The ki-43 in late war is a blast. In a turn fight, you can get close enough to perform amputations.

      - What plane would you suggest I try next? **
     
      - Why do you make this suggestion? *** 

      - What factors will I need to take into consideration to be successful with this plane? ****

      - The C202

      - Because I think it would be great fun to see you empty your entire clip into one plane and not get the kill

      - You'll be forced to consume large amounts of alcohol in order to have fun flying it.  Make sure you have a sufficient support structure in place to overcome your pending addiction after being drunk for an entire tour.

No... really, fly the 205    :)

It's challenging but not gawd awfully frustrating.  A well flown 205 is both rare and delightful to fly against.

It reminds me of a knockoff Swiss Army knife.  All the tools are there but they're kinda dull.  It's always struck me as a capable plane that requires above average decision making to be successful with.

Me410, because it is very, very different from the A6M.

I flew the 410 a lot last year.   Got some surprising kills in it....well....surprising for the other guy.   ;)

Different is good, BTW.   I was tempted to fly the Ki43 for a while as I've only taken it up once or twice, and then only in the DA.   I'd likely get bored quickly as I feel it's a Zeke with a better turn rate, less firepower and slightly lower tendency to do a Hindenburg imitation under fire.

I flew the C202 for the most part of 162, I had a blast and since not that many people fly it, its always fun to say you were the most successful person in that plane for the tour, as of now, I have been spending some time in the Ki-61 and what great fun it is to fly, its a fun challenge in LW, but TBH its just inferior in the DA unless you are against something really bad, because like the P-38 is sort of good at everything but not amazing at anything, the Ki- isn't really good at anything, but it isn't horribly bad at anything either  :lol

I focused on the P38J and C.205 one tour, surprisingly made #1 in fighters flying the 205. Its a great little bird, I even took the 202 up for a few spins and even managed 7 kills in one sortie!

I like the Pre war era, you die a ton, but the experience and SA gained throws you off balance when you hop into something like the P51 the next tour, its almost like going from a WW1 aircraft to Korea.

Then Mosquito Mk VI because it is also very different and it is fun.

I used to fly the 205 quite a bit....its really fun.  I agree with your "dull knife" assessment.  That being said, I'd rather jab red hot nails into my eyesockets than fly the 202.  I like a challenge....but not to the point of frustration bordering on a nervous breakdown.  :lol  :joystick:




Id suggest the 47D40, yak9U, spit 14, 109g6/14, and if your feeling ballsy, the SBD

47D40  hmmmmmm....

yak9U Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.

spit 14 Been there, done that, got the tee shirt 2 - the sequel.   Flew this like mad for several months after it went “legit” (i.e. was un-perked).

109g6/14 Still thinking about the G6, which I rarely fly.  I fly the G14 off and on every few months.  Liking the idea with gondolas...  :D

SBD Nah.

I'm strongly considering it.  I flew it early last year for like two months and had a blast.  I'll never reach your level of skill with it... but it is fun to pop the occasional Spitteen or Pony with.

Um...Butcher...that's because YOU were flying them.  :airplane:  :D

Don't forget the G-2, in the weed whacking furballs of AH I can have a lot of fun in it some nights.

Sure you will.  I play so rarely now that my rusty rust has rust.

I was good once upon a time, but never like Mechanic or thrila.
