What aircraft do you have the most success with?

In the shot with the f86, what is the plane next to the pea shooter?

[R 105]

 P-51D and the 109F-4 when I have enough frame rate to play.

I believe it's a P-35.  Didn't know any were left, much less flyable.

Thanks Oldman, that's a good looking bird.

It's the training version of P-35, AT-12. Hence the longer, more shallow canopy.

52 were ordered by Sweden, but only two were delivered. The 50 remaining were purchased by the USAAF as advanced trainers. However, it's unlikely that any were used in this capacity. Most ended up as the Army's version of an executive transport. This is the only surviving AT-12.

According to the Planes of Fame Museum....

Entered service with U.S. Army Air Corp (USAAC) in 1934.

One of three P-26s used by USAAC in the Panama Canal Zone; two still exist today, one at Planes of Fame Air Museum, and its sister ship at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Acquired from Guatemalan Air Force in 1957 by the Museum's founder Edward Maloney.

Refurbished to flight in 1962 by Museum staff, complete restoration to flight in 2006.

The only flying P-26 in existence.

>> What aircraft do you have the most success with?

La7, Spit16

Even with my skills I average 3 kills per sortie (without a rearm) with these...that is why I dont fly them much.  I can make so many mistakes in those planes and STILL have a great chance at getting a kill.

Just checked my stats, and apparently I have more kills in the Fm2 than anything else this tour, 73 against 16 losses. The two airplanes killed most are N1Ks and SpitXIVs, tied at 6 apiece, with the B-26 being third with 5.  This is the kind of k/d you shouldn't be able to get flying a slow turny bird off the boat into furballs, I attribute this survivability to the toughness of the Grumman bird.

Last tour (my first in 2 years) the numbers in that bird were 25/21 though, I guess I was still getting my "sea legs" back under me so to speak.

Could be too it is the Fm2 is low on the preferred target selection by the red guys.

If you saw where he is, he is nothing but a ....supposed tasty morsel.... low and slow....

Definitely the toughness of this helps immensely....add some acm ability and reasonable gunnery....and they are a scary bird.....
