« on: August 23, 2003, 07:23:00 PM »
started flying the thing last night. so i got 54 today and a n1k just upped a friend augered his stuka trying to kill him. im on his 5 oclock d300. i turn toward him get on his 6 at d100 and open fire with only cannon rounds. his wing falls off and i got to the field look for some more kills. i see flak on ground and i have an egg with me but i dont attack cause i know im going to die. so pull and and the flak hits me. i get in tower go to hangar see how many perks i got........7 perks!?!?!?!? them im like hehe i think i found a cool new plane. ive learned cannons have not good firing range. anyone else fly this bird (109E4) sometimes?

Mmmmmm....Emil...good Lightning snacks but like Chinese food, leaves you hungry a few minutes later.

As for the cannons, I think with all the German planes they're low velocity so it's good to get in close before using them and don't use them for longer shots past 500yrds.

Yes...  I tried E-4  and i can stay in turn fights with spit V. The guns and cannons are as good as the A6M2. I think that shooting beyond D150+ with 2x 20mm MG/FFs is spraying. I need alot of Ritalin before i fly planes that demands skills like 109E-4.

skull you will soon also discover 202 and Hurricane II-D - if you want to make your life harder AH provides many options.  (I fly both of those planes a lot btw).   Kudos on not just wanting to be a vanilla pilot, we got a million of those.

I dont fly it very often but regularly, too.
A very good plane to kick spitfire and other dweeb planes butts.
The weakest point is its very short fuelrange. Therefore it works best at field defense.
HT should increase its fuelrange to make it more attractive.
Does other early war planes have such a short fuelrange too?
Thats the only reason why i dont fly it more often.

another 202 story:

it was in the pizza map in those canyons, i mannaged to trick a f6f to follow me out of is group of friends and engage me in a 1vrs1, after a long fight (most of it was me chasing the f6f and scratching his paint with my pea shooters i killed him and got my #7 i smile to myself and ok only 3 more and ill land

i start climbing out of the canyon and checking the area for cons.
as i finish i notice that the canyon walls are a tad higher then i thought, i say to myself- "no problem, ill just kick in the WEP and ill go over it in a sec" <20 seconds later> "hmmm maybe i should turn and climb some more" "naaa im too lazy and lack the patience for it" <10 secons later>" i really shoud brake... i doubt if ill make it over the canyon cliff" <5 secs later> i try turning but i am too slow from the steep climb i did, i stall the plane and crash in to the canyon wall


man i was so pissed off



and the 109 will eat the hurri alive
