I am not aiming to tell anyone what to do but it occurs to me the real skill is choosing a plane and learn to fly it well. As in learn to work around its limitations and discover any hidden strenghts. Then exploit the assumptions others make about it to your advantage by surprising people.
I have chosen the spit 16 :rofl
(Actually I have decided to downgrade to the spit 8)

Bah
N00B!
:D
-
I choose the P-51 because everyone knows it can out turn, out run, and out fight every other plane of WW2 with very little effort! :P
-
Maybe I am just too lazy to learn new planes, but I've mostly flown 109G-14 (G-10 before that) already for several years :)

I'll outturn you in a Ki-61. EASILY.

Ok I choose the Yak-3 and I am sticking to it! What's that? It is not in the game inventory yet? :huh When will it be added? :pray

Yak 3 would be badarse to have!

the yak-3 would be nice. . .
I tend to fly two planes, the hard and the fun. What thjose two are is a sekrit

I have to wonder at the logic of ignoring the other 70 odd aircraft in favor of one.
Everyone has their favorites, certain birds lend themselves to specific styles, but one of the
quickest ways to learn an opponenets capabilities is to try driving one yourself.
Of course if I remember correctly, Yrables is one of those "fly historically!" guys
who wants Axis vrs Allies style arenas.

Agreed. Much of the fun of AH is having all those nice aeroplanes to fly.

If I'm on for a couple of hours, I'm generally found in spit IX (I'm a spit dweeb, yeah I know ner)
If I'm on for a longer stint, I fly whatever takes my fancy at that particular moment in time - I'm really not worried what bird I die in :D

Never had just one plane I liked to fly...in fact, my list of planes flown are probably 3/4 of the set.
The Spit 8 has been a favorite for many months along with the f6 and fm2 but have been flying the 51 nearly as much.
Sometimes I have a hard time going back to the Ki-84 and getting kills. It has more to do with learning the guns again than anything else. I flew it quite often many tours back.
I'd love to learn the 38 but fear of dieing repeatedly trying to get a handle on it discourages me.
-
Part of learning the 38 is not worrying about dying since we don't really die :)
The beauty of it being a game is there is no risk to trying to find the limits of a particular bird. Should you fail a few times you get to keep on coming back to try again :aok

38G :aok ofcourse the "G" refering to --> GOOFBALL ! :D

I have always advised new squaddies if they are going to learn a new ride to fly it at least for a full tour. (if not 2)

F4U-1A

I disagree withg the premise that people need to do only one thing, ride in only one machine. There are some people who play this game that use one ride and thats all they do.
They become so good in that one ride, with the same two or three proven strong moves over and over again that they actually become a sort of drag to deal with. Also, they develop attitudes of cartoon superiority that are unhealthy for the game overall.
Some people need to expand their repertoire a bit to keep things interesting for themsleves and everyone else, to keep things in perspective, fresh, challenging.
One trick ponies do become a bit of a bore after ten years, don't they?

I often will advise a noob to fly one or two planes early on and learn thier attributes,
but I prefer my "Dirty Dozen" and pretty much stick to em
B-17- Bomber Ops
Goon- Capture , Supps
Hellcat- CV Ops
Hurri- Close base defense
Mossie- GV Killa, ENY Ride
Lanc- Bomber Ops
P-38- GV Killa, Historical Sqd ride
Jug40- Main Jabo, Historical Sqd ride
PonyD- Escort, Fighter
Spit16- Fighter
Typh- Fighter
Temp- Fighter

I fly several each night. but I have my 'main' ride, the f4u1a, I've stuck with it and enjoy it the most. But starting last tour I flew the spit9 a lot, and this tour the spit8. each plane has its time and place. learnin a new plane is frustrating and fun. but having my favorite is fun too.
-
I gave a good % of my time to the 109E last tour...got a lot of assists :P
It is fun to commit a little extra time to a certain plane.
-
Spitfire Mk.IX :aok
-
I tend to predominately fly one fighter at a time, not so much out of a desire to master it's intricacies as it's whatever it is that historically interests me at the time. I started the game on the 51 fresh off from reading Anderson and Yeagers' biographies and wanting to recreate their exploits, after several years of that I got interested in the PTO and the carrier raids in the central pacific and Solomon islands and lo and behold I was flying the F6F now. From there I decided that I wanted to learn more about New Guinnea which where I'm at now. Flying the 38 95% of the time probably. But I also like to up the occasional P-39D... it's pretty rare for me to want to fly bombers yet I really enjoy a low level raid in a 354th painted B-25 strafer for some reason. The history is what makes me play the game.

Or shooting them down...... often.
As for someone thinking flying one plane is like cheating..... flying many of the other planes are simply boring. They turn on a dime roll like a twister. They are lite and nimble. Very friendly to drive.
Just simply depends on what you normally fly and how it compares.
-
I am usually wishing for new planes as new enemies to shoot down rather that to fly them myself. E.g. I was very happy when P-39 came, but have never flown it myself :)
-
same here. that's why I want the early japanese set filled out with the Betty and Oscar. just to flame then
-
38 J and P51D here...most ppl dont know how good those planes fly
-
I have just started in the 51 for a couple of tours but I can see myself always going up in what I find to be a fun ride, the good ol' jappa known as "Tony"...it's just so much fun.
-
I fly the 38G mainly because the 80th FS flew the 38 historically. History is why I play. If I was in an RAF Hurricane squadron I'd fly Hurricanes.
If thats how I choose to play, I'm not limiting myself, I'm 'flying' the history that interests me. If someone wants to fly all the planes, so be it. There is no 'right' way to do it.
-
80th??? where have I seen that before? hmmmmm
-
that's actually a good piece of advice dude.
i've chosen the p38......unfortunately., i still suck in it. :rofl :rofl
CAP its not that you suck in it you have no flying time and when you do get in your learning all over again main thing is are you having fun? sure you are you wouldnt keep flying it
-
hehe i haven't flown the hurri in 2 weeks cant catch no one so ive been in the f4ua,and the d but really found the p51D a lot of fun
-
G-6

Ki-84

LA-5fn great plane :rock
-
I started with the ponyD then someone told to fly Yak tp help improve aim... So now I fly pony and yak... Seafire if off a carrier...
-
Spit 9.
-
I get hot/cold streaks with different rides, Ill be nay unstoppable for several days, then suddenly I cant buy a kill, switch to a different ride.. BAM back on track. so I have an "inventory" that I fly, usually 1 ride for 1 week or so.. Jug, yak, G6, 38, P40E, then usually start back at the jug..
-
The plane im good at...it changes every sortie. :D
-
I fly the Typhoon because I fly like crap anyway so the poor flying characteristics don't bother me much. However, I can circumcise a gnat at 300 yards so the 4 X Hizookas are a great fit, any minuscule fleeting snapshot will do.
-
Ar234.
Because you should feel ashamed when you get shot down by one. :)
-
P47N...not the best fighter ride, considering what alts fights usually happen, but I've flown it so long I REALLY don't know how to fly anything else (nor want to)

I have to disagree. Trying different planes is fun.
Plus there is a rock-paper-scissors aspect to upping the right plane for the right job.

38's are terrible for jabo missions plus they're big frame make them ack magnets. A few hits and your out an eng or you'll more than likely end up w a pilot wound going for a CV, town or air field.
There are far better planes for jabo missions. 38's can not hold onto one bomb and fly around nearly as easy as lets say a 51 or F6.
On top of that, 38's do not do nearly as well as other planes in low furball's
There is a right plane for the right job when it comes to that IMO
-
A8TOOL,
The only thing that you said that was accurate there was about the pilot wounds. The P-38 is in all other ways superior to the P-51 as a ground attack aircraft. What gave you the insane idea that the P-51 can carry a single 1,000lber more easily than the P-38? That is most definately not true. Having twice the power on an airframe that is only about 20% heavier does have certain advantages. If you lose an engine in the P-38 you still have one to bring you home. Lose an engine in a P-51 or P-47 and....
-
I find that 38's do quite well in low furballs. :)

P-38 is one of the better ground attack planes we have in the game. It's extremely stable as a dive bomber and the guns package is perfect for strafing soft targets. Now, as with all things, your success depends on how good you are in it. Those that tend not to be very good in the Lightning, like yourself, hold the view that it's not very good in the attack roll or in low altitude fights.
The only issue with ground attacks and the P-38 are the bazooka tube launchers on the J and G that increase drag and make the Lighting a little sluggish in turns. That issue is easily compensated for by using a little more rudder to roll the nose over more into the turns.

That nose roll is what makes the game fun when fighting 38's. You get em to do it and they'll spank ya w/ solid American 20's, or you get a chance to make em flop. The latter is less common once you see that delicate dance by a solid 38er. Boo 80th. :D

I expected the primer 38 jocks to argue my points of course. I know you love your plane but there is no doubt that someone coming into the game will do nearly as well.
There are no noobs who can fight it well in a low furball. That takes time and practice and even when you think you've had enough to engage in a low furball for more than a minute or two, you'll find yourself in trouble quick if you don't extend.
There are much better planes for furballing is what I said.
As far as carrying one 1k bomb around looking for another GV to kill or finish of someones hanger, it's a very unstable way to fly a 38.
There are much more stable planes to use if your going to fly those types of missions. I don't care who you are, that plane becomes incredibly unstable having just one 1000 pounder left when in a turn especially a diving one.
The f6, 51,nik and F4U's all fly much more stable having just 1 1000 pounder.
BTW, yes it's true, I'm not very good at dog fighting in a 38. My main use for it is jabo. There I have experience and there is where I truely excel in a 38. It's something I can easily talk about and explain the do's and don'ts of the plane.

For me my one and only was the P-47 for a really long time. Now I have switched to the P-38 as of 01 June 2009 and I am loving it because I am back to the learning phase and reminds how gratifying it is to pull a new trick off. Off topic >>> had a really fun 1 v 1 with ZZee in his TA 152 v my P-38 at about 12k the other day. ZZee won...No suprise there. I can't wait to try a triple Immelman in the 38 during my next encouter online when I got off work.
-
You learn a plane well and it is "the" plane for any job.
Thats what I am getting/aiming at :aok
Looking at the bombs on a 16 it seems the closest to the Spit allrounder but it has no weakness to work round so I am flying the 8 as a fighter/escourt, seafire of the cv and spit 16 jabbo.
The 8 at least has poor secondry guns and weak roll rate.
I admire someone who opts for say a 47 as an allrounder, people do and succeed.
Well I think so anyway.
-
I think your sarcasm detector needs recalibration.
No my shadow, it doesn't.
-
Back in the days when I still flew, I thought of the P-47 as my main ride, just because there were so few of them in the air!
As it turned out, I sucked terribly at flying it :lol

You obviously have not learned the 38. Your wrong on all accounts.
As far as ack and size goes... if your hit your hit. On a 38 you lose an engine your ok.... single engine not.

The German name for the species is "Würger". Metzger-Vogel is the literal translation of "butcher bird" that doesn't exist in German ;)
-
The f6, 51,nik and F4U's all fly much more stable having just 1 1000 pounder.
I can see how the F6F and F4U's may be more "stable" the ordnance is carried much closer to the center line. I don't see how or why the 51 of N1K would be though, I don't pack bombs too often on the 38, when I do I usually drop both because I'm such a bad shot. I'll have to find some GV's to bomb next time I'm up, I'm guessing that the tendency for the plane to roll with an asymmetric load could be trimmed out, and see if it works or not.
As for the 38 being poor at furballing the original statement was not conditioned with "for a beginner", and since the OP's point was to pick a single plane and learn it thoroughly I responded as someone who flies the vast majority of fighter sorties in the 38, and I stand by that remark. :) For a new player I probably wouldn't recommend the 38 for that sortie either.

I am not a P-38 "jock", I don't even like it that much. You're still wrong. I say that as somebody who has tested these things. Want unstable? Try a Ki-61 with one 250kg bomb.
The f6, 51,nik and F4U's all fly much more stable having just 1 1000 pounder.
N1K2-Js cannot carry a 1,000lb bomb. They can carry a couple of 250kg bombs, about 550lbs each.

I am not aiming to tell anyone what to do but it occurs to me the real skill is choosing a plane and learn to fly it well. As in learn to work around its limitations and discover any hidden strenghts. Then exploit the assumptions others make about it to your advantage by surprising people.
I have chosen the spit 16 :rofl
(Actually I have decided to downgrade to the spit 8)
This is all a waste of time. Just try and figure out who the pilot is and none of this will be an issue.
-
I have always advised new squaddies if they are going to learn a new ride to fly it at least for a full tour. (if not 2)
Unfortunately for me as I only get about 10 hrs per tour to fly it would take several tours to really get used to a plane. so I
fly whatever strikes my fancy at the moment, and I never worry too much about dying, it's only a game and I just wanna have fun.
-
You guys barking "Perk the 38" better not have my main ride perked by the time i come back to the game!! :uhoh
-
um yes sir
-
Look me up... training for the 38 is free of charge. I know someone who can do it..........

Yarbles, I have a question for you. Have you found any weakneses, or "hidden strenghs in your plane:confused:(intended to be and inocent, never try to trick you out of revealing you secrets so I [and everyone else who reads this and takes note of what is said here] can shoot you down easier, never commited a wrong, big eyed, sligtely frowny face)? And this is for the guy that said the P51 can out turn any WWII plane (I forget you name, sorry bout that), I can list quite a few that can out turn your P51, such as most if not all Jap planes, the spits, some of the Fw190's unless the have a pretty newb pilot (don't fly that series much if at all and I can't get it to out turn a P51) or the P51 has an ace pilot and I mean a real good pilot. Well see ya :aok.

Most of those that fly the 38 for a mission in the MA tend to auger it on their initial dive, for that reason I'd say the 38 is one of the worst dive bombers in the game for those inexperienced with it.
As for furballing or flying around with 1 bomb at a time, I've been fighting guys in the MA while carrying a DT just to see how well I can do. It is not only flyable, you can fight with stuff still on the rails. The possibility of spinning it in is always there but it is made a little easier with a dual throttle.

Yes, I need to start flying a 51 or a spit so I can keep things interesting, there are so few of them in AH anyway. :devil
One trick ponies do become a bit of a bore after ten years, don't they?
You are short changing yourself, some of the best sticks are those that have a main ride they learned AH in. Dano in his 109G14, Shane in his LA7, Lazer in the P38, and the list goes on and on. Most of the time you can take what you learned from ride to ride but you'll never get close to the edge from someone who uses that ride fulltime. I've been in a 38 for a couple of years and over a few different flight sims and I haven't learned everything this bird can do.

I fly everything, more fun that way. I do like to take up the P40E though. Lots of folks discount those 6 .50 cals. Realy love to kill LA7s with it. Flying just one plane all the time would be boring to me.

Duno Del.. I have a hard time scoring any kills around you. :D Sure have cleared out quite a few bardars with ya tho! :aok

When you learn to push a plane to its extreme limits, it never gets boring. Just to hear someone say "%&$#&%%^ hacker" is definately worth it.

When I used to be big into the 38 (until one night, I guess I just "snapped" and died like every sortie lol), I'd take a 38G, with 1 DT and only 1DT, and either 50% fuel, or 75 depending on where I was going.
Even with 1 DT on, the 38 was still very stable. I don't know the difference with a 1000lb bomb, but IMHO, the 38 was MORE maneuverable with only 1 DT.

Sort of miss those days, once we got our communication down and we weren't doubling up on planes, we used to clean house.
I still say you are the better stick, though.

I'd call it the other way, but I guess we'll have to mess around in the DA sometime this fall! I heard mensa can clean anybody up though. Watch out for that guy!
-
Don't mess with the best :devil
-
I get motivated to learn the plane that I consistantly lose against in a dogfight. I tend to fly at a particular time of day and over time have figured out who the "good" sticks are that tend to fly during the same time of day. I try to fight them whenever I'm in the mood to learn how to fight my plane and how to fight clean. The fun for me is the challenge of trying get on the others guys six for the kill shot. To me nothing is better than to experience a cockpit to cockpit rolling scissors at least once in the fight. I've been flying the F4U1A for about the last 6 months as my main ride.

I disagree withg the premise that people need to do only one thing, ride in only one machine. There are some people who play this game that use one ride and thats all they do.
They become so good in that one ride, with the same two or three proven strong moves over and over again that they actually become a sort of drag to deal with. Also, they develop attitudes of cartoon superiority that are unhealthy for the game overall.
Some people need to expand their repertoire a bit to keep things interesting for themsleves and everyone else, to keep things in perspective, fresh, challenging.
One trick ponies do become a bit of a bore after ten years, don't they?
I think the part of the game that is boring is running up against a player such as yourself that has absolutely no interest in fighting and runs. Just like you did against me in the P-39 the other day in the MW arena. You had altitude and energy advantage and all you would do is run to your base and when I got involved in another fight, you climbed up for some altitude and came back to try and cherry pick, only to end up having your wing removed.
So tell me, what is more boring? The player that flies one plane or the timid player that doesn't like to fight?
Those that think that there is something wrong with dedicating oneself to flying one plane are the ones with the problem.

That was a sweet shot akak. I really didnt think you would pull in tight enough while nosing down and inside like that but just before the rounds landed I lost sight of you in the corner of the view and I thought to myself....that bastard is gonna nail me. Sure enough, one short sweet burst.
I hope that your return to the game finds you in better spirits than when you left. You were constantly complaining and belittling other players (yeah, myself included) for not playing the game up to your standards.
Welcome back and Good luck <S>!

...................become a bit of a bore after ten years, don't they?
I think that's up for the individual to decide for themselves, don't you?

decide what? whether they themselves agree with my opinion or not? Sure. Why wouldn't they decide for themselves? Perhaps I do not understand your premise....

Shouldn't each person decide if they are bored or not?

I've chose the FW-190 since like AW1 days, no way anyoen going to make me change my mind=)

Certainly. I think its more of an awareness of boredom that comes to a player rather than a decision that is reached at some conclusion. But each individual is unique. Perhaps the awareness is merely the first step that leads to a decision that allows one to conclude they are bored..... hasn't happened to you yet?

I'll tell ya whats boring! It's logging in and seeing 3 large HORDE dars, 1 nit, 1 rook, 1 bish each flooding an enemy base and the balance of the map void except for the occasional tool shedder! <---Now that's boring!

Yes, there are times I become bored of the game. I take a month or three off now and then. I am not gifted with great talent so I become rusty rather quickly.

I was wondering. I remember you from early on being a 51 toon when we only had a dozen rides or so to choose from.
I love the 51D but rarely find myself in the LW to play with one. As it is I end up playing two or three different rides everytime I log on, my interest wanes so quickly ;)

I tend to fly solo into big darbars and this keeps me interested. The 51 gives me at least a chance to get a kill or two and have a chance to survive. It's the challenge of the lopsided numbers that I really enjoy. I don't pretend that it's all me when I get a kill or three and slip away, I understand this has much to do with the plane. :aok
