Planes vs. ACK
« on: February 23, 2015, 09:33:06 AM »
Other than the P-47s and FW-190f, what other fighter planes would you say are the most survivable against field ACK?

Thanks,

Slade  :salute

Ki84 toughest plane in the game. 
Adding after the P-47.  The P-38 fits in here as well but the loss of one engine on a second pass is likely and having two engines is what helps it fit here.

I always found the Mossie to be pretty resistant to AI ack.

But also a lot slower and will take a lot more hits.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Any plane. Ack is super easy to avoid.

Easiest to survive being hit? The Mossi is surprisingly tough for being made of wood.

190a8 is close to the 190f8 in number of hits to die.

I don't think so.  At least I can generally get somewhere in the A8.  The last time I took an F8 up (it was against a strat), something waved in my vague direction, and I had an oil leak and lost an horizontal stabilizer.  Yeah.  I was surprised too! :eek:  I didn't have a pilot wound!!! :banana:
