Maybe I'll help it along by flying a Zero and a Yak for the rest of the week.

The plane's I most hate to see coming for me in the MA are the 109's.  No matter what I'm in, I feel at a disadvantage.  I think it's because most of the 109 pilits are very good.  Every now and again, you'll find a nwebie tooling around and face planting one not knowing or at least understanding the compression problems, but I usually come up against guys that can really make those planes dance.

But then again, I'm not very good, so it's probably not that hard for them.

N1K better than Zeke at low level turn fite, not hardly.

[JB73]

1. Typh's are prolly the most annoying because of their speed

2. N1k2's do things that aren't physcially possible

3. spit IX's combine N1k2's & typh's

all other planes in the MA pretty much can be cannon fodder for my 190

on a side note about the sucicide typh/p47/p51 raids:

why not make hangars 5K or more to kill... a bomber could take 1 out, but JABO pilots would be less willing to put their ord on a hangar knowing that somone else will get the credit for killing it.

make the "attack" of fighters limited to strategic targets at airfields and towns.

oh well my 2¢ to this whine

I have trouble with the 109s, because I never learned how to tell them apart at a glance.  When I come across a 109, I'm never sure if it's going to Energy fight, or turn on me, or what. I think this gives them an advantage against me in the opening moves of the fight.

It's not the planes we hate, its the numbers we dislike. Spit, niki,  la7 , ponies oh my. More people need to learn ACM rather than flying fast in straight lines.

[MANDOBLE]

Yak9U.

But you may add Spit/n1k2/La7 to the bag because we have a MA infested with zillions of them.

I hate flying P51s. They're average at everything. There are a few people that make a lie of my comment, but I can't fly P51s without making myself look more stupid than usual.

I absolutely detest:

(a) N1K2s.  I hate them.  I hate to fly them.  I hate to fly against them.  The N1k2 turns a good quality flight sim into a video arcade.  I laugh when I see "SoAndSo landed 6 kills in a N1K2."  They should be so proud.

(b) Typhoons.  I hate them.  I hate the way they always come in with rockets and pork fuel and vehicle hangars and generally make a nuisance of themselves.  They make base attacks a lop-sided affair moreso than they already are.  The offense in a strategy game always has the advantage and the Typhoon simply makes that advantage so much more pronounced.  I also hate the way so many Typhoon pilots simply run away from a fight if you can find one that's not over your head.

(c) LA-7s.  I hate them as offensive weapons.  Specifically, I hate the way pilots will bring an LA-7 to an enemy airbase behind a raid.  Don't they know that LA-7s are designed for intercepting incoming raids?  If someone is doing a base capture mission, some dope who didn't join the mission briefing will always bring along his little LA-7 because he's too much of a nancy boy to fly a real plane, like a heavy P-38, Me110, Mosquito, or P-47, and help prep the base for capture.   And you know he'll hang back and wait for the jabo guys to level the ack before he goes in for easy kills.  If you're going to simply try to stab some guy in the back, at least bring a plane that gives a level playing field to your opponent, like a 109.

For me, these 3 planes really reduce the playing quality of the game.

AHEM!!!!! you forgot the SPIT dweebs and the TAMPONS (tempests) to add in that list. heres why.

i hate spits like spit9 or 14 because it doesnt take alot of time to master those stuff.

tempest is too fast as the 262s but it takes hard work to un-perk that plane

1. Typhoon - Not the plane itself, but the way they are used. Seeing hoardes of Typhs flying around, thinking that they doing something 'organized', and then about half of them augering as they lob rockets and bombs in a suicidal fashion.. It makes me wanna puke.

2. N1K2 - Hate those four cannons and 900 rounds of ammo. Hate them because they are so predictable, and hate them for constantly reminding me of how some planes can hit at 500~800 yards distances and knock out a vital part.

hate La7s-never fly them

did you get any kills on me?

[icemaw]

Any plane on my 6 I really hate them and of coarse and a hole out there that does every thing he can to get a face shot on you even when you are doing everything you can to avoid it.

 Hint to newbies the object is to try and get behind the plane your trying to kill and shoot from there. Not try to get infront of the plane and shoot headon with a ram thrown in for good measure and both plane spiral down in flames.

 One last time newbies the object is to get behind your enemy and shoot him down and you fly away undamaged. Not get infront shoot him in the face and crash into him so both die.

 Just my opinion YOU could be wrong then again maybe I am right.

[RightF00T]

Any plane banking away from my tail 100yds away leaving me sitting there cringing just waiting for my tail to CRACK! off after the lag.  

[Karnak]

gofaster, go yourself.

The Japanese have one fighter that is concurent with the MA speed demons and we'll use it because we have to.  Frankly we prefer the A6M5b, but it simply has too many shortcomings when fighting P-51s and Fw190D-9s.

Take your sactimonious attitude and stuff it.
