Okay I'll ask first............

All in All, last night had a blast............fun fights Storch, Tbarone, Wildsau, and others....... Storch is pretty darn fun to fight when he is flying that ki-61, and Tbarone is jumping up the ladder of experience by leaps and bounds, some great flying last night   T.

the funny thing was, seeing zekes that appeared to be 15 to 20K alt or ki84s, when everytime you took off you either had to fight with the enemy diving on you at all times, or wait til you climb a little for alt.

when trying to climb for alt, the more I climbed the more the dots climbed, never relinquishing their 5+K alt advantage...........so you level off and fly until an icon engages you, only to have 2 to 3 others come diving in on you while you are engaged with the 1st one.

I do not see where flying 3 to 4 to one diving on a lower enemy icon is much of an experience, 2 on 1 is ok anyday really, all be it a zeke and a ki84 fighting a F4U-1D, that can not outturn  or outrun or outclimb any of the 2 from the beginning, may outrun the ki-84 if 1 could extend at the right time.

A zeke dropping on a F4U-1D can come zooming in and bleed his Energy so fast to stick to you like glue and if you didn't save your alt you can not dive away and extend......

the Fm2 is on par with the zekes and the ki84, not much there to argue about, even if you are outnumbered. if you can handle the plane you can work the fight to your advantage most times.

The A20 verses the ki84 and the a6m5's are a blast, I mean with all them 50 cal nose guns you literally blast the opposition out of the sky, oh yeah and it turns ok/soso  with the axis rides ( was fun to knife fight zekes and ki84 in an A20 )
