I always love my Spitfires. I've found the F4U1-D with 75% fuel is actually very VERY fun and great to fly. I also love the fly the P-51, P-40, P-39, P-38, Hurri mk I, Yak, and 109 and 190s.

Your new squeeze.

Boston III for TnB. Those .303s are "deadly."
P-39 for "TnB" that is really BnZ in disguise.
Everything except the spits.


TnB is great fun in light bombers.  The B-26 gets my vote there.
I like the P-40 for fun.  Nobody is afraid to fight a P-40, no matter how many green guys are already swarming it.  ;)
And try the SpitI.  That is the only one that is a challenge IMO.  Freakin carburetor will drive you nuts when you try to corner someone.

P-38J for everything but tank busting, for that I take up a B-25H.

I don't really pick planes based on the categories that the OP picked. Most of the time I up planes based on what mood I'm in.

109g2: just and all around fun plane to fly
p40b: for the challenge of flying such a plane
i16: great views and nothing better than flying around in open cockpit

Blue ones, and an occasional gray one.
I am equally bad in all planes so I guess it really doesn't matter what I fly.
