let us not forget the wonder twins!!!!!

ME262

ME163

either of these rides under the arse of a good pilot is devastating upon any horde they engage. but obviously if the pilot isnt any good then it was just a very expensive and very short joy ride.

La7 is the 2nd best prop plane in the game. 

F4U4 is the 1st. 

Tempest is alright, but it isn't a great fighter.  Makes for a great cherrypicker, but so does the Tiffie and that isn't perked.

190s are garbage.

Spit 16 is great, Spit 14 is ok - probably on par with a K4.

109F is a surprisingly good plane.  If it had a Hizooka in the nose it would probably make the top 5.

I'd say about 75% plane, 25% pilot once you get to a level of basic competency.

In a dive it sheds parts like a cat sheds hair, hardly "uber".

Don't care for the modeling of the KI-84 in the game.

From what I've read, this plane was to be avoided at all costs, hardly the case in this game.

The KI-84 is a hollow shell of what it should be in AH.

KI-84 is pretty uber as well.

Still though no matter what, the U4 is the most Uber :)

There are no uber plane...only uber pilots  :cool:

Like I said...a plane can only be uber if someone handles it uber like  ;)  It doesn't matter how good a planes guns are, someone has to be able to shoot them.  It doesn't matter how well a plane turns, it takes someone to maneuver them.  See what I'm saying?  Each and every plane has its pros and cons--something it does better/worse against other planes.

Spit 14 is ok - probably on par with a K4.

If you look at plain performance numbers - yes.
But put handling into equation, and Spit 14 quickly falls from any Über list...
