The Ki-61 will be to the MC.202, what the F4U-1C is to the F4U-1D. Maybe.

I LIKE flying the second best planes.  I get a kick out of beating the so-called "best" aircraft.

But the C.202 is a bit TOO much of a second line fighter even for me.  The C.205 is as far down the list as I go there.

It just feels more rewarding to get the kills in the 202, La5FN and 109G6, than if flying the 205, La7 and 109G10.

+ you can blame it on the plane when you get shot down.

Snefens, the La-5FN is an excellent fighter below 18K. Better than the C.205. The C.202 is there becouse ... well, I dunno why.

Was gonna say, you can get kills in tbe La-5FN (and lots) and the G6.  The 202 is a beautiful plane; it's fun as hell, but with its guns and speed it is an assist machine. You pretty much have to catch someone at the top of a loop to have him in guns range long enough to deliver a lethal burst.

Hey Snefens are you quoting me?  

I fly the 202 every once in a while when I get bored.

I remember saying to someone after I was killed that if I had cannon he would be dead. I wasn't saying it to be a butt hole but because he crossed right in front(I could have spit on him) of me and I had a perfect shot but didn't have the guns to bring him down.

The 202 IS fun to fly but  it's also fun to kill people in it just so you can tease em about it.

Yup, went into furball fever last night in the 202 for the first few fights. You can get on just about anyone's six, but you have to be there a long time to kill them. It is a smooth, fun ride, but as Mighty1 said you often lose the fight because the guy you are against has the cannons.

Had a good one with Zigrat last night where his SpitV finally finished me. He used the .303's to finish me, but had I had even one cannon early in the fight...

Gatt, meant to say that it's why I fly 202 and not 205, La5 not La7 and G6 not G10. Not that 205 is better than La5.

Mighty, if I did quote you it was not intentionally.  
I can't remember that I ever put that in the text buffer, but I have said it to myself to comfort me

I like the C202. It's an Underdog, just like the Ju88. And I like them both  

It's fun to fly with it. Yes its slow, got terrible MG's. But in my oppinion its got a good roll rate.

Maybe is the reason that this game is fun for me and not a competition.

My 1st flight in a C.202 this tour resulted in me downing a Fw190D-9 and an La7 before being downed by a P-51D (I think I got it too).

My 2nd flight resulted in about a 5 minute turn fight with multiple aircraft, I remember an F4U-1C (the guy that got me, he said it was a cheap shot after the others hed bled all my e), 1 or 2 Spits and 1 or 2 N1K2s.  Unfortunately I didn't get any on my 2nd flight.

Maybe I'll take one up again tonight.

Oh, I fly it for the challenge and perk points when I fly it.

metronom,
I too fly the Ju88 when I need a medium bomber.  Earlier this tour I set a new bomber kill record for myself while flying the Ju88.  I was attacked simultaneously by an Fw190 of some kind, an La7 and an N1K2.  I caused damage to each that resulted in either them bailing out (Fw190) or something later that got me the kill (crashing while landing?).  Later in the flight, trying to get my now pulverized bomber home, I was attacked my another N1K2 and a Bf109.  The N1K2 got there first and we blew eachother's left wings off, but as I was falling the Bf109 killed me so I didn't get credit for the 2nd N1K2.  Thats better than I've ever done in a B-17 or Lancaster.
