1-What is your nr. 1 choice as a:
Turn and burn fighter(spit, zero etc)

2-What is your nr. 1 choice as a:
Bom And Zoom fighter(P-51, 190D9 etc)

3-What is your nr. 1 choice as a:
Jabo fighter(F4u, P47 etc.)

And pleas tell me why you choos that plane?

-----

1. TNB HurricaneIIC, turns like a Zero but can roll good as well. Great gun load out, just little ammo. Also dives well for such a great turner. Plus, most importantly much style

2. BNZ P47-30 Hurmm.. youve fought one right? i shouldnt have to explain this one to much

. awesome diver, good stabilty at high speeds, rolls awesome at high speeds, turns awesome at high speeds. Great flaps for low speeds, new added powerful WEP. And i shouldnt forget to mention the 8 x .50s with a collective firing rate of 6500 rounds per minute (roughly 108 rounds a second!

) you cannot go wrong, if it flies infront of you it dies

3: Jabo P47-30. Great range (almost 400 gallons of fuel), awesome ord load (max 2x1000lbs 1x500lbs and 10 HVAR rockets). Dive brakes and a stable diver. And also i should note the "armor" (for what its worth anyhow) helps against ground fire when diving in, but you will stil get the occasional 1 ping kill not only from the lazer armed spits but also the SAM sites at the bases.

Spoit V. They can run, but they can't hide.

Yak 9U. So much fun to run down a careless Stang.

P-38. Get's to target ahead of the competition.

SpitV: Made for T&B.

P51B: Fast & scrappy as well.

F4U1C: Don't so as many of 'em now but still a beast.

Spit V - duh.

Spit V - because no one expects it!

Mossie - reasons mentioned above or La7 - because it blows up towns just fine, and then vulches like a merciless sonuvabeeyotch!

P51D for B&Z... anything else is just trying to be a P51D doing B&Z

P51D for Ground attack... anything else is just hiding from the inevetible.

P51D for T&B... everything else is just shocked.

K West · « **Reply #39 on:** December 13, 2001, 01:45:00 PM »

TnB:Yak-9 (either 9T or 9U)
BnZ:Yak-9 (either 9T or 9U)
Jabo:Yak-9T For nothing can say "I love you" to a ground target like the 37mm of a Yak can.

Adding an extra category:

PBD (point base defense): Yak-9U with 50% fuel.

Simply put? The Yak rocks!

Westy

I dunno Westy... them Hurri IId's have 3 more mm of love per cannon...

If there's a turn fight near a field, Spit IX, otherwise P51D.

For BnZ there is only one choice possible. The Mustang performs BnZ with style, and doesn't have any obstructions blocking your view of the dead guy.

For JABO, the P51D is obvously the most accurate, but I have a fond appreciation for the Typhoon as well. The Typhoon seems to be able to take more abuse, even though against vehicles it dies too fast. It is easily one of the fastest planes, and those Hispanos allow me to kill La7's up to 1k away (if I'm willing to degrade my gunnery). Sometimes, when I'm trying to minimize flight time, I JABO with the Tempest.

TnB: La5FN (vertical turn and burn, make sure you fight below 8K)

BnZ: Yak-9 (U or T depending if I think there will be buffs around)

JABO: Tiffie

Vulcan · « **Reply #43 on:** December 14, 2001, 02:38:00 AM »

TnB : Tiffie
BnZ : Tiffie
Jabo: Tiffie

Anything else is just a target

Hi

T&B - Seafire - People think it's a Spitfire IX, and then you surprise them by turning tighter than they expected! I'll also use a Tiffie if I have to!

B&Z - Tiffie

Jabo - Tiffie preferably with 2k eggs.
