New tour: ONE plane for the tour
« Reply #1 on: February 12, 2003, 10:23:02 PM »
With such a large selection of fine planes to choose from, I really had to think hard about my choice.  Would it be blue?  Fast?  Slow?  German or Japanese?  Cannons or machine guns?  Would I want something that handles well while slow or something that handles well when fast?  Something with responsive flaps or requiring heavy use of manual trim?  How about fuel endurance and ordinance loads?  Could it take off from a carrier as well as a field?

After carefully weighing the alternatives, I've decided that the plane I will fly this tour shall be:  The Spit V

As usual, I'm flying a little bit of everything.

This tour, I think I'm coming back to the ways of of the Blue aircraft   CHOG[/b] .  Other than that, I've come to like the Ta152 and 190s again :)

Flying the Spit IX heavily this tour.:)  However it's anti-gv capability is pretty poor so i'm using the tiffie & mossie a bit too.

Sounds like a good plan.
I'm tempted between P38(been a while since I stayed high), 109G2 (but I already get to fly it often in the CT) or the LA5 (I shoot even worse than usual with that nose).. dunno yet, will have to decide prior to this week end.

Alll these three are my favourite LW rides, especialy the 38 (wink @ Curly)

Pssst, Lev... who'd have thought you'd have come up with that one ? :)

Began trying out the Dora, but it seems to restless that I tend to stray back to 109G-10 if I dont pay attention  :)

Naturally in G-2 when with squad mates.

DMF... I don't think the spit V is the right plane for you... You will probly just get killed a lot and be frustrated.    Perhaps you can wing with voss for a tour and learn something?

I think this map will last the tour... as such.... I switch between the FM2 for cv and defense and the yak and 51b for those endless flights to the enemy.   Rather find a fight suited to the FM2 fight tho..

lazs the Yaks kick butt. If I didn't love 109s and 190s from the tender age of 5...Yaks would be my favorite in AH hands down. When I get set up with an AH-capable comp., AH account, etc. (in the near future) I will look you up for some Yak flying.

wulfie... I am not very good in one plus... I can't hit anything that is right in front of me unless it is a friendly.... A distinct disadvantage in the yak.

I am flying the Spit V this tour as well, my lord a damn manueverable plane. Next I believe I will give the Yak a go, I have already done the 1D, F6F, FM-2, La-7, and P-51.

nothing :(

but I'd probably go for more of the Yak9T if I were going to pick one.

I need an AH films archive so I can watch some AH when i'm not playing it. Anyone got one of those?
