Title: What is your nemesis?
Post by: 321BAR on November 29, 2010, 11:22:07 AM
Ok so here goes with another what is thread for me and for once its out of the OClub :P

Name your bird and state what other bird and/or pilot is specifically the one thing that gives you the challenge of a lifetime in a 1vs1 or more.

If anyone doesnt know that my bird is the P51B then dont even think about posting here! :neener: kidding naturally :aok

and the one plane that has ALWAYS given me a headache in a dogfight is the blasted 109G-14/109K-4. :furious

Remember... this thread doesnt mean the one plane/pilot you cant shoot down, it means the one that is your enemy that is near equal to you that always gets you rubbed the wrong way :aok

Ki 84 gives me the most trouble when im in my k4 because imo its way more maunverable than the k4 plus it can climb with it aswell.

If there's an LA5 or LA7 anywhere near me I get focused on trying to kill it.  I can't fly em and I can't live around them.  That's why when we had one in the AVA setup a week or so ago I gave it a night full of sorties.

Special K4 against my P-47D-25. Better off just not to fight but run away from it if possible.   :frown:

Brewsters. Turn on a dime and tough as nails. Had a guy this morning continually turn in and HO me followed by a collision (3X). This isn't a big deal, it was a hotly contested battle and these things happen. Problem is, my F4U went down every time, while he flew away. Come to think of it I haven't won a collision in quite some time.

It all makes sense now, the collision and damage model are my nemesis'.
Caps too.
ENY as well.
Don't forget laser guided buff guns.
People that lag are a pain.
Oh, I just hate the turn radius of the 190.
Let's not forget.... <walks off mumbling something about F3 mode> :neener:

Well, I have started to fly more and more support sorties for GV's ie Spotting other tanks for them, droping my two bombs (and missing all the time)  and also covering them from enemy attack bombers, and have found many new threats to me that I havent had in the air before, M16's and wirbles are a supprise some times, but the worst is osties as far as AAA as I can be flying low leveled out and then getting hit by a 37mm shell from 4k out, also, I am encountering new air threats aswell, as I am spotting tanks, enemy cons start out above me 90% of the time but it is also making me even better at starting out fights with a dissadvantage


my ride is the La-5FN btw :) (Until HTC gives me an La-5  :devil )

Hate Tiff's and Temps and Jugs. Pretty much anything that BnZ's then "extends" to come back from 2k with another HO.  :mad:

Usually justified by "I always HO Brews" / "It takes 2 to HO" / "Well, you don't expect me to turn fight with you, do you? :headscratch:

I cannot fly any....A N Y German iron.  I can't shoot with them, I can't land them, I can't fly them. (I can't shoot them down very well either.....especially directly on their 6 and co- alt...low profile little beeeyatches).  I die fine against them though

Brewsters I find hard to deal with...especially with a good stick controlling it...it's bad enough with a new comer...I find for me though any plane with the right stick is my main nemesis....I now have the philosophy of treating each plane as the stick that gives me the most grief in it..there are many but there is always the standout guy with each ride..38G or is it the J...anycase I don't care about the L so much  well all know that one...P39 chewi... F4U dadrabit etc etc...this list goes on my list is probably different and should be for others....but as stated in the beginning.....the one I hate the most is the brewster ...my ride just can't get away from the things in a co E state and with a good stick next to no chance of survival for me.

Typhs and Temps, cant fly'em, cant fight'em. For some reason everytime i see one, i think "here we go, trip to the tower" and for some reason, it usually  happens exactly that way.  Not sure why  :headscratch:

When I'm in a g14, the corsairs, they are better than I am fast and slow, if I miss the opportunity for a shot in between its sad for shamus. If in a ki84 they are only better fast, works out better most times.

 In a world where all pilots are equal i fear the la7, yak9u, 109k, spits (9)(8)(16)(14), ki84, p47m, and p38j.

In the real world I fear P39q, P40, 109e, p47d11, P38g, and Ki61s: Thinking that only the wiliest of bastards would even dare in one of these.

I'm also gun shy with certain rides because of specific individuals associated with them. I fear the p38j because AKAK or Delirium might be in one, any 262 when grizz is online, and for some reason Tongs gets me every time in his ki61 regardless of any advantage that I have.  When I see one of these I look first at the roster to see who is in the MA before committing to the fight. Only in the absence of certain individuals do I engage certain plains.  :uhoh :bolt:

My bird is the Zero. Hate the P-51's. Not because they shoot me down but because they simply don't fight. They dive on me like a pesky gnat, miss, then run back to their 12K perch. Kind of sad really...

When I fly the zeke, I always have a problem with F4U's.
When I fly the 109 or 190, it is always those dang Brewsters or another 109/190

When I GV, everything kills me, no one thing.  :lol

I highly recommend fighting them rather than running away. Even if you know you're going to lose the fight, don't turn away. The valuable thing, here, is that you learn from those fights. Running away from a fight doesn't teach you anything. If you ever wondered how they got that good, it is because they don't back down from a fight.

What is my nemesis? I don't really have one. The only exception is those who run from a fight. I don't mind the pickers, ho'ers, gangers, etc... no matter what plane they're in. I die all the time, so I would rather get shot down and re-up than to have to fly all the way back to base to land. And I usually end up ditching or augering most of the time instead. Saves me time that way. :)

Anything that hits hard. One mistake and it's over...Yak, 109's w/ 30mm tater, Jugs w/ 8 X MG, Hurri IIc & Tiffie/Typhoon, etc. Against lighter armed planes you can still recover if you give up a fleeting snap shot and win, against the heavy hitters you're in the tower.

That's because the F4U can fly from BnZ to Zeke mode with it's uber flaps.

My nemesis was put best in John Waynes last movie "The Shootist"

"Gillom Rogers: Bat Masterson told Cobb...
John Bernard Books: [Interrupts] Bat Masterson?
Gillom Rogers: Yeah, he said that a man has to have guts, deliberation and a proficiency with fire arms.
John Bernard Books: Did he mention that third eye you better have?
Gillom Rogers: Third eye?
John Bernard Books: For that dumbarse amateur. There's always some six-fingered bustard that couldn't hit a cow in the teet with a tin cup. That's the one who usually does you in."

Its the "dumbarse amature" that my 3rd eye didnt pick up

If I'm in LANCs my nemesis is anything with cannons or 50cals. 

If I'm in a Zeke, Fuel Fire is my nemesis.

If I'm in a P47, Gravity is my nemesis.

If I'm in a Goon, that LA7 that went searching for me is my nemesis.

If I'm in a Spitfire, American Metal is my nemesis.

If I'm upping in defence of a field, the vHorders are my nemesis.

If I'm flying anything else, my own SA and ACM are my own worst enemies.  :lol

I like to fly the f4u 1a and the spit nine. I'm most comfortable with them.

Nemesis to many to list.  But I do remember getting shagged by some guy named bluekitty once. It sticks in by brain because I just got done killing skyrock for the first time thinking im some bad prettythang and along comes this spit 9 and I remember merging and thinking this guy is already 10 moves ahead of me. The next thing I remember is Bluekitty shot you down, totally demoralizing   :rock

I am sure your right.  I usually will give them one or two more kills after I find out the hard way who they are . If I am killed by the same guy three times in a row I feel like I'm stinking up the place or boring my opponent. Then I salute and go elsewhere.  There are exceptions of course but I don't run once engaged as a rule. I agree that running is a cheap way to deny a superior foe.    :uhoh: :bolt:
