Zeke. no wep, no running, no chasing anything down, but it's an easy ride to learn in cause it turns so well. A zeke pilot who has even the slightest clue will sweep spits, hurcs, and FM's from the sky. And that's really important cause these are the only planes that will stop and turn with you. Anything else that stops and turns is pretty much dead meat. It lands easy and will fly for ever on a full load of fuel. It will also dance when low on fuel. It doesn't dive well and pretty much stops turning at 400 mph. But that's ok too as most TnB takes place below 250. It's not terribly durable either but you learn not to HEAD ON. It has really good outward views to aid situational awareness.
Just take some time and fly a few different ones. I think half the fun is jumping in something new and seeing what it will do. A P40 is a hoot as long as you don't expect to rack up kills. As for me, just grabbing one plane and sticking with it is BORING. I jump around a lot cause it's fun from time to time to change up the fighting style. It doesn't matter what you do initially because until you have some hours in the log your going to die. A LOT. Thats just my opinion, I never bothered to learn spits.
