I realise least talent to get kills goes to probably in this order:
1) LA7
2) Nikki
3) Spit 16
And really any Uber turn plane like Zero or Brewster if you can get some newb to try and turn with you in anything else.
Least Dweeb though Spit 14 I reckon cos we all know its not at all easy to fly but still got a 1.9 Kill to death in tour 115. So whoever was flying generally had some skill and or talent is my logic. ;)
-
Take issue with the least "dweeby" plane being a late war monster that cost perks....
First and foremost any plane in the game is capable of being either depending on the pilot.
In terms of performance I would go with the Spitfire Mk1, P-40B or 109E, not counting the D3A.
Strip
-
Among aircraft classified as fighters the least dweeby is unequivocally the P-40B. It's slow, turns like molasses, can't climb, and has weak firepower. 'Nuff said.
-
If we think in terms of least dweeby "competitive main arena" plane, I'll go with the P51B. :D
-
In the right hands the P-51B is a monster....arguably even better than its younger cousin in some areas.
-
I should have explained better I meant
Least likely to be being flown by a dweeb
This is different from hardest to get kills in. I see where your posts are coming from though :salute
I think that bearing in mind the plane is so hard to master and it still get close to 2;1 kill ration and is very unlikely to be bombing GV'S
Well there it is ;)

Out of your top 3 planes only the 16 should be on there.
I don't see very many La-7s or nikkis out there.
Don't think you put much thought into that "top 3' list, because if you did the Punkstang and 190s would have been listed as #1 and 2.

Surely their are degrees of dweebery.
The dweeb ups the easiest plane in the game gets some kills using the planes supperior qualities and then considers himself a superior pilot. His dweebishness reflects his lack of skill and knowledge combined with is penchant for self deception. He is naturally attracted to planes easy to out fly his opponents in like the 16, La7 and Nikki. They are of the point a squirt variety. They reward skill and finnese but are most forgiving of ham fisted oafery :)
The first time the Dweeb gets in the 14 is usually the last. He finds Oafery ruthlessly punished BY THE 14 while he is hunted mercilesly to deprive him of his perks BY paks of other dweebs who see the 14 as easy meat and are intent of depriving him of his perks.
-
Whether they actually ARE the least dweebish to fly or not I think most "new" players will psychologically be drawn to the P51 and the Spit. Mainly because our North Ameican/Wesern European culture has built those 2 up to be the "saviors" of WWII : the Battle of Britain-Spit and the Strategic Air war over Germany-P51. Also they are pretty forgiving in flight for those who are new to this. Those Flight Models that require more skill will quickly be left in favour of the easier to fly/learn on types.
I wouldn't put the La7 or Nikki in that easy to fly well class either (nor 190's/P40's etc etc). P38 might also be a good bet for a newbie with it's lack of torque and centre line main gunnery.
Just MHO.
cheers eh!

I agree the Spit is a great begginers plane because you can kill stuff sooner with less skill.
It Turns, It Climbs, It accelerates, Lethal gun package, good e retention and recovery, predictable at the stall with godd visibility. Anything goes :aok
"The best close in fighter" (Johnnie Johnson) in the allied camp. (Not the 14 its virtually a new plane in its characteristics no where near as well balances as the others)
51 is no turner and that is where most start and the guns need more than a couple of hits.
-
I got accused of flying a "Dweeb Plane" when I shot down a Brewster with my 1A in Beta. :D
-
P-39D because I like to fly it, and if it's not dweeby I can feel smug and good about myself when I get a kill in it. :D

the three i just added, are all much easier to fly than what was originally listed.
-
Which is dweebier? Upping an LA-7 when 20 cons roll in, in a raid. Outnumbering you 10 to 1. Or upping a Brewster and flying to the next sector over, where the color is all green, in order to vulch upp some easy perk points?
So I shoose dweeby planes by the way they are flown and not by their eny. In that regard the pick and run FW-run90s and NA P-51 run-stang are tops for dweebyness. They are the biggest stick stirrers as well.
-
In the spirit of nonDweeb status, I commit myself to no longer fly the Hurri IIc, Zeke5b, N1K2J, LALA or any Spit above a Spit V, and shall make my new (semi)full-time ride the P-38J. :D
(and A20 when the toolshedder dweebs take down the FH)

Stuka,

Light. ;)
As far as "fighters" go:
P-40 B
C .202 (though admittedly, I love this bird and its 2 crappy 12.7s :aok)
190 F8 for anything other than BnZing furballs
Hurri 1 against anyone with a brain (hint - don't try and turn with it)
Arguably a D25 Jug, since it doesn't have the engine of the N or the agility of the 11. That being said, still a capable bird.

Agreed I just wanted to work out which planes were least and most likely to contain a Dweeb for some reason :frown: I cant remember why.
My hypothesis was essentially sound though and no one wnats to refute it.
Spit 14 is tuff to kill in (unstable gun platform) and vulnerable to be horded. Also unstable down low but stilll kills nearly 2 for 1. People flying it must be generally reasonably skillfull as it hardly justifies any cost in perks yet it is nearly always 10 or more.

Yeh, I've been flying it on and off for a while, when I really feel like lowering my K/D back to a point where no one takes me seriously! :lol
Started flying it a lot more in the last week or so, and as long as I can delay doing something dumb I can usually score (on average) 2-3 kills, before doing something dumb and getting killed. Landed 4 in it a few nights ago on one sortie, which for a newb like me I think isn't bad. :uhoh Most time, though, folks turn me into aluminum confetti as I can't seem to make myself stay out of the turning furball (must....break...zeke.... habits....).

For those who are interested :
My 1st dweebry flight in an experimental craft with tricycle landing gear - excellent loop ability. :aok

Dont really think you can declare a "least dweeby plane." However, I do harbor a degree of E-respect for those who fly unconventional and/or early/mid-war fighters in the LWMA.
Those that come to mind are the 38's, 190A's, 109's and underutilized varients of more popular airplanes such as the 51B, 47D-11/25, etc, etc.
I typically find that those aircraft give the best fights because they are typically driven by players who have been around a while and want a little bit more of a challenge.

If we think in terms of least dweeby "competitive main arena" plane, I'll go with the P51B. :D
I agree 100% :D

I don't see very many La-7s or nikkis out there.
We must fly different arenas, I see more N1ks than almost any other plane other than spits and p51ds.

Least Dweeby = P40
Most flown dweebishly = nikki, hurri, spit16
I do agree I've seen less lala's but thats probably what time I'm on the game. IMO

I'd have to agree on the Yak 9T. I also e-respect guys who go looking for dogfights in the earlier 109s like the F4, G2/6, P40b and so forth.
A plane I go into and out of phases in is the KI-61. It's actually not that bad at all, really. It's got two 20mm cannons in the nose and the machine-guns in the wings, which is bass ackwards but of course works great. The KI-61 isn't a dweeb plane at all (unless you do nothing but HO in it), but works very well in capable hands.
-
C-47
-
my vote goes for the C202
-
Perhaps I am mistaken but i always thought of the 109F4 as a nondweeby plane. I have to agree the p40b is the #1 in least dweeby, closely followed but the 110c
-
The least dweeby I would think are the planes you never fly, or fly the least! :aok
The most "UBER DWEEBY" are those that are flown exclusively :x
If you fly a plane exclusively for years knowing every little detail, then you truely are a "bottom feeder" of the 1st order :aok :x
-
as has aleardy been said, the only dweeby or non dweeby planes are those that are flown in dweeby or non-dweeby ways.

Not a lot of dweebyness occurs with the I-16; in fact I'd venture to say it is dweeb-proof, modified by the fact that any plane can be crashed in this game by anyone.

The least dweeby fighters are the P-40s, P-39s, SBD, C2's, Ki-61s, and the F4Us, minus the D as it is an ord mule and the -4, as it is frakking fast. I leave out the -1C as it may be cannon armed, but feels just as heavy as that D, but with a better ammo load and is more difficult to fly well than the -4.
I love my 40E and 51B when I am not in my -1. And the SBD is great for fighting tanks and then IL-2s when you drop your 500lb bomb.

To prove my point:
1) Spit 14 has no bomb so virtually all kills are air kills
2) Kill ratio 2 to 1
3) If you have flown the 14 you will know no dweeb could achive this in the 14.
The spit 14 pilot is not a Dweeb :)

Super fun.

In the end, only one plane will survive and come out heads and shoulders above the rest as least dweeby. The C-47.
-
Least dweeby? Whatever the opposite of the 262 and Tempest are.
Seriously.... ultimate dweebyness is a Tempy or 262 picking a furball and running.... oh, I'm sorry, extending..... instead of that toon pilot upping a non-uber ride and showing some skills other than "look Ma, I can BnZ!"

I didnt find bounce that easy to start with even now if the turn plane sees you coming in you have to be quite a good shot to get a kill.

I flew the B-25H as my "fun ride" last tour, my K/D ratio was just under 3.0, all A2A kills.

the end of last tour, i came upon a 109 coalt, we merged, i made my move, expecting to see him maneuvering for the kill.
nope. he was 1.5 from me and in a shallow dive. i couldn't catch him.
few minutes later, i get an fw....2 bnz passes, and he goes away. the whold dam night, they all fought as if someone was gonna kill em for real if they lost their cartoon airplanes. :rolleyes:

One can "WORK" to play the game or just "play the game".
The scoring system means nothing since folks who don't really test themselves can be ranked as high or higher than folks who test themselves daily. Someone sitting on a perch in a LW ride at the edge of a fight and getting kills may think they are really good, but are they? No one, not even that person actually knows for sure as they are rarely if ever tested.

I agree 110% Cap, that's my beef with the 262 and Tempy dweebs. I mean, c'mon. BnZ picking off people from the edge of a furball when they're engaged with multiple cons. How pitifully dweeby. If they're getting down'n'dirty and mixing it up with the cons that's altogether different, but you rarely see that.
I die a lot more than a "fraidy-cat BnZer," but there's nothing better/more fun/challenging than furballing. Makes it that much more rewarding when you can land the kills, you know you earned them.
-
If you have no issues with what people fly, then why this comment?
ack-ack
Well I believe the op intended "less dweeby" as in harder to fly by some margin. Therefore IF one should fly a plane exclusively ehem, it seems to me that that some-one is flying more dweeby and having an EASIER time at it then say some-one who bounces from plane to plane! :aok
In fact in my own experience just in gunnery alone there is a huge difference in my accuracy when changing rides often. Now take into account the very real differences in flight abilities of different rides. IF you spend all your time in 1 ride then your timing, aim, feel and general ability in said ride is greatly improved over those who "change it up" a bit. So if you fly 1 ride only then IMO you fly "MORE DWEEBY" Hence it is EASIER for you than for those who do not!! :aok

The real dweeb is the guy who changes planes immediately after getting shot down, out of what he got killed in and into something that he thinks he would have had a better chance in during the previous fight....only to be killed by someone else in a different type of fight...and he then changes planes again...

And really any Uber turn plane like Zero or Brewster if you can get some newb to try and turn with you in anything else.
Least Dweeb though Spit 14 I reckon cos we all know its not at all easy to fly but still got a 1.9 Kill to death in tour 115. So whoever was flying generally had some skill and or talent is my logic. ;)
Let me know when you really wish to find out what a "Non-HO, pick, etc" La7 is capable of. The La7 is not easy to fly, when the majority of players haven't a clue of it's intricacies.
-
. The La7 is not easy to fly,
:huh
you're a dweeb in whatever you fly.
Yes, we are all dweebs. The closest thing to a dweeb plane are the dweebfires but this moniker traces back to hallowed antiquity of flight sims when less plane choices were available.
It doesn't matter what plane one flies. Simply by flying a cartoon plane, one is a dweeb. Do not disregard our storied past; remember the Book of Dweeb.

The la-7 is not as dweeby IMO as a spit. The only way it could be used dweeby is the BnZ.
-
:huh
Ask your squaddie sads about that. Sads and I have always been on the "same page" when it comes to the "La7 haters". My statement still stands as well.
-
I agree that the La-7 is not one of the easiest aircraft to fly. The muzzle velocity of the cannon is about 100m/s less than the Hispano; the slats cause some issues; you have to manage your throttle and rpm's to do more than buzz around your own airfield. Of course, it's a performance monster, but not one a mediocre pilot can be effective in (Zazen's sense of the word).

WFT Anax?
Now if you are trying to use it for close maneuvering fights with Spits or Corsairs*, that might be kind of hard, although not the challenge that trying to out-turn them in practically any other LW plane is.
But why would you when you can simply use it against all the planes it out-runs, out-climbs, out-accelerates and grossly-out-turns without difficulty? Pull in behind, pull back a little throttle to stay in the turn, get decently close and punt away with what IS lethal, nose-mounted firepower. Anything more maneuverable can be engaged with more conservative tactics or avoided with reasonable ease.
And fuel management? Easy as pie. Pull the RPMs down to about 2200, you'll have ~25 minutes of fuel and performance basically like a P-47D going balls to the wall, and have access to full power at the touch of a WEP button.
*Oh, btw, the La7 sustains a higher rate of turn than the unperked Corsairs. So a sustained nose-to-tail turning fight is in fact VERY winnable for the Lakovichin if it has the time engage the Corsair uninterrupted.

Ask your squaddie sads about that. Sads and I have always been on the "same page" when it comes to the "La7 haters". My statement still stands as well.
I don't hate the la7, I eat it up. It's faster than anything that out turns it, and it out turns anything that is faster than it. What's so hard about flying it?
-

I like this! :aok

The La7's TnB performance is overrated. It takes about 10 years to drop full flaps, by that time your as good as dead against any of the dedicated late war TnB planes. It also takes about a good 20 years to roll the La7 with full flaps.

Yep but I do have admit there were some like Shane that could make the La7 dance on the head of a pin.
ack-ack

I'm sure Shane's a stud.

Ruaml wasn't bad in the La7 either.

Ah...sounds like a certain someone has a little envy. :rofl

Why TnB against a plane you can out E and out run?

What about the P-39? Not even a teeny weeny D3A1?
-

What plane are you in?
-
Ruaml wasn't bad in the La7 either.
On more than one occasion, he headed straight for me, only to turn less than 2k in front of me and Auto grab. I never saw him in an La7.
-

what does it matter? The comparison was against a TnB plane
-
P38G
P38L gets all of the toolshed dweebs
:aok

Hehe.. I'm not making it up :)The La7's TnB performance is overrated. It takes about 10 years to drop full flaps, by that time your as good as dead against any of the dedicated late war TnB planes. It also takes about a good 20 years to roll the La7 with full flaps.
It's one of the only top-end planes that so easily reaches flap speed while pushing WEP in a flat turn.

I was replying to BnZ's post about the La7's TnB performance.

its not the plane's that show a dweeb, its the pilot that points a finger at anyone for flying any plane, there are no dweeb plane's, they are all fun.
fun is what we are here for, and the folks that feel because they are more , cough cough skillful in and particule plane, call others dweebs.
another issue is the person that pulls maunevers that can't really be done in RL is a cheater, i.e. stick stir, and other stupid move's.
if u try and defend doing this only shows u can't fly, :lol

As stated already, it’s not the plane but the pilot and how they use the plane.
Example: I fly the Temp a lot... I absolutely hate BnZ and will not do it. I would much rather be in a turn fight low and slow on the deck, but I turn fight the Temp and push it to its max. I may extend a while, but I WILL turn back in unless I’m damaged badly and I’m RTB-ing or I have no ammo. I know what it can and can’t do and use it to my advantage. Does that make me a Dweeb? If so why and then tell me how what you do is different and how your not a dweeb.
If a Dweeb is someone who knows their plane in and out and uses it to their advantage, what is a real fighter pilot then? You don’t see pilots flying more than one type of plane in RW at the same time… so why cant someone pick a plane and learn it in here? Thats one of the reasons why America was so successful in WW2 because all of our pilots knew how to use their planes effectively. They knew what their planes could and couldn't do, along with their enemy's.
Dweeb to me is someone who takes the easy way out instead of trying to use/develop their skill. So that would be all your hoers and BnZers. Anyone can ho and anyone can BnZ. There is nothing special about it. Just because these practices were used a lot in RW, doesn’t mean they should be here. In RW it was a real life or death situation, here you can just re-up.

Shane was damn good in the LA. Best I've seen in the time I've been here.
His specialty seemed to be to force the overshoot. Then make you pay for overshooting. Often within mere moments of the overshoot.

Everyone who plays this game is a dweeb. Flying a temp alot just makes you a sissy too. :lol

Steve, your a bad man, I now have to clean my desk and laptop at work - Shane is a great, fun fight - and a gentleman to boot (I've never beaten him yet, and don't see him regularly enough to keep trying - ie, get yer backside back in game Shane)

Too funny! :rofl Glad that I don't fly the Tempest to often!
-
I never thought of the La-7 to be tremendously "easy mode".
I agree, Shane is one of the best in the La.
He's in fact probably the only "good" La stick.
-
Ruaml was good too, when he wasn't .. in an altered state of mind. Tilt is also good in the Laffers... I think it was Furious who also knew them pretty well.

I am a sissy. :cool:

and how is that?
i fly the temp in the DA because nothing matters in there, i fly f6f or f4u in MA...

Are you kidding? Everything matters in the DA, especially score. Just ask any of the regulars.

Welcome to Aces High.
He made perfect sense, I see planes fly here doing things that are impossible in real life flying but I accept
it because it is a game.
