What do you mean by hardest? Are we factoring in maneuverability and speed, or are we looking just at durability?

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.

the Yak is a small target and it can take alot of punishment. After that it would have to be the FW190-D9. One theory I think about is the speed of the target. Something very fast that is pulling away from you will receive slightly less lethal hits than something that is closing with you head on, increasing the impact speed. Small differences (if indeed the ballistics are modeled that well). I think it can swing the balance at times. Doras and Yaks are always pulling away from me.

    That's only because most inexperienced pilots fly them, but if you meet someone who knows what there doing each one of thous aircraft will give you a really hard time.
The spitfire is easy to kill because of its flimsy wings.

200 out behind me and I didn't see him til the first rounds already hit.  Tough to kill that guy as I'm falling in pieces :)

As someone's who's positive K/D relies solely on Dan being in the arena it happens quite a lot. :)

I actually ran the numbers over a 4-5 month span once and my K/D and K/S went up and down right along side the number of sorties that Dan flew that month. :)
