Since I joined III/JG26, I've become reacquainted with the 190-A8. 

I will still fly the L, 262, Ki-61 and 47M.  But I joined a Luftwaffe Squadron and will try to somewhat maintain a similar choice of ride most of the time.

Meh, depends on the mood I'm in as to what bird you find me flopping around the sky in.

That said, recently taken a like to the 190a5 and messing around with other birds away from the spit v

Wurzel
I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Fighter: mainly F4U1a,
Perk planes: F4U1C, and tonight F4U4
JABO: F4U1D,F6, or P47D40. F6 just seems to be a great jabo plane. Climbs fast off the cv with 3/4 fuel. Easy to handle and take off from a cv as well. Only real weakness is my pilot skills. I just can't handle spit16s in it.
Bomber: Strating: B17, Hard targets: B24j

Did fly the p47m the other night with my FSO squad. Nice plane

Thinking in terms of porno the following list has been compiled:

The Peter North:  Any P-47 or the B-25H. Shoots everything any everyone except the target but usually aims for the head.
The rediculous cupsize:  B-26 or A-20. Tell me i'm wrong

I kind of fly whatever strikes me at the moment.  It really runs the whole plane set.  Variety is the spice of life... :aok
