Any dots higher than me when I'm having a great 1 vs 1 fight!  ;)

Actually,  I would say the LA-7.

One of the benefits of not being plane-centric is you don't really fear anything.

Post by: thrila on January 10, 2002, 08:48:00 AM
A high 190D or a la7.  I fear them both pretty much equally.

The only thing worse is when it's 4 190's in a finger four formation with StSanta laughing over Ch1.  :eek:

Yak? Doh! Even P-47D-11 can tnb with Yak!  :D
For me higher F4U and F6F are the worst possible nme's (if I'm flying jug that is). F4U can do just anything that P-47 does and even better. F6F's only weakness against jug is it's low speed.

Yak & 109

I don’t specify U or G-whatever because I cant distinguish between them.  If it says YAK, you die first followed shortly by the poor sap with the 109 icon  ;).

Fear?  Nothing, really.

There are a bunch of planes based on position and relative E states that I dread due to unavoidable impending boredom, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I fear them.

La-7.

A higher Spit if I'm in a 109.  It feels great to win in that situation though.

Post by: pugg666 on January 10, 2002, 10:53:00 AM
Yak9U

because they do almost everything better than my pony, and they are usually flown by some very good pilots ( at least in my experience when i fight one)

When I am in an E-fighter like the typhoon, The LA-7 is what I hate.
Can't outrun em,
Can't out climb em,
Can't out turn em.

The LA-7 is significantly better at all these that evasives are nearly useless.

The B-29...

When I see one flying up above and I get the tingling sensation I feel in the back of my neck just before nuclear explosions go off...

...Actually I wouldn't fear that.  Best to just resign yourself to the radioactive fate it would bring you to.

As a 109 pilot..

 Yak-9U, La-7, and Spit9

 of those three, La-7 seems the worst, followed by Yak-9U and Spit9.. at least Spit9 you can run away from..
Title: Poll: The fearest foe
Post by: aknimitz on January 10, 2002, 04:36:00 PM
Leviathn's SpitV

Drex's P47

Fester's P38

Nath's 109 or 190

Ok, hell, any plane flown by any of these ppl.  :)

YAk 9.
I hate planes that are faster than the P47 and can way outturn me.

Vector, I desagree from you big time. I'm talking about a competent pilot, off course, you can outturn a Zero in a P47 at 90kts if the guy is our average MA newbie.

No one plane strikes fear into me , No matter what Alt. In fact I like when they are higher, I know the speed will hamper their turning ability.

What i look for is lets say leviathn is in the area, then i keep my eye on the spitties. You can accually pick him out of the crowd just by the flying characteristics, and hopefully I get the opperunity to have alittle time to access the enemy.

When Fester is on, well, he is the only one i fear, I can't out scissor him, or bleed his E, out turn him, or in any way shape or form out fly him, no matter what plane vs. plane or ALt. I go from offensive to defensive in a matter of seconds :(

The Most fun fights i have are with Pimpjoe, something about tangling with him, the fights are pretty fun and ussually last awhile, while we fight for angles.

Hmmm, well nothing lower than my Jug.  Above 25k, only buffs.

However, I'd have to say generally the Yak9U.  Really nasty vs. a Jug.  On top of that, it seems to be mainly experten flying them wich makes it all the more difficult to deal with.

nothin really scares me when im in the air. but the la7's seem to be the ones i have trouble with. the one thing i hate about yaks is the fact that they are so small and i cant hit them.

NUTTZ deffinitely. i have lots of fun fightin you. you got me last night when i got fixated on killin a MAW-MAW  :(  got the kill tho  :D

La-7 here.  Hate seeing em in any plane (except the turny kind, when I love seeing em  :)).  For whatever reason, I don't recall having as much trouble with the Yak as I do with the La-7, even though in my opinion the Yak is a more deadly plane (assuming you fight it).

turnfighting 400mph + lances doing split S's then steaking off at sea level with my compressed yak9u trying to catch up. or the feared 20+ bomb droppin f4u from the other day. or anything on my 6 besides c47.
As far as vehicles its gotta be the 3 or 4 guys that in flaks never die, even with 5-6 guys bombing the cr*p outta them ,, and every other flak dies with a couple rocket hits.

I dont fear anymore anything but I hate Higher P51's because I have to watch them and quit fighting vs other. If I ignore one he's right in my 6... (well this doesnt matter what plane it is but lately it is often P51)

Nikis were quite scary but now its ok.

Yak depends on who flies it, must be careful.

Fancying myself as a Yak stick I would say that the only AC I fear is... probably a SpitIX.  The margins of the Yaks advantage are smallest overall against this plane.  Of course the 6 rounds of .22 Cal is always a disadvantage in the Yak.  :P

Specific brand: F4U-1C/D/4 - hardly ever kill those things in my a5 - they can follow every move the 190 does, and usually gain the advantage on me in the end.
In general: the one I didn't see.

Post by: DarkglamJG52 on February 16, 2002, 02:38:17 PM
I fly 109 G10 80% of time and IMO the UFO Spit IX it's the more dangerous  if take my 6 < d600 with more E, it is the end, one ping of super-hispanos and bye bye.  La 7 and Yak are also monsters, but against La 7 can make scissors or outturn(if la 7 very dweeb) and the yak have has a poor armament.

Hmm.... Quite honestly, I don't "fear" any of them. I'll avoid unfavorable situations, but that's simply common sense at work, not fear. I generally fly the Ki-61, Yak-9U, various Spits and throw in a Mustang and Lavochkin here and there. If I get killed in any of these, it's probably my fault. So, if I "fear" anything, it's a lapse in my own judgement that leaves me vunerable.

My regards,
