Title: Planes that you do really well in?
Post by: Tupac on April 12, 2011, 12:31:59 AM
Mine would be the F6F, F4U, and P51

Probably the best of mine is f6f, as I have a 13-0 k/d in it this tour

That's scary if you only call yourself decent. My best plane is the B25H. Fear the 75mm HE pain. Plus, I don't have to out fly people and can just use the tail guns for getting kills  :D.

I fly the P-51D mostly, I hunt bombers first then fighters second. I also fly the F4u1-A and D, P-47D-40, I rarely fly a Spit of any kind or any Japanese plane. My first week in AH I was flying a P47D-40 with 100% fuel and tanks and found 6 flights of B-17's and knocked them all out of the sky along with 5 fighters as I was returning to base. The Jug is my second choice in rides.

Hurri IIc for turny wiggly stuff.

Yes it does.  Nothing substantiates your claims of dogfighting prowess.  If you don't want to furball and mix it up, that's perfectly alright, but please spare us statements like the one you just made.  It's simply not true, and you're only kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Not that I have to have those planes... I love flying 30+ eny planes as well as cannon monsters....

Some of the best fun I've had was landing 4 kills in an I16 in base defense against a bish horde, I don't think I got higher than 1.5K the entire fight, all on the deck. Same thing happened in base defense with a Hurri I, all on the deck TnB'in, ended up with 3 kills 500 holes in my bird, landed and had to go get a drink and lie down til I quit shaking!

Recently I have been flying the 109G6...got 7 kills in it one sortie about a month ago, no rearms......... but I must admit I have a hard time leaving the hanger without the gondolas.  :D

I'm not accusing you of flying easy planes, and I never said that they are easy. I can't fly a single plane well that's on that list. I just found it funny how you described your love for Hispanos, and zeros.  :)

Oh no, I didn't think you were calling me "easy mode" although that's what you hear 99% of the time if you mention Hurri IIc, Temp, or LA7..... but they all have their vulnerabilities, espcially when they let me fly them!

And yes, I do thank Mr. Hispano over country channel plenty of times after I land my scalps!

it depends on what you mean by "do well" 

get lots of killz?

win the war?

personally I have found that I have the best time in a KI-84/109k4, by that I mean I can go out and attack the hourde and get some kills and even occasionally make it back home.

with out having to resort to flying the noob planes.  16... LA7...N1K...

I used to fly the hurri religiously, at ALT that plane is deadly but so very easy to beat, I love all the prop planes the P40 is my favorite but isn't competitive in MA's.

Only in the Spitfire Mk Ib, Spitfire Mk IIb and in its American M2 20mm cannon incarnations.  The Spits Ib and IIb due to being installed laying on its side and the American one due to being manufactured to "cannon" specs (think 75mm artillery) rather than machine gun specs and not adopting the British fixes to the HS.404 design.

The Browning .50 also had horrible jamming problems when mounted at an angle in the P-51B.

I currently fly the ME110G at 34,000 feet hunting bombers.

It's really not fast enough to make more than one slashing attack before having to creep up dead six at that altitude but the guns are powerful.

What really fun is coming down after the hunt and finding an enemy fighter who ignores the "up views" because he's at 28k feet and doesn't believe he will run into someone higher.

That's when I turn off the engines, dive in on his six, shoot him with whatever I ammo I have left,  and then hit him with the rear gun as I streak past underneath......if he's not a ball of fire by then.

I'll eventually gravitate toward the plane that nobody wants to fly and find that one place in the flight envelope that it holds an advantage.

A motto that I like:

"If it ain't Jap, its Crap"


Pretty much anything with a meatball on it.

Ki-84 and N1K2 are probably the most forgiving plane for me to get some kills in. In the MA the Zeke and the Ki-61 can be more challenging.

people very often underestimate the 110, screw up, & get in front of my guns. If it were just a little more maneuverable and less likely to slip and slide, it would be my fav. I usually get several kills while a horde is vulching a field.  :D

just like i overestimated the 110 when i was flying it, and started a turn-fight against a 109-k4. :(
