One thing I learned about when flying a Tempest for the whole tour, was that I had to refuse defensive manuevers on planes that gained my 6. I had to literally extend away from the entire fight everytime I made a pass. In retrospect, it's just a BnZer. I cringed at the fact that I had a P51 or yak behind me, and I couldn't risk getting in a slow turn fight. The Temp is horrendous at that. This was the most boring type of flying for me. So I ask myself. Is it worth it to fly the fastest planes in the game, just to not worry about dying, but not being able to fight it out against other planes. Or would I rather get kills counterpunching planes on my 6 and being able to take on planes 1 v 1 or 1v2 without having to extend away every time? That's why I'm able to get a lot more kills per sortie than most BnZers. When you learn how to get different types of kills in this game it makes it a lot more fun and challenging. This game isn't fair in terms of player game style. You have to really understand the fight. but if you only fly with one "lazy" game style. You prolly aren't having as much fun as you could be.
