Some planes are more capable than others but I think you get my point. For instance you in a KI-84 is easy mode, Grizz or Kappa in a 262 is easy mode, CorkyJr or Delirium in 38's is easy mode, Krupinski in a K-4 is easy mode. Bruv in any darn Spit is easy mode. Cobia in an A-20 is easy mode. Slapshot in an SBD is easy mode. All of these examples are pilots that have mastered their favorites to the point of easy mode. Nothing wrong with it, we all have our favorites. It is not just the plane, and not necessarily just the pilot. It's the pilots stick time in a particular plane that yields the easy mode. No plane in this game grants you magic flying ability.
That's it in a nut shell, I've watched Grizz and Corky, Krup, Kappa (died to his 262) lol my bad SA but that's another story,and many others to many to list and there all deadly in there chosen rides and a couple are deadly in whatever they fly, there just great sticks, fun to fly around or against, either way i have alot of fun in 38's, 47's A8's K4's, but none are easy mode for me yet i can hold my own and kill with them but no where near how others have mastered these planes, but now a C205, i seem to fly that plane really good
