The least dweeby fighters are the P-40s, P-39s, SBD, C2's, Ki-61s, and the F4Us, minus the D as it is an ord mule and the -4, as it is frakking fast. I leave out the -1C as it may be cannon armed, but feels just as heavy as that D, but with a better ammo load and is more difficult to fly well than the -4.
I love my 40E and 51B when I am not in my -1. And the SBD is great for fighting tanks and then IL-2s when you drop your 500lb bomb.
