I finally finished my Tempest. I did not enjoy that grind.

hate to tell you, but the Sea Chicken grind is x10 times worse.
I probably won't bother. I don't enjoy period 3 game play, so I hardly see the point.

keep your head up. i hear nice things about the tier 10.
Not that i would know. Because yeah the sea chicken grind is a pain and i have alot of other planes i could be flying..
Like Fokkewulf's (all done but for the teir 10)
and BV P.goblin.gliders.
Speaking of ... I finally got around to specing the 212.03 his weekend. (i've been busy! I swear)
It is just like specing the 210.
i.e. too fun to call a grind.
Now i just need to harvest the credits to buy the 215.02
which should be a completely different experience as a flying dispenser of the #MacrossMissleMassacre

Fair warning. My success rate at speculative guesswork is on par with my WinRate. Hit or Miss.
I start on the right track and then sometimes make a weird left turn and get lost in the weeds ...

I finished up my Ki-88 last night. I had six ADA aircraft needed. I did kills spamming the plane in Crimson Tide, but obviously couldn't get the ADA.

Finished up the Mosquito 26 today. I did the kills during bomber escort, and only had caps left to finish.

I recall some years ago, me encouraging you to do HFs...
So now, let me encourage you to fly the planes that fly SORT OF like HFs - energy fighters. If you like the Me-210, you'll LOVE the Bf-109E. The He-100. MiG-3. That's T5. 
love both the Emil and the Mig-3 and the p-40 was my first fav T5 and i also own the he-100, but never once flown it

Spec'd the F5F this afternoon. Ultimate Gear added almost 40 kph to cruise speed and +2 to Maneuver stat. Took it out for a spin, and it FELT like a heavy at last, speedwise. It's still under-gunned, but having some accuracy and damage boost from the Ultimate Long Barrels was certainly a help in that regard. Still need two more skill points for AdEx to really boost the equipment bonuses.

High alt, turny, fast. Guns are super-weak.

Had a stonkin' game in the HG III, and realized that I was only 17 kills short of Spec. So, two games later, I've got wings on the HooplaG III. The test run was pleasant, extra speed and a bit faster "nose around" time always nice, and the accuracy boost from the Long Barrels was very welcome.

Just specialized the P-39N. The plane was good before, and it is still good, but isn't transformed.
loved the N, but couldn't get any production out of the Q 90%-ish the same planes, really
there's a thin blue line between what i can't fly and what i can

the extra .30 cals in the N make a big difference. I feel the same way about the difference between the P-51A and the Mustang I. Those 4 extra .30 cal guns at T6 are worth the altitude and speed it loses out to the P-51A.

Spec'd the BV P.210 "batplane" yesterday. Noticed a few days back that I was fairly close in both batplanes, so put some flights into the P.210 for a couple days, and reached the milestone. Between Ultimate gear and retraining the Pilot in AdEx, I added a full 10 points to Maneuverability stat. My test run was interfered with by a hotshot YAK-3Rd on an annoying map, but overall, I was loving the improvements. I then put a few games into the Tier IX. That one needs a session or two more.

Took another session, but got the Tier IX batplane to Spec as well. The Ultimate gear made less of a numerical impact then Tier VIII, but I already had AdEx on the pilot. Test run was a Tier X battle where Kingwicked and a GAVCA Ace were playing at a different level of ground pounding. I managed to catch the GAVCA bomber just after squall, and I suspect that was the main reason that my side won. (thanks for the carry, King!!!) 
dear DOG that was a hectic game!
