Title: Your top 3 favorite planes to shoot down
Post by: hblair on July 19, 2001, 07:55:00 AM
1. LA7
2. N1K
3. F4U1-C

A year ago, the c-hawg would be #1, with the pony close behind. There's just something about shooting down the most common planes in the arena. They are common because they are esier to fly. Most pilots fly them to get a slight advantage. Killing them while they are flying with their advantage is big fun to me.

Anyone else? Which planes do you enjoy killing the most?

1. The one that just blew a B&Z pass and lingered a hair too long or went vertical a bit too hard.

2. The one that just nailed a squaddie.

3. The one that has been loitering over a T&B furball and "cherry-picking" but finally got a hair too low and slow.

 ;)

Actually, depending on what I'm flying, I like taking out the "historical" adversaries. That "immersion" thing.

But it's not something that keeps my soul writhing in angst about the game when a target like that is not handy.

A kill's a kill.   :)

Tempest, TA152 and Arado!

Oh! "shoot down" and not "wish I'd shot down"   :(


Actually, the F4U-1C and chutes! Both still give me a gleam when they're in my gun sight. Although the N1k2 certainly is beomcing a joy to kill as I've had enough of it killing me. I'm zeroing in on them first no matter what now.

#1:N1K2
#2:Spitfire
#3:C47
Spit V kills the first two evertime.I love that feeling as you start to gain on them in a turn fight and when they realize it too late and try to break for it..AHHHhhh..Taka Taka Taka!!My taste for blood is balanced by the killing of a C47,where I feel for the poor soul for flying so low and slow for the sake of his country,and quickly put him out of his hopeless situation..<Comfessions of a Spit Dweeb>  :D

1. Dimeturning Nikis
2. Sky-rocketing Nikis
3. Incredibly fast-diving Nikis

(sorry pyro)

The N1K is the only plane I get some satisfaction from killing.  All other kills leave me with a "I'm an opportunist spit dweeb..."-feeling.  I felt even worse when I was an opportunist N1K-dweeb.  That dweeby thing seems to follow me out of the cockpit...

1.  Zekes!  Nothing like a sweet BnZ pass in a Hellcat on a poor Zeke.   :D

2.  La7's.  Muhahaha, love killing this thing.

3.  N1k2's... they are a challenge so it's allways good to swat 'em.

Oh yeah.. .and any perk plane is extra fun to kill.  :)

Post by: eddiek on July 19, 2001, 08:28:00 AM
In no particular order:  Spits, Nikis, and La7's.
Why?  
Each will outturn, outclimb, outrun, and outdive my Jug if I get locked up in a fight with them.  Besting them at their own game makes me smile ear to ear when I decide to fight their game and not mine.
If I am in the "historical" mood, I love getting it on against 109's and 190's, no matter the model.   But then again, one of the first group always comes in and gets involved...........

2. Anyone that believes the uber hype they read on the BBS and thinks it makes them invincible.
3. Anyone using the "floppy" defense or the slow roll/cut engine defense.

Favorite aircraft to shoot down:

1) Yak
2) 109
3) N1K/LA7

Favorite situation:

1) They started out with an altitude advantage
2) They interrupted a good 1v1 fight
3) Trailing 3 or 4, scissoring like crazy, and holding off in time for help to arrive, kill one or two of the bastiges, and then laughing about it while I’m on the reloading pad

2. Arados ('cuz I like robbin' em of those 70 perk points)

3. La7 (cuz' it ticks me that the rooshkies get a plane with a red nose, but I can't have my 190 dressesd up in PRILLER's paint scheme)

4. DMd
5. Animal

These guys all fly in groups and its fun to run into them and screw up their base capture :)  It hurts the kill per death ratio as I usually end up flying off of a capped field.....good thing FDB's are a squad who cares about our score.

N1k2s, Chogs, and SpitIXs...  gimme some perkies baby!!!   ;)  Especially when I'm in a Spit V...

Hmm, I like taking out historic enemies, so 109s and 190s are good kills for me in a Spit, and N1ks and Zekes when I'm in a Hellkittie or DHog (not much this tour)...  

Ostwinds and panzers are good when flying attack missions in a Jug (D25)  Goooood perks there!   ;)

Guess I just like killing them all!   :D

51, Dora and 109...

I'm with Jase. I like to get these pesky annoying planes out of the way so I can get on with the fun stuff down low. I mean really, in a furball, all these planes can do is pick you off, not much to it. Inna 1v1, there should be some kind of rule whereby if you spot the BnZ culprit, he's "busted" and has to move on... cuz there aint nothing he can do to kill ya now except run ya outta gas and waste a good 1/2 hour of everyone's time.  :)

Just a joke guys (smiley  :) and everything).

Post by: Hangtime on July 19, 2001, 05:01:00 PM
When just cruising for a fight..

The red P51's.. if I ignore them; they saddle up. So I get them first to 'clear the air'.

Then the 190's.. they infuriate me.. it's never Hristo. I must not be hunting high enuff.

Lastly; the 109's.. Food chain thing... sometimes I get lucky and find somebody good.  :)

If I'm base defensive.. anything that looks like it can carry eggs. Buffs top the list. Dirty job.. somebody's gotta do it.

Then it's on to whatever's vulchin.

I'm so scared of them, that i swoop down at outragous speeds and run away like a bat out of hell...
I do suspect that i'm been hit by their previous shots that i simply gain on, and hit THEM from behind   :D

I like toads list and it really does work but... If you want specific planes...

1)  the Lag7 (can do everything better than a dhog)
2)  any axis plane  (well.... yeah)
3)  the cowardly P51  (doesn't everyone?)

The easiest plane for me to kill is the spit.  The spit really got screwed in the damage department IMO, at least so far as shooting em with .50's.   Nothing else comes apart so easily including zekes for me in the dhog.

It depends on what i am flying.
For example, when i fly a 109 i just love to shoot down Mustangs and Thunderbolts.
Same goes for 190.

I just like to keep it historically, i dont like to shoot down a mustang when i fly a mustang.


Easy huh  :)
