Title: What?
Post by: Rich46yo on July 23, 2009, 04:52:16 AM: What airplane are you best in? Not "whats your favorite", but, "what are you best in"?

Maybe not even necessarily the one you score best in.

Post by: Vudak on July 23, 2009, 10:20:41 AM: It depends... My friends' best chance of having me clear them comes when I'm in a Mossie. I think my best chance of surviving until someone clears me is in a Corsair.

i wish i could fly that plane.

maybe when i feel comfortable in any situation in my 38 o deth, i'll give it a try......still think the 38 is beautiful, and that's enough reason to fly her though...... :D

I finally upped a ME-262 the other day and kilt somthing with it. The 4 30mms are indeed fearsome. One is bad enough but 4? Even the one in the K-4 gets your attention.

My best are the ones that have some B&Z and some T&B. Like the Yak-9u or LA-7. While I like the K-4 I havnt spent much time in it tho it probably would end up being my 'best" Luftwaffe.

And imagine... the Me 262 has only the MK 108, the smaller low velocity cousin of the MK 103, which would have the devastating hitting capability and at the same time superb ballistics.

The only German 30mm gun we have in the game is the MK 108. The MK 103 was comparatively rare in fighters as it was extremely heavy, had heavy recoil and as I understand was unreliable.

It would be awesome in game though... like a 1-hit-kill Hispano. The Me 410 carried a couple in certain configurations IIRC.
