D11, you can get alot of perks for shooting down lancs and such, its a 30 ENY plane :)

i've never really cared about perks. i think the only thing i've ever used perks for, was to take out a tiger.....and i died rather quickly in it.

 to me, killing a well gunned bomber is actually more of a challenge than killing another fighter......that's where my fun comes in.  :aok

 :rofl :rofl

i was in a kind of weird mood a few weeks ago. was taking lancs out for a run. i get a call that there's b-17's inbound to one of our v-bases.......so i figure.....a buff vs buff fight should be fun. i caught up to him, got within 4.5k, and he bailed. that sucked. i wanted to see how fun it would've been.....oh well...... :noid

I like the 110 for lower bombers, for higher altitudes I love the D-40.

110G2 cause its got whats probably the best gun package in the game, buckets of ammunition, and oil leakes don't blind you.

190A8, got a good gunpackage, oil leaks aren't crippiling, and it can take a pretty good hit.

N1K2, or C-hog because they both have 4 20mm's and buckets of ammo.

P-47 because 8 .50's just shread bombers.

109G14 with gondos, mg 151 in the hub and clearing the ammo in the cowl guns

You drank the Kool-aid, didn't you.    :rofl

My favorite is the 190A-8 w/ the quad 20mm and convergence set to 450 yards.  Yes, the 110G-2 is nice but it is too easy to kill the buffs and it isnt all that fast nor does it climb well, especially w/ the 4 air to air rockets.   ;)  For HIIIIIGH alt buffs, say 28k or higher, nothing beats the P47N or M.  I seem to think the N is a wee bit better up that high due to the bigger wing, but I'm not P47 expert.

Low to medium altitude bombers are Mossie food, high altitude bombers I'd use a Ta152 or P-47M/N for.

Bf110G-2 has the best gun package in the game.....for shooting buildings.  Mosquito VI has the gun package in the game against aircraft, and much better performance.

190A-8 followed by the 110G-2 both with big gun packages and no rockets although the Tempest is a nice third choice.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

thats the reason why me and my squaddie CAPped a CV one night and ended up killing 4 buffs each in...110G2s... :headscratch: 4 hispanos are nice but 4 20mms and 2 30mms are pretty juicy. add those mgs in and its a wonderbird. 2 on one pass through in a formation and follow up kills the third. or if winging, have one get two and the other get one, then the next formation you repeat but switch flyers for the two and the one. simple, efficient, and deadly.
