Author Topic: The challenge... (Read 863 times)

Can't recall who made this challenge but.. someone said that I should fly every plane in the set till I land a kill in it for a tour.

I started yesterday. I will fly every single seat fighter till I get a kill and land it (or ditch).

Alphabetical order... so far I have gotten to fly easy planes to get kills in... Zekes and the 109 series.. the 109s are as big of assist kings as my FM2 or a 51b but easy to fly well.

Good part is... I am getting all the views done as I go.

Really?

I've been doing the "land two kills in every plane" thing.......ie get a swoop landed x in x mssg in the text buffer for each plane. I'm up to the 190s.......

I heard Citabria did a "get 5 kills in every plane" thing a while back.

Step up a gear Lazs.

I'm working on 'get killed 5 times by every aircraft type'.

Finished.

I pretty much am getting 2 kills in em but the challenge said 1... I don't think I could stomach some of the planes long enough to get even 2 kills much less 5.

Plus... I'm not as patient as citabria or as good as you.

You are going to spend a lot of time in that C-47.

Don't be daft, all I've got going for me is a little bit of patience and a good eye for the gunnery, I'm awful in a furball.

But I'll agree.....couldn't get out of that damn 202 fast enough and I'm not looking forward to the AR234 either .

I will only fly the single seat fighters.

Best of luck with the clown-tailed Ki.

That plane is a flying target for 733t 5p1tf14e ac3s.

why not 10 kills, 1 rearm max, instead?

lazs2 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 03, 2003, 02:31:10 PM »

because then I would get stuck in the boring LW rides for longer than I like... I can stomach the one sortie, get a kill or two, and return to base but that's about it.

how about killing one of every a/c type? that would be more fun! only ones i missed out on last tour were:-

C.202
Bf 110C-4b
Bf 109E-4
Spitfire Mk XIV

why you doing that, Lazs? It doesn't sound like you're having that much fun doing it. I know I have absolutely no desire to strap on a Fw190 (any variant) in the MA, and I hate it when the 332nd draws 190 duty in Squad Ops. I don't fly that much, so I don't want to spend time in planes I don't enjoy.

yet, if it's fun for you, go for it.

I keep trying to do that. The nearest I've gotten is everything apart from the F4U-4, tour 33. That was before the Ju87, Kate etc patch though.

I also like seeing how long I can go without getting shot down in a particular type. I think I've managed 50+ in the 190D (twice), Typh, Spit IX, Seafire, La5 and F4U-C so far. The 50 mark seem to be some sort of physical barrier for me, I've never got to 60 yet

Next on the list to try and do it in are the IL2 and maybe the 109G-2.
