spits, I hope not anyway, lets face it, they served in every combat zone from 1940 to 1945. I would fly spits if they were not so damn slow

Ohhhhh, good idea tac!

Allso, I consider it a rule of engagement, that once a Niki is down, the pilot's chute must be strafed with all guns and means possible.

Shouldn't have to though, perk it cheap like a F4u C.

Atleast spit doesn't catch a Dora or a Pony in a dive starting CO E.

I think the first problem we need to address is limiting whiners on the BBS.

I am not seeing that many Niks in the MA, and if you are dieing to them, its probably your own fault.

OH....here it goes again...Perk this...Perk that....

Of coarse another option is shut-up & fly

Heh, I pioneered that tatctic; No N1k chutes make it to the ground alive when I am around.

CC ramjgr, I also do it.
