Well, if one were to look at my typical tour stats, they would see that I have no favorites. I fly planes based upon the need at the time and/or whatever suits my mood.
I'll fly any of the 109s, any of the F4Us, any of the 190s, both Mustangs, Jugs, Lavochkins, Hellcat, Wildcat, P-38, Typhoon, even Spits and Nikis and Hurricanes. Over the course of two tours, I'll fly just about every fighter in the plane set, including the jets. I like variety because I get bored quickly.
There are certain aircraft that stand out as being more entertaining than the others. I enjoy the P-51B, F6F, 109G-2, La-5 and 190A-5. They are all great fun and fit in nicely between the super-fast and super-agile fighters that most people tend to gravitate to. If HTC modeled the P-51C with the -7 Packard Merlin (same as the P-51D), it would be the most capable non-perked fighter in the plane-set. As it is, I love to battle perk planes with the B model (F4U-4s and Tempests are no major challenge if co-alt and especially so if below me). AH2's revised P-51 flight model has made them even more capable IMO. Although some guys don't think so. I suspect that this is because they tended to rely on the AH1 ballistics model too much and found that it's a lot harder to get kills at 800 yards or by using snap shots in AH2. But, a good stick will eventually work it out.
My regards,
