April - no late war planes in ma

[Skyyr]

I'm afraid they haven't but I still tried yesterday. Died pretty similar way. And noticed Fi 156 is no match for Skyyr flying 190D.

I wasn't in a D9. I've been in an A5 almost entirely since the tour began.

Those A5s are surprisingly fast going downhill. I remember I barely got away from once once when I was in a D9 hunting ponies.

They were perk rides way back when.

Well, makes no big difference against Fi 156, even I have 1 kill with it. Some overeager picker from stratosphere didn't use vator trim up. Forgotten who it was, not you anyway.

Trying out the A5 mainly.  It's no jug, but watching Skyyr fly it, it looks like poetry in motion.  He has 328 kills in the FW190A-5, at the time of this post, so I'm not sure flying in the MA is materially any less deadly than normal. lol.

But thanks Eagler, for suggesting this.    Maybe we can make this a traditional April "thing"?

what about early KI67v's P-40. Rest of you La7 dweebs stay home and Give the La-5 to those who want them!

[Lusche]

what about early KI67v's P-40.

It's very hard for any P-40 to intercept any well flown Ki-67, especially at optimum altitude, and the 20mm top turret ain't no fun to face with such a little speed difference. 

But I guess you actually meant the Ki-61? 

[Eagler]

Suggested this to help the lesser skilled pilots by putting the best pilots in less powerful planes...

Skyyr is showing the late birds are not required if you know what you are doing

Thanks to those that are giving this a go!

There are players throughout the years who proved this, it's nothing new, you may remember some;
Irishone - 190A5
Paleoguy - 109F
Levi - SpitV
Joachim - 109F
Shane - La5
and just because I want to be included Dolby - 109E

The only really effective player in that list was JOACH1M. And you left out Krupnski.

It's a different ma today then back then

The late war birds should be for those that need the advantage..not the best in ma

I'd be all for limiting the best pilots to early war only and see if it allows newbies to stick around a bit longer

"You may remember some".. Some..

Krupcakes, while effective, spent most of his time fighting in K$ tossing taters like a boss, I didn't cross him in any midwar era aircraft that I remember.

Indeed it was F£$^ing hard flying Midwar planes back then.

You weren't around to opine about others in such a specific way; dolby was.     

I wonder how effective you might have been back then.

I flew against all of them, except for Levi. Every single one was a pushover except JOACH1M. To date, JOACH1M is the best pilot I've ever encountered and who'd I consider the best pilot in the game during the time he played.

Let me guess your reply: "well, they used to be good, before you came here..."

According to your logic, I'm better than Joachim because I play now and he doesn't.       I had my share of encounters with him - fun fights.

I forget what happened in this - we had a disputed result, but I gave to him and he went up vs dr spek for the final. (I even have those films of him/drspek.

We were also in the DFC brackets.

You came in after my time and based on what I currently see from you and put it up against my experience with numerous really good sticks... you're nothing particularly special, possessing a limited skillset which you have currently maximized and against a much diluted player base.

Oh yeah... the picture. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.



Have your fanbois bray some more stats of yours so we can see how you really stack up... how's that k/t coming along? 

[Bopgun]

I bet a lot of old sticks would come back for a Goood ol fashion dueling bracket. What better way to determine who’s truly better?
