I also think the majority ignores the C205.  It's a fine little plane if you like climb rate, speed, and decent guns.  I think a lot of people get turned off by its low speed handling.  Quite a few guys seem to know about it though, as evidenced by this thread.  The Yak is a handful if it's flown right as well.

All depends how someone defines  "majority", or "overlooked". The 205 is still in the upper half of "most used" plane list. It's just not the mainstay of most players, but then, almost no plane but about a dozen is...

you and youre stupid fighter mode B25s :furious kidding man kidding :aok Basically the A20 is the very easymode B25 when dogfighting. I've killed many planes using A20s because of its turn radius and speed...and that many nose guns can become very...addicting :D

  its not easymode flying on the edge of lossing parts or keeping them

The Ta-152 such a great plane that you don't see many fly. I think because its so temperamental to fly and takes time to get used to.

Though amazingly the supposed "monster" XIV is even rarer than the V.. despite being one of the cheapest perk rides ;)

Love the 190F-8 for jabo runs. but the one I really enjoy flying the most is the Bf 109E-4.  Its slow and you have to get in close for the guns but it is so much fun to fly.

i've never hit the edge in an A20 to break up. you dont dive fast in them cobia, you stall fight and pull wide turn fights in them. the two heavy engines it has can pull you into a good stall and nose right back over on the enemy. I just killed 9 today in 3 flights. 4 one and landed, 2 the next and died, 3 after that and landed
im 13 kills to 3 deaths so far this tour in it against fighters in the A20. you can look at my stats if you dont believe me :aok

Each ammo bunker should take 2500 lbs each. This will stop the 1 person Pork machines. Porking is way too easy

Sounds like kam is getting tired of me and my squad taking out his ords so he can't bomb our gv's.
