There were some really great fights in there last Tuesday, of course there were only about 40+ people in there. If you tire of the hoard come on over :)

Had a great time in midwar last night, 12-18-07.
Had a good fight (bad ending for me) with oldman.
Got my a** shot off at A47 by a bunch of vulchs. Not bitter though, they were trying to capture the base and were protecting flight after flight of bombers coming in (I do expect a "thank you" from each and every one of you for being a good sport and reuping so many times so you could pad your scores by shooting me down right off the runway.
Got SCHOOLED by a great 38 flyer (3trophy, I know I fluffied that up, I am sorry). Tought me so much watching him shoot me down over and over. Very informative and will use the lessons learned in the future. Thank you!
Thank you all in midwar last night for a good couple of hours.

I dont know how to fight without a Horde on my prettythang. Love to be picked, HO'ed and rammed. Keeps my BP up and makes me fall asleep faster knowing I made some Noob happy.

VF-31 will be doing a Tour in Mid-war next month. For sure on squad nights "Mondays" but if we have a good number of guys on, we'll swing in and destroy all!!

He's a fun guy to wing with. The other day we put some major hurt into a group of Knits near their base. We were outnumbered 2-1 and between the both of us, think we bagged close to 20 kills before returning to base.

Like I said it was a very educational engagement...
Me low on the verge of stalling trying anything I could do to gain E and him making a pass, zooming, then reversing for another pass.
Reminded me of a pigeon trying to run from a hawk!

That was fun...kinda dicey at 1st tho before you got there, they had me like 5 on 1. I was glad you showed up, it was gravy after that.

Sup YAF1. About the best piece of advice i can give you regarding fighting a 38 is try to avoid following one up in the vertical unless you're driving one of the major climbers (109K4, Spit14,16, Frank maybe...I'm sure someone will add the rest) or you have a substantial E advantage. As far as I'm concerned the strongest point of the P38 is the ability to just hang there at damn near zero airspeed with zero torque while the bandit stalls and flops below. Much of the time I count on the bandit trying to go vertical with my 38, I wag that fat P38 butt (big juicy target, the p38 is huge in the plan view) at them to entice them into the vertical. 8 times out of 10 they follow and stall.

question you say not to try to follow them up, does that mean after a pass?
cause i was fighting a 38 at like 15k in a zero. i kept climbing up after every pass. (i guess he was giving me too much time) eventualy we got to 20k and were about even e i followed him up the last time and blew him away.
is that good strat>?

The only good 38's were the ones with the Norden installed. The other 38 bombers I guess just rolled down the window and dropped coconuts out by hand. I'm not a bomber expert though so I could be wrong.
