I'm interested in what your favorite (favourite for Flossy) jabo ride is and what load out you like?
Mines the F4UD with 2 1000#'ers, 8 rockets, and 100% fuel.
Thanks.
HONK!

Jug.

Hurri IIC with 2x 500lbers

P-47D

P38L is best imo, I play for Rank and I find it suits my neads in the atack catarory best, espichaly since the bomb weight in pounds does not apear to match the Metric weight in pounds.
P38 is good because it can pack all that ordance to target easly and quickly, it does not strugal like the P47D.
The focused fire power of the 50cal, is awsome, and it has a hispano for those quick kills.
Handeling is way better for Vulching compared to the P47D-30 imo.
While the Bf 110 acturaly caries enught weight in bombs to kill a Hanger the metric/pounds issue keeps it from compeating.

p-38/2x1000#/10 rocks/50% fuel--have fun
-
P-38L all the way.
NOTHING climbs as well heavily loaded. Once ord is away, those .50's last forever with the heavy gun loadout. Nothing can get as much ordnance into a target faster, loiter in the middle of the fight as long, and then leave even with severe damage.
-
Typhoon. with 2 1k. I like to get away on the deck And I like the ease of extra strafing kills with the 4 hispano. Also quite a tough bird vs ground fire.
-
Typhoon , Is my ride for any V-Base target, I take just the rockets, one pass and the base is ready for capture, She is fast and tough, a nice ride, I have a lot of time in but not to many kills, since It works so well at killing the V base:)
-
ponyD. i've done quite well with it and it's well suited to fighting after the ord is gone.
-
the F6F-5, fully loaded, has fantasic climb ability- dont even need flaps to get it off the CV
-
Jug for jabo, and jug as fighter
-
depends on the situation. If I want to level a town all by my lonesome, you can't beat the 110G2. If I just want to drop a hangar or two and then start vulching/capping, Jug 30 all the way. From a carrier, I have to go with the F6F, 2x1000, 6 rocks, 75% gas.
And of course, when I just really want to confuse the Attack category, La7 with two of those little dinky bombs. :D
-
F6F fully loaded - can fight it's way to target, deack field with ord onboard, survive several ack hits, has onboard "Vulch-O-Matic" agility enhancer, and has no stabilityproblems in a fast dive.
-
Mine are:
Tempest. It climbs just as well as a 38 (albeit without rockets) but is a better fighter once it has droped it's eggs.
The 38 for a non perk med alt jabo.
Typh for NOE.

LOL a thyp is without ammo any second. It turns good but only a few corners than it flys like crap.
The P38 is a much better dogfighter unless the typh isn't going for a headon, the lightning will always bite it's tail. The thypoon is absolutely worthless in slow stall fights.
But u can runaway better with the thypoon since the Jabo mostly ends up low. :rolleyes:
But on the other hand a p38 will be better to vulch bnz or cap the base.
Just my experience :)
-
Bug, he said Tempest not Typhoon. :)
-
errrrr same
:D
-
Mosquito FB.Mk VI
Lots of firepower and four 500lb bombs to distribute all while remaining pretty fast.
-
Gotta be the 110G2,with 4x110mm rockets,levels a town all by itself and still has ammo to spare,also i got 4 kills in one the other nite (none HO's either) :)
-
Sheesh! P-38 dweebs! Don't you know that the P-38 sux? The Mustang and Jug were waaay better. Besides, the Mustang won the war for the allies. If it weren't for the P-51 we'd all be speaking German right now.
And you're all wrong...best jabo is the 202. :D
-
F4U-1D, for all roles.
-
any Corsair, after I manage to take off.
-
Has to be the Mossie... :D
And like my partner DoubleTrouble says... The 38's a sissy JABO junior compared to the Mossie and 202. ;)
-
Most powerful Jabo: 110G
Now if the mossie wasn't made out of paper jelly and petroleum it would be my favourite. Gets you to the target really fast and packs a formidable punch.
The F4U is also quite good, - good roll rate makes jobs like deacking easier, - which brings one to the 190, now that is a jabo as well, we just need the 190F corrected a bit.
P38 carries a lot and is a capable fighter, but I always compress the darned thing:(
Favourite Jabo? Dunno, - fly them all
-
P-38L
Wonder Ord, good gun package with lots of ammo, manueverable, climbs to dive bomb alt rapidly, and that second engine is nice after you get the inevitable "wonder ack" ping which always hits the engine oil.
-
Typhoon, I have the most success getting back after a bomb run.
-
The N1K2-J for me after you drop your 2 little 250 bombs and blow up a few bldgs.You can hose down planes trying to take off to intercept you and fly merrily home and brag to your friends about how your were outnumbered 5 to 1 and got all of them.:)
