<S> :salute
I was wondering if one of the l33t pony sticks that frequent here would spend some quality time with me in the TA. I will offer my grand champion show sheep as payment. I got the basics down and have read page after page of pony advice on the boards.
My main area of interest is tips on proper use of flaps and rudder. I can BNZ....heck....who cant? But i watch Oldemon and some of the others dance the 51 down low and it just frekken amazes me.
THanks

To be versed in the dark arts of the pony, you first need to remove that P40 from your signature...
What timezone you in, and what times are you on??
-
Oh Mighty Meat Flipper ! :rofl Thank you for your response
Central is the time zone for me! Im mostly on after 1830
The p40b in my signature must stay as tribute to Tex Hill ahhhhh My HERO! :rock He flew the pony b also! That has got to count for something.

Maybe its just me but BnZ is not as easy as it seems. I find that if I'm not careful doing BnZ in an environment with lots of cons, it can be deadly.

:rofl :rofl I have a tendency to make craters full of scrap metal when I B&Z.
I'm so wrapped up in what I'm trying to pick that I don't pull out in time :lol
GAWD I hate being a dweeb! :rolleyes: :D

Amen brother. If there is an easy, simple, fool-proof way of converting an E advantage in a Pony or D9 to a kill on a well-flow Corsair or Spit, I ain't found it yet.
I mean, often enough I use the vertical okay and stay in the offensive drivers seat for a good bit, but still just can't hit the bugger!

Also....take 25% or 50% gas with drop tanks. Skin the dts on the first pass and you can turn fight a LOT better than you ever dreamed. If your really crazy take 25 and leave the dts on until you need that extra bit of speed and agility. I have a 2.42 to 1 k/d using this method with 143 kills this month in the P-51B which is not bad considering I am turn fighting with spits, ki's, and other turn planes. Find me in the MA sometime and we can fly together. If ya like I can go to the TA and show you flaps, over shoots, and E management with it.

it depends, if you have a plane like the 51D, it holds E well. I like to dive on the enemy farthest back because he has noone to give him a 6 call unless he has SA or some one in front of him has SA. and while we are on topic of 51's. are the 51's guns farther out on the wing than the P40E?

<snip> and while we are on topic of 51's. are the 51's guns farther out on the wing than the P40E?
Yes, but not by very much. Both planes have similar wingspans, and the guns are outboard of the gear in both cases. The P40, however, has a narrower wheel separation. I wouldn't think that the difference would be significant in any case.

Mind you the B and the D are very different birds in the turn fight IMO.
