Just HITTING the F4F/FM-2 can be a chore.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Many of you guys mentioned 190F8.  That is very interesting!  I never took that bird up enough to know this.  According to the stats: it cannot turn as well as the other 190s, it is relatively fast, dives well and has good guns.

Heck it might be the worst turning fighter in the game but then again it might be a great bomber killer.

Be interesting if any of you guys use this as your main or even predominant ride.  Like to know why you use it.

Thanks,

The poor 190F-8 doesn't get half the respect it deserves in this thread.

It better be tough... It's less maneuverable than Rosie O'Donnell's tour bus...

It's meant for killing ground vehicles.  Take the 500kg bomb and 12 rockets.  My best was 4 tanks (fireflies) in one sortie, using only the bomb and rockets, but I've heard of others killing 5+.

The Spitfire damage model seems to be more or less glitched.  There are portions of the aircraft that will take 30mm's like nothing happened (ie. The engine and the section of fuselage between the cockpit and the tail).  There are several threads and films about that same thing.  Other than those two areas, Spits seem to fall apart about as easily as A6M's.

F4U's are pretty tough
P-47's can be tough, but wingroots seem like weak points (which is usually the case with most aircraft)
All 190's can take a beating.
I'm sure there are others I just can't think of right now.

Id have to say F8 and jug are the toughest fighters. The worst beeing zekes, and typhs.

Overall i see the lancs and b24s the easyest to pluck down period. They are big and made of glass. The B24 burns like the zeke too.

The B26s and B17s seems to be able to soak up a good ammount of ammo.
