Nice work Mini D.

Interesting that the most popular fighters can only manage approx. 1:1 k/d ftr vs ftr.  Even more so that the P51D is only 0.891.

Gotta love those newbies flying the most capable planes and still getting blown away... :D

lol...I like where the F4U-1's K/D is at, 7th among the non-perked crowd. I'd like to think I contributed just a smidge :D

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

look at how the 190D9 handles the varios Hogs.
F4U-1 116 87 1.318    
F4U-1C 99 126 0.780    
F4U-1D 539 251 2.139    
F4U-4 15 5 2.500

against the hog 4 it is 3 to 1...
The Hog 4 is in positive kill to death against nearly every other plane. and nearly 3 to 1 vs the La7.

1 to 3 vs the 190d9 3 to 1 vs the La7...

 I know that the D9 is a very capable plane but clearly. Good sticks are flying it.(sorry for the damage I do to its stats.)

AGJV44 went 346 and 19 in the 190d9

xiii went 197 and 30

tartew went 128 and 25

This is from 1 squad. The rest of their squad had lots of d9 kills as well. Im not sure but the of the 13518 d9 kills they probrable got a decent percentage (maybe 1% +)of those d9 kills. We were all in the same squad when the d9 came to ah and flew it as a "squad" plane since day 1. AG has more hours in the d9 then most have in ah overall.

Plus theres plenty of other decent pilots that fly it.

I gave up on 190s for the most part and decided to fly the g6 primarily. Its completely different then 190s or 109g10. Any plane can run from you. When I fly it I am amost have to trick folks into fighting. It seems as soon as you point your nose at umm they would dive awayand extend, thinking you were a g10. I got to the point of flying at 14k and "tricking" a bad guy into attacking me. Its still pretty fun.

But the hog is a decent plane and it flies more jabo then a 190d9 so its k/d would be lower. As for a comparison between the d9 and hog I would take a d9 anyday.

But the hog isnt that bad. I flew 1 sortie in it and got 6 kills. I never fly that plane or any blue planes really. I just dont like the way the rudder feels. On lw planes you can slap the rudder around.

I never had any real dislike for the la7 its beatable, I try to fight um slow as they handle poorly at lo speed.

Spit 9s are bit more difficult depending on the situation. They, like nikis, love to get roped.

The p51 has been the most killed plane in ah for the longest time. Combine its jabo work and inexperienced pilots and you can see why. But in the hands of an expert theres nothing better.

What I find interesting is that with a quick look over the stats of the F4U-1 vs. all aircraft. Only a handful of the other planes have a more kills of the F4U-1 than everything else. A few were close by 1-5 from being even with the F4U-1 and my look does not include any GV's. Against other F4U-1's it is even with 23 kills and 23 deaths.


Bf 109G-10 81 87 0.920    
Bf 109G-2 13 20 0.619
Bf 110C-4b 5 6 0.714
F4U-1C 32 35 0.889
Fw 190D-9 87 116 0.744
La-5FN 44 54 0.800
P-40E 3 6 0.429
Spitfire Mk XIV 2 5 0.333
Ta 152H 6 23 0.250
Tempest 3 15 0.188

Thanks for posting those stats.  Now I won't feel so guilty flying the P-51D for dogfighting, knowing that its K/D is so much worse than most of the LW planes.

Most newbs ride the 51 and i see a ton of them upping at vulched fields otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if it had a much higher K/D.  Very fun ride.
