Which Plane

[AJKOK1]

I am gradually getting to grips with Aces high, for now I am concentrating on the Fughters. I think it is best to get as much practice as possible with a single plane rather than jumping around on different ones.

Can anyone advise which is the best plane to use - I.e Speed, Weapons, Tolerence when Flying ?

Thanks for you help

I guess everyone will have a different opinion. Probably not a simple answer, all depends what you like.

I've only been playing Aces High for a few days, so I'm still getting to grips.

Perhaps a better question, is what statistic should I look for ( if it exists) that indicates how easy a plane is to fly - i.e is less likely to stall, get in a spin and so on. I assume some planes are more tolerant than others.

The LA7 is like a Millenium Falcon here!  A subtle sleeper, almost invincible and hardly anyone flies one!

Spoit IX is a good plane to learn the game with.  Does everything well, except Jabo.

Jabo ??

Apologies as a newbie for not knowing the terminology.

Jabo=Ground Attack

Its from the German word Jagdbuffoon, which means "The 190F8 is really porked" or something like that. Anyhow, Jabo=Ground Attack

I've been with AH for over a year and just started venturing into fighters. I started with Goons, worked over to bombers and so forth.

I've flown some training missions with my squads top pilots, and we seem to find the F6F Hellcat is a good all around fighter. Poor acceleration, good roll rate, can keep up with most of the better turn fighters for the first 2 loops, etc. Plus 6 50's with a ton of ammo is great for those of us who's gunnery needs work.

From my experience, the Hellcat can take alot of damage too. Downside is you won't be able to keep up with the faster planes unless you have an e-advantage. So if your gonna fly the kitty, be sure to start a fight with some alt to play with.

if you fly any other plane than a 190a8 w/ quad 20mm you surely must be a dweeb

hammer are you refering to your former squad/my squad on your web page, where your talking about choosing a squad? "where you were made XO of fighter wing"?


just curious, i was reading thru your stuff there as i always love reading thru your site. and i wasnt sure if you were talking about the Nazgul?

either way

I never flew a flight sim before i came here in feb. of this year...
my CO convinced me to join up and i couldn't be happier
when i asked him what to learn flying in he said 205...
it's not an easy ride to learn on but you'll be glad that you learned to control a more difficult plane from the start instead of learning in something easy to fly.

I might be going against the grain with this one, but....

I'd suggest starting with an 'E' fighter, rather than an 'A' fighter.

Getting proficient in E management will pay larger dividends down the road.

My Suggestions:

P-51D
F4u-1D
Fw190-a8 or Fw190-d9
P-47D30

These I chose for thier good overall speed,  high speed handling, decent zoom and good views.
