Plane choice. Why?

[BUG_EAF322]

P38 coz it killed 147 planes and only 8 planes killed me this tour.

I feel home in the lightning

Il grab spit IX, v and FM 2 when i feel getting ganged
just for flying straight to my nme's and turn em to death.

Il2 and  A20 for bombing fun:D

La5 Just because I've been having so much fun in it past few tours and seems people don't realise what a capable and overlooked fighter it is due to it's big brother.

Now for someone to dream up a SnapShot or other event that incorporates these planes

[Lizard3]

Try getting a kill in EVERY fighter one tour. Wait till half way through, then decide to try it. If you shoot like I do,  it'll be a real challenge. I've done it once and got close two other times.

Gives you a real appreciation for whats out there.

Give it a shot. Are ya chicken?

Bwok Bwok Bwoook.

Spitfires because they are historically my favorite planes.  The Battle of Britain is my favorite time period and frankly, there's never been a better name than Spitfire.    However, a Spit I just isn't all that much fun to fly in the MA, so I stick with the Spit V mostly for my Spit kick.

Lately I've been flying 109's because they are a lot of fun to fly once you get used to them.

God forbid any poor dweeb that doesn't fly a plane on Laz's approved list of planes.  Who cares that someone flies a mid or late war plane or their reasons for it?  Buck up little buckeroo, it's just a game.

Lately been getting into the blue planes-f4u-1, c, d and the fm2.  

Took an f4u4 up by accident a couple days ago-couldn't figure out why it seemed all the nme were after my tender beeehind!

The fm2 is just pure coolness-fun turning in it, but once you go in you're committed as just about anything else will run you down.

then your sig reads

"Some pilots are good, some pilots are great but the best of all flew the P-38!"

little hypocrytical huh...

saying that it doesnt matter what it is you fly then your sig is basicly saying that the best pilots flew the p38...mildly hypocritical...just enough for me the hijack the post anyway

You know they used to make the engine cowlings for P-38s at Rohr in Chula Vista?

and yes i am very easily amused

Please explain to me how my comment to Laz and my signature make a hypocritical statement, that is if you know what hypocritical means in the first place.

And in case your ignorance knows no bounds, my signature is in reference that the two top all-time US fighter aces flew the P-38 and is a direct quote from a former P-38 pilot.

FM2 cause its fun
P51d cause its fun

[OverBkil]

Fighters:
Bf-109 G-10, high performance and 30mm cannon
Me-262, fast, 4x30mm, the ultimate goon hunter

Jabos:
Typhoon, fast, 4x20mm
F4U-C, 4x20mm and lots of ammo
IL-2, the best GV killer in AH, but it's fun in furball too

As everyone can see, I usually fly "cannon birds". I want fast kills, hate spraying 50-cals. In fact I have fired G10s MGs only twice in combat: once ran outta 30mm ammo when vulching and again as I shot down a flying zippo (B5N).
