P-38 for me.

has everything...manuvers nicely, has good enough speed for me, climbs great, will get you home if you can dodge the 20K runstangs, excellent gun package, and looks realllll mean. It fills all the roles you mentioned.

Fav Fighter= F-6F (Well balanced with no real strong downpoints)
Fav Attacker= A-20 (Good ordinance and survivability. Perfect raid plane)
Fav Bomber= B-24 (Lotta bombs and a lotta guns to make sure the bombs get to where their going)


Future Fav Bomber= B-29 (c'mon, you know you'd fly it if you had it)

Challenge, I am asking people to give me what they think is the best plane in each category and I gave them some guides to rank their planes by (speed, maneuverability, survivability,firepower) so as they will make an educated decision, yes the pilot needs to find his plane but if they put the B5N2 or the D3A for fighter, not sure which one has no forward guns, then they obviously did not make the right choice, as neither has two in any concentration or even a respectable grouping. I suggest that you try to see a post from more then just your perspective or interpretation. Many people answered correctly but some did not, I was asking for THREE planes, not just lancstuka or P38. I agree castle51, except the B24 suffers from a slightly lack of tail turret ammo when I fly it, and A20G is my fav in and out plane (raid) plane as if you fly it right and are smart, it will see you through to the end. And yes, I would love the B29. You, me, the 29, and a crap ton of bombs on their base!!!! :salute

Fighter: La-7 --- just a good all around plane

Attack: Heavy Typhoon--- can carry 2 1k bombs and still has the mighty hispanos for lighter gvs.

Bomber: B-26 --- not a bad payload and doesn't catch on fire if you look at it wrong.

1Boner I think we have a lot in common, the only thing I would change about your list is to replace the Typhoon with the P47D, as it can carry more ords. than any other plane in the game other than some divebomber, and the heavy bombers, I think, so it is better from a purly attacker stand point. The B26 is my favorite bomber as it has the best ratio for bomb load to survivability. Tell me what you think about the gun coverage.:salute

Fighter= they're all good if used right
Attacker= nothing can match the Jug for ord and firepower 2500#s of bombs 10 rkts and 3400 rds of 50 cal.  Durability best in game and real experience.
Bomber= B17   why?  Wings prime target on B24    easier to shoot down.

I'm not very good with rockets, sooooo

The 2000 lbs of ord on the typhie is bout all I can handle.

But the BIG difference between the 47 and the Typhie after the ord is gone are the mighty Hispanos!

I use Attack mode mainly for ground targets and the 20mm is great for lighter gvs, flacks etc. in one pass or 2.

But then again, I don't fly the 47s much, maybe I'm missing out on something.

I'll give it a try.  :salute

Fighter - too broad definition, best all-rounder is F4U-4. High altitude P47-N. Bomber interceptor Me262.
(night) Fighter - Mosquito NF.XXX/XIII
Attacker - Mosquito VI
Bomber - Mosquito B.IX/XVI
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.
