Thats funny, but it don't think Tennesse made any aircraft.

Although, i think i saw you in the "MADDOG" F4- with the 20/20's:)

Or was it the "BoonesFarm" B-26?

The best ride is the YAK-9U IMHO.

But the guns suck, so given that I like to kill,...

The F4UD.

Why? Because it is Blue, it is a Marines' plane, it is only 1 of the 2 Corsairs that ain't perked (tells you how deadly the F4U really is, and I'll bet HTC is looking at perkin it just for general purposes) it is very deadly if flown fast... it turns well with speed.

BUT mainly, I like to tear opponents apart with 50s rather one hit kills with cannons.

Raking a bogey several times with 50s increases their anquish, death by a 1000 slashes

Only thing that beats a 50 cal. is hosing them down with the 30 cals in a Seafire.

Also, it carries a respectable JABO load for those who get into that sort of thing.

Personally I hope no one else flys it so it doesn't end up being perked

On second thought, the F4UD sux!!! It is not worth taking up, you should fly a Pony, NIKI, or Spit! Great planes !

1 of all time on my list...

Yak-9U

2. P-51D
3. Panzer

I'd love to see the Yak-3 added SOME day.... but there are about 25 other planes that would be a better fit above the Yak-3

Eh, I'll chime in.

109G-10 (plane I started in and still my favorite)
190A-8 (outgunned by nothing but a C-hog and a Tiffie, and a 110G-2)
190A-5 (cause it is a damn nice plane, especially for 1943)

Pretty much all the other 190s and 109s, except for the G-6 (which I hate flying), and the 190F-8, which is pointless in my opinion.

For the Allies, it is a toss-up between the P-47 and the P-38. The Jug has fantastic firepower and surprising manueverability, and the P-38 just rocks. My best sortie ever (without rearming) was in a P-38, something like 12 or 13 kills.
