Favorite WW2 plane?

Damn I just dunno, depends on my mood.

P51B has to be one of my all time favs, dunno why I like it more than the D I guess I just perfer the razorback versions same with the P47's.  

In the PTO I just gotta agree with my squaddie, the F6 Hellcat just kicks too much boo-tay.  :D


On the Axis side I allways liked the early 109 models (E, F).

The Jug.  Hands down.  A big, mean, destruction machine.  Much like myself.  :D

Johnson's book and other stories make it special to me.  Especially the times when I have game situations that match the accounts I've read.  That combined with one of the more challenging birds to fly properly in any WWII sim make it my choice.

Second is the F6F Hellcat.  Oh that all my opponents would be Zekes.  :)

I always had a very soft spot for IL-4... nothing much but i love that plane  :)

Another would be I-16 and Yak-3.... I-16 is the most advanced plane at its time... both fast and having exelent turning abilities it also carried a very heavy punch. I imagine that in this kind of planes like I-16 you recieve the true feeling of flight and unitment of a man with machine.

And Yak-3 - simply because this plane you cant resist loving  :)

1st P47 any model, big, fast, and dangerous. I cant wait till AH gets trains and I can do train busting missions.  
2nd choices, P38 and A26.  I'd fly the P38 more but it seems like I get shot down to easy in that plane, 1 ping and I'm down.  
Please HTC give us the A-26 Invader.

I would have to say my favorite plane of all time is the ME-410.  A close second is the HE-219.  Just something about them that makes me look and say wow!.  Who would HO one of these planes?  Why would anyone want to love something other then these beautiful planes?  I know I don't.

The Bf109G-6 or G-2. I've always loved the dangerous look of this plane and it suits my style of flying perfectly.

P-51D all the way.

The 190-D series is quite nice too.
