The Spoits are real handy when you are busy at home.  You can do laundry, or catch up on email, and get plenty of kills without paying too much attention.

LOL...

I have been up defending a CV or a base and spotted lazs in amongst the action.  Inevitably I am shot down four or five times before I see "Lazs has landed XX kills in an FM2".  Sometimes I think he has an 'invisible' button in his plane...'cause I'm in the same furball as him and he almost always makes it home.

I will subscribe to play in the MA tonight, when I get back from work, if I'm not too tired, and probably will be flying 109G10 with 30mm in the hub and 2 extra 20mms slung under the wing.

I can't limit myself to one plane...

Different situations call fer different rides for me anyways.

If there's a fairly even furball not far from a friendly base I'll drive the hurriC

If there's a furball over an enemy base, I'll drive a Typhoon, with possibly ord, if the plan is to take the base.

If there's an attack underway where furballing is not a concern I take a Hvy jug.(D25)

If there's a furball with our side greatly outnumbered I might hop in the 262.

Most of my fighter kills this tour have been in the typh and hurriC

SpitIX isn't bad at killing GV's if you load ord..

I did most of last tour in the C.205 and developed quite a love for that plane.  

This coming tour I've already settled onthe 109G10.  I'm curious if I can go an entire tour without a death and still manage 60+ kills.  Granted with my poor ACM skills it will no doubt be by running away from every plane that doesn't seem to have an AFK pilot...

I fly just about everything to some degree. But generally, I stick to the planes of the "Big Blue Blanket", mostly the FM-2 and F6F. However, I use the Yak-9U, Zekes, N1K2 and 109s some as well.
This tour I will fly the P-47 quite a bit as it is the Squad plane for February (along with the Typhoon).

In the CT, where I spend about 2/3rds of my time, I have been flying the 109s and Yaks. Both types promote good gunnery skills.

If I had to pick a single aircraft to fly exclusively, it would be the F6F-5. It does everything well.

both narsus and mother sacrafice themselves so that I might get a kill once in a great while... It is a charity kind of thing that the BK's do for us older and slower witted squadmates whose reactions, sight and hearing are allmost gone.    Because of them I got 3 or 4 kills this tour.

This month I'm liking the FW190A-8 and Ta-152.  Still like the La-5 and some of the Bf109G6 action.

Exclusive, I'd prefer the 152.

I think I'll try out the P-38 this tour.  I heard it's a pretty good plane.
