The 152 is a horrible plane and should never be flown by anyone for any reason.  You should also completely ignore them when you see any enemy flying them, they are absolutely no threat to anyone.  The guns are complete crap.  A hub mounted 30 and 2 wing mounted 20's?  The 30 only has 90 rounds, it can't kill anything.

It really should have an ENY value around 45 to 50.

Even though i like flying the D9 so much, the K4 is the ultimate fighter plane. Not only the best fighter of the Luftwaffe, but arguably the best and most fun-to-fly fighter in AH, excluding the jets.

  I like the 109F-4 and G-2. I think the F-4 is the best of the 109s as a pure dog fighter but the G-2 can carry a bomb and is about the next best total dog fighter of the German rides in my humble opinion.  :salute

I'm wondering why does it have to be a Luftwaffe fighter?

If it had a 20mm package and not that potato chucker I would agree with you. However I do good to hit the ground with that gun much less another plane but that is a great plane to fly and I like it. :aok

Because I specifically asked about German iron since I have very little knowledge of them and flight time with them.

What one was the most popular with the actual LW pilots? Thanx.

Hmm i could shoot that tater quite well, had much more problems with the G6's 20mm, trying to hold the cross on the target.
See, what is a huge advantage to one, might be a disadvantage to someone else. Just like the torque.

I'd say the Me 262 for those few that actually got to fly one.

The F series 109 and the D series 190's were very popular as well.

Yes, the F was popular in it's time and being considered the "finest" by many of those being able to fly all 109s... but late in the war (=AH's LW arena) I guess few would have preferred the noble F to a late war monster like  190D or a Me 262.
