Tri-Level Cons vs. Ideal Plane(s)

[Latrobe]

Your answer to everything is the 109F.

MK84: "hey latrobe, what is the best coffee maker"?
Latrobe: "The 109F"

See

Well it is! have you ever seen a 109F make coffee before!? best coffee ever! 





(seriously, fly the 109F and you'll know why it's the best  )

I flew the 109F in the last Malta scenario and it left no doubt in my mind about why the Spit V is the best.

sorry Latrobe but p39 is a far superior aircraft

having a bigger gun doesn't make you better! 

We should do some P39 fighter sweeps though.

Latrobe next time were both on p39 fighter sweeps

109F

Love that plane.  I do get plenty of firing solutions with it.  Not as many kills proportional to most other birds.  Weird.

I mean I see plenty of hit sprites.  Just not so many leading to kills as other planes.

Does anyone else have that issue with the 109f?

KI84, mainly because its the plane I know the best.  Its top speed and dive won't outrun many late war planes, but it's climb, acceleration, durability and turning ability make it a good furball survivor.

Its a good vert fighter, but plenty of planes out climb it - Spit 8, 14, 16, LA7, 109G2, G6, G14, K4, etc.  It's a great plane if you want to wade into trouble and stay engaged until you or the other guys are dead.  If you want to survive by being able to separate and reset, a faster plane would be a better choice.

In a scenario where you have cons below you, co-alt and above you, ...

I rarely see bandits above me, as I habitually fly in what we of JG11 call the Zoneysphere.   

Variants of the FW-190 tend to do fairly well up there.

YMMV

My vote go to the Yak-3 due to its super-climb angle, manoeuvrability, and its one of the hardest fighter to down in game, its only drawback is its twin cannon (corrected in the  Yak3p model, also with a better engine).

[darkzking]

p39, p40, hurricane mk1, ki43 all of these way better choices

[Slade]

p39, p40, hurricane mk1, ki43 all of these way better choices

Why?

[Latrobe]

because raynos is weird 

[caldera]

The Me-410 is the obvious answer.
