Your favourite ride - and why?
« on: March 20, 2015, 06:13:33 PM »
What are u flying and why?

As i guess most people have figured out by now my ride of choise is the B-239. Most people hates it and thats one of the reason i fly it .  :D
  Its one of the slowest plane and a lot of fight will end with seeing the opponent running away but that is something u have to take.
On the good side it has an excelent roll rate and diving ability. and as discussed in other threads it can hold E in turns really well compare to most other planes.
4x12,7mm is not that much firepower but the guns are close together and that gives a decent killing ability. I usually fights untill cowling guns are dry and then rtb, 200 rounds isnt a lot but if u not pray and spray its enough for 3-4 kills. Cowling guns also increase the chance of PW:s as they always fire along the line of sight and are more likley to hit the fuselage compare to wing mounted guns.

The way we fight in the MA is also suiting the Brewster well with Low alt -low e fights so a Brewster can be fairly succesful even against LW rides.

There are too many fine planes to chose from that I could name a single favourite.

Only if it were just about beauty, there would be only one choice: The Ta-152H spreads its wings like an angle  :old:

FM2 Wildcat. I've got a lot of favorite rides in this game, but I keep coming back to this one. Reliable, tough and far more capable than she is ever given credit for. She gets me home after a bad day and she's saved my neck more than once.

Spitfire XII....ER...wait.  We don't have it yet :furious



Beaufighter...um...we don't have it yet either  :bhead



Ok I guess I'll say the P-38G cause it's got my name on it, complete with cannon shell hole right through the O. ;)

Sentimentaly? The C.205, great uncle once removed flew one in the war.

To fly on a regular basis? The K4. I would say the Spit 14, but she doesn't handle great, and it's easy to tear wings off at low alt. And since sticking the FB in my name, I've been more accurate I feel like.

If perks and availability were no factor? The 262. Can't beat the sheer ownage of 500mph deck speed and an almost 10k zoom climb.

P-40

It's an underdog in almost every engagement.
It can't run.
It can't climb.
It's difficult to see out of. 
It draws red guys like a tractor beam.
It looks badass with a shark mouth.
And it is the most fun plane to fly.

  :aok Its sad but in the way the game works the P-40 is the worst plane to fly, u cannot even outturn the faster planes.
When someone wins a tour flying only P-40 he will be the unchallenged master of Aces High.

So far, I'd say the Seafire IIC. A great turn fighter, efficient armament, handle's well at high speeds, and carrier-based, saving me some fuel for a good duration(depending on fuel burn rate.).

Followed by the A6M2, though an all great low-turn fighter, it stresses easily at high speeds from the light armor it carries, and easily flammable. Also carrier-based.

Then the P40B. It may not hit hard or be a great turn fighter, but it can do well if you treat her right.

La5. Good in terms of speed and armament, but it easily gathers too much speed when in turn fights and have to use my flaps.
