GET OUT OF THE NOOB PLANES

[~ZoSo~]

It's not the uber-sticks that need to challenge themselves - they've been there, done that, that's why they're "uber"   

It's the over reliance by mediocre sticks on those frowny-faced tactics of running, ganging, picking, hoing, etc... 

I get what you’re saying but I tend to agree with DmonSlyr and considering my own experience. I imagine there might some sort of fun in clubbing baby seals. Maybe I’m just jealous cause I never get to do it.   I guess it never gets boring.

I like clubbing baby seals and pretending to be Uber 

That is why we need noobs isn't it ?

Used to be you could de ack a base, noobs would just keep upping and then you could land 10 kills and feel like a big shot 

Getting this  again and again without crying about it on here or 200 is the real test of character. I do wonder how whinge bags cope with life and its real defeats !!

When I fly Monday Night Madness it reminds me who I really am 

I reccomend it 

Lets you know who you really are 

Fly to get better and put off dementia is the way forward and set a good example of what we British call gentlemanly behavior and good sportsmanship. You don't have to rise to the bait everytime some adolescent calls you out because you burst their bubble do you ? I don't think you do. People know who has skills. If someone is a great stick people know it they just don't always want to admit it but they know.  More worrying is if they think they are and they aren't. My experience is then they call others out on here or 200. That to me is obvious.

running, ganging, picking, hoing, etc... 

Appart from Hoing that is my whole skill set right there   .

Maybe work on my Ho ing

I guess I just like a challenge. I also know my skill level isn’t at a level to fly a Tempest effectively. So I tend to fly a Spit9 exclusively. No running away or catching anyone in that one. Gosh, I hope you don’t confuse my observations with whining. Like Neil Young once said “Doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you”.  It’s just a game. Does It Ever End, I’m Bored, Why Do We Have 200? But yeah , whatever.

Spit 9 

Biggest challenge for me  is when you fight 1 v 1 against the 16 as it seems like exactly the same thing only better. 200 extra hp and better roll rate

From what I understand, the 16 was based on the 9 and the 14 on the 8.

From what I understand, the 16 was based on the 9 and the 14 on the 8. 

Yes the 16 just has a better engine than the 9 and everyone hates it because it is so good for AH style fights. The 9, 5 and 16 have the same air frame the 14 and 8 have a different one.

I admire the sticks in here now who fly 51's and 47's but will dog fight a spit low and slow. That takes skills I don't have. I fly the Spit because I am British and I grew up with the legend. I also like the Hurricane and Mossie for the same reason. I am the first to admit the spit is one of the easiest planes to fly. IF I was newer to the game and I just wanted to get kills without dieing I would fly a 51 fast and pick.  Keep it fast and run if you are in trouble. I was taught keep it over 6k and fast. When there is a 51 around and I am in a spit I get kneck ache 

If your not uber and get tired of  you need a way to succeed but don't give "the big I am" or complain about what other people do on here or 200 or you just look a fool.

Back in the day people used to fly Zero's and complain about 51's extending. I mean FFS just say "come here and stand still while I shoot you" 

[~ZoSo~]

Yeah, true.

[Lazerr]

Fly whatever you want, as long as you are mixing it up and not taking 500mph passes from 20k on a furball.

[Shuffler]

We used to deack a base so that we could fly inverted through their fighter hangars.

[Eagler]

Don't fly them but at one time spits had one ping lasers for guns

Is that still the case?

Only when they’re shooting at me.

I fly the Spit because I am British and I grew up with the legend.

I have observed this over the...er...decades.  The Spitfire exerts a mystical hold over Englishmen, far greater than Mustangs and Lightnings and Thunderbolts do for everyone else (OK, Yaks too).  I think Englishmen should be exempt from derision (for flying the Spit, only), because the English do bring a special enthusiasm to the game.

Finns are the same with the Brewster and G2.

And we fly the Mossie and Hurricane

Hispanos are the best cannons in the game. Amazing how many folks don't fly the hurricane w/ 4 20s. It actually outurns the spits too.
