Well, all this time I can't figure out what the attraction to a bathtub with wings is.  I figured it out. 

1)  Betty is a girl.
2)  Girls like bubble baths.
3)  Typhoon is a bathtub with wings.

See where I am going?  :rofl

The rest of you that are boys, really, well, I guess don;t ask don;t tell ehh?  :O

RumbleB  said it for me :salute(Image removed from quote.)

 :noid Have to call BS on that one but to each his own. I never fly it above 8,000 and need no blinders nor spray and pray. Good plane in the right hands. Peddles a big plus.

I find with the Typhie is that it's acceleration is poor but it hold E very well.  Rolls bad but rudder is decent.  So, BnZ is pretty good and leading the shot is best IMO.  It is a great attack plane too.  Anybody with low-medium skill rate in this game can have some success in this.  After a while it does become a little boring because you can't have variation in ACM's such as the corsairs or spits or 109's.

Just my take on the typhie.

acceleration may feel slow, but its actually one of the best in game. otherwise about right i'd say :)

It is a brick with wings though...... Until you get to about 243 mph. 

Everyone under estimates the typhoon. All you hear is "its a ground attack plane" " its too heavy" "its a brick with wings"...HOWEVER not many people take the time to learn it.......
