BlitzPig_EL Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Can't wait to fly the Wildcat again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzPig_EL Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 To be truthful I also can't wait to take off from Akagi in the A6M2, but I really, really want to get back into the "seat" of the Buffalo again, and hopefully a P40 that can actually be flown like pilots did in the real thing, unencumbered by some silly, artificial clock that triggers engine failure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusekofte Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Well I wonder how wildcat would do against A6M2. Latter will be like 109 in Europe scenery. It is a lot of performance difference there. Only upside is dive and not being a zippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzPig_EL Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 It's all about tactics and team work with the Wildcat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBFlyguy Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Figured I'd post another vid from the EAA channel.

Wasn't it Flatley who said, nothing dives with a Wildcat? Probaply not in '42 alright but the Hawk 75 I guess, which I hope to see again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
