Title: The Experiment
Post by: Slade on February 10, 2009, 06:09:55 PM
Howdy,

Starting Feb. 2 to Feb. 10 I took up each fighter plane in alpha order, got a kill in it, then moved on to the next plane.  The stats only seemed to want to start around Feb. 4 or so so my 1st planes do not register for this month. 

I do not recommend this for the score fixated!!! :lol

I learned a lot about these planes.  I keep learning small nuances about them all.  I crashed many of them several times in re-learning them!

One caveat, I intentionally did not take the last two P-38s to a kill though I flew them.  I lost patience with these (I use a mouse and actually prefer this).  38 is a great plane - I am just an average pilot.

Not even sure if I have flown every single plane yet... maybe one of the 38's... good job.

It's a great learning tool to do that. It helps to know what the enemys plane can and can't do. I did that for awhile, flying a different plane the whole tour. I missed my 51 after about the 4th month though and stopped  :lol

Yes. If nothing else I understand my opponents chess piece a little bit better.

Flies everything in the plane set and uses a mouse?  Sounds like someone else I know...  :rock


I find this game so much more fun if you continuously switch up aircraft.  Like every other aspect of my life, I prefer to be a jack of all trades, master of none   :lol

Not to be one uping you, but SkyRock flew every single plane and got 2 kills in it and landed. He said the goon flight was the easiest because a bunch of B24s augerd right in front of him.

Did this a couple weeks back, congrats though. :salute

And he did that after reading a post in a thread where I had flown about 40 planes the month before (which I actually do pretty regularily).

If you can fly, kill and survive down low in any of the 38s, you can fly anything.  <S>

Drunken Monkeys did this as a squad challenge in tour 99.  Goal was to get two kills in everything for max points.   I think 1 kill was x points 2nd kill was y points add em all up...

Squad challenges can be fun....examples...

most kills landed in a sortie
K/D
K/S
captures
time muted/tour  :devil

I did that in early January.  It was lots of fun.  I only flew fighters and attack planes though.  Started to do bombers but it just seemed too silly.
