One Aircraft
« on: July 30, 2010, 12:13:00 AM »
Hypothetical situation: if you could have one aircraft for free, what would it be?

Requirements:
-Must have been in production between 1939 and 1945.
-Must have been in mass production, prototypes not allowed.
-You are allowed to have only one aircraft, and not allowed to buy a 2nd.
-You are not allowed to modify it.

Notes:
-Fuel is free so do not make your decision bases on fuel consumptions.
-When making your decision do not only pay attention to things you use in AH2, also note the cockpit size, note that controls are different (more things you need to control in a radial engine), and the visibility out of the canopy (bubble or cage).
-You will not be shooting anyone, so the guns really do not matter.

really killnu ?  I mean it is limp wristed enough to dogfight with in game. 

Surely you would rather prefer to grace the endless blue in something more elegant.  Such as a Beautiful Spitfire or Ki - 84?

mossy, that way I could put all the girlfriend's luggage in the bombay, might have to accidently hit the wrong button though at about 15k but that would be ok also as I wouldn't have to take 2 hours loading and unloading it. :airplane:
