Plane choice. Why?
« Reply #75 on: May 03, 2003, 06:21:21 PM »
hmm... couple of non english speakers and well... jakal...

ack ack... what planes are on my approved list as you say?  I would say your approved list is much shorter than mine...you still haven't answered me and... I believe that vorticon was pointing out the irony of your post and sig.

jackal... yeah.. all ya gotta do is pull hard on the stick.. I'm sure you could beat anyone in an fm2 or spit 5 if ... well... if you tried.

moot... there are some d9 guys who ride the stall... there are LW guys who will fight... they are called.... the losers.

I don't have an approved list because I don't give a rat's bellybutton what someone flies.  But countless of your whines...err I mean posts are the opposite.  Your first reply to this thread ridiculed people for flying late war planes and in previous threads on this message board, you've whined...err posted the same thing.

And as for the 'irony' of my previous post to you and my signature, I'm sorry but you're barking up the wrong tree.  There is nothing 'ironic' or 'hypocritical' about me saying who cares what anyone else flies and having a quote from a retired WWII P-38 pilot saying that two of the best pilots that flew for the US in WWII flew P-38s.  After all, that quote is correct, both of the top US aces flew P-38s.

Spit 9 & 5 - cause they turn well

LA7 - cause it's fast

110G2 - cause it's great for ground attack

F6F - cause it's the only dive bomber I'm consistent in

P51 - cause the fuel is down to 25%

205 - cause it looks really kewl

190 or 109 - cause I'm tired of flying the others

p38 - cause hope springs eternal

buffs - (see above)

p47 - cause my wife didn't beat me enough

You'll find me in the P47D30 most often, then FW190A8,and the BF110G2.

Reason....love the challenge.  Gotta fly perfect to beat a superior plane in maneuverability and speed.  Could fly any of the better planes.......but the feeling of gratification using a so called inferior plane is worth it......along with the challenge.

I fly the 110 as a fighter as well as Jabo.

Lazs i think i beat you in any plane any time.
Flying one plane makes the player loser or winner? Says something about you.

moot... i don't have the faintest idea of what you just said.  Are you saying that you have beat me in every plane or that you could or ... that it doesn't matter?  you did claim that some planes are easy while insinuating that ones like the (LOL) dee 9 are difficult to master..   you appear to think that all you need to do is pull hard on the stick and spray at things from 1.3 in planes like the fm2 or spit 5

I still don't know what planes ack ack thinks are on my approved list.. all I did was explain how this thread would go.

jakal... we seen your stats... you really shouldn't try to tell us how easy planes that actually fight are to fly.  you really don't want to bump into one no matter what you are in.

Hi lazs,

Are you saying that you have beat me in every plane or that you could or ... that it doesn't matter?

I meant that I can probably beat you in any plane, and it doesn't matter. Probably more because I'm quicker than you than that I'm more experienced. It's the pilot that makes the plane work, not the plane that makes the pilot think.

you did claim that some planes are easy while insinuating that ones like the (LOL) dee 9 are difficult to master..

I said some planes are easy, and so did you. Just like you survive easily in the hard turns, I survive in the long fast sweeps, just like you die in long fast sweeps and BnZ snapshot plinks, I die in snail fights; there are only so many shortcuts to take to make up for inefficiencies. I understand that on a strictly 1:1 fight there will always be the advantage to just zoom out way easier than the general early war plane, but that doesn't mean I or anyone has to rely on that every time.   Will you say you'd rather be in a D9 when there is a Typhoon, a P51D, and a P38 taking 1/2BnZ 1/2TnB turns at you having only barely 275mph on the deck when it's time to evade and counter their shot, rather than say an FM2?

you appear to think that all you need to do is pull hard on the stick and spray at things from 1.3 in planes like the fm2 or spit 5

you don't kill things at 1.3 just like that, i just meant some planes have more potent reach than others, hence the difference in potent tactics.

So yes, all you need to do is pull harder without losing control(and this is obviously the hardest thing for most pilots), to follow what's not 100% of stall capacity maneuvers isn't a rock-paper-scissors type of thing, you're actually watching the other guy and can predict a bit or a lot what's going to happen next and then adjust where you want to be accordingly. The guy turns, you turn, he turns harder, you try harder to get the angle, one figure or another is all the same, trying to get faster or slower than him, one or two or ten steps later, either way. No brainer after a few tours, you might not have the experience to react instantly to new tactics, but the logic is there already.

One-upping the other guy with a better plane is as legal as one-upping him with better tactics. Bragging about beating him with an altogether lesser plane is as legit as about beating him with an altogether better plane that does worse what the lesser plane does better.

anyway, same owner same dog, same pilot same plane.

B-26: well those 5 (6 inculding gunner) nose moutned guns are not only good for ground attack. Plus it always leaves someone in awe to see a Marauder do a couple barrel rolls following a temp.

One would think for some one who is so hung up on the stats thingy you would eventualy learn how to read them. I would think that by looking at yours you wouldn`t want to bring any attention to them. Yours are all big ole zeros/zilch/nada with the exception of the instant grato mode, which is mediocre at best, considering how your doing it. I`m certainly not into your "You shoot me then I`ll shoot you" for lunch bunch.:D
  I`m in no need of playing arcade style such as you do. Makes one wonder what else you like to do real fast and be done so quickly. Guess we could ask your wife errrrr or boyfriend, which ever way you lean in that catagory.
  If you ever start playing the game you can enlighten us with your knowledge or lack thereof, but, as it stands now you don`t have a clue because you don`t participate in the game.

well.. moot... I knew there was someone out there that could beat me every time... looking forward to running into you.  would love to learn about that pulling hard stuff and those d 1.3 kills.   You must be really busy tho cause I've never seen or heard of you.

jakal... ur starting to go off again.   didn't they tell you at the anger management class that you should just accept your lack af ability and not get all angry about it?
