When the Moon Hits Your Eye....
« on: May 14, 2003, 11:38:05 AM »
...like a big pizza pie, that's amore`.

Flying the CT has forced me to fly planes I never fly in the MA. Last night I flew the c.205 for the first time ever, it's fairly mediocre against Spits and Hurricanes low and slow but with a bit of steam built up it does pretty well in most situations but would have liked to fly against a P40, nothin' but Spits and Hurricanes were seen last night.

I logged off with an 11/3 K/D in it last night, not great but killing Spitties in a plane I never fly gives me a bit more satisfaction than killing them in my usual Tiffy or Hellcat.

I think I like the smell of Italian leather....just don't try to pass that Oregano off as something else ;)

yup same here I have flown nothing but the c.202 and the c.205,I very rarely ever fly them, both are fun to fly I like the c.202 a bit more from a flying stand point but the guns are crappy.

 I think Iam 15/19 in the c.202 and 12/11 in the c.205 hardly steller stats but both these planes are fun to fly.

I could be mistaken, but aren't the P-40's only enabled way back from the action?

I dunno, I only flew Allied one night, and only the CV was near the action, so it was Seafire time.  ;)

The 205 is my all time favorate AH fighter, Althought we rarely see it in the CT since it had a short and limited operational history. Most of my experance in it is in the MA.

  If you havent done this, try buring the fuel out of the wing tanks first, idealy before you get into action, it improves handeling apricably, also leaving the 7mm on the ground helps as well if your in the 202, it preforms better  with just the two 12.7mm.

P-40's are available everywhere finner airplanes are launched from.  ;)

Only limitations are on the B-17 & B-26 being regulated to N. Africa.
