Your Bad Luck Plane

[whiteman]

Mine use to be the C-HOG, I'd die in the most bizarre ways. Now it's any P-38, 90% of my flights end in death.

The Mossie... I love the Mossie, but flying a big twin engine bird in the MA is great for one thing...Perfecting forcing overshoots, because everyone within a sector is going to be diving in for a go at you. There isn't a Niki dweeb alive that doesn't feel he's got a good chance of bringing you down with a long spray of 20mm from any angle...I love the plane but being attacked in an "ammo sponge" with that "extreme prejudice" makes for a harsh experience. If you think this is a joke and you only fly a single engine fighter, try taking a twin engine fighter up like the 38, 110, Mossie, etc.

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.

The explanation should be self-evident.

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.

Welcome to the everyday world of not flying a Spitfire.

If you're not flying a Spit 16, La-7, P-51D, or Niki in the MA, you are going to, without a doubt, have every single enemy plane on your six IN Spit 16's, La-7's, P-51D's, and Nikis yelling "MINE MINE MINE!"

There's an easy way to change that:

262

[Becinhu]

262 hands down. I either disco, auger, or snap a wing off at the slightest control input every sortie.

[valdals]

my bad luck plane is the a20.

[smokey23]

Spitty any spitty from the pink one to the green one doesnt matter which it is, As soon as the gear leaves the ground i start writeing my farwell letter home

[Yenny]

I would have to say 262. Every time I up a 262 I usually never bring it home. I remember one time, took up a 262 for a furball at A63. As soon as I upped it, I think AoM had a 262 mission inbound to us. There were like 15 enemy 262s flying around taking shots at my helpless 262 that just got air borne

I truly love all the Spits(1,5,Seafire,8,9,16,14)!  However, the Spit 9 eludes me.  I auger.  I spin out of control.  I die a lot.  Bad luck?  I like to think so!  Do not get me started on the 262.  I can fly it.  I can get kills in it.  I have never landed one.  This has got to be bad luck.

Yaks.

Yakkitty Yak, don't talk back.
