- Hunt69
~ I fly mostly the BF109 and occassionally I may find my way into a Spitfire, but only on occassion. I tried out the FW-190 for awhile, but found it prone to stalling in slow-speed turns at low altitude, the BF-109 (or the pig as I call it) does the job well for me.
I have been in the Army for 10 years and am a Staff Sergeant. 10 more and I can retire at a young 38yrs.
Howdy Hunt, welcome to the sty!....OMG, you were probably born the year I graduated from high school ("Hey, hey, we're so fine, we're the class of '69")!
Yep, the FW is a "boom & zoom" ride, not a turn-and-burn dogfighter. Awesome firepower, though...the "Boss Hawg" (Stoopmeister) favors it. I liked the 109, once I got a handle on it...and could hold my own with even the Spits...thankfully, there's a nice 109 for FS9 as well!
So, wha' yer MOS? Better gimme' the title, too, if it's anything but 11-series as a lot of stuff changed over the years...
So...they got any armor up there at what I assume is Ft. Lewis where you're based? (I passed through Lewis once, on my way to S.E.A., long ago, but lived in the NW years later).
Settle in and mark off a spot in the hog wallow...!
