mitchk - 51 still beats the 47 =) Only thing the 51 doesnt have is the 8 50 cals. Why would ya need 8 anyway? Learn how to aim and it shouldnt be a problem. But yes, the 47 is a nice plane.

P38 is the best fighter in the MA.

That about covers it.

I agree Pellik, P-38 is still the best target in the MA. For me, I get around the ENY with the good ole C.205

Bah! You are all wrong! It's a tie:

109F4 (great turner, great turner, great climb rate)

190A5 (good speed, great turner, great guns)

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.

this is true. the best is the one, that know what to do with what he (or she) has. thus the saying "it is not the plane, it is the pilot"

fly it, push it to its limits, learn it.

like Clint Eastwood said in a movie "a man has to know his limitations"

Gotta be the Dora. Has good firepower, good speed, good acceleration, killer roll rate.

Tho as has been said any plane can be best if you use its strengths and get others to give up theirs....

Best fighter is the one you feel most comfortable in.

Spit V fits that profile for me these days.
