I never accept HTH from this guys, even with superior firepower. Ratas are difficult to planes kill if they are aware of your presence in a 1 vs 1 enviroment and very well matched with 109 emil.

I've been playing for a very long time and I've never noticed this. Really? How are these types giving more player kills than others?

I do agree that the I-16 Type 18 and Type 24 which have quite a bit of engine power are fairly good against 109E types. Against the 109F they do not have the performance in the vertical but have very good horizontal performance. The I-16 Type 5 and Type 6 show what the early variants of the plane was like and the performance is significantly less.

I fly the Polikarpovs a lot too, and I always avoid going head-to-head with 109s. That big radial is a hell of a target for a fighter with centrally-mounted guns to miss. While I might not get p/ked because the engine is good to hide behind for the aforementioned reason, it's the same end result if my engine loses power: the 109 pilot will take me out on his next pass while I wallow along like a duck.

The exception would be when the two planes turn in towards each other and I can see that the 109 pilot isn't going to be able to get his nose on me before we reach firing range. Then I'll give him a burst as close to his canopy as I can before I roll and break away. Sometimes that does the trick, especially in the type 24.

Bombers though, well that's the only way to attack the 111 or the 88. Straight on, throttling back so that the burst lasts as long as possible, and then inverting before diving away. They very rarely live through that kind of treatment.

I almost never was pked when flying against spits, i can die due colision or explosion but never pk due a bullet in my cockpit. I fly spits vs 109 for long time.

In air force war, where there are migs, ratas, and other planes with shvaks i was pked much more frequently.

Almost time aircraft is very fit. Take the mig 2xshvak and manage to fire in the fuselage and see by your own.

When flying mig i anchieve more pk than flying another plane. I suggest you fly the mig more often and try. When flying against migs i got pked, when flying it i get pk more often. Maybe piercing ammunition is better. I do not known.

I fly the MiG quite a bit actually... and no I don't have at all the same experience.

What may be the case is that Spitfires have cannons and materially destroy the target aircraft before the chance of a PK. Also because of convergence there is less chance of a concentrated fuselage hit as more rounds hit the wings.

The ShKAS does have a high rate of fire (higher than any other light machine gun) so maybe the chances elevate slightly.

I like the MiG-3.Is a very nice plane.And I-16 is quite strong,can hold well in dogfights,but it´s engine normally stops.Never payed attention to how hard or easy is to be killed on both.

Question:

As you are doing this for free, is there a way to make donations to Team Daidalos?

As far as I know, one of the conditions the Thas signed in order to get the tools from Oleg to do what they do is that they cannot earn anything from their work.

[FlyingShark]

That's harsh.
