Author Topic: What's the fascination with the C.205 lately??? (Read 1244 times)

Me and my squad CO JB42 have been noticeing ALOT of Macchi C.205's in the skies lately. a lot more than usual.

personally it's what i learned to fly in about 1 1/2 years ago, and me an JB42 have kind of had a secret love of it. we both feel it's a hidden gem.

for some reason we both got into flying it almost exclusively in the middle of last tour. man did i get the perks (1 sortie @ 5AM with the #'s in the MA 34 bish 49 knits 11 rooks i got 94 perks for 3 kils!!!)

but now it's kind of a bummer to fly because so many of you are in it

LOL

so whats the deal? why have so many people started flying it? have others found the secret of flying it? do you know what it's strength's are?

oh well i'm just curious and bummed my secret weapon has been found.

Don't be bummed, your secret weapon was discovered long ago, there are quite a few threads about it.

People don't normally fly the C.205 because it takes time away from their spit/niki/la7.

ra .. i know there has always been a select few that knew about it .... go back in the stats though ... 205 has had only a about 4500 kills per tour total.

here we are near the begining of a tour and it has 1000 kills already !

pizza map?
it goes well with the tiger skin paint scheme. Drive these colours over europe and everyone will think you'r a drug dealer or something.

Near the beginning? At the 9th the tour is almost 1/3rd over. 1000 don't seem to be that much

The 205 is the best lil perk farmer in the game

I try to fly a different plane every tour. The 205 was mine a couple of tours ago....good plane.

Dunno... It's a good bird no doubt but I'm tending toward the La 5 for my perk collections.. Think its the same 40 or so value but has better speed and a lil better turning.

No Macchi for me, lacks firepower ofcourse one doesnt need firepower when skilled but some extra .50's never hurt anyone (who flies it)

You sure we are talking about the same plane? I find the 205's cannons to be more than adequate. Now the 202...those 30 cals on it seem to just piss people off

202 is fun when yer bored with everything else. I go for the kill shots, too hard to disable a plane with those 30s.

the 205 is a mustang with 2x cannons? am i right?
