Okay, I am just curious. In each of the arenas, what is you primary fighter, bomber, and why. This isnt a spam post, just an excercise in psycology. I want to know what makes you tick, and why. Analysis. Please be serious, dont waste anyone's time. thank you.

Mid-war-
P-40E Same
B-17G Its our squad plane
Late-War-
P-51D Its American, and its kinda decent
B-17G same as above

Early War: HMk1
Mid War: HMk1
Late War: HMk1

Gonna have to go with Schatzi on this one except late war, in which the Hurricane Mk 2C is usually necesary for pesky BnZers

No, just when I find something I REALLY like. I have always been meaning to use this one, ever since I took it, I just couldnt convert to greyscale until this morning.

yea in that ealry war arena i like that p40e, rugged solid gun package and its pretty agile. In the mid its hellcat,f4u and p51b, same in the late, 51b or d f4u f6f. Yes im american and use US equipment, if i was fightin this war for real this is what i would be in. Only plane that makes it to the list is a very rare ride in seafire.

Early war- P-40B or E for furballin, P-38G for buff busting and general pwnage
Mid war- P38G or P-51B for furballin, P-38J for buff busting and general being pwndage
Late war- its all cannon fodder in my hands.

Anything in particular? '38s I assume...

Early war
Spit 1
Stuka!!!!
I dont fly in any other arena's! For once im enjoying not being attacked by super fast planes (LA7 and Spit 16) Whilst i am going so slow I couldnt overtake a JU88 in my Spit 1!:D
-
EWA:
anything goes. I like them all from wildcats to 109s
MWA:
P47D11 - Jugs above all others. They just work for me and are so ugly that it's beatiful.
Mosquito - Most interesting plane ever.
LWA:
P47D11/25/40/N - Jugs.
Though I haven't visited there since the new setup
-
I'll fly anything so I don't have to see any more of these stupid survey threads.
:aok

your change in attitude in the matter of a few weeks is quite amusing

Not true. I still love the 109, but I dont fly it as much, in an effort to broaden my horizons. I took a G2 up a few days ago, and had the time of my life just being back in one. Ive just discovered how well the P-40 works in this game. Im waiting until we move into the late war arena, where I will split my time between the P-51 (Just to see what all the hype is about) and the G-14. Not sure why I am looking foreward to the 14 over the K, but ive spent so much time in the K, and I dont have the options I am fond of (the centerline bomb). I am simply broadening my horizons with american aircraft, because if I am going to fly American bombers as my prime bomber, I am going to fly American fighters to go with it. I do fall in love with a new plane every week, but will always love the 109. (I just wish I was a better pilot in it).
edit: Besides, I thought I made my feelings for the 109 clear enough last time.

EW : Zeke

not saying it is a bad thing. one of my pointers to you when we fought was to vary the aircraft you fly - you are doing that so you will only get better.
it was a matter of weeks ago you went postal at me for saying you flew american rides :D

Allow me to clarify yet again. I wasnt upset about you saying I flew american planes. I love the 40, and the 38. I have loved them ever since I got my first book on world war two. I just turn into I giant aerial target in a 38, and im only just learning to kill stuff in a 40.
I got upset because you said, and I quote "You only fly 109s because you think its cool". THAT is what pissed me off. I LOVE the 109. Its such a sinister, evil aircraft, and that calls to me. I long to share those same sinister emotions with such a beautiful aircraft. I suck at it, and that hurts deep down, but I so want to... as retarded as it sounds, become one with that aircraft. My flying the P-40 is a stop-gap, a way for me to practice ACM, and learn to actually fight. But once we get back into the LWA, im going to try my hand at the G-14 again. Its the fact that you questioned my motivations. I am a 109 geek. I have about 96 pictures of 109s I cycle through as desktop wallpapers, I have all the tech documents I have found, I have cockpit layouts in both english and german, I have a model (This is the most retarded thing about me) I have a model 109E by my computer I say good morning to every morning in the hopes it will bring me good hunting. I just like more than one aircraft, but life will become so much easier, if we get the He-111. Because another of those little annoying things about me is I am obsessed with uniformity. If I fly an american bomber, I am going to fly an american fighter, whether I like it or not. Once we get the He-111 though, I can fly the 109 again, and stick to all german planes with no remorse, and simply come back to my B-17 every now and then.
So yeah, those are just some of my obsessive-compulsive motivations.
