Your favourite ride - and why?

[Getback]

F4U-1A. Doesn't climb real well but it's fast, dives well, stall fights well, and has a decent ammo load.

I flew the F6 quite a bit yesterday. That's probably my second favorite.

For bombers I like the 17s, very rugged. I also like the 26s. They are so fast that it's hard to get a good angle on them except in a very fast plane.

109 F. Just cuz.

Since you asked...

There is no better AH combat experience that getting a kill in a P-40.  No amount of perks or score can come close to equaling it.

Secondly the F6.  Flown right it is a lazer beam of death.  Really.  A precision killing machine.  Once you really figure it out it is hard to fly anything else.  Greebo is so right.

EDIT: Notice I said the F6 is a precision killing machine NOT dogfighter.  You dont fly it like a Spit.  It is designed to kill things really efficiently.  It will leave many dead Spit and LA pilots whining that you did not fight on their terms.

Guess I look at it differently than most: I like the good ole B-17, it rains death from the sky, and has the guns to kill any Nat's that threaten its existence being where it is at the moment!!

P-38J.  For me, there is no other plane that provides the fun and enjoyment than the Lightning and it's always a challenge to fight in it.

TA152.  An alt monkey's dream.  Fuel for days, and it fires nothing but cannons, 2 20's and 1 30.  Just a couple of pings, then BLAMMO !

We need maps with more high Alt bases so planes like this can shine. And the Jugs, and the 109s, and the 51s, and all the other turbo'ed. Im not talking anything crazy here but maps that had 8 to 10K bases strategically based would be fun. Nothing is more fun the working turbo'ed B & Z'ers up and down the air column.

Agree with INK on Ki...one of my favorites.

Another would be F6. It don't climb well, it's not very fast, you can't see very well out the rear, it don't turn as well as some planes, it's been nutered by HT and knowing that, every enemy that see's you wants to kill you 1st. There are few that fly them well.

Love the FM2 too.

nice pic of the Ki


but damn dude that Fm shot is just over the top with awesomeness

[mbailey]

Agreed, that Hellcat pic is SICK!!

you can ride on the tail end.....so you can get the full effect....then its a lawn dart straight down....if you can still breathe

[A8TOOL]

Thanks Ink and Bailey but I did not make it. It's from many years ago...wish I could remember who.

The pic of the Ki was from a 7 kill run directly after landing. Think it had 32 holes in it if I remember right. Mostly 303's from a spit who I ran outta cannon. I had no ammo and hardly any gas but made it home.


Anyone can change their screen title by renaming the pic they want to see to AHLOGO.JPG in the AH folder.

hey where did you get that top pic?

IIRC that is me in the Fighter Ace Hurri.

[A8TOOL]

It could possibly be from the same guy who did the F6 for me. I bet you know him but I can't tell you who he is. Pics are from 2008 probably 9
