Ok, I know you think I'm quite mad, but this plane literally chews up GVs with Guns alone and spits 'em out in a way no other plane can. It shrugs off .50 cal fire like no other single engined AC in the game, and can tear apart any other plane in the Head On (I've even surprised 110 G-2s in this respect as the 23mm is a balistic dream compared to the flaming grapefruit thrower). Add to that the fact that it outturns most of the fighters.

Yep IL2....

This IS yucca

, although i prefer my jug, the bonus of 50 mph in the pony sure makes it alot easier to pick the fight

P-47 D25 or D40... the D11 is nice, but gotto have the bubble canopy. Best Jabo load of the game, 8-50 Cal machine guns.. over 3000 rounds of ammo, awesome range, dives like a pony, and you can drop flaps well over 200 mph. Its pretty big, but you learn how to fly it and it is tough to beat. With ENYs of 35 and 30... very underrated.

Also been flying the 38... those nose mounted guns are the cat's meow.

P-51D or P-51B. It's one plane you really gotta know what you are doing to get some kills and survive.

the more i think about the intent of thsi thread (the whole ENY thing)....

the C.205

almost never gets denied, fast as heck in a diving chase, turns great, climbs like a homesick angel, good cannons, all around great plane

anything you are slower than you can out turn and still climb with.

What's the best fighter these days?

Someone who will actively engaged without needing a 5K alt advantage and 100+mph speed advantage and 3 wingmen ... doesn't matter what plane he is in.

OH !!! ... SORRY !!! You want to know what kind of plane, not what kind of pilot ? ... nevermind ... silly me.

the P-47D-40 is by far the best.
goods
1. fast as p51.
2. 8 .50s "airial chainsaws".
3. great zoom climb.
4. bubble canopy.
5. with 6 guns option it climbs like 109.
6. great range 3 DTs.
7. lots of ord 2-1000lb 1-500lb 10-rockets.
8. turns very well with flaps
9. high alt performance is match only by the 152.
10. It looks cool.
bads
1. takes lots of practice to learn.
2. climbs like b-17 when heavy.
3. lose your E, say your prayers.
