Spawn killing, not really, if I go for someone taking off the guy has at least a minute to live because I won't come into range of the flak guns on his base, because these going off would alert him to there being an enemy in the immediate area and ruin the kill

What it boils down to is the defending airforce should protect its airstrip.

I suppose it is the airborne equivalent of sniping, which I suspect isn't much fun for the troops on the other end. However, it isn't impossible to counter, all you need to do is climb to altitude yourself when you get a chance and then come looking for me, I'm quite happy to engage in such 1v1 altitude fights with little or no chance of outside interference. Also, if I was really being unsporting, I would fly a jet and use the same tactics, they are even better in this role and virtually impossible to catch. Anyway, would you mind defining moving camping, it seems like a contradiction in terms to me. Are you saying trying to retain an altitude advantage over you enemies is camping? Also, I don't get the Steve Davis reference. Would you care to elaborate?

On almost all servers there's a gentleman's agreement not to, as people play to dogfight each other and getting shot up when you can't fight back yet over and over isn't going to be a good experience for anyone. Most of the time when it happens you can't rely on other planes to protect the airfield as they'll be miles away in an engagement or stuck on the ground with you (as your allies get shot down they end up stuck with you until the whole team is getting shot to pieces by vulchers). You are allowed to attack planes on the ground with bombs and rockets if it's your mission to attack the airfield however. If you end up getting vulched repeatedly a last resort tactic is: Change to a bomber of some sort and outfit the largest bombs available (you know where this is going). Sit on the ground and wait for the offending aircraft to come in for a pass and as he moves over you, drop the bombs. The wonderful shrapnel system in Il-2 will swiss cheese his plane and send him into the ground (netting you a kill). Then you just change back and take off.

You have to catch me to kill me, or be pretty good at snap shots, and the closest even a La-7 comes to matching performance with a 109K4 is below 5000ft where it is slightly faster in a straight line and only slightly worse at climbing. Above this the gap grows quite rapidly, with the K4 having 40mph top speed and over 1000ft climb per min over a La-7 at 20,000ft. The gap in performance to a Yak 3 is even bigger. Tell you what though, if you want a TnB fight I'll fly a Spitfire XVI and you can fly a Yak-3. Pretty good match up, I think you would agree.

Between a MkXIV and Yak-3? That could be interesting, but I think a MkIX Spit would be a better match.
