for fighter sweeps it's whatever kite I feel like flying
In the JABO role, really only one kite can do the hanger/anti-armor at the same time. The -1C. Drop the 2 1k eggs, reverse and shoot off the rockets, quick weapon switch to activate the second gun bank, lay down on the trigger = dead hanger. Then you've still got 250-275rds (in each bank) to strafe tanks with.
V bases I'll use any kite in the inventory, save the Yak, La5 (never flown it), and 109s. Any of them can strafe down the ack and hanger in 2 passes.
A bases:
If I'm assigned hanger duty I prefer the jug or lightning. 2 1k eggs + 10 rockets = dead hanger. Depending on distance to target either 75% or 100% internal fuel.
If I'm on anti-armor patrol I prefer the -1C with 2x1k eggs and 100% fuel.
For ack duty I'll use just about any kite in the inventory, save the 109F4, G2, or G6, or La5 (cause I just dinnae fly it
). I've taken down all the acks at a small base in a Yak9 before, and had 150 or so MG rounds and all cannon rounds left to vulch with. I think I've got that one on film too.
Mayhap we'll have to start organizing some more of our massive jabo raids. They've kinda fallen off with the introduction of the quakewind =\
BTW hang, go to the help/training board and look for the thread 'JABO: use what ya got'. I posted a couple of JABO films.
