climbs ok, just not great. Ive only ever flown the pony for occasional squad sweeps (probably 1 sortie a month) usually landing with a couple of assists only, so decided I should spend some time in it this tour, seeing as its the most popular AH ride and an icon too.
taken me a couple of weeks to start to get the hang of it, the one thing that strikes me is that its nowhere near as bad a turner as some make out. I flew the corsair for a tour recently so got used to really working flaps (new for me as I usually fly typh, spit8, 190) which has helped alot. if anything at higher speeds the pony seems to benefit more from flaps than the corsair, I'm using a notch pretty much any time I manouver. of course at lower speeds the corsair is the flap king

the one problem for me because there are so many in the MA is that you end up fighting other ponies alot, made me realise how much I rely on exploiting the differences between aircraft in a fight, with identical aircraft its easy for a fight to end up as stalemate. that and the runstang comments
