Your favourite ride - and why?

[JunkyII]

It varies from week to week

[caldera]

  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.

The P-40 and winning a tour are mutually exclusive concepts.

Because winning a turnfight is satisfying ... look at dat big oval cowling . Muhmmmmm uh! Or and I compensate from having a small noodle.

Drool.  I mean the plane, not your mini-noodle.

P-47D-25 Because big girls need loving too.

C.202 Because it's Italian and underutilized.

C.205 When the 202 is being bullied.

In Aces High

[Latrobe]

I think everyone already knows this but....


109F4 because it is simply the best fighter in the skies! It handles like a dream and it looks like one beautiful and mean fighter! 

[Phoenix3107]

C.202 Because it's Italian and underutilized.

C.205 When the 202 is being bullied.

At first, I was thinking, "But wait, isn't the 202 the older brother in this?," but after another thought, I thought that the 202 was the sister getting bullied at school by whoever, then calls her brother, the 205, to beat up her bullies.

What are u flying and why?

202 most times, because it's the best flying plane in the game.  I use the two-gun option because I get confused with the different trajectories of the four-gun option.

On rare occasions, when people are flying Brewsters or Zekes or the like, I'll grab my old first love, the Hurri I. 

Most times, though, I enjoy switching planes.  There are so many nice planes in this game, I don't know why someone would want to get wedded to just one or two.

The King of the Aces High skies the Mighty P39 Airacobra!

[GhostCDB]

Spit IX

[master80]

The P-39 of course...

It flies in style and if you treat it right, it can do work

[Mano]

T-34/85

My favorite ride.

It will kill any heavy armored tank with a hit to the sweet spot. (HVAP close range)
It has good speed at 32 mph
It will climb almost any hill (in reverse).
And it will main gun any plane that comes in low. (It's turret goes higher than any tank with the exception of the 76 version)
Has a low profile and is extremely difficult to roll over.
The angled armor deflects allot of shots that come in high.

AH recently raised its perk value.

P38L aside from it being my favorite bird of all time. The guns rock and if you fly it right it will BnZ at 500+ or turn with alot of planes...if you know what your doing.

P47D11 just cause.

And the 110C is growing on me as of late.

[DmonSlyr]

In AH my favorite plane is the 109g14.
1. It is slightly fast enough to have a  chance.
2. I can out turn most planes a 1v1 or at least have a great fight.
3. Still a challenging ride and doesn't do anything great.
4. Suits my style of slash attack


In real life, it either comes down to the P47 or the F4U.
The P47 looks soo beautiful and the F4U was just an awesome plane all around!

B-17G Gunship

Im flying these 17's like they are C-130 Gunships. They are perfect for base defense. I am able to clear the air of enemy cons and dispatch of any gv's. Have saved several bases with the 25% 12-500 lb setup. Usually rack up 3-10 kills on one of these runs.

Can take 17's in around 8-10k and shut down a base and clear enemy cons, finish off a town if needed, and deack with the guns. Been a few times ill miss on a hanger while defending against interceptors so ill just drop to the deck and finish the remaining hangers with the 50cals.

Love taking a set of these buffs into furballs. Rarely do I survive but these babies can go up against 5-7 vs 1.
2nd closest thing to God Mode in this game. If you see the black 17's defending the base you are attacking or see them high above your strat/base and its a rook.... expect a FineTime!

[MrKrabs]

My leading two aircraft are the P-38J, C.202 and the SBD

These two aircraft are honest rides and they have always given me full satisfaction after every sortie even if I died a couragous death.

There is absolutely nothing like fighting 2-20 vs. 1 in a SBD and actually having the ability to score a kill or live long enough to score proxies when enemies auger from frustration or impatience.

C.202 always put a big fat smile on my face when I get the chance to kill twitfires in it. It has also given me many fond memories in dueling encounters with friendly folk wishing to have a nice long sporty fight.

But when it comes down to it my favorite ride of all is the P-38J... The 38J is the ride I have neglected for a very long time by not taking her out the of hanger more often. Many of the sorties where I would normally roll her have been replaced by the 109G-6... I owe 90% of my ACM and JABO education to that ride simply because it has always been that honest universal ride for me. If there was any plane a new user should try, is this plane.
