Whats your favorite ride and why?
« Reply #30 on: September 21, 2007, 11:28:06 AM »
I like the 110G cause it is the ultimate HO machine.  Or the LA-7 cause it is the ultimate run machine.

Nah, just kiddin


I am partial to the Japanese planes for fighting, and the Jug (or Hog on a CV) for attacks.  I'll never pass up an opprtunity to hop in a bomber and go flatten stuff, if only the KI carried more ordinance it would be a dream.

My history was from Japanese squads - 27th Sentai back in Warbirds.  Came to AH and flew in the 27th and 13th Sentai for a while.   I liked the Tony quite a bit and always felt it was one of the more underrated planes in the game.

There just anything like the Lightning, though.

For Just all dog fighting the Spit. Any model. I prefer the 16 for the punch, but I'll take an 8 anyday for the ride. This is about my all around ride. The 51 for escort. The 110 for NOE mission. Im starting to switch to the B25 for NOE though. Its a very fun plane. A little weak against a fighter, but oh so fun to fly. And the last for bomb runs B26 for small fields. B24 for Med-Large. The B24 to me is just an all around base capture machine. And I love it.

Cheers
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

I like all the corsairs but my favorite is the -1, because most people think it's an easy kill, and with me behind the controls it is.

The other plane that I'm partial too is the P38 though I'm an even easier kill in it than the hog.

The F6, and FM2 are fun too, and they are blue, and as everyone knows blue planes are just cool.

The yak9u is the ride I tend to fall back to.  When I started I moved around in planes, but used most of the stable.  After a while I decided to choose a plane to get to know.  I liked the visibility of the 9u and at the time it had a great perk earning settings in regards to env and cost.  I also liked the short clip which made me get out of the spraying habit.  I also love its small size, hard to hit and its fairly nimble.

What has kept me there is the incredible fights I get into with it.  I probably fly it all wrong technically, but it gets me to the fight and sometimes it gets me back :)

The pony (both models) and the skeeter.  

One of my life goals is to own a P-51 so I need to get used to flying them.  

One of my other life goals is to vulch freezeman with my pony as he pulls out of his driveway to go to work in the morning.  :D

Hands down Mossie.

Why ?  Two words : "Plywood B*tchslap" :aok

Also love the 190-D, P-51, P-47D, F6F, IL-2 and Hurricane Mk1.  Also like spits despite the dweeb connotation.

Most hated plane ?  LA-7 (sick of seeing them everywhere)

Plane I wish I could fly competently but still can't ? P-38

I keep coming back to the spitz.  The XVI has been the ride of choice for the last few tours with the XIV once in a while.  However, I've been upping the old La5 again I find myself being quite sucessfull as of late in it.
