Can't recall who made this challenge but.. someone said that I should fly every plane in the set till I land a kill in it for a tour.
I started yesterday. I will fly every single seat fighter till I get a kill and land it (or ditch).
Alphabetical order... so far I have gotten to fly easy planes to get kills in... Zekes and the 109 series.. the 109s are as big of assist kings as my FM2 or a 51b but easy to fly well.
Good part is... I am getting all the views done as I go.

Really?
I've been doing the "land two kills in every plane" thing.......ie get a swoop landed x in x mssg in the text buffer for each plane. I'm up to the 190s.......
I heard Citabria did a "get 5 kills in every plane" thing a while back.
:D Step up a gear Lazs.

I'm working on 'get killed 5 times by every aircraft type'.
Finished.
-
I pretty much am getting 2 kills in em but the challenge said 1... I don't think I could stomach some of the planes long enough to get even 2 kills much less 5.
Plus... I'm not as patient as citabria or as good as you.

You are going to spend a lot of time in that C-47.

:D
Don't be daft, all I've got going for me is a little bit of patience and a good eye for the gunnery, I'm awful in a furball.
But I'll agree.....couldn't get out of that damn 202 fast enough and I'm not looking forward to the AR234 either ;).

I will only fly the single seat fighters.

Best of luck with the clown-tailed Ki.
That plane is a flying target for 733t 5p1tf14e ac3s. :mad:
-
why not 10 kills, 1 rearm max, instead?
-
because then I would get stuck in the boring LW rides for longer than I like... I can stomach the one sortie, get a kill or two, and return to base but that's about it.

how about killing one of every a/c type? that would be more fun! only ones i missed out on last tour were:-
C.202
Bf 110C-4b
Bf 109E-4
Spitfire Mk XIV
-
hee hee hee lolh nice icon furball.
-
why you doing that, Lazs? It doesn't sound like you're having that much fun doing it. I know I have absolutely no desire to strap on a Fw190 (any variant) in the MA, and I hate it when the 332nd draws 190 duty in Squad Ops. I don't fly that much, so I don't want to spend time in planes I don't enjoy.
yet, if it's fun for you, go for it. :)

I keep trying to do that. The nearest I've gotten is everything apart from the F4U-4, tour 33. That was before the Ju87, Kate etc patch though.
I also like seeing how long I can go without getting shot down in a particular type. I think I've managed 50+ in the 190D (twice), Typh, Spit IX, Seafire, La5 and F4U-C so far. The 50 mark seem to be some sort of physical barrier for me, I've never got to 60 yet :) Next on the list to try and do it in are the IL2 and maybe the 109G-2.

I bet you never fought Mitsu when he flew ki61.
-
i believe that i have killed about every single ac in the game several times. one of the good things about flying evry one is that i get to set all the views in the least boring way.
niffty.. I am not looking forward to the 190's but will get the kills quick and at least.... the views will be set.

LOL!
-
Been there, (almost) done that. Still trying to land a c202 kill, but it seems the Modjo is not with me on this one so far :/
-
Oh... did I forget to mention... I am trying to maintain at least 5 kills per hour and never go past 6k agl. I would also like to maintain 1 kill per sortie at least.

come on guys... c.202 is ojne sweet ride.... Simple to fly, easy to land kills with.... Well until 4+ bishops jump on you with their standard Spit, La7, N1K setup.... and even then it takes them minutes to kill you....
And actually I wont fly many other planes this tour... if only HT adds the 2 bomb option for it as they did for the LAs... both 202 and 205 were capable of carriing the ordonance...
However, must be some burnout for me since killing planes in aircraft with cannons or .50s brings me no joy anymore... So somehow I rediscovered the power of 202....
Don't have much time to fly these days but my best K/D in 202 during the whole tour was something like 20:3 (was flying the 202 just occasionaly not for the whole tour), or during tour 30 the K/D was 56:16 (also flying it just time to time).
I'm just looking forward to see how it is going to be this tour... hehe, so if you see a lonely rook 202 then get in the row and go 1 by one please... or land and come back in 202 as well.... thanks ;)
As for the "land kils in every fighter plane" - interesting, must try it in the future.... but not this tour... I was absent to AH since almost the start of the year so I have to accomodate to it again... for that task the 202 will do just fine....
-
In Tour39 I flew 60 of my 63 fighter sorties in the C.202.
Sweet ride as long as you can find the 1v1's.
After such a month you really get to love the 30mm.

Your not kidding! I spent a whole tour in one of those things and only got two stinking kills to show for it!:eek:
-
cool idea
i just took it!
i must LAND 2 kills in every fghter in the game, i will have to fly them in ABC order.
so far i did the A6m2 and A6m5 1 sortie in the 109e showed me that it will not be easy and then i had to log
so 2 planes down and have untill the end of the tod :)

Laz,
I introduced this very challenge to our squad almost a year ago, I got kills in both a chutte and the C-47, but did not finish before the tour was over. One of my squaddies did finish, and I have much respect for him. We included vehicles, too.
As an alternate game, here is an idea. For one tour, you get one life in every aircraft. See how many kills you can rack up in each plane. Save the data file when your done, then go for a second round and another life in each. I might try this one next tour.
-
I try not to get killed and kill as many bish as I can.
-
Only 1 kill per tour? Wheres the challenge part?
-
Nevermind.
-
Thats not the badest idea. First I wanted to fly Ta152 mostly exclusive this tour (only for base defense I choose a N1k) but now I think this could bring a new challenge. Thx lazs

Actually, I'm going to eat my words on that one. I bagged 3 kills in one last night and landed all three. Low, slow, heavy F4U-1D Corsairs blow up real nice at d200. The Ki-61 needs to be flown like a 109E - energy fighter with just a bit of turning, get in close to hit anything, spend the time to climb to at least 15k and only engage airplanes below.
What I'd really like to see is a Ki-43 "Oscar", Ki-44 Shoki/"Tojo", or Ki-84 "Frank".
