I kind of have to agree about this with SEE.
Though I'm not advocating any kind of 'regulation' on vulching, I'm certain that the solution to seeing Mk IIa's on the server is not to just shoot anything that moves on a runway. At least don't claim it as some kind of 'virtuous' act for the benefit of the server population.
What would YOU do if you tried to get airborne and every time you took your plane out, someone with a better performing, better situated plane shot you down? Pick a better plane? Or quit I suppose.
Actually, I don't have to ask, that's exactly what some of the 109 pilots are saying they do when they see a Mk. IIa on the server, only they can't pick a better plane so they choose option B and quit.
I'm still not totally convinced that the IIa is the undefeatable uberplane people are saying it is. If it is such a superior plane, find a wingman and fly with them. It's not hard. Just hang about your airfield or region until you find another pilot and form up. Don't need to be on coms, or chat or whatever. Just latch onto his wing and fly with him. Probably most encounters you're having are against single aircraft anyway unless it's bomber ai. 2v1 should defeat this Mk IIa unless you're swiftly bounced with no warning.
Anyway, it's just getting to me. I'm sucking it up in my Mk Ia against all you guys and trying hard and having some success for it. If the Mk IIa is on by mistake, give the ATAG guys a little credit for their hard work and do your best. You might find you have one of your best flights and come up a winner against this super plane and that'll probably feel pretty good. I suggest escorting bombers with high top cover. Any RAF pilot worth his salt should be trying to take out the bombers before the fighters anyway. Plus, he's likely to think you're a friendly fighter attacking the bombers and you can surprise him.
PS. Please don't tell me to 'just fly the hurricane'. I'm not a hurricane pilot. I've got nothing against the hurricane. It did all the hard work and the spitfire got all the praise for it. I'm just not interested in flying it.
