I wish I hadn't been reminded about Hannants. Now I've got a MIG-29 and a Sukhoi SU-27 on the way that I didn't want or need.

Aye, Yak 3 is a brutal plane.

Are you an IL2-FB fan?

I prefer the FW-190 A9, D9 and Ta 152 personally. Boom and zoom for the win.

Aye. I can't do boom and zoom, too fixed into turning. I like flying the Gladiator because its impossible to stall.

I know what you mean, when I drop the 2k feet onto someone, and then miss, the urge to turn after them, rather use the speed to re-climb, is very tempting.

I need to get a set of pedals to be honest, trying to tap the rudder using the keyboard to line up the sights, while dropping on someone at 700kmph is pretty damn difficult.

But it pays off in the end when your cannon hit

The 109 D9 is a bit odd though, with sfficient speed you can out-turn a Spit. Speed falls off very fast though, so you have to be quick about finishing him.
