109Gx. Been trying the G6, but feel more confident with the G10. Both are difficult (for me) to do well in - a real challenge. That's why I fly them.

It's gonna be a long, frustrating tour for you, Karnak!

190a8

It's weird, I've been flying LW in AH for 2+ years and basically ignored the A8's existence because I couldn't stand its performance (or lack thereof). Couldn't dogfight for sh*t in it, very rarely successfully rtb'd in it. Only purpose of it to me was as a novelty jabo just for variety's sake.

Go figure, last few months all of a sudden I just love the damn thing. Prefer it over d9 and a5, do just fine knife-fighting spits etc.. Firepower, ammo and dive are great, turn rate isn't even that bad with a little finesse and ACM.

As my emphasis in tactics shifts away from being dependent on alt and speed to win, planes like this become a hell of a lot more fun

.

Also been enjoying 109F4, Zekes and F4Us lately.

I have been flying fm2, f6f, and... because of all the timid 51's and 47's around I have been flying the tempest and -4 and yak.

So just what do you expect a yak to do about timid 51 drivers? If they're as timid as you suggest you aint gonna get near em anyway.

BTW its 109g2 and la5 for me this tour

Spit V will be the main ride.

Since eye-popping speed and vertigo-inducing rates of climb are my main interest, I will once again mainly fly the F4U-1 with a smattering of FM2 in the intense short range furballs.

I may occasionally take a Mustang out for old time's sake with the squaddies.

A few other incredibly feared and dangerous uber rides like the C-205 for variety maybe.

gremlin... the tempest and -4 work pretty well on the timid 51's... if nothing else they run home with no cherry picked kills... 2 sectors to and 2 sectors back doing nothing but running and droning is pretty good punishment for em.

Think I'm gonna keep flyin the osty, I know, I know what you're all gonna say, poor rate of climb, wide turning circle, cigarette lighter don't work, cd player trashed!!

May give the YAK'y U another go this tour, pity bout the ammo load tho......

Gonna try a new plane this tour. Someone told me the F6F was good and I think I will try it out. Anyone have any pointers?

Yes, search for mister Mathman, I heard is an awesome F6F pilot.

Furball · « **Reply #28 on:** July 04, 2003, 12:33:45 PM »

i recommend anyone try the 109F-4, its a very much under-estimated plane as the occasional "there is NO WAY a 109 can turn like that" cheat accusation's prove

aac · « **Reply #29 on:** July 04, 2003, 02:53:18 PM »

THAT is MISTER MATHMAN ! ! ! ! and he is a little ok with the f6f if he is between 0-18k alt. LOL (S) Oh by the way if you can get him above 18k please let me know how you did it and if you kill him please please let me know how you did that also.........

and for me it will be as always every kind of plane a5 a8 205 47's 51's il2 nike spit typhie I like them all.
