whats funny about the B26 is you can't kill the rear gunner no matter what.

+1  That aircraft's damage model is seriously fubar.  I often time don't bother attacking B-26s unless my positioning is perfect.  I'd rather attack a formation of B-17s any day.

Didn't see anybody list the A6M yet.   :P

And the Spitfire listing is sheerly absurd based on one players bad experience with lag.

I've seen my 9T survive some pretty nasty beatings, which tend to come fairly often  :lol

I saw the mossie mentioned here too. While it can soak up a handful of run of the mill .303/.50/etc...(wood doesn't rip, maybe they just create holes? /shrug). Cannons don't take long to tear one past the point of going home.

My A6m seems to absord a lot of fire power! Its really a tough bird!
There was this one time Greebo got me with his....... no wait, I was in Hurri.

And this other time a few 30mm hit me....... I reupped

Oh oh oh! And another time I was able to survive........ Oh yea, I was in a 47.







OK POINT PROVEN!!!!!  :furious

I was talking about spits vs. 30mms.
I've noticed that---Spits disintegrate after a decent .50 burst, yet take taters and keep flyinh

My vote is for the Corsairs - especially the Chog of all things.

It seems the cannon in this bird are just bullet magnets, drawing damage away from all other critical components. I'll lose one, then two, and then finally someone will get the third gun and I'm just spitting out 20mm shells from one last cannon. The wings look like swiss cheese but they're still attached. Then you know it's time to leave.

Still, the nice thing about the other Hogs is that when someone buzzsaws off a wing, it's usually only the outer wing panel, meaning you can still make it home relatively easily. Heck, with the flaps down just one or two notches, even landing on the CV missing a wing isn't that hard.

The wingroots are pretty solid, that's for sure. I've rarely lost a whole wing in the Corsair, and so long as you've got enough air under you you can generally recover from a spin again. I know I've cheated a few guys of kills that way. they take half my wing, think they have me as I go spiralling down only to recover and limp away home.

However the engine is made of glass (can we PLEASE get that fixed?) and she loses the back of the fuselage somewhat easily.

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.
