"Special"  like short-bus special?

Yak for me as always.  Someday I'll learn to fly the 38 in AH though.

I am partial for Bf109s myself.. always have been :)

 Quite spiffy plane, with good performance.. in the case of the G-10, excellent. IMO the G-10 rides dangerously in the boundaries of "should be perked" ;) .. but not as loathed as the La-7.

 The 109s are good all-around, multi-purpose plane for air combat use.. it can be used in many situations, except ground attack. It absolutely sucks as a ground attack fighter..

 ...

 This tour, I'm trying out the Ta152H-1.. I really should practice more with the 190s, but still, the Ta152H-1 is in many ways a much more pleasant plane to fly. I'm not as confident to ride out in it at hot battles.. but I'm thinking of spending more time with it. Though quite many unperked planes can outrun it, the Ta152 catches speed and retains it so well that in most cases you can outrun almost anything for a certain period of time(usually, enough time to escape to friendly territory). The awesome WEP performance really helps.

I've had a change of heart.  I've decided that I'll also be flying a Seafire this tour as well.

DMF... I don't believe you are good enough yet to fly a seafire.

SeaFire is good fun....maneuverable, CV landable, and good firepower...

if you feel like an unusual month of flying why dont you fly something you DONT find easy? :)


how about you fly a P40b or hurricane Mk I ?

hurricane C? PAH TOO EASY :D

All i see here are people bragging about their favourite ride but none are worthy unless it involves a huge risk.
Comon guys! youve been playing online sims for years. Wheres the skill and bravery of a pilot so sure in his ability that he decides to fly the hardest planes in the game?

all i see are top pilots flying the top rides :) (not that im any different ;))

UNIMPRESSIVE :) either fly the truelly suicidal planes or stop trolling for compliments!

Ahh yes, a true man.  I don't see why people never use the Macchi instead of the constant spit and pony.
