What is the worst fighter plane in Aces High?

[HL117]

The one with the fixed gear , not the stuka it the  "D"  something

[Volron]

Honestly.. anything I am flying at the time.

Ise suxorz at fighterz.

This.

Hurri I makes everything else seem fast.  Negative G cut-outs, bb guns and "Hurri" icon hurts from an offensive standpoint.

Runner ups-

Spit I is akin to the Hurri I but in my experience, better in LW.
P-40C it's guns kinda suck, but is a noticeably better turner than the P-40E.  A toss-up.
I-16 has some wacky handling but nice firepower - if you can bring it to bear.
109E is nimble but slow and the guns are far south of good.
C.202 is a nice turner/climber but too few guns.
A6M2 short clip, slow, fragile and the "A6M" icon.

All of the non-P-40C aircraft you mentioned will, pilots being equal, kick the bellybutton of a P-40C with ease.

The one with the fixed gear , not the stuka it the  "D"  something

D3A1, not a fighter, but it to will kick the bellybutton of a P-40C.

  Think I have flown it like 3 times, what is it considered a bomber?

Dive bomber.

I think the worst fighter will be the c202. In my opinion I think anything that lacks fire power.....unless if you are a human aimbot and can land shots hitting pilots in the head...like 1 ping shots. C202 will be a great plane if someone can do that every time. Again it's considered one of my worst fighter....again that plane will do some nice ACMs but lacks firepower.

[Bruv119]

I would have said p38 but we all know that is a bomber  so ill say me410  that thing cant turn inside of an aircraft carrier.

[Grin]

Anything that has a dead engine from pushing the nose down.

[JVboob]

Me410 for the "heavy fighters"
P40C ( i hate to say that, it is a joy to fly though)
The ultimate worst bird is the K4 and LA7 2nd and 3rd to the Yak3

[Zimme83]

I vote for P-40 too, it lacks the speed and acceleration and unlike other slow planes it has too high wingloading to be able to win turn fights. A lot of planes, Spit IX, Niki 109F etc can beat the 40 in both top speed and turn performance.

The worst plane ever is easily the Brewster.

Oh i see what u try to do sweetheart. But we still love u.

Yes they will, though I got the impression that the topic wasn't about specific head to head match ups, but more about general capability versus the entire plane set.  From personal experience, I was far more successful* in the P-40C than the Hurri I.


Did some digging in the AH stats pages and tallied the kills and deaths of the eight previously mentioned aircraft.
Totals for the previous twelve months in the Late War Arena:

K/D+1

P-40C  -  .73
I-16  -  .72
P-40E  -  .7013
C.202  -  .7011
Hurri I  -  .56
109E  -  .54
A6M2  -  .45
Spit I  -  .34


Usage (kills+deaths)

I-16  -  7042
A6M2  -  4467
109E  -  3314
C.202  -  2202
Spit I  -  1940
P-40E  -  1913
Hurri I  -  1839
P-40C  -  1519


Kind of interesting that the plane considered worst by many (and flown by the least) has a better K/D than the others.  It appears that the Spit I could be the worst plane in Late War.



* Personal stats for P-40C and Hurri I:

Hurri I: 111 kills/63 deaths (1.73 K/D)

P-40C:  465 kills/155 deaths (2.98 K/D)

Anecdotal, but still...


Just for kicks, the Spit I:  156 kills/71 deaths (2.17 K/D)
I think some of the improvement over the Hurri is a result of the "Hurri" icon scaring away potential sparring partners.

[pipz]

The 202 is a sexy plane. It has a full history as well with plenty of combat. I just wish I could shoot stuff down with it heheh. I would have thought it was my sloppy aim but I can shoot stuff down with just the MG's in the nose of a late 109 or Ki-84. Are the Bredas weaker than the other two mentioned?

Damn I was close with the I-16 Haha.

Latrobe has too much credibility, as he could be flying a Sopwith Camel and still out climb any plane in the game.

The 109E is also a legit death trap.

[TW9]

I'd say the C-Hog relatively due to its high price, crappy mechanics, and no rear view which sucks because it used to be one of my favorites. I know the old one was a bit OP but so are a lot of other planes. I think the newer one could use some dumbing down.

***Note: Haven't played for awhile.

[Coalcat1]

I would have to argue the 262. Other than speed, it's rather lacking in performance. Slow acceleration, in most hands, poor maneuverability, high perk price, difficult to use gun package, and the fact that everyone and their whole family will try to kill you lead to it being a hard plane to fly.
