F4U-4
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.

Interesting..... I have not found Ki-84s to be much of an issue.

Same, as long as you keep the Ki-84 from popping its flaps out, no problem.  YMMV.

Keep them above the speed at which they can deploy flaps.

P47D-11 or 25
It's a great plane to learn in since it will take a lot of punishment so you can afford to make a few mistakes.

By keeping the fight from going slow enough that the Ki-84 can get its flaps out.  Keep the fight fast against a Ki-84 and you'll have the edge since you'll be able to deploy your flaps at a higher speed than the Ki-84 can.

I go with AKAKs comment, best plane is one you can have most fun in.. Which doesn't mean the plane you can get most kills in.

If I was to pick one non-perked aircraft as the best.. And by best assuming best overall I'd take the Pony D. Simply for it's fuel range, and two most often overlooked advantages compared to almost anything else. Over the nose gun view and all around visibility.

For pure fighter and easy mode. The Spit16 as it's basically a Tempest with better E retention and two less Hispanos.

Best Perk ride and best plane in the game F4U-4 fantastic performance,gun platform and with it's uber flaps can almost float about like a zeke when it needs to which just makes it ridiculously easy to get kills in.

Always a good thread topic, but I think it's been covered numerous times in the Aircraft forum.

G14/K4 are my favorites...followed by Ki84.   The 30mm only allows the enemy one mistake...it is beautiful.

god! everyone has their favorite.

   Depends on how you fly.....I have heard that there are some that don't declare the corsair as the best....really! Believe it or not, there are a few misguided souls  that wont bow to the clearly superior corsair! ( they're the ones you see with the training wheels on their planes)
I don't know what effect these men will have upon the enemy, but, by God, they terrify me.
