Ummm, because you're a pilot doe.....nvm that.


I believe the proof is in the pudding and not in what some long winded historian has to say about it. Besides that the stats show that the F6F had the best K/D ratio of any aircraft in the war if I remember correctly. Why wouldn't that plane be considered the best in the war?
Most American historians would tell you the P51D was the best fighter. But I truely believe that would not be so true had the mustang pilots ran into the top German aces in the early part of the war.

But this thread is about the top 10 "AH2" planes. Not the same as real life.
You give the P51s and 38s their high octane fuel and the replys on here would be quite different i think. Present in game flight models does not relate the real life in different times in history. But what do I know, I just live in a van down by the river.

Bullet I have to disagree with the F4U, not down playing the F4U, but many said the Ki-100 matched it, and IMHO, if the circumstances weren't in favor of the allies, the Ki-100 would have been better then all F4U's, accept maybe the 4, if JP wasn't limited to using inferior materials, and low octane fuel, I think that in fair conditions, the 100 would beat the 4U


READ the title of this thread. The KI-100 is not in the game.  :rolleyes:

Pacific
1942 - 1943 ( late ) A6m Zero except 1942-1943 was shared closely by the Mk8 Spit. Then 1943-1945 F4U Corsair :)


The impact of the Spitfire in the PTO was far less than its impact in the ETO and that time frame 1942-1943, at least for the Allies, it was planes like the Wildcat, P-40 and P-38.  Overall in the PTO, it would have to be the Hellcat with the P-38 behind it.

No. It was a big E. EXPERIENCED in combat. Bombers did more to destroy the Luftwaffe than allied fighter pilots.

I have not been lucky or Honored enough to talk to a lot of ww2 pilots, the one thing that I can say is pretty much every thing I have read or heard  was the P-38/ mossie/ P-51 was the "best" ww2 plane,  then the spit.

my favorite in the R/W  has always been the P-40

I would rate it P-40 in game like

handling          5-10
speed              6-10
armament        5-10
survivability      5-10
fear factor        3-10
sexyness          10-10

my favorite in Game is the hurri2C


handling         9-10
speed             4-10
armament       9-10
survivability     6-10
fear factor      10-10
sexyness         0-10
uglyness         10-10

And this is exactly the point why you can't rate it 8/10 in handling. If you have a plane that requires lots of experience to utilize it's strengths and keep it from sliding down tail first, you can't give it a good handling rating. ;)

I would you say you need "a lot of experience", but you need to do some reading about it on how it performs to be able to fly it successful.

On the contrary it might be just my point of view.

Indeed, although I do fly it often enough to know that Fear factor should probably be negative ans survivability is probably closer to zero. I like flying it, though, gives me a challenge.
