What do you think is the most under rated plane? I think it is the C.205, that is why I fly it so much.

It's like Deja-Vu all over again!

Ki-61/-1 hog

Ki-61 can match up with anything in the plane set. The 205 is a better "platform" but the Ki has much better vis, ballistics and low speed handling as well as outstanding range. The -1 hog is probably the best perk harvester in the game. Again great range, good gun platform and does those amazing hog thingies...also is a better turner then most give it credit for...

P-40E. While the B is pretty much a dog in the MA, the E has a considerably more powerful engine, and you get the excellent hitting power of 6 M2 .50 cal. Flight characteristics are gentle and pleasant. Almost everyone totally underestimates the abilities of this plane when flown by the right hands.

P38. Everyone think's it's pretty good but really it's incomprehensibly super good.

Yak-9T.

Most folks think it's a Ground Attack plane, but it's not. It does seem underpowered, and so it flies a lot like the Ki-61 IMHO. That is, when you have energy she's awesome, get slow and low and your ****ed.

What most people underestimate is the Cannon. If you use simply 3 round bursts you can easily enforce ammo discipline, and the excellent ballistics allow you to reach out farther than people expect (like the La-7 that is "extending" after trying to bounce you).

Anyhow, it only has 32 rounds, but then again, it only takes 1 for a kill.

Sikboy. Yak 9T are very fun for base defense against CV planes. Climb and wait for low F4U and F6F full load.

la7...

poepl think it's just gonna make a high speed Ho pass and run, but....

it's a quite capable tnb-er.

ironically, the la7 is also the most over-rated plane.

LMAO...that's right Shane. I dive on an La7 balls out, wep on, thinking don't blow any E cause yer gonna need it to stay with him and next thing I know I've overshot and that bombastic egomaniac Shane shoots me down. Most of the time when I die it's from assuming the guy I'm about to engage is a dweeb, which is true 95% of the time. Once again, like everywhere else in life, your expectations get you into trouble.

And Shane, just for the record, you suck
