Lucky and unlucky?
« on: November 21, 2008, 11:45:32 PM »
I've finally learned my two lucky and unlucky planes....

My luckiest plane is the P38G... for some reason, I'm just destined to do good in that plane.

My unluckiest plane (and sadly a plane I love to fly) is the F6F... I seem to just get in the midst of the horde when I'm flying that plane :lol

What are your lucky/unlucky plane(s)?

I fly a pretty diverse plane set...38J, F4U's the most. My lucky plane would probably be the F4U1. I can outturn any plane and seem to survive the longest, sometimes making it home. My unlucky plane would be the P39...every time I fly it, I die in it, bar none.

P-39 is a plane I can't fly worth a damn until I get the feel for it. If it's my first sortie of the day... I wont get a single kill, but if I've warmed up and flown it around a bit, I'll do good.

My most lucky plane is the 234, but that falls into the category of "making my own luck". My unluckiest plane is easily the IL2. No matter what is happening, when I up one, the one nme that is being chased by 9 of my countrymen will get chased directly to a perfect cockpit shot on me.

1plus, no luck is involved.   All you need to do, is fly the Hellcat for a Tour.   Try and get in 60-80 sorties in it.    If you get the crap kicked out of you, roll it again.    If you land 10 victories, roll it again.   Practice, practice.    When you get pushed down in it, get back up and keep at it.   

There is no such thing called luck.   A man makes his own luck.     

I'm out of town until the 29th in Sacramento.   When I get back, I'd be more than happy to help you get better in it.

My luckiest plane has to be a 109G-6, no matter where I am, or what I am doing, I always seem to get kills, no matter if I land them or not. Another think is, It dosn't matter what kind of disadvantage I'm at, I always seem to last as long as possible, before someone comes and helps me, and its not just planes that are the same as me, I'm fighting 2 picking ponies, or a spit and a Hurri, or maybe its even 3v1, I always seem to get out of there alive.
My unluckiest plane, has to be the Temp, I love the plane, I always get kills in it, but when it comes out to getting alive, I never land it, I remeber I had 13 kills in it and got HOed by one spit, that came outa no were. Or the one picker in the horde always comes after me when I just come out of a loop, its crap like that, that I never usually land the plane.

Technically Karaya, no, the other person makes your luck. You have done what you could have done to make it the best possble situation, its up to the other guy or guys to make a mistake that you can advantage of. In agreeence with the other portion of it yes, I do agree that practice makes perfect. Why do you think I ask other people twice my skill to fight them? the simple fact that it makes you better. There are of course, some tricks on your own that you gain from, which will make you better.
