Do you fly 1 plane 99% of the time?

I like to fly and drive 'em all, and sometimes have made it a point to do every airplane and ground vehicle until I have at least 1 kill in each for the tour.  Helps me understand their strengths and weaknesses, although you'd never know it by my scores.

Although, over time I do tend to favor the La-7, F4U-D, P-47D, YakU and T, and Zeke -- nice blend of b&z and turn and burn.

When not flying with my squad my mood dictates my ride.

I like flying a bit of everything.  I do think that the key to becoming a better pilot is learning the strengths and weaknesses of certain rides so I tend to fly things in batches.  Start of this tour I flew the 205 for a week or so, then the Spit IX and Seafire then I got bored so now you will find me in the Tempest for 90% of offensive ops and the spitIX/LA7 for defence work (which I hate).

I think the P51b, Spit mkI/V and KI61 are next on the list for me.. maybe another week away though.

I try to fly them all.

I feel its better to be proficient in many aircraft than an ace in only one or two.

I usually pick out a "plane(s) of the tour"  that I'll fly maybe 60% of the time.  I'll fly whatever I have a sudden like for.  The last five tours I believe it went:  205, 109, 190, Hurricane/Emil (BoB), and now to the F4U-1C and 1D.  

My main buff ride pre-1.10 was the B26.  Now I'm taking a liking to the Boston.

My stats show a few kills in just about every plane and I like it that way.  Every plane but the N1k2.   I can't stand that thing... I *still* feel dirty for flying it that one night back in tour 7 :-D.
