Well, I like the Niki o.k., but I really only fly it about 5-10% of the time, mostly for base defense missions. Nice cannon load so you can try deflection shots a lot.
But, it's a bit slow, and not really a good Jabo for the primary squad missions: usually base captures. Tiffies, 110's and heavy p-51's.
40DogMAW, the C.O. used to fly Niki's a lot. He seems to like 190's these days.
I like the F4Us a lot, they are the classic Marine bird, and they can turn fight better than you'd think..
I think I'm like most guys, I like to switch planes a lot but get periodic favorites....currently the SpitIX and Seafire.
to all! A great group of pilots and opponents.
