I have been flying CT more of late and at first I didn't like the very limited plane sets (probably a carry over from MA). I "forced" myself to fly plane I didn't "like" and began to pick many planes I had hardly flown at all. At the start of every campaign, flying "new" airframes from both sides I pretty much got slaughtered. BUT, as I spent more time in these planes I found ways to win and and come out on top regardless of the plane as i have changed sides often to balance numbers and just tryand become more experinced in new planes. My initial opinion of the 202 was not a lot different then Storch's, but more flying, changing tactics, changing setups, adapting to the airframe, Now I feel the 202 has very good guns and I can get pretty quick kills. I changed convergence to 150 and get in close (which isn't hard in this setup) worked on picking my shots (cockpits, tail sections, one wing root). Now I find the guns more than adequate. I then spent time in the 109E that was harder but found ways to win in it. Then over to the P40's, if I tried to just outturn 202's I got killed a lot, but by changing and adapting I found it just great. Then the Hurri 1, at first I thought it was hopeless but after several hours began to fine I could win consistently in it also. I have learned more about changing tactics and fighting diferent models here in the CT over the few months than I learned in over 3 yrs flying in the MA. Get a plane stay in it until you learn to get kills in it consistly and then move to the next, you develop a much better appreciation for all planes and may become a better virtual pilot because of it.
