Title: For the first time, literally ever......
Post by: Tig on September 01, 2022, 05:18:53 PM: I have a positive K/D ratio! :rofl :rofl :rofl

Landed 2 back to back sorties, first with 3 kills in a Spit 16 on a formation of Mossy 16s, and then a 3 kill sortie in a Seafire, where I downed 2 Ju88s, then had a really tight, hard fight against BR549 on the deck against his Brewmaster whilst one of his teammates in a P-47M made passes on me (which I evaded every time). Extremely tight dogfight, one of the best I've ever had, but I checkmated him. :airplane:

(We don't talk about the Mitchell deaths, I never really fly bombers anyway) :x

I'm not sure I'll ever understand why I do better in a Mosquito Mk 6 than a Spitfire Mk 16, but I'll take what I can get, standing at a kill ratio of a little over 2:1 in the Mossy.

MAN I love the Mossy, it can really do it all as long as I start the fight on top. Plus I've pulled off so many shot-up landings, landing with half a wing is almost easy. Engine outs happen a lot too. :airplane:

The Mosquito is the only fighter I have a positive K/D on, inexplicably. Regardless, it works in my favor because me killing H0tard's La-7 just once today landed me a nifty 11 perk points, thanks to the Mossy's ENY of 30. I swear, it should have a lower ENY, it's an incredible plane.

Yeaaahhhh no. :noid

I have a severe stigma against 190s, ESPECIALLY the Dora. I tried a few 190s in the offline 4v4 dogfights anyway and it just hurt to fly on a number of levels.

I don't like to BnZ if I have other options, it just doesn't feel like a real fight to me.

If you want to join me in turning and burning in Mosquitos though.... :devil
