- Ground Airbase - Yak-3
- Navy - F4U-1D
- Bomber - Mosquito XVI

Those yak 3's are always climb rate devils, they sorta scare me! :noid

Now what would you say is your preferred a/c to engage and get in a scrap with?

Im still trying to find my favorite airframe im leaning towards the K4 or yak3 for ground bases, a6m5b for cv's and my fave bomber is the mossie 16.

Reasons i like the K4 and yak3 are they have good speed, good climb rate pack a punch in the nose. i especially enjoy the yak3 because it isnt the best at slow speeds and takes a delicate hand to control it in a stall fight.

Planes i like to fight are 109's, Jugs and spits. I also enjoy fighting 51's if they hang around long enough :P

Every time I log on I'm instinctively hoping in a F4U-1(birdcage). I also love fighting in the P47D11 and 190A5.

By far my favorite plane to fight is Late War 109s, I love pitting my planes maneuvering capabilities against their superior engine performance. I also enjoy fighting N1Ks, its pretty thrilling trying to catch them in a flat scissors and trying to keep out of their gun sights.

Kills In, P-39Q: getting kills in it is more satisfying for me than any other plane. I recently got two one shot kills in it.

Kills Of, A-20: I'm always hoping it's Cobia! That guy has killed me a bunch.

Mosquito VI, Ki-84, Spitfire VIII are my preferred aircraft.

I enjoy fighting P-51s and Fw190s.  Many others are fun to fight as well, but those two are my favorite adversaries in the Mossie.

109F4, Spit V, 109K4, N1k, pretty much in that order.

The Spit V was my fav go to a/c for furballs back in the day.  Watching Leviathn fly it made me want to fly that way as well, get wrapped up into every fight possible, be very accurate with limited ammo, and have to really, really earn your landings, as you can't outrun anything, you have to kill everything in order to survive.  The F4 is similar in a way, not quite as lethal in terms of a pure slugfest, but you have the speed and power to have a chance of extending from the odd thing.  K4 iMO is the most survivable a/c to get into mob fights with, and come out with kills and being intact yourself the most often.  The N1k is a lot like a Spit V, with more ammo and a little less simplicity.

Surprise surprise...Ki61 but also the 109F and for when a uppers from a cv pile in with a6m's the spit v..honorable mention is the P40 (love this plane)...I had an affinity with the P40e of old...just don't know which one it equates to since they changed and added the new series of them...

For the ki....it is easier to list those that I don't like to fight...they are the UF4UO...and the 38j .... these planes are two that just really give me trouble...and it's not that I don't like fighting them...it is just that they are very troublesome for me in the Ki61.
109F...anything...it is very capable aircraft
same with the spit v

I like to fly just about anything, but my favorites are the Jugs, Corsairs, Pony, 190s, 109s, more or less in that order and depending on mood.  Lately I've been enjoying the heck out of the Mossie VI.  About the only planes I don't particularly care to fly are the P39s and P40s.

Planes I like to fight, pretty much anything other than a Zeke.  That stupid little plane kills me more than it ever should.

My favorite to fight are 109s and 190s because it becomes all the more immersive when facing a historical opponent, and they match up very well against a Mustang.

Because when you can't turn, and you can't hit anything, it's reassuring to know that at least you can probably get away.  :D

F4U-1/-1A and 109f and g2 are the favs and 38G as well.
Love to fight anything that will. I don't even kind the "extend"as long as it is truly that. As long as they want to fight I have a good time and keep trying to learn.
