Yes thanks the notes I do enjoy the 109’s of most types. I take out the G14 often and will now do more with the G6 for sure it’s a fun ride.

I was out turned in a G6 which is is what irked the most.

Come shadow JG-11 Dad ,,, I always flew american planes and all before Joining them, the JG-11 Dad we have many Great Pilots who can teach ya any plane there with what load outs to take what this will do to effect your plane and all ,,,, I agree with Dmnslayr about the F8 ya she sucks as a turn fighter and all but she can carry a heavy payload for Attack mission's but once ya get used to her you can make magic with her if it came down to fight's Back in the day if you were in the Squad ya had to Fly the Iron's no matter what,,, but since time as moved on We try to fly only the Irons on Our Official Squad night on Tuesdays but after that any day is fair game for what you would like to fly,,, We Always fly Axis in FSO and Scenarios Plus we have some Pretty Great Legends in the Squad IE Stampf he was the Founder of Jg-11 and Built it now his Son MdStampf is CO and his Little Brother Hooligan is following the steps,,, Canukk Always another Great d9 Pilot 109's I know we have some guys who love them and I have been trying to fly them more often,,,, but I love the A8 she Packs a Punch and once ya learn her ya can turn fight with her,,,,,So I do not think we will disappoint ya if you would like to learn the Killer iron's but we do fly as Knit's so I do not know if that will detour ya

Yeah the G6 isnt really the greatest, which is why I fly the G2. No hubs on the nose, lighter, and still get gondies and will out turn most in vertical ACM.

That was a great scenario. I hope the Allies had as much fun as we did on Axis.

A huge <S> to everyone who participated.

Looking forward to the next one come Spring time.

The A5 is the best turn fighter of the group, probably the best midwar fighter other than the P38J. Acceleration, dive speed, roll rate, and 500 cannons make it very good, but cant out turn a 109, p38, F4u, Ki84, nik, or spit given equal pilots. Its almost a good turn fighter but not quite. Its a moderately hard plane to fly in the MA if your team isnt winning the fight since you can't outrun as many planes like you can in a D9. Forcing you to turn fight.

The A8 is horrible for dog fighting. Id only use for HO rampage and to attack low bombers. Best for shooting tanks, shooting buildings, and destroying manned guns and radar.

The F8 is practically worthless. I consider one of the worse planes in the game. Very tough to be consistently successful in it.

The D9 is practically one of the best fighter interceptors in the game. Fast acceleration, amazing climb, amazing dive, amazing roll rate, with high powered cannons and 50 cals. Its one of the best planes for noobs to learn E management. Extremely tough plane to shoot down with its speed and flappy roll rate.


The 109s have to be flown much differently than a 190. Its not the same fighter style. 109s arent BnZers really. They are more like sharks weaving in and out of a large fish hoard making quick unpredictable strikes. The G6 imo is the second worst 109 behind the E. Id recommend either the G2 or G14 if you dont like the 1 30mm k4. The G2 turns better, is lighter, and much easier to handle and aim than a G6. Its slower but generally speaking you are gonna have to turn with it regardless if in a G2 or G6, so youre better off in a G2 that turns better. The G2 if flown with correct vertical ACM can outurn most unsuspecting fighters with flaps out. The G14 is a great plane but still just a little slow. One of my favorite planes in the game. It can out turn some Spitfire pilots if you know what youre doing but has to be flown with vertical ACM. I always recommend gondolas because hitting a plane with 3 20mms is way more effective than 1 and can mean you may not have to chase as long and get picked following. 109s cant dive well. And that presents the largest issue for BnZ pilots who arent practiced in spiral dives.

The 190A5 is certainly more of your style, and im glad you are switching to that, but just realize you'll probably get ganged more and youll need to practice reversal ACM and 1v1 ACM to be able to get away from more fights. This makes the game more fun for others though instead of just hitting X and "extending" away because your plane is a super late war speedster.

Had a nice fight with you Dad in your fighter <S>

Then you murdered me from your bomber..

  Yes that was a fun night! I think Demon might be under selling the A5 a tad, but he would know more than me lol. I will say I have frustrated a couple of 190D’s because I was able to keep up with them on their six. That thing does pretty good at 500+ and I think the WEP stays  engaged for the better part of several hours.

Either way, I’m gonna keep fiddling with it until my next shiny thing comes along.

« Last post by Dadtallica on Yesterday at 08:42:57 PM »

yes you can it happened to me many years ago as well as I've taken out a 17lbs manned gun with a .45 and I had a pilot walk up to my m3 and kill me from point blank range

Can someone please reenact this and film it? That’s so chill!

I have no doubt there will be a vast a mount of pain and people will be very angry.

And it doesn't matter.

It's like complaining about old age.  If it is palliative than go for it.  It doesn't change anything.

I think your energy is better spent figuring out how to profit off it or at least not be destroyed by it.

People napping or thinking it isn't real will get steam-rolled. 

When those lay-off scythes start swinging you know what the first-pass filter is?  Those who are up to date on 10x their productivity with the available AI tools and experienced with AI Agentic coding, go in one stack.  The old curmudgeons sitting in their cube grousing with each other about how AI is just a fad, go in the other.  Who do you think the company lets go?

Adapt or die.  Or retire.
