Title: Serious Jug Time (D-11)
Post by: Red Tail 444 on December 02, 2002, 01:25:56 PM
Hey, I'm gonna be in the Jug for the majority of this campaign, and I'm loking for real killers in the Jug-11 to learn from. I've been in AH for nearly a year flying mostly Corsairs, and I'm ready for a new challenge. Compared to the F4U1D-1C, the D-11 feels almost weightless on the stick.

If I can learn the Hog I can learn anything!

Any takers? reply here or to corsair_pilot_mn@yahoo.com if interested thanks!

there are some good D-11 sticks around. There is a squad called something like "56th zemkes wolfpack" or something and they all fly lots of P47's

I enjoy the 47 alot myself, but can hardly call myself a good pilot in it. I had  K/D ratio of 178/74 last tour......not good at all

Hell no not putting a tarp over anything, can't find one damn near beg enough for Big Blue anyway :)

I'll still be flying the corsair, but not 95% of the time like I have been since Jan. I feel like I'm good enough in it to let it go and try something else. trust me, if I get p---ed off enough, bet your bottom dollar I'll be in a Hog, stomping on someone's noggin :)

You are welcome to hook up with me in the MA when you see me. I know a few tricks in it, but I am certainly not the best.

energy management my man, energy management.  Not only yours, but your enemy's as well.

Drop me an email and I know some tricks, but the good P47 sticks out there include ammo and Frenchy - you might want to talk to them, but I can surely help you out. My email is BlueiceJr2004@aol.com.

Im 10-1 KD in the D11 and thats not 2 missions either......

First tip keep speed up, at least above 250mph ias in the combat zone.


I also suggest the lesser ammo loadout...

It gives a better feel in the plane.


Ammo, Frenchy, etc... All are aces in the D11 its a Great plane.


Talk to them...

Note Your visability over the nose is your biggest asset in the D11 so use it to get them nice shots on the enemy.  8 .50 cals and its game over for them..

Hey Gainsie!

Hook up with Ammo & Sancho with the 56th FG WOLFPACK. They are without a doubt the best Jugg Pilots in AH. They taught Lowe and I how to fly the Jugg when we first joined AH.

I can fly the P-47 alright, I'd be happy to give you any general pointers.  Of course, the 56th is the place to go for some expert advice on that plane.

the Zempkes Wolfpack actually is an real excisting squad, it flown alot in the WW2 and was a real good squad.

Good choice, D11 pretty easy and forgiving in turnfights compared to her big brothers. I sent you an email.

Cheers.

Well Gainsie you already know you've got me.....the problem is I will probably end up getting you killed more than getting more kills.  Ask ammo :D
