1 vs 3 ?

[SkyRock]

If you were confronted with a 1 vs 3 and the three planes were a 109, spit, and la7, what plane would prefer to be in for fighting them?
spit co-alt, la7 1.5 back and 109 hovering 2K above

Any plane you feel comfortable in.

Seriously its you that make the difference not the plane.

What is important is how you deal with the situation and not in what plane you deal with the situaiton.

A god thing to do is to try and separate the targets to see if all of them really are interested in you. Given their spread in alt and the difference in plane type you can be sure of one thing, they arnt winging.

Most often I find that the LaLa will loose interest if you extend through climbing and the 109 will loose interest if you just extend away from it. The spit is likely to be interested all the time. But the spit you can extend from as well if you are in a faster plane. If not you will be able to retain the distance and reverse on him.

Anyways separate them and then deal with the highest target first. Get co-alt with highest target.

While I said its about the pilot... Id prefere a Ki84 in this situation...

P-38J.  The immediate threat would be the Spitfire.  Take it out in the first couple of turns and then the other two are cake if they decide to turn fight.  If they run...err I mean extend then just level out and regain your E.  Soon they'll give up and look for easier prey.

most likly take the spit out 1st ... depends on which 109 it is for what to take out 2nd  .... the lala better get him on his bnz pass or he'll just run away .

if its lev's Tempy up high ask him to call off his hoard mongers ..  (pesky dweebs wrecked a good fight ... i was gonna smoke ur tempy)

[TexMurphy]

The spit can but doesnt have to be the biggest threat. If its close within 2.0k and your facing each other then yeah ofcourse. But if not facing each other or at 2.5k+ range I would deem the 109 the bigger threat in the initial situation.

I would prefer to be in a Spit V.

The Spit would be the first to go and then the next one would depend upon which one has some ballz.

I would imagine that once the Spit is gone and there is no opportunity for the LaLa and 109 to try and pick you while fighting someone else ... they would probably just bug out and look for another pick.

[Urchin]

Spit or Ki84.  Take the Spit out fast, then work for a shot on the two BnZers.

[Howitzer]

Tempest or spitV.  Temp can turn good accelerate great, climb great, and has awesome guns.  SpitV just a real good all-around plane.  I was thinking maybe pony or f6f, but I would want something with cannons on it because you'd have to land your snap shots in order for this to work out in your favor.  

Also depends on who is flying the other birds  =)

[dedalos]

KI84.

I would not go after anyone first.  I would wait for them to come in and go after the one that made the mistake.  Cuse if they don't make one, there is no reason you should expect to survive.

Could've sworn you would say "P40."   =)
