Birds people overlook...
« on: June 10, 2010, 11:33:19 AM »
The FW190F8 I think is the most overlooked plane in the game. The 12 rockets can deack a base in 2 passes and you can still have a 500KG bomb and tons of ammo left. Since it is a 190 its a great diver and is narrow with lots of extra armor making it hard to hit and beat up by ack.

What bird do you fly that you think it gets overlooked by the rest of the community?

dam clicked on this expecting babes   :noid

A20  for me,  cobia explains what it can do in a fight,  and enough bombs to kill a GV army.   Tough as nuts and the 8 50's a treat.

B-25 for me, but the A-20's one of those planes I've always wanted to learn how to fly well.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Man I flew one of those in a furball the other night, super fun little bird.  If you get really close it can take a wing right off.  I had a blast flying it though.

Awfully slow though.

The Yak9U and the 9T. The common response from people regarding this plane is. "Not enough ammo". I like the limited ammo in regards to training myself to be more accurate with my shots, using ammunition more conservatively. The other response is "This thing has no WEP". It doesn't need it. It's a fast, agile buggar of a plane. Fun to fly.

you and youre stupid fighter mode B25s :furious kidding man kidding :aok Basically the A20 is the very easymode B25 when dogfighting. I've killed many planes using A20s because of its turn radius and speed...and that many nose guns can become very...addicting :D

If one simply equates "overlooked" with "least usage in LW", it's easy:

D3A
Bf 110C
C.202

Those three had the lowest "usage" numbers in LW in 2009, having less than 0.1% of all kills and deaths combined.

Everyone seems to want to kill you if your in one, little do they know they have sealed their fate by nosing over into that dive.

spit5, rarely see it anymore since they dropped the ammo loadout :(
Taking an enemy on the battlefield is like a hawk taking a bird. Even though it enters into the midst of a thousand of them, it gives no attention to any bird than the one it first marked.
