We give him grief about it, too
Nostalgia-wise, the 109E-4/E-7 (pointed spinner = sexy!) is the best. Also had the best camouflage schemes and variety!
What I flyin AH: All of them. Not so much the G-6 anymore. K-4 for chasing, G-14 for gun options, F-4 and G-2 for turnfighting (now that we have a lot of skins for both it's even better!)
I've flown the Emil in the MAs enough, but don't do it too often anymore. It just gets gangbanged by 7+ every time I go out. I had some good 1v1 and 1v2, and maybe I can even handle a 1v3, but when you're low dodging enemies, you can't run, can't turn, can't go vertical, can't dive (too low), 7 enemy are going to tear you a new one.
