all of them.  there's simply something awesome about prop fighters.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

The Bf 109, in all variants.  But if I had to choose one, it would be the E-7, F-2, G-6/AS, or G-10, simply because we don't have these necessary 109s in the game, yet. ;)

I like the Bf 109 because it was the greatest fighter of World War II, of course. :aok

three favorites in game F4U-1 (like all F4u's but 1 my favorite), BF109G2, and A-20.  In real life I think the 190 Dora is one of the most sexy planes out there.

Fw-190A series....just looks like a fighter. And despite its reputation ingame, its R/L performance scared the pants off the Allies when it first debuted. Dora is nice too. Big bad Wulf is THE "bad guy" plane for me.

P-47-This is "America's plane" as far as I'm concerned.

P-51-You know why I say it? Just to make all of you groan!

Y'all are going to be real surprised when you get to Armageddon and see God's P-51D shooting down Satan's Dora!

P51d. In rl and in the game. Listening to how yeager flew it and seeing it fly is awsome to me. I started the game in a spitfire for the beauty of that plane as well. Still can't help but click the pony button on the clipboard even before joining the 412th.

B25H  Flies and shoots like an A10.
Me410  Exotic.. Great looks and guns, great cockpit. Very slick design.
Ta152H  Closest thing to what I'd have designed myself. Flies like I mean to.  A couple of flaws but otherwise perfect for me.  D11/13s and 152Cs are very close seconds. Like thoroughbred horses.. real lean designs.
F7F One of those designs that's not quite perfect but very much at the pinnacle of prop warbird design.. Functional and beautiful.

Too many of them ... 109, 190, Tempest, 51, Hurricane, Ki 84...

But there's only one plane in AH2 which I sometimes fly only to admire the beauty of her long wings when looking out of the cockpit.. flying over the landscape, looking to the side, gently rolling a bit left & right:

I have to agree with Lusche there.





Otherwise it has to be the post E-series Bf 109....

Particularly the ones without the cowl bulges... F, G2, G10 and K.

It's just a staggeringly mean looking aircraft. As a warbird it looks and sounds the part like no other aircraft ever built.

TFTFY  :D

The 152H would have been really nearly perfect if it had gotten larger tail surfaces. Aestheticaly and functionaly.
