Title: What rides have you......
Post by: AAolds on December 28, 2007, 06:30:19 AM
.............used the most to get your kills?

As of the past few tours the tiger has been my main vehicle to use to deliver death.  Other rides Ive used on a regular basis are the F4U1C, F4U1D, Hurr2C, B25H, A20, Panzer and Firefly.

Tiger:  even though the Tiger Tank's armor get no justice and its 88mm cannon can bounce off an M3 :rofl    It is still my favorite ride as GVs go.  

Firefly: Gun has excellent mobility and can effectively blast aircraft out of the sky in the hands of a good shot.  Can kill Tigers in 1 shot at long range---Im personally a lil skeptikal to the historical accuracy of this, but such as it is in the game.

Panzer:  Good all around GV.


F4us 1D and 1C.... great ord package for GV whackin, lots of MG or 20mms, good speed, good in turn fights, decent range.

Hurr2c:  enough ord to kill GVs, 20mms, decent flight time, excellent slow speed turn fighter.

B25H:  ROFL  that 75mm HE cannon is wicked vs GVs.  I love flying over panzers and shooting them in their 6 and watching them explode from 1 shot!  Has plenty of bombs too.  I landed 12 kills once in 1 sortie using a combonation of the ords and 75mm cannon.  

A20: plenty of ord for killin GVs, 8 50 cal MGs is plenty for soft skinned GVs and enemy aircraft.  The A20 with 50% fuel and no ord on board is a surprising oppenent in a dogfight in the right hands.

The Yak9T, the 9U, the P47D-25 for bombing GV's, the T34 at the end of a runway vulching planes as they launch, and here at home, the Dodge Ramcharger for the local wildlife.

F4U-4 For the fighter killing.


P47-D-25 for Fighter to fighter/ GV pounding.

JU-87-Stuka For the lovely CV sinking :D ( nothing works better than a rook stuka raid mission on anything ) :aok !

Yak-9U My overall favorite bird for Fighter to fighter, super fast, great turning ability, great diving, good gun package ( i'm a crack shot so yea ), and OK cockpit view.
Title: P-38
Post by: zilla on December 28, 2007, 08:31:38 AM
I just hate P-38s. All P-38 pilots are witches and we should burn 'em.

I like the FM2...just not sure why.

JUGS for everything but base defense.  I use a Hurr2c for base defense.  I have been trying out new rides but always come back to the JUG.

.338 for those deer that like to eat my cows hay, but I get tired of dragging them.  Such is life in Montana.

Everything I've gotten kills with this tour:

1. F4U-1A (27): She's like a baby -4. My main ride
2. F4U-4 (14): Only reason I don't fly her more often is the perk cost
3. F4U-1C (13): I don't fly her often, and when I do it's as attack so I'm mostly going after ground targets. 9 of the kills came from one sortie (however I can and have done that with the 1A and 4). I just don't think the cannons really make up for the performance hit of the extra weight.
4. FM-2 (5): She's a good, highly-maneuverable ship. She just can't CATCH anything, and only having four guns makes her an assist queen.
5. F4U-1D (4): Like the Charlie I mostly fly her on attack sorties so I'm mostly strafing, egging and rocketing ground targets
6. B-25H (1)

163, La7, IL2, B26

but anyway ,i don't play "to get kills", high k/d or score, it's about fun and team oriented game in my view

F6F and then the FM2 are my main tools for the job.

Grumman RULES !!!

Post by: Ghastly on December 28, 2007, 10:59:50 AM
Normally, I fly the -1A almost exclusively for fighter to fighter, and the -1D almost exclusively for fighter to ground.  Only rarely do I usually fly other fighters, although one of my goals is to get at least comfortable with every plane in the plane set.

This TOD I've spent a lot of time in a Spit IX though, mostly because I've been flying with my son-in-law who's not up to flying the F4U's (nor really interested in them I think.)

I've come to really appreciate the IX.  She's a sweet ride and a great way to build perks.

Mossie 251
A-20 106

Been flying the mossie alot (mostly so I have a better shot of killing m00t:)){not that it helped much:cry }[but there's always next year:aok ]

Overall I think the A-20 is a far superior "down & dirty" plane then the mossie but no question the combination of speed and firepower make the mossie a much better bird for the MA overall...

Just for giggles I checked the 38G stats this tour

I have 175 of the 892 P38G kills which is roughly 20%

I have 148 of the 1213 deaths of the 38G.  That's about 12%

Not sure what that says :confused:

Not sure how to factor in my flying ability or lack therof into it as well as my tendency to plow into the mob head first without thinking :D

Pumpkin colored plane:  107 kills, 43 deaths.
Shoot-em-in-the-face CAP breaker:  30 Kills, 23 deaths (probably the majority of my 12 ditches too, so that K/D ratio is a bit misleading).
Flak Pit on tracks:  23 kills, 13 deaths, and I still can't hit squat compared to my squaddies.:o
17 lbs of love:  19 kills, 4 deaths (8-9 of those kills vs. low 110s :D )
Spitty V:  12 kills, 9 deaths.  Maybe one day I will be man enough for the XVI.



(Yes, this has been a good tour for me.)

I should have been more specific:  Shoot-em-in-the-face with 23mm CAP breaker.  :D

Takes a little more punishment than the IIC, and (more importantly) can still up when the FHs are down.  :aok

Well looking up the stats, I find...

KILLS IN:
Typhoon   98     Fun as a fighter and as a JABO
Tempest   42     Best Plane in the entire game...IMHO. Does everything.
P40E         25     Most fun plane to beat La7's in...BAR NONE.
Ki84          17     Most fun plane, to me.
A6m5b      15     God, just don't ping me.


Sherman    80    Air or ground, you're mine.  Keep up that flat   strafing...pads my stats.  When the heck are you fighter types gonna learn... oh wait... don't learn.



Guess those are my favorite rides.

Well...if you want to be that specific...might as well add Shoot-em-in-the-face with 23mm HE CAP breaker. :p
