A Dangerous Aircraft!
« Reply #30 on: September 15, 2000, 03:18:00 PM »
Well, today marked the combat debut of Spoons in a Yak.

Kills: 0
Deaths: 2  (1 to flak while I was typing)

   

Love a lot of the performance of it, but the damned icon flicker is killing me.  With the big metal square in front, and the regular cockpit metal, I seem to always lose sight of the bandit, especially when he's lower than I and profiled against the ground.  Doesn't help that I can't get padlock to work for some reason (that's another story I think).

Any thoughts or suggestions?

tour 6-

ammo has 47 kills and has been killed 26 times in the Yak-9U against all countries.


darn near 2-1. I really enjoyed the yak but havent flown it much lately. Cobra and I seemed to "find" each other and we would both be yaks. Man we had  some good fights!!!
