Your Bad Luck Plane
« on: September 11, 2008, 05:36:25 AM »
What plane do you seem to just have bad luck in all the time?

I've been trying out the C-Hog a bit, and it's a great plane! Fast, nimble, and above all its packin 4 20mm's. However, it seems every time I get in it I'm the enemies #1 target, and they'll do everything virtually possible to kill me. I've had niki's spraying all the ammo at me from 1.0K out, TYPHies attempting to ram me, and every plane pull as hard on the stick as humanly possible to get a shot in. Just today I was circling above a niki and spit making sure they didn't go after some friendlies trying to RTB to a nearby base (they sunk our CV). I will never know how, but the Spit climbed straight up from 2K to 8K and somehow was still faster than my F4U at 300mph. I've had Wirbles miss every shot on me at 200-800, and then somehow rip my tail off as I just get out of their range too!

I just have the worst luck in the F4U-1C

hmm.... It really depends. If I'm flying solo, just about any plane really. But, if I'm flying in pairs (Which I usually do) I'll usually do good in just about any plane. I think the best way to fight effectively is in pairs, have one person bait him, while the other goes for the kill, never stay more than 2k away from eachother in case one starts to get ganged.


Worst even in pairs is though, the P-39. When I up one, I prepare to fight 3-6 people.

That's an easy one for me- when bad things happen I'm invariably in one of the F4U varients...

You ride a perk I find you always become target one. When C-hogs are vulching a base with other aircraft I tend to sit in the manned ack & let the others slide by. How ever if I can nail a C-hog though :rock :rock :rock. Sorry.

262 without a doubt.  Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.
