Title: Favorite plane to earn perk points in?
Post by: fdiron on April 13, 2002, 04:52:49 AM
Whats your favorite plane to earn perk points in?  Mine is the F4U-1.  Every spitIX you shoot down in the -1 is 5 perk points.  The F4U-1 is a nice plane even though it climbs a bit slow and has a nasty stall when you try to pull some Gs at less than 120ias. It is the second fastest F4U and can loop very well with a notch of flaps.  Its 6 .50s can take the wing off a spit or N1k2 very easily if you are able to get proper convergence.

With a new ENY of 40 the P47D-11 is a perk monster.  Huge ammo load and 8 .50s.
Title: FW190A5 !
Post by: devious on April 13, 2002, 01:15:50 PM
The FW190A5. Eny 36, maneuverable, decent punch.

Just had my first 5-kill streak in my trusty A5, 2xTA152 (!!), a Spit, a Typhoon and a P51d - imagine my smug gleaming :D

Post by: Taiaha on April 13, 2002, 03:10:18 PM
Ditto the 190A5 and the Hurri2.  But my favorite is the 51B, something that only Sirloin and Nefarious and I seem to be flying!  I've never even seen another one in the MA, a vastly underrated plane INHO.  I think people get put off because it has ONLY 4 50s--but that's more than enough to do the damage if your gunnery is good. (Small magazines are the real problem). And it's slighly slower speed (relative to the 51D) means that if you get the angle right and use flaps it's more than capable of turning with a Spit long enough to work a solution.  It's so under-used that the perk rewards for knocking down just about anything are pretty good.

I'm actually really enjoy flying these mid-war workhorses.  You need to pick your fights, but I've also shot down LA-7s in a one-on-one without too much trouble.  I'm no hotshot by any means, but all my multiple kill sorties this tour have been in the 51B.

How can you go wrong in an armed fighter with the same ENY value as a C47?
Title: Favorite plane to earn perk points in?
Post by: fdiron on April 13, 2002, 03:48:53 PM
I'm pretty sure the P51B is faster than the P51 at any altitude.
Title: Favorite plane to earn perk points in?
Post by: Frost on April 13, 2002, 03:50:47 PM
P51D is faster down low that the -B I believe.

109 G2 W/Gondolas.
One of the best overall planes avaible. Largelly ignored, what is good.
Have a decent speed, outstanding climb rate and turn fairly well, with a nocht of flap can turn well many "turning planes".
It can turn inside the faster planes.
It can outclimb the more maneuverable planes.
At 21k is a dangerous oponent for any co-alt palne.
Low and slow can handle most of the situations.
With 400 20mm rounds, a short burst in front of any bomber can do the job in one pass.
I think his ENY value is understimated, which is also good.
Mosts of players think you are in a G10 when see you high and fast and tend to avoid fight.
A little ignored jewell.
