Bf 109F-4

Great plane for perk farming IMO.

Many people in the MA seem to underestimate its ability to do well, but as far as 109s go it is my favorite. It feels nimble and turns very well, the gun's are good enough to down any aircraft you come across, however it does not carry a lot of 20mm ammo so getting in close and making those count is important.

My two choices

109G-2
Powerful (one of the best sustained climbers in game), maneuverable, nose mounted armament, flexible (gunpods/drop tank/bomb). Very survivable and competitve for a ENY 30 bird in the MA. Capable over a broad range of altidudes.

La-5
Basically a La-7 with just some less top speed. I was actually very surprised that the ENY was recently raised to 30...
Very capable base defender & furballer.

P39 and P40s

P39s for base defense very fun not that slow good guns turns with spitys pretty good

P40s for attacking or a fighter sweep decent speed great guns the C model is the lightest weight which makes it the most formidable P40 as it has 2 50s and 4 30s climb rate does not drop off until 14k stalls nicely just a bit weak on the power side

109G6, G2, and F4 - All excellent dogfighters with nose mounted guns.
109E4 - Also a superb fighter, just not as able to keep up with some of the later war planes like the other 109s can. This can be fixed with lead turns though.  :D
Mossi 6 - Pretty fast, great diving ability, and THE GUNS ON THAT THING!
P-38G - Very underestimated fighter, light and nimble, nose mounted guns as well.
P-47D11 - Again, very underestimated fighter, great turn fighter, BnZer, and 8 50cals!



The ones I can remember off the top of my head.

As an option... You can select two guns if you prefer. Saves a little weight.

38G hands down.

Climbs decent, isn't slow, turns well, and has guns that can end the fight quickly.

I like the Spitfire or Hurricane Mk.1, I find it hard to catch people, but once you do, the 8 303s are more than good enough to get a kill with

- pretty much the 109s up to G6 (I reacall G6 having higher eny since this is the least used 109 in game)
- new Yak-9M but with the "-9T" designation :headscratch:
- La-5FN  (this is basically an La-7 but with unrefined aerodynamics)
- P-38G and P-47D-11 (for long trips)
- P-39Q (its got modest power but it can get fast down low)

I16.........I has a sweet roll rate and turns pretty well until you run out of energy.

Get the kill quick and you don't have to worry.

KI-67 no doubt. I call it the fighter plane where the pilot shoots backwards.
