Author Topic: Choice of targets. Why? (Read 695 times)

Baine · « **on:** May 05, 2003, 09:57:04 AM »

I find there are some plane models in this game that I simply must drop everything and attack. I was wondering if there was anyone else out there like me.
In my case it's Japanese planes _ both Zero models and, when I'm lucky enough to come across them in the MA, Kates and Vals. If I see one, I drop everything I'm doing and zoom in for a shot, no matter how suicidal. I can't help myself.
Maybe it was 'cause I reread Walter Lord's "Incredible Victory" too many times when I was a kid, but I can't pass up early war planes with rising suns on their wings. For some reason, the N1k1 doesn't have the same effect. Maybe it's cause I never knew the plane existed until I started playing flight sims.
Anyone else out there got a thing for a particular target?

Yep..me too. I leave GVs and PT boats to others.

It's one reason I will never have a great rank in AH...I see an enemy plane and if I'm higher I'm on it. Even if I'm in a bomber on my way home, I'll dive on a fighter and man the guns.

It depends on what I am flying at the time. If I am in a Navy ride then aircraft with the big meatballs are what I go after with a vengenance. If I am in a IJ ride then the opposite is true and it holds that same way with all the different aircraft.

However no matter what plane I am in the three most favorites are:

IL-2
C-47
Boston formation
