In tour 19 I decided to try the 205 just for the fun of it. I had a 37 kill streak going in it and I became more confident in it with each kill. I have a screenshot to prove it...this is not modified (i have the film) PERK THE 205!!!! :D
(somehow I get the feeling that some certain individuals will now start flying the 205 to go for insane streak records...and somehow I feel like I will unwillingly contribute to that streak ;) )
12 vs. 1 just before my streak ended ( lol maybe a little too confident in the 205? )
P.S. Note what planes the Bish fly :eek:

37 != 4

I think the screenie is to prove his confidence, not his kill count. ;)

Yeah exactly. My kill streak actually happened over 3 days. 37 kills and no deaths...however a 37 kill streak in a single sortie without vulch kills would be cool...I'll have to try that :cool:
-
LOL! Nice pic.
Just one question though...
Did you really think you could just dive in, vulch a few and escape from that mess?

You can DJ even in slower planes like the c205, Bf109G6 and FW190A5. :)

Good boy ... mhhhhhhhhhh ;) From TOD #21 stats of 4°Stormo Caccia "F.Baracca":
GATT has 160 kills and 20 deaths with the C.205
Zioo has 163 kills and 21 deaths with the C.205

wtg discod!
seeing how far you can go before dying is a lot of fun and a great diversion from the usual fly die fly die fly die routine. I like the challenge more than anything else. you dont have to fly conservative to be good at streaking. you just have to be able to fly very well when at a disadvantage and attempt to maintain an advantage or an exit when lots of trouble starts to shoot at you, like that pic you showed :)
flying with a wingman helps extremely! I flew almost every sortie with kappa and often other members from our squad joined for a 3-4 ship flight.
I have a great film of me and dbltrubl on one of our first flights this tour dogfighting 2 190d9s that bounced us from above :) we both were damaged but the 190d9s both died :) flying with a wingman is very fun too especially if you both can read eachothers intentions etc without much effort.

I gotta start recording, Cit and Kappa tangle with an F6F at 20k plus would have been an interesting review.
Musta been my lucky day.

C.205 is very nice plane :)
Why nobody talks of streaks made in C.202 among all the spits chogs nikis.... :(
-
I`ve started to take notice of my scoore=I GET REALLY UPSET WHEN I DIE,,,AND I`VE STARTED TO TALK TO MY PLANE(CMON GIRL YOU CAN DO IT ;) ),is there a cure for that?.
sometimes my wife is standing behind me with a worried look at her face :D .
-
Be fair, Fishu. The main reason you can't run a streak in a 202 is the weak guns. You don't have enough time on target to pump sufficient 30 cal into the guy to kill him. Even the lowly 109F has much more punch than the 202.
-
The 205 is a great plane, here is a pic of me taking one through the VH upside down.

hey.. dont dis the 109F, its a great plane!
Especially I loved to butcher chogs in it.
dunno what you mean by being fair?
I like C205 and like to see people slaughtering spit/niki/chog weenies with it :>

Read your post above- you asked why people didn't try to run a streak in the 202.

Should'nt this be in past tense?
We have'nt seen you in here in quite awhile.
Are you still flying online or reminising about the old days?

Hey Durr why dont you show us the exit screen-shot of that hanger? :D
205 is a great ride, i started flying it when i first stated playing AH. dont why one would call it slow.. it deffinately isnt.
202 is also a great AC, if you get into a TNB fight with anything 1vrs1 you should win.. those 7mm's(.303) are worthless Kieran, but the 12mm(.50) can do some damage.
my best streak in a 202 is 7 a2a kills :D

Past?
"Especially I loved to butcher chogs in it"
thats in the past right?
and I like C.205.. why should playing of AH decide whether I like C.205 or not?
and I like to see C.205 kick butt.. what am I seeing in this thread?
In this thread im seeing C.205 has kicked some butt with 37 streak :)
you could just as well kept quiet, Eskimo.

exit screen shot coming up...

The C.205 is the most under rated aircraft in AH, IMHO.
The ENY of 40 is way out of proportion to its capabilities.

tour 18:
fester has 22 kills and has been killed 0 times in the C.202.

Oh yeah? Try that against a Zeke or Spit V- or even a well-flown 109F. ;) Honestly, 1 vs. 1 against the 202 is a snap- extend, pummel from above. If you get in trouble roll away. He would have to be in your back seat to hurt you.

"37??? In a row?"

I agree with that.
It's always been very much underrated.
Kieran,
Might I impress you with 1-on-1 at a disadvantage kill of Ypsilon's P51 in C.202? ;)

The thing I can definitely say for you, Fishu, is you might just be the best shot I ever saw.
-
those .50s are good actually.
Though, I like using peashots at times and I've been making kills in 109F4 with the pair of 7.92mm's
Target often gets killed by some cannon happy pilot though... ;)
I actually once shot down B-17 with 7.92mm's.
Required all my ammo from 50 meters and he was still flying.. got kill credits as I was diving to land.
But I've shot few B-17s with C.202, thanks to 12.7mm's (head ons and surprises from behind, they go surprisingly easy down with bullet between the eyes :D)
but im not that good of a shot :I
...Ypsilon got .50cal in his radiator and that way P51 doesnt fly far.

PERK THE C205 :D

Is the 205 really that good? I've been flying Spits but I really don't like them. Should I fly it? Or is it for more expereinced pilots????
