116 kill streak in P38? Bah! I got 37 in a 205
« on: January 07, 2002, 06:36:00 PM »
In tour 19 I decided to try the 205 just for the fun of it.  I had a 37 kill streak going in it and I became more confident in it with each kill. I have a screenshot to prove it...this is not modified (i have the film)  PERK THE 205!!!!    :D

(somehow I get the feeling that some certain individuals will now start flying the 205 to go for insane streak records...and somehow I feel like I will unwillingly contribute to that streak   ;) )

12 vs. 1  just before my streak ended  ( lol maybe a little too confident in the 205? )

P.S.  Note what planes the Bish fly    :eek:

I think the screenie is to prove his confidence, not his kill count.  ;)

Yeah exactly.  My kill streak actually happened over 3 days.  37 kills and no deaths...however a 37 kill streak in a single sortie without vulch kills would be cool...I'll have to try that   :cool:

You can DJ even in slower planes like the c205, Bf109G6 and FW190A5.  :)

Good boy ... mhhhhhhhhhh  ;) From TOD #21 stats of 4°Stormo Caccia "F.Baracca":

GATT has 160 kills and 20 deaths with the C.205
Zioo has 163 kills and 21 deaths with the C.205
"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown

wtg discod!

seeing how far you can go before dying is a lot of fun and a great diversion from the usual fly die fly die fly die routine. I like the challenge more than anything else. you dont have to fly conservative to be good at streaking. you just have to be able to fly very well when at a disadvantage and attempt to maintain an advantage or an exit when lots of trouble starts to shoot at you, like that pic you showed  :)

flying with a wingman helps extremely! I flew almost every sortie with kappa and often other members from our squad joined for a 3-4 ship flight.

I have a great film of me and dbltrubl on one of our first flights this tour dogfighting 2 190d9s that bounced us from above  :) we both were damaged but the 190d9s both died  :) flying with a wingman is very fun too especially if you both can read eachothers intentions etc without much effort.
Fester was my in game name until September 2013

I gotta start recording, Cit and Kappa tangle with an F6F at 20k plus would have been an interesting review.
Musta been my lucky day.

Be fair, Fishu. The main reason you can't run a streak in a 202 is the weak guns. You don't have enough time on target to pump sufficient 30 cal into the guy to kill him. Even the lowly 109F has much more punch than the 202.

The 205 is a great plane, here is a pic of me taking one through the VH upside down.

Read your post above- you asked why people didn't try to run a streak in the 202.
