You guys really find it easier to get kills in f4u1a than the f4u1c or did you misunderstand the question?

P51D and Spit 9 ever since 2008 have been my most used aircraft. With a P51D I can jabo like none other, hit field ack from 1 mile away and bombing it from even further. Spit 9 because well its a spit and I've even survived 1vs5 dogfights in it, if not more.

That would be the 109F and 110G.

Well, I guess in EW and MW and AvA my best success rate is with the Hurri I.

In LW, probably the Hellcat, generally for the reasons WW discusses.

110g.  Not sure why.  Maybe because many underestimate it are surprised to find just how effective a dogfighter it can be when handled right.

spit16 for me...... for sure....that thing is a beast, the only thing that it really lacks or its biggest downfall is the frailty of it....nothing is as responsive....or able to reverse a situation like it....

now obviously I am known for THE ki84....I love that plane....it is extremely tough, very much reminds of the 47...sometimes I think it takes more than the jug and I believe it does take more then the Blue planes....thats the main reason I fly the Ki...and with my deaths head skin its a no brainer for me :D

I have done good in the KI against the gang,I think the best is a 5vs1 win a couple different times...and I do remember taking on like 18 guys I had good speed and ALT and was flying aggressive but smart and was able to kill 4 of them... only if I am shooting good do I kill them though...thats rare...

the 16 on the other hand is like racing a Lamborghini...when everyone else is driving a pinto....

on most night when I fly I cant hit crap.....bugs the sh%$ out of me that I cant get it down...I mean WTF I know what is supposed to be done... :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead :bhead

I took on 6 cons in the 16 and only one got away....only because I missed like 4 kill shots and finally ran out of my ammo....


some go into a "jet rage" I go into a 16rage..... :D

WW I feel you bro. My long struggle to get the FFB fixed in game was very frustrating. Every time I tried to bring it up . I was jumped on by some players. Ignored by others. Pyro gave me hope for a minute,then it was shot down. The only way  the acknowledged bug was repaired was when a retired Navy pilot that had some stick time in some of our rides <in rl> said I was right. Now I want to see the stall buffet made more realistic in game. What we have now is one buffet it is on or it is off. What one guy with RL experience in at least P-51's said he was told in training in the AF was "pebbles ,rocks,boulders". that is what stall buffet should feel like. You are driving over those items in a car. I hope eventually you prevail. Having sat in the cockpit of an F6F. I know the rear view is porky pie too.

Both are arguably the best pure dogfighters in the game.  try something with a bit less turn / climb / roll.

Edit:  didn't want that to come out disrespectful. Just think you might have fun in a plane more challenging.  :salute

1A is the best of the Corsairs in my opinion. Then again you know the old saying about opinions.

190 for me.

Any of them really - depends on the mission but I suppose the 190A-8 based on my history and stats.  I find it capable in all roles, even down and dirty low speed fighting. (not recommended for the novice A8 pilot) and plenty survivable with some friends about.

I have more kills in the Mosquito Mk VI, but that is quite a different question from what my best record is in.  I suspect the N1K2-J, Typhoon Mk Ib or P-38L, but I am not sure.

My single best sortie was a 12 kill, no rearm, all air-to-air while out numbered A6M5b flight.

190's All the way!  The A5 with 4 20's Its an angles fighting bird that can turn. 275 convergence and 1 pull of the trigger guarantees a broken mess out in front of you. Use the roll and stall in combination for a near floating snapshot of the enemy.
Then the 190A8 which i just recently -last 2 tours?- started playing with. To be 100% honest i believe it to be one of the best planes in the game. Use all the strengths learned from workin the A5 over MA and the A8 becomes a Dogfighting monster. those who cross my A8 knows it does fight. You have to fly it exactly to its envelopes edge and be exactingly smooth. Twin 30's....enough said. The ability to snap roll precisely during a stall fight is key imo. Let the red fella kill himself with ur guns.  Oh and finally, the A8 imho is particularly deadly against P-51's either model. (mi stats say 11 wins to 4 losses on this one.)

Edit..grammar :)

I think that 1a is a better dogfighter, but those chog guns are a game changer, literally, hence the perkering. Every once in a long while I'll do a short chog hop and land with a handfull of kills and it seems so easy I feel like between taking off and landing I could've been watching TV or someting while the chog got kills.
