Dweeb meaning?

Planes that the skweeker horde and ramming HOtards prefer to real mans aircraft- ie., something thats actually a challenge.

If I leave my gear down in my Lavochkins to make it fair to I qualify as a real man?

Yak is NOT a dweeb plane.

LA7
LA5Fn
Nik
Spixteen
Hurri IIC (to some extent)
A6M5b
Pony D (again, to some extent)

In no particular order.

Pretty much anything that horrendously outclasses the opposition counts in my book ie- Spit 9s against 109Es and A6M2s, 109Gs against Spit Is, P-51s against A6M2s and Vals... etc.

Well what do you usually fly?

This really is a waste of time post.

In general I would look it up but in this context it means someone who brings very little to the game in terms of skill (but also personality if used broadly) but still achieves results through the use of planes which outshine the opposition in almost every depertment. This can lead to a boring over confidence on their part and a disenchantment with the game on the part of those who have invested time and skill in lesser planes.

In fact this only takes place at the margins where players who similarly overestimate there skills criticise others for flying what are logically the most likely choices to yield succes where skill and desernment are lacking. In other words accomplished players do not fear dweeb planes. Similarly the dweeb effect tends to only occur at low altitudes close to the dweebs base as the advantages of dweeb planes are greatest here.

I may have killed the thread now as no one will recognise a dweeb plane now without implcitly admitting they are overestimating themselves.

We shall see

I agree to an extent but maybe we have to have this out now and again. The other big get off for poor skill is he hoed me as though being hoed is unavoidable.

Some pLanes are better than others

but if your a great pilot you score more in the less good ones. There is more to it than that.

Would you rather defend a base at low level in a 51 or a spit 16?
Which would you rather take into an area where you were going to be heavily outnumbered?

What is the hurri 1 p40 etc better at than anything else?

So basically you are here to defend your penchant for the Spitfire XVI.

LOL but I also get sick of hearing all the excuses.

(Penchant eh, I thought English was your second language)

What are Dweeby cartoon pilots like? Let us know and I am sure we will know who you are talking about

Motherland · « **Reply #13 on:** January 21, 2008, 10:59:50 AM »

I have a different meaning... perhaps...
To me, a dweeb plane is one that out-everythings everything. An La7 or Spit 8 or 16 can outturn, out climb, and out run almost everything in the game. There are a couple gleaming planes that can out-do these planes in one or two area's (109K) but they always have strengths to fall back on. 4 Hispano birds are annoying, but they arent quite dweeb planes IMO>

Thanks for filling in some details Yarbles. You know how these posts can head downhill to worthless schoolyard taunting...
