Would be nice if everyone did it. In my case, makes no big difference.  I've noticed flying faster late war kite I arrive faster to the spot where I die.

Sure, I'll trade in my F4U-1A on squad nights for the -1. I'll even do my attacks runs in Wildcats, so i guess I'll be on de-ack duty.

Good idea Eagler, I'm not a great stick but I'm in.

Same.  :cheers: 

I’m willing to bet 75% or more of my kills have been in MW or EW planes. Now I’ll have to go look.

Which is an important point.  Trying to get somewhere where there is a fight before it evaporates away is probably some portion of the choice of LW planes.  Maybe combining this with the Tiny Tuesday idea of a micro map would make sense.  ;)

I can’t fly worth a damn in any plane but would a 110g2 meet the criteria? On top of that my marksmanship sucks so I need a plane like the 110 that comes supplied with a lot of potatoes.  Otherwise I’ll be in an 109 F4 for April.

Now, when it's already 2. April at this side of pond, I can tell my suspicion about the date Eagler made his post...

I can think of two squads that are gonna pick the crap out of you guys.

Maybe you guys could put a couple 262s in there to run off the picker groups when they show up?

I read that lw as Luftwaffe planes, eagler.. lol.  I thought that would be a relief to not see eagler in a 109! :)

I'm in... for at least 90% of the time, I think. Either a -1 Corsair, or a Jug D11 (unfortunately, despite the 25 ENY factor, the -25 is LW), or maybe branch out to a 190A5 or Spit 9 or Ki61. That will help get the EW and MW acheivements.
