ok lets go,
Yes, i am an high alt monkey, a cherry picker, there no better feeling of diving in with 480mph, 1 second blazing guns, BOOM, zoom out waiting for the next one :x
High alt Monkeys, your move now!
P.S. mud crawlers and tank driver, please stay out of this thread, we need psycho therapy silence here :lol

hiho Panos,
yes, i remember you very well from last evening, the B&Z show at 77 was a blast, wasn't it?
-
I know people say the defintion of "Picker" hass changed alot lately but I know the bad version to be someone who will kill a guy who is already getting ganged but flys in at 450 from out of nowhere to steal kill from guys actually doing the work low with the enemy. BNZ is a valid tactic especially in some of the situations when Joker Jokers are hording over a field :D

Doesn't surprise me, after all, what are effective wingman tactics but organized picking? ;)
As for me, I fly the D9. Nuff said. :devil

As for diving in to kill someone who is already being ganged, I look at it from a team perspective. I would probably be better serving my team staying high and out of the fight and covering my friends from enemy pickers than diving in trying to get the kill.
So no, I generally don't do what you've mentioned, Junky.

I am not a picker, I prefer "vertical engagement pilot"! :D

Thats what I try to tell people who do it, glad to see some people still have brains in this game :D :salute

noooo thats not my intention,
coming down from 22k, killing the climber who went just through the clouds at 16k is the biggest fun. doing so, i was l alot of times called cherry picker , alt monkey and much more, i was closed to get depressive :D
i dont shot at smokers or stuff

well said, youre welcome

All depends on your point of view.
What is smart flying and good wingman tactics from one side becomes cherry picking and hording from the other.
Long & the short of it is everyone dies. If you died you made a mistake, someplace. Look for it, accept it, learn from it, and move on.
Planes are free, grab a new one and try again.

i dove into a fight doing about 480 once or twice. unfortunately, the p38j compresses at around 425.
i made a really big cartoon hole in the cartoon ground. :noid

ok, so my idea is, go along this shining path my brother, you will get a helping hand here, take a 38L and use the dive brakes
let the flashing guns give you a bit satisfaction

i can't. i fly mw, and the L isn't available there.

He couldn't, even if he would fly inlate war. The L has no dive brakes. ;)

We would if they had em, but they don't have em. :huh

Here comes that 51 again (Yawn). A quick maneuver and he's on his way to find a less aware pilot. A good Check 6 and SA.... priceless.
I didn't know there was air above 10k until the MOM missions! :D
I don't have the patience for the climb. But enjoy the Fruits of your Labor.

Ever flown a 38L in AH? The "brakes" do not slow you down in any way.
From the very same thread:
the dive recovery flaps generate no drag whatsoever. I know that sounds very odd, but I have tested it with CT on and with CT off; trimmed for hands off flight. Trimmed level at 288 mph... Speed constant. Dump the recovery flaps and there is no speed change, even after several minutes. What they do is cause induced drag by pitching the nose up. However, the flap "boards" themselves don't seem to have any drag associated with them.
My regards,
Widewing

excuse me, i was wrong, well i am not a SAPP member, didnt spend too much time in an 38, maybe i must change that :cool:

hhmm....dive brakes............
me thinks it might be time to try picking in a ju88

Well sounds like you are an alt monkey. Killing someone who is climbing out and is not engaged is not picking, however.
-
Pickers, Vulchers, Ho'ers, Tards, Noobs, Dweebs, whatever you call everything..............
Here is the truth. Every last one of us complain when it happens to us, yet we all have done it.
Why can't we just accept the fact that these things happen in our AH world. RL ain't a Sunday Morning either.

There are no dive brakes on any of the P-38s.

The ground serves as a tremendous dive brake for all P38 models. :(

what i was talking about the P38L was the dive flaps, they jsut makes it more controable for me, i can dive with 480 mph easy, dive flaps in, full control! i named it wrong because the keys shift C are the same like dive brakes at other birds!

I do that in the J. ;)

I used to fly the L a whole lot. Nothing wrong with it at all. It actually has a quicker roll.
I just like the J skins better and have no need for the boosted controls.
Most of the folks you see in Ls these days have it dressed to the nines with ords.

I'm all of the above. Our unit flies high, we train in thin air and we've been called some of the best names in the book but you know what? Who cares, at the end of the day it's all for the love of the game and the immersion factor we get engaging as a unit instead of lone wolfs and you can't beat it.

I got an email today in which a consultant with whom I am working suggested that we " 'cherry pick' the most pragmatic customers" at an upcoming trade fair. I couldn't help but laugh pretty loud in my office.

It's not the dive flaps that is allowing you to remain in control at those speeds since the dive flaps themselves will not change your speed. If you reported that your plane keeps pitching nose up in a dive then you know that's from the dive flaps.

<<-- 190A8, I fly it based upon its in game capabilities. It forces me to be conservative with E, Plan ahead prior to engaging, and forces a total SA comprehension.
Majority of my kills are on unsuspecting victims from the rear. I will avoid a co alt fight with just about anything, and will run from a dot on the horizon if its above me and it doesnt show friendly on the radar. I get more personal enjoyement out of returning to base in 1 piece with 1 or 2 kills rather than dying in a blaze of glory with 5 kills under my belt in a furball.
I also get alot of enjoyement out of keeping a vocal SA in local since I tend not to dive in to much.
If I want to TnB, I prefer the F4F A6M5 and some Spit Variants (my wingman makes me <S>A8Hunter).
But mostly I can be found in the hybrid, the 190A4, lets me do a little of both.

Just don't be mad when I HO you :lol

just offtopic, why not the L Version?
For me, it's a historical thing tied with the squadron I've been a member of since AW days. The 479th went to war in the P-38J so that's the plane I choose to fly and its great that there are two 479th P-38J skins to choose from. One of the good things about flying in a historical squadron that flew multiple plane types is if I ever want to down grade and fly a P-51D there is a 479th skin for that plane too but I'll never see myself in a Mustang, after all, why drink Thunderbird when I can drink Dom Pérignon?
