THAT PLANE SUX !

New Guy! :D

LOL!
Point him to the CA.. plenty of spits fightin historical adversarys... love to hear his opinion of the G10 there. :)

Spit Fire, for the most part all I fly is the 51, and I have Spits, La5's, La7's, N1k's, P-38's, P-47's, P-51's, Me109's, FW190's, Typhoons, and Tempests all running away. The poor zekes don't run, but even if they did who would notice? :D
It doesn't matter what you fly when you run out of options you can run. Usually, the 51 is the one that gets away, and that's why you have singled it out. ;)
:cool:
-
P-51d is best aircraft in the game bar none.
if you fly it right you will never get shot down.
-
A few absoulutes there need adjustin Fester, 'ol pal. :)
But; outside a few minor details like a fiberglass tail; a one ping engine, the rather annoying occasional LA7, G10, Tempest or Dora and excluding tactical situations that reguire you actually fight in it to save a wingie, protect a buff or take an objective, I'd be inclined to agree.
:D
-
ok fine hangtime.
after 150+ kills in the p-51 your luck may run out and you may get shot down.
maybe

Take one out for a tour Spit Fire.
She turns on a dime, does verticals at 150,
and those 50,s, talk about fire power :)
Oh yea, forgot to mention, untouchable in HO's.

I usually find my luck runs out a LOT sooner than that.
But; that's just me. :)

With the altitude that is most commonly fought at, a LA7 will eat a 51’s lunch any day of the week. Depending on the pilots of course. Equal skill, altitude, and E, the LA7’s gonna take it.

If flying around the arena with alt looking for victims to dive in on is flying it 'right' then you're probably correct. However, most pilots would fall asleep and auger loooong before the 150 kills.
If you fly it into engagements at 10k, it's hardly untouchable.

Thats why any p51 pilot worth anything wont fight an la7 below 5k, cause he will loose. Ditto for a p51 pilot who turns with a spitfire, or a p51 pilot who trys to climb with a 109, blah blah blah blah blah...
"I NEVER met a Mustang in ACESHIGH who stayed to fight my SPITFIRE !"
LOL, i've never meet a spitfire that can keep up with a mustang... :rolleyes:
-
I've met a few Mustangs that stayed to fight with my Spitfire.
They were crunchy! :D
-
Id give good money to know which one of you tards is spit fire :D
-
as for the zekes not running and who would notice well I have killed more spits in a zero then anything else because they think they can turn with me. Then I hit them with the 2 20mm and the 7.7mm mg and 13mm mg and they go boom or spiral into the ground.
Hodo

I have to agree with Hodo. Don't ever underestimate the power of a Zeke. It may be somewhat slow at times, and compress at slower speeds than most, but I have found the power of the Zeke about a month ago. That little thing is like a dam Poodle. It will tear your ankles away antill you bleed to death or fall into the ground :p
-
If you don't want them to run, fly a faster plane!!! ;)
Gunner <CAF>

Booky; I take it you've never grabbed an annoying poodle by the scruff of the neck and punted the damn thing out a window.
Zekes can be quickly and efficently dealt with if you hold an alt/speed advantage, and keep it. Effectivly punting them out the window. D:
-
Ya ever owned a predator type fish? Like a Piranha? If ya have the ya know about having to buy "feeder" goldfish for it.
That is how I see poodles and other small lapdogs, as "feeders" for real dogs like retrievers and sheperds.
Kinda sums up the surviveability of the zekes in the current planeset don't it? :D

Geesh! 22 posts and he's an expert at judging a Pony? My Pony won't run away, but it might extend until "I" feel the fight will continue...at my advantage ;)

As a small aside, I always wondered about this catch 22. We are supposed to search to see if a topic has been brought up before, yet we are not supposed to bring it back to the forefront of discussion. So what is the correct course of action?

i say start a new thread and the hell with the "use search button" dweebs

It isn't really a catch 22. If you do a search for the topic, then most likely whatever answer you need will be in the old thread, and there is no reason to start another.
If your particular flavor of question isn't answered by browsing old threads, then a new topic is the way to go -- and best of all, you can put in your initial post that you have learned x and y, but that does not seem to answer your question z, and thus preemptively shut up the "search button" morons.
