oh yeah, i will have to disagree with showing love for the 109f4...not that it isnt a good airplane, but that it can only fly in fighter mode

for the many of us that are score conscience, sometimes you want to fly in attack mode if things above the airbase are looking a bit sticky

the 109f4 doesnt have this option

you usually have to dip into the fighter planes of 20 ENY or lower to have good enough power to move around quickly and get kills, which is what fighter mode is mostly about...kills per time

the 109 f4 quite frankly in my opinion just doesnt have the big enough engine for those who want a nice fighter score

no doubt it is a fun plane :D

wow i didnt know that there were that many people that enjoyed the p-40 that much  :rock i enjoy flying it because it does take a lotta skill to fly one and be successful (<--- probably why i dont land many kills with it lmao)

I love to fly P40 if for no other reason than anything else feels like a hotrod after being in one for any amount of time.

Clearly you have not flown a Zero or Hurricane Mk1 for any length of time then....

I vote P-38G or P-40B, your guaranteed a fight with almost every enemy that finds you....

Maybe so, but unlike a zeke or a hurc I or a spit I for that matter, you actually have to fly a P40.

You can't put the Spit I in there side by side with the Hurri I and Zeke I.

And in my opinion, getting kills and landing them in LW is more difficult in a Spit I than a P-40

Compared to some of the other planes listed here the 109F does compare quite favorably.  It's fast on the deck with WEP than my beloved 38G, and gets an additional one thousand feet per minute in initial climb.  I think the 38 has the edge in firepower which is certainly a factor in killing quickly, but the 109F has an extra fifty rounds of 20mm in the nose which can be potent.
