I'd rather not Hazed. The “top four” planes are complete crap unless you know how to fly them, and the 2-weekers don’t. The Pony’s are buzzing around like silver rockets, blazing away, but never hitting. Those that don’t run die quickly. The Spit’s are like old homing torpedoes always pointing their nose at me … roping them is so easy it’s ridiculous. The Nikki’s are like bigger Spits, no more a threat … just a bigger target. The La7’s are perhaps the easiest of them all, a few MG pings and they start turning. The only risky part about engaging La7’s is that it might be Shane … guess that why he’s so dangerous in it. He flies it like it should be flown.
Of the 14 deaths I have so far in this tour only one was credited to a Spit, and one to a Nikki. The rest are to more obscure planes like F4U and bombers, and I don’t fly a late war monster, or uberturner. I fly a 1941 model 109F4, average in every respect and that’s why I love it, keeps my options open.
Let the 2-weekers have their rides, makes my day easier.
