all! I was doing very well in a Spit 1 at first, but the negative g engine out thing really got to me after a while. Tried the Spit 5 too... just "felt" wrong. I have tried a few others as well, like BF109G-10, P-47D-11, P-51D... usually wind up floating home without even getting a shot off. In the Spit 9, I have been killed most often by 51s and LA7s.... go figure. Last night, I went on a goon binge. I figure 3 more drops and I can afford an Arado for bomb runs. As far as fighters go, in one night I got enough perks to afford a C-Hog, but the Corsair's handling is WAY too spooky for me.
I might try a N1K2, but it seems to me they are best suited for field cap or vulching.
As a side note, I found it MUCH easier to get kills when winging with someone and just keeping his 6 clear.
