Ty for your answer, good material specially the fight from Voss, what an amazing pilot, what a thrill... also the Fokker Dr.I is one of my favorite planes of all times.

Hmm...everyone has excellent questions. But....I have a question too. If I have been playing the mamba a lot (because it was the only ship I had) is it worth it to switch to kingfisher? In other words, which is better for what situation?

Btw, I just want to add a bit of advice that has worked well for me; when you are about to obtain the flag in CTF, MAKE A 360. This usually allows me to boost away and have other pilots overshoot me.

Hi FireOfEarth,
The Kingfisher is certainly worth acquiring. Consider the Kingfisher to be a solid upgrade in nearly every category from the Mamba;
- rocket reload time is improved, allowing you to spam rockets at a rate 1 rocket per 2 seconds
- fast cannon has excellent range and heavier damage, though takes practice to use when you've been using only machine guns
- higher acceleration means less drift, though every ship drifts less than the Mamba
- heavier shielding allows you to tank more damage
- narrow ship profile makes you hard to hit

The Kingfisher is a fast and solid ship. Whatever turret-destroying record you have with the Mamba will be blown away after you add a few upgrades to this ship.
I advise you upgrade all the afterburner stats first, then worry about the rest.

Good luck!

I know that it is a fast and solid ship....I've used it. However, should I wait for more upgrades(it is about half category upgraded) or start using it more?

The more practice you have with the Fast Cannon, the better off you'll be; I always try earn all the upgrades for my ships by flying the new ship.
