Concerning high eny aircraft.
« on: August 20, 2009, 06:47:34 PM »
When I first came into the game and heard all the vets talk about how they would rather fly the challenging airplanes I really didnt believe them. But now? Frankly I have more fun upping a 239 or Yak then I do a 262. Or a pitiful slow IL2.

And it aint about perk points. Its about "fun". I actually just landed a 262 cause it wasnt "fun" flying it.

And its a great, exciting airplane. A real bonus in the game.

But bring on the Yaks, the Brewsters, the zeros, the cheaper Spits and Corsairs.

I get it now. :salute

The Yak kicks butt and doesn't deserve inclusion in this thread except for its required gunnery discipline.

Honestly, who cares if someone flies a low or high ENY plane?  As long as they're having fun flying the plane they're in, all the power to them.  I can't help but snicker at those that feel they've become 'experten' if they fly a high ENY plane.

I just switched Yaks...  The 9U is just ridiculous.  One 37mm shot... done <====  not that I can do that with any frequency    :lol

Oh and on another note.  I never flew the spit 16 just because everyone called a newb plane and I didn't want to be ridiculed.  I tried it the other day and guess what....?  That is a freakin newb plane.  Way to easy to fly...

Well the 9-T is the one with the tater launcher, but they are both quite capable aircraft.  I fly the 109-g6 as my main ride for the same reasons -- it is fun and a challenge.  That and of course the mighty luft-style points.   :aok

30+ is the number that it shall be known as...
...and the number shall be 30+
...for sooth he on high saw the number 30+ and said it was good!!
...and so it was.

REAL men drive A8's eh! :D :uhoh :D

oh ya - ack ack - I don't think everyone has the "i'm an experten" attitude you indicate (some do no doubt)  - but more like me i think - I'm a lousy shot and keep falling outa the air but I LOVE a challenge - it's like golf - I'm not out there to beat you - I'm out there to beat myself - after 40 years of golf still haven't broken 100 but there's ALWAYS tommorrow!  heheheh
,,,AND still having a blast.

Go grab someone off the street who has never played this game before, sit him down in your chair, turn the engine on, and tell him to have fun.

See how well he does in each of those three planes.  There's one in particular that is going to give him more trouble.

You can even take off for him, if you're feeling very generous...  The results will be the same.

The Yak-9T has the same 37mm cannon as the IL2. Only one of them.

Same ballistics, same ROF, same everything. Not to be mistaken for the Colt 37mm on the P-39.

Its probably the best anti-Tank cannon of the war. On an airplane that is.
