Which one of these planes would you take to the air?

Citabria · « **Reply #1 on:** August 31, 2003, 01:05:02 PM »

g6 30mm or 3 20mm always do well

I always do bad in the g2 dunno why

G-6 for me.

I can turn "inside" against every fighter except spits, P-38s, and 109E4/F4s.

BTW how many rounds of MK-108s do i need to fire to "blow up" a fighter?

G-2 here. Usually with gunpods. If I want the 30mm, I'll take the G10.

Ike, if you think the G-6 turns well, give the G-2 a shot.

The 30mm almost always knocks off something essential with a single hit. Hit them anywhere near the cockpit, and they'll blow up in one shot. With the 30mm, concentrate on firing 2-3 round bursts from a position that you can't miss.

Here's a great link about G-6 info from Soda's aircraft evaluations.

Well I always liked the G6 over the G2 because I think the firepower of the MG131 was useful over the MG17 and of course the MK108 option though I almost always now take G6 with a single 20mm. I never take pods. But recently I have run up a string of 10 kill sorties in the G2 without pods, so maybe its not so bad. But I will agree with Citabria that for me the G2 has also been a bad luck plane while the G6 is more lucky, I donno.

It's interesting the decision to make between these two aircraft. The G2 is actually the better performer/handler while the G6 has a clear firepower advantage (even without the 30mm). I like the G2 because it still offers turn-rate that can catch people offguard (they think all 109's can't turn) but I think a lot of people pick the G6 so they can have 13mm cowl guns and 30mm spinner cannon.

I tend to go G2, no gondolas, when I want a change from the G10.

I have some new pages to put up on my website for the 109's but simply haven't had the time.... maybe this week.

Neither, grab the Franz w/ out the gondolas, what a ride...

G-2, if there are Spitfires and N1K2s around.

G-6, if otherwise.

a poor man's spit 14 (in turnfights)

I have very little experience with the g6 and i find it hard to hit a moving plane w/ the 30mm. The other day i was fiting a spit V in a g6 w/ 30mm and i could never get a shot on the plane Luckily he couldnt either so i disengaged and headed home. How do i shoot down a spit V w/ the 30mms in a 1v1 fight?

Get closer D=300 and shoot ONLY if he's flying horizontal for 1 or 2 secs

don't forget that the G6 has the nicer cockpit glass. It's called the Galland hood isn't it?

It's not a huge difference but it's somthing to consider. Never underestimate visibility.

I prefer the G2, but no 30mm so I take gondolas, dweeb that I am!

Devourer. In this *game*, I have found the best way to get kills 1-v-1 is to tempt your quarry into thinking he's going to get a cheap HO shot, then rope him upwards. He loses E and stalls, and that's when you pounce. If you like, I can send you a film or two.

Doh! I mentioned the four letter BBS F-word - FILM. I do apologise, dear Moderator, and will fly 100 LA7 sorties as penance.
