moot...  You are "quicker" than me?   How would you know that?   More experianced?   you must go under another handle because you don't seem to have any experiance at all under "moot"...  

now if your real handle is drex.... then maybe you have a point.

hey GS i think laz is ignoring you :eek:


for me:

FW 190-d9. it is by far the prettiest plane here. the lines are mean yet soothing. it's built to fight A2A, thats it. zooming in on bombers is the biggest thrill i get in AH. i'm just depressed that people dont fly them as often. (Rod367th i have killed your b17's and lived... not sure if all 3 but maybe). oh well back to topic.

why the FW190-d9? well im not truly sure. when i first came to AH a year and 4 months ago i had ZERO knowledge of WWII air war. hell i had never flown a flight sim either. my friend and work colleuge got me into this... and i started reading. he ran an LW squad and i joined. i admit the first time i flew the dora i hated it. it would stall out and flop over if you turned on auto-pilot @ 20k.:mad: then after being chased down in my g10 by la7s and typh's too much i upgraded.:cool:

the dora can do it all, it just takes practice and patience. i have seen some 190 jocks do things that a spit couldn't follow. i just want to be the best dora pilot i can be. in the ranks of MANDOBOLE. :D

every now and again you will see me in a 110 for killing CV planes and vehicle hangars.

oh well my 2¢

well, I haven't seen Lazs but once or twice myself, in a blue plane in the middle of a low and slow furball, but that was once or twice so it might have been a delusion, furballing is a myth anyway.

I said the 1.3 analogy is exagerated for the point, but you stick to trolling if that's what you're after.

muut is the user name you'll find my crappy little unpolished stats at, since it matters.

well moot or muut or whatever... you did make a bunch of statements about the palnes that took little talent and could kill at 1.3 ...

I notice that you like dee 9 and GV's... and killing them in Il2.. your stats look good but Ifail to see anything that would make me think you ar4e invincible in any plane you choose... I have killed guys with better stats.   You are probly not as special as you think...

My plane choice
« Reply #97 on: May 06, 2003, 09:38:01 AM »
For the MA I now am in love with the 109 E-4.  It used to be the F4 cause up close it looked like any other 109 but JB42, talked it up and stated that only 20% would recognise that yellow nose.  Well After downing 2 (TWO) NIK1's with the  E-4, I have now fallen in love with the plane.  For CV work I love the FM-2 for attacking ground targets, and the A6M2 for CV defence.

EDIT:

And I bet Laz2 is creaming his panties cause someone is flying "his" kinds of planes, the "correct and only" planes to fly.  Frankly I don't give a avian rodents hindquarters.:rolleyes:   I attempted to BnZ early in my carreer.  I read the tactics manuals and determined that it was the simplest tactic to learn and did well with it in earlier games like RB3D, loved the Fokker D VIII.  In this game, with those tactics, a lot more bullets hit the ground more than the plane I was shooting at.  So I swiched tactics and went for the angles, and got shot down even more than "extending".  Right now I'm climbing out of the learning curve hole.  I still suck, probably will for a long time to come.  I am getting better.

now my hit% is climbing cause I am following this simple Dicta

"If you think you are close, get closer"

P-38.

Always.

'Cause its the one plane that can E-fight the turnplanes and can turnfight the Energy planes.

Its the sexiest plane in the set.

It has gotten me called "CHEATER!" more times than any other plane.

Counter rotating props. A hammerhead executed with prop control is a thing to behold. Many a times a n1k or spitdweeb pilot has squealed "cheater" as my 38 hung on prop at 10mph and did the babylon-5 like 180 turn (sideways so they only saw my side or rear flat profile) and blasted their noggin's with quad 50 cals. Woot woot!

Its an excellent plane down low and even better way up in the bozosphere. P47s and Ta152s tread carefully around a 37k P38 that knows how to use them fowlers!.

Climb speed, acceleration!

AND ITS PORKED BABY! :D :D

well, laz or lazs2 or whatever, I notice that you don't compute exagerated analogies very well... you can kill at "1.3", I didn't say you don't need talent for long kill streaks in some planes. I meant given the talent we do have already, the planes don't fit in two black and white "easy" "hard" categories.

Nothing impressive about the stats these last two or three tours because I'm not trying hard. No guarantee I beat you everytime but maybe if i try hard enough. I'm probably as special as i think, enough to think 50 million paragraphs are worth typing if it baits someone better than every other dueling bozo out there.
yadda yadda I'll fly near cvs more often.

Better make it close...........real close even. That`s where you will find this afore mentioned special breed of the protectors of the naval scrap yard. They will be polishing their nails by the light of the mast and warming their buns by the radiant heat of the bursting AA, silk scarves billowing behind them. :D  It`s a moving, nonstop, mutifaceted ack field. What more could one ask for?  Why looky yonder Jethro, it`s proxie kill heaven.  :)

blackcross... you would lose your bet.   I don't care what you fly but... nice to run into planes that will fight.

muut... I think you have an inflated opinion of your skill.   Most guys here don't really "try too hard"... nothing special about you...  Heck... I got killed a half dozen or so times in a row the last few tours cause I was so bored I took off from capped fields... die'in was better than flying around doing nothing  like jakal...  I would not be in the least surprised if you managed to kill me a few times in the arena... If it was a good fite I might even say "good fite"..  been known to do that.   If i killed you and you didn't do anything worthwhile I would probly not even notice.

As for flying near CV's... yeah.. I do it... I do it either way.. If the enemy has a CV out there close to the field then I fly from the field... If we have the CV close to a field I fly from the CV.  poor jakal...  afraid of crowds.

gs..  I used to fly the -1a allmost exclussively but the last few tours I have flown the FM2.. I will fly yaks or 51B or even the IL2 or A20...  Have flown most but don't like the LW planes as they are too restrictive and don't suit the way I like to fly.

roflmao Dayaaaaaaaam this cheese bait works good. One little pinch and it drew you like a fly to a cow patty. A pound of this stuff will last all year.
  Crowds? The only crowd your ever around bud is the sister squad with "Butt Sniffing" mode engaged.
  Thought you might finaly come outa the closet and give it up. :D

Lizard  Next tour I'm going to try your way fly every plane for 1 sortie. and fighters until 1 kill. Sounds ike that could be real fun.





 Gshotz only FESTER has attacked my bombers at 32k and shot down all 3 and lived. Most usally don't even smoke engine........

My new rule find what side fester is on before bombing :)
