The Plane, The Plane!!

[RoGenT]

Since we have new 'faces' as well as new planes, I thought I would post this. Even if you been in other games other than AH, please say what plane you fly the most and  explain your reason for liking it.


Only fair for me to start. Well the 51D of course. I've always liked the way that it looks and flies in reality and also in the game (despite the not-so-great turning). I've had the chance to fly IN a real one many, many years ago. Also for the game, being I am not the best shot, I like the fact it has lots of ammo too

Spit VIII
Maneuverability. I like the classic idea of flipping through the air and getting on their 6, not to mention a few taters to toss at someone.
BnZ just seems so, so, so, so, boring. *climb to 23890982343984K alt - Dive down - miss - climb BACK up to try again*

B17
Because the B29 is a gigantic target that can't take rounds worth a crud. The B17 is a beautiful plane. I'm a god on the guns.

The ki84 and p38. the p38 is my favorite plane of ww2. i absolutly HATE the ki84. i think its a complete crap of a plane. but for some reason i do my best in it.

bomber? was originally the b25/b17. but now its the b29. big sexy plane. most normal planes will not engage it. and the ones who do stupidy dead6 it and get a facefull of 20mm.plus it can take a beating as long as none of the rounds dont get anwheres near the cocpit.

ill tell you when i kill you

I used to fly the Ki84 almost exclusively.  Great plane!  (Tyrannis, you need to learn to respect the Ki!)

But this tour I have decided to learn the 109K4.  Most of my sorties are in it.  That said, I have flown some of the other 109 variants this tour and have been reminded of how much I love the 109F.  I would fly the 109F all the time, but in the MA there are too many other toads chasing my quarry and I seem to get mostly assists.,

I like the 109F model so much I have even tried flying in Midwar, only to find that most people don't want to fight there.  In fact, most Midwar players are fully involved in trying to "sneak" a base capture.  If you show up in the sector they are in, they quickly bug out and seek a new base to "sneak".  Sad, so sad.

Just about anything but a P-51, Spit or Corsair.  I like most of the planes in the game except those.

i hate its cocpit (not saying htc messed up its design, they did i good job. i mean i hate the cocpit design in general).
i hate how small the window is in front of the gunsight.
i hate how thick the support rods or w.e there called are in the front.
i hate how cramped and small the cocpit looks.
and its cannons&fuel tanks get shot out WAY too easily.

idk why tho, but even tho i hate all this about it. its my best plane.i usually score 3-5 kills a sortie in it.

[SunBat]

please say what plane you fly the most

K$ - pronounced Kay Muney - This aeroplane is called this cuz it is muney when things is hot and the $ sign happens to be on the 4 key.

and  explain your reason for liking it.

Um. Duh.

I call shenanigans on that claim.   

[Getback]

F4U1A, it's just so purty!

[ARSNishi]

A6M5 by far.  I aspire to achieve the level of mastery of the zero that my namesake Hiroyoshi Nishizawa had.  I have loved turnfighting since I became addicted to the genre 13 or 14 years ago.  To those who would admonish me to "take off the training wheels Nishi!"  I say any pilot worth his salt should know how to beat a zero....  regardless of who it's driver is.      ~S~  Nishi

[Imowface]

La-5 and the 7 once and awhile when I am feeling lazy, also been getting more time in the yaks recently, I just love the planes themselfs from an enginering point of view aswell as the fact that I have family who was involved with them (not La-7)

[Crash Orange]

i hate how cramped and small the cocpit looks.

The AH version is positively roomy compared to the real thing. (No, alas, I was lucky enough to get a very up-close view of the cockpit of a real Gustav - the only flying one in the world at the time, IIRC, it was at Duxford - but I wasn't able to actually sit in it. I honestly don't think I would have fit, anyway, at least not with any room to move an inch, and that was in my thin student days! Presumably anyone tall or wide-shouldered went into bombers.)

But I know what you mean. The lousy cockpit ergonomics are a deal breaker for me too.

I've always loved everything US Navy, and the F4U and F6F are my faves. Spits are up there. In-game I fly N1Ks more often, though, or jugs and ponies on the attack.

I say any pilot worth his salt should know how to beat a zero....  regardless of who it's driver is.

Yup, that's exactly why I don't fly them!

TU-4...er ah B29.  btw this may be helpful for AH uber buff hunters...oui mama, 12 X .50's with 1,000 rounds per gun!!
