Yak-9U -- and you should fly it in the upcoming Red Storm scenario. :)

I really miss scenarios and would have signed up, unfortunately I work 2-10 Eastern and wed-thurs are my days off :(

Anyways tally so far!

P38 - 5
yak - 2
g14 - 1

First, whats your in game name?

As for the planes, the 3 you have votes on are all fun planes. The G14 will be a light version of the jug, while the 38 will be pretty much the same, with the added effect of being good low and slow. The Yak has a very short clip.

Questions to ask yourself,

  • How is your aim? Lousy aim means the yak may be very frustrating to fly.
  • Do you have the flaps setup on your stick and do you use them? If not, the 38 could be frustrating.

Me, as a card carrying member of SAPP I have to say the 38 is the best one to go for next... or the 12 will come after me  :D

The important thing is to pick the one you can have fun in, and then go from there.   :aok

For the planes on the list i suggest the 38J.

Its just a great plane to fly.

And for planes off the list I suggest the Yak-9t.

It only takes 1 shot to blow almost any plane out of the sky.

Its the snipers plane.

And the best perk farmer in my opinion too.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than downing a late war plane with the F4.

Ki84, its actually a pretty good plane. I haven't gotten any kills in it, but I've gotten some assists in it. It'll ruin your day if you get sloppy.

If you try the ki84 and don't like it, go with P-38L, can't hardly go wrong with the 38  :aok.

Hey all :)

So, I've been wanting to learn a new ride now for a long time. After flying the jug as my main ride for years, it's time for a change. The problem is I feel awkward flying anything else, end up just flying my jugs for the most part, get bored and go inactive for months. It's not the gameplay at all, it's just the comfort level I have in a jug. Well, I really don't want this pattern to continue, so I'm going to try to get some peer pressure from you folks to help me stick with a new plane for the next 2 tours. So, with that being said, and for those who care, help me out! My list to pick from is this, I'm trying to stay away from the US planeset for a bit:

109-K4 or G14
spit9
spit16
p38 series
yak-9u
KI84
Niki

Hopfully I'll get a decent response that stays on topic, if you want to help me out just toss in your vote and why etc. Will let the thread run a day or so unless it gets bumped back a few pages. Help me break the cycle! Constructive input is alway appreciated!

Sorry, my care-o-meter didn't budge.

Seems like anyone who can get good in a 38 can get REALLY good in a 38.

Ignore the P-38 mafia.

The correct choice is the Ki-84 or Bf109K-4.
