S!
Not much differences but table shows that D-11 is actually the fastest jug in game.
Tests were done after 1.08 patch 6 were D-30 WEP was corrected.

Makofan, excellent choice! Stick with D-11, it's uber
I am not so choosy with planes, I fly all green jugs except D-25. Low speed handling in D-11 is superb, even with wep. You can do funny things at low speeds after little training, nothing is more fun than flying at the deck (100ft) and watch hungry spit coming in to your six. At distance 600 or so start violent rolling scissors with full flaps and watch that spit crash!! People tends to go "greedy mode on" after they see low jug, remember this, you can use it as a weapon! D-11 has very good "secret" weapon; it's ability to make hammerheads. If you're looping long enough and figure out that not enough speed for another loop, no problem, you can change it to hammerhead/wingover -kind of combination in any time. That'll surprise your bogey =) Practise lots of vertical thingies, jugs are real E fighters, but do not hesitate to take it down and dirty too, it actually can do some furballing. Just remember to not to start turn with anyone, not even B-17; it'll out turn you. You may start turning with full flaps and think that wow, this can turn, but look at the nme, he's flying eights around you and laughing his prettythang off!! Been there =)
Good luck!
