sims - I think the F6F was a good suggestion. And then encourage your friend to learn the F4U-1D, which I think is a better gun platform than the F6F and most other planes.

Of course, the F4U1D is not for turnfighting against Spits, N1Ks and La7.

But for survivability, there's the EasyMode™ P51. :p

so i told him to fly hellcat

what do you all think is a good plane for new comers that uses 50 cals as there main weapon

im thinking the hellcat is good

while the P51D seems good for learning the boom zoom but he needs a good knife fighter and the P51 just can not do that well


FYI....spit9 still has .50cals......500 rounds of em....and you can pretty much turn turn turn inside almost any plane

tell em to learn ACM before giving 2000 rounds of SPRAYING ammo

Ya gotta love it:D


I know something which turns worse than a8, can't our run anything, has terrible ballistics and do not climb at all. It is a real brick, at least by a shape.

It is a tower. :)

2 .50's on a plane don't really mean anything.  It's the damage over time that matters.  I.E quick burst of the spit's .50's will be a 4 round hit or so.

Quick burst from a Thunderbolt will be a 20 round hit...

spit will turn inside your 8 .50cals.....

Slow's right...besides if you can't hit with hizookas you've got problems...As for a first plane to start out with, i'd suggest the P-38, just because its a really stable platform to learn how to shoot with.

It also has center line guns which means concentrated fire power and not worrying about convergence.  Even without the 20mm, the quad .50s on the P-38 are extremely deadly.  

Unfortunately, while it might be a stable gun platform, the plane is less forgiving to those not familiar with it and make shooting more difficult than it has to be.

Yep. Take alt, dive thru huge furball, press trigger and keep it there.... and keep also your eyes closed. Dont turn...  continue speeding to nearest friendly field and land your 8 kills. :D

Try the 202.  I was flying it for a month after I signed up.  (I could not figure out why I was only getting assists and dieing so often) Didn't know any better :D.  Let hime have some fun.  Use something with cannons
