Last of a dying breed...

[Karnak]

I can't fly Japanese, Royal, or Russian...

I fly German and United States...

Why so, if I may ask?

[guncrasher]

 You may think Allied Aircraft were superior and that's why they won but when the AVG faced the zero in their P-40s it was superior tactics and Pilot training that won the Day. The better Cartoon Pilot will usually win no matter what they fly.  

japanese had better trained pilots earlier in the war.  most grew up flying airplanes from a young age.  and the p40 sucked as compared to the japanese, read the book by the best japanese pilot and see what they thought of the p40's and their training.

Question chipr, how does the Allies/Soviets winning the war through about 6:1 numbers advantage prove the superiority of their aircraft?

If anything, the Axis not only holding out, but making advances against those odds would argue the exact opposite.


I fly the 109, and I only realy and truly fear 3 planes, and 2 of them only under certian circumstances:

P-38 (when flown well, as odds are its either AKAK or a SAPP'er at the stick)
F4U (when well flown, since they can be a real female-dog to handle when well flown)

And finally, the only other plane I truely dread encountering in the MA's is.....  The Ta-152, since 90% of the ones you see are flown by aces.

[GNucks]

I ain't afraid of any plane except for the one that's above me  

American rides are my go-to set as well, but I feel like I have more fun or a more rewarding experience when I fly German or a C2.

[Reaper90]

Thats true. American Iron wasnt necessarily the best planes in the air. With that being said, the pilots were heads and shoulders above most axis pilots.

 

Uhhhh, OK........

Possibly that was true in the last year or so of the war, but that's only because the top Axis pilots had all been killed. For the first 3 years of the US's involvement in WWII, our pilots, with few exceptions, were in the fight of their lives against pilots with far more experience and greater skills than many/most of them.

I generally prefer British and Japanese planes, but there is nothing I can't or won't fly.

Did you read what you wrote before you posted it?

no sir i did not-krap i forgot the russian's--where did i screwup?and i don't hate anybody,in the game or in real life..im not saying germans had bad pilots or bad planes,i'm just saying they had a harder time fighting against england because they had to fly farther to the fight than the brits did when they were escorting bombers.i'm sure there were excellant pilots and crews...maybe i should  just shut up now.but meant no disrespect to anyone from any country.then or now.

Do understand that when the LW was 'winning' they had more planes and better trained pilots too.  What goes around and all that.

aaannnd again...where do you get these silly ideas? you're a penguin shade aren't you?

[MachFly]

Since I started playing about 4 months ago, I've only flown American planes with exception to the jet planes and only been with the Bish in the MA. If I fly an allied plane, i.e Spit 9, it has to have the USA insignia.  My squaddies say that I'm missing out on planes that may better suit my style. My rebuttal is, "who won the war again?". I know there are tons of benefits from flying the axis planes, u can find out the strengths and weaknesses firsthand.

Is there any others like me? I truly doubt it.

I try to stick to allied planes, but as long as it does not have a swastika on it I'm good.

Don't worry, we'll soon seduce you into the 109. Even AKAK had admited its fun to fly  .

It is personal preferences. I love flying the P-47D-25. That is what i fly the most and yet some people think I have ACM skills bombing the crap out of GVs. Sigh! Sigh!
