The B5N2. Smallest combined value of kills & deaths in MA apart from Ar 234.
People usually seem to prefer the TBM.

(Hurri IID has almost as many kills as the Spit XIV...)

May be in your hanger.
But I up the bugger on almost a nightly basis.
Plinking tanks is very addictive.
So addictive I become impatient and fly into trees.
:D

Agree, B5N, it's used so few that I totally forget we have it in game! :D

Don't really see too many IIDs, though. A lot of those kills may be against GVs, as I think the D REALLY loses a lot due to the weight of those guns (she just doesn't maneuver like the insta-HOing IIC).

Actually, haven't really seen any jeeps lately since the newness wore off. F4F-4 pops up only occasionally in LW. Ran into a formation of Bostons last night, the first time in months I'd seen any up. Rarely see the C.202, most C2s in LW are the aught-5.

By least combined kills and deaths over the past 3 months (not because I raced out to try to prove you wrong Lusche but it's how I track my own stats so I had it handy), as a fighter it's the Bf 109E-4.  Here's the bottom of that list (under 10,000 combined kills and deaths).  It would be hard to call some ofthese hanger queens though.

Model   Kills   Deaths   K/(D+1)
Hurricane Mk IID   950   2296   0.4136
Chute   3203   0   3203
Boston III   287   2704   0.1061
Bf 110C-4b   982   1849   0.5308
Spitfire Mk XIV   1469   1335   1.0996
P-40B   496   2130   0.2328
Ju 87D-3   699   1880   0.3716
SBD-5   509   2114   0.2407
Me 163B   2289   379   6.0237
Gunner   1435   1075   1.3336
C-202   583   1174   0.4962
Bf 109E-4   658   1251   0.5256
B5N2   334   1194   0.2795
D3A1   268   1009   0.2653
Ar 234   223   532   0.4184

Out of these I regularily, although lightly, fly the Hurri IID, Ju 87D-3, Me 163B and Ar 234... oh... and the Chute.

Hehe, I just took a look at current tour stats, I only track my own stats over time, didn't bother to keep total arena stats yet...

I find it a bit surprising that the B5N seems to get even more use than the D3A, as the Val is a nice little turnfighter (outturn zeros and make everyone else auger ;) )

A certain squady of mine uses the B5N exclusively for anti GV.
Good climb and center slung bombs make for a great combo.

No forward firing guns on the B5N2.. makes it kinda tough to get kills.
