My biggest concern might be the LA7 if he's gaining at any real rate.

A lot left out of the scenario. Is the Spit merging head on co-alt?
Relative speeds and rates of closure for the Spit and the LA? Altitude? Speed?

I like the P-38 for this because its a jack of all trades. But it is a huge target to have three shooting at. On the other hand, since I'd need to take each one out fast, if I'm going to start with speed, I'd think maybe C Hog, for quick kills on snap shots.

I'd assume the Spit and the 109 might turn fight. Once you get very slow, the LA is going to try real hard to pick. If the 109 is a G10 and he's above with speed as well, it's going to get ugly.

Agreed, pinging them up is not an option, they HAVE to pop if you can get a shot. Canopy shots or wing root shots. Bad for me, my gunnery has gotten a lot worse lately. I'm sure I'd take way too long on target to survive.

slow zeke - with full flaps :) or a d3a

La7 overshoots - mix it up with the spit - watch the 109 auger.

I would, but not against a spit.  I think at this point is all in my head.  I see red and I think, cool, another kill is comming.  If te red is a spit, I begin planing the excuses for getting killed, :lol

I would be in the 190 D9 heading towards the deck in the direction of a friendly base all the while on the squad channel yelling for help.  Buts that's just me. :D

the spit is co alt co E head on merge    lala closing fast co alt 6 clock   and 109e is starting a bnz pass  from above     I saw this same thing 3 times yesterday.  probably cause I was trying HO mnerges with all spits I saw.   and normally there was a lala and 109 around.  

right now I would be comfortable in a spitV  because of dodging and reversal capabilities.

By the way I forgot to mention the fourth plane.. Tempest at 3K diving straight down for the cherry.  Can anyone guess who's flying it?

EEEWWW.

So we're on the deck. That IS ugly. If alone, the only choice is to try to force the overshoot and avoid the HO pass, then force the overshoot on the BnZ. I'll still take the same planes, probably a bad choice, but its what I fly.

Oh, Todd is in the Tempest. Send my widow the cookie.

Hehe, was about to post something similar.... but done in a Hurri 2c.

Slow is hard to hit for the BnZ. Spit is dead meat (depending on the driver of course!!).

And last but not least, Hurri is a tough bird, she can take a beating or two...

Depends on what I'm in. P51d F4u1 F4u1d F4u4 p38 p47 N1k2 are what I normally fly and each one depends on the response. I normally go for the biggest threat wich in my case is Either the fastest plane or the one holding the most E. If I think it's gunna devolve into a turn fight I'de go for the Spit. then again 9 times out of 10 I either end up dead or running home with a porked bird.
