Wonder how long this will last, or after 400hrs and 2,000 sorties later:)

Can I get some cool wquip with that?

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Lot of great advice from you all.  Thank you very much. :salute :rock

Going to learn this, and yes, will likely be thousands of sorties in the next two tours. :)

Set up some training time with Silat or Delireum. Pawz or AKAK know a thing or too, as well.

Figuring the kid may be finally trying to get the training wheels off..... not sure as he is ignored. If he is trying to learn the 38 he will see just how easy the spit/trainer is. The 38 is just one of the birds in Aces High that actually takes quite some time to master.

If he is actually trying to shed his training wheels I wish him luck in his endeavor.

used properly it is an extremely deadly plane.....I would say it takes more discipline to fly, sticking to its strengths,  not necessarily skill....obviously, different then the spit 8/9/16  ..... still used right the 38 with its ballistics, the climb.... the speed.....
it is one to be wary of, especially when I know someone who flies its constantly around and is good, who will fight in it, not just tr to turn right away, but using the vert just enough, not BnZing 4K away.....then I know I am in for a fight.....


it is gonna take middy a long time to get there, the one difference is he will be dieing to noobs again, he wont like that and in 3 weeks he will go back to spit. :rofl (if that)

Make sure you don't take more than 50% fuel... If you need more fuel take Drops...

Other than that drain your RA and LA fuel first so you can get a smidge better roll rate...

Try to stay away from flat turns  :rock

lol i always take 100 fuel plus a drop and i love flat turns

Yes there the only ones :headscratch:

OMG! Another 38 stick in the making? I agree with Ink, not as an insult though (and I don't think Ink was trying to insult). I have done pretty well in the PonyD and can handle most of the other birds per se, but mastering is very frustrating. I spent a couple tours doing a majority in the Dora and it gets plain frustrating to lose far more then you win.

Best of luck on it. The big question, if you do in fact master this are you going to start flirting with the 80th? If so, my vote they have to take you into the fold.
