Plane qualities you value the most

[Hristo]

What characteristics you value the most in a plane ? Is it turn rate, speed, climb, range, high speed control authority or roll rate ?

Please put only 5 most important characteristics you’d like to see in a plane. Then name the plane which, in your opinion, has most of those charcteristics.

Thanks for your input

Here’s my opinion:

1. Dive
2. Acceleration
3. Deck speed
4. Guns
5. Durability

As you probably guessed, the plane is Fw 190D-9.

[ra]

1) Good high speed handling
2) Good gun platform
3) Lots of ammo/ordnance
4) Fast
5) Tough

You guessed it, P-47D.

[Dead Man Flying]

Hm.  I could've sworn Hristo was asking for a P-47.

Hehe, DMF, close but not right. Dora has way better acceleration and probably tad faster on the deck (not sure).

Besides, Jug has wrong markings  

[Thzone]

1. Guns
2. Fairly good handling

5. Lots o' ordinance

Oh, how interesting as Hristo put DIVE in first place (alt monkeys always do...)  

Anyway my input could be something like this:

1. Finnish swastikas (109G-2)
2. Low speed handling (109F-4)
3. Speed (109G-2)
4. Over all handling (109G-2)
5. Finnish swastikas (109G-2)...
