Very nice thought from you Naudet, I'm sure they will appreciate it :)

OK lets start it
D9 is the most sucking plane in the game :D
The few times I flew the dora out of a feeling of nationalism, patriotism or ehh..
stupidity, I was dissapointed.
To get one kill, you have to climb 5 mins, find a con who is flying straight and level and dive on him.
When you are in effective gun range (that means under 50 feet :cool: )he breaks away.
If you try to follow him you're dead, if you climb he is far away.
At least the D9 is a passable jabo for gv, but a mediocre deacker(due to its unacceptable turn rates)
OH I forgot the one ping engine kills from behind. :rolleyes:
I have no idea, why some luftwaffles think this is a fantastic plane.
Flying the A5 or A8 could be fun, but the dora is only fast.
Maybe we should paint the Dora dark brown with a yellow UPS on it and use it for express deliveries :p
If this is the most enhanced German fighter in the game, I am afraid what the Me262 will become. A rocket without ailerons?
enough bashing for today

Frankly, calling yourself the "worst LW whiner" is a bit arrogant. I'm really not certain that you are capable of achieving this high ideal.
Hooligan

I was thinking the same thing Hooligan. I dunno if he's even in the top 10 right now.
After all.. ram is back ;)

I'm a little disappointed in RAM. I'm going to have to start HOing all LW planes for a while to see if we can get him riled up again.

naudet only whines because he knows deep down there is something wrong with this plane. We all know it, even the Allied wieners know the plane should be vastly better then the POS WTF kind of toejam is this thing flying around with a cross on its wings for? At any rate I will fly it and run and climb and run some more, then I will turn, well not inside of a lancaster but I will try it.
I once read from the british reports of how lancaster night raiders would turn inside of their contemporaries and outlast them and make the engaging fighter run out fo fuel first. It was quite amazing to read about such a novel way of defense from a 4 engine bomber on a single engine agile piston fighter. Just goes to show those brits will stop at nothing, even after the spitfire was intrduced their ingenious ploy at making bomber out turn fighters shocked the world. This inturn led to Great Britain becoming the powerful juggernaut that it is today.
Finer then our german knives?
What Tv commercial is this from? :D

hehehehehe then you wont get me.
Only time I've flown in the MA was yesterday in...a P51B and P38L :D
Just try in the CT, there I will indeed fly LW ;)

the D9 was not a fighter , it was a intercepter built to attack B17 formations of hundreds of planes at high alt and thats all it's good for
-
D-9 was known as the "stang killer". Uh-oh...those allied wieners will soon want their 51's protected by that dang perkin, even though they're evenly matched....
-
Hyas Naudet old bud :D :D
Dora Rulez, its the only weapon in game to kill this toejam Runstangs :D
Runstang Pilots cry and whine "The D9 is to fast, bla bla bla"
Luftwaffe RULEZ :D

Sounds good to me. Just a sec... finds a two-by-four, hammers a long nail through the end, wraps it with barbed wire and lights it on fire
Come get some. :cool:

Now Naudet don't put yourself in the position defining THE Luftwaffe whiner , I mean there were people before that were considered whiners and that title is shared amongst the elite Luftwhiners of AH , I would believe it would include myself in that list but I am in virtual retirement .
Until that day don't hog the tittle since the allied pigs can't track us with all their chute shooting ability and farm animal humping has left them seriously brain damaged.

guy just a simple question, what sources do u use?
here a hind why the D9 was never intended as B17 interceptor
reduced weapons compared to A8, it only has 2x20mm and 2x13mm were the A8 has 4x20mm 2x13mm or 2x30mm+2x20mm+2x13
u need cannons to kill B17s and u need a good deal of shells that hit
would be quite stupid to build an interceptor that would need an elite gunner or atleast 2 attack runs to down a B17
-
Agree, D9 was anything but a buff interceptor. Is is a more than capable fighter, IMO, far superior to the P51 (except in range). The MAIN problems with D9 in AH, imo, are two:
1 - Absolutelly horrible guns performance and aiming, the very worst weaponset with a huge margin (except C202).
2 - Ping = engine out or ping = radiator out. No radiator = 15 secs flying.
In the other hand, acceleration is good, substained climb is good, zoom climb is average (even with lo drag!), roll is good and dive is good.

Ede that's the spirit godamnit about time I saw you curse ! The new ede isn't that placid anymore ooh ooh ooh.
