For the MA I now am in love with the 109 E-4.  It used to be the F4 cause up close it looked like any other 109 but JB42, talked it up and stated that only 20% would recognise that yellow nose.  Well After downing 2 (TWO) NIK1's with the  E-4, I have now fallen in love with the plane.  For CV work I love the FM-2 for attacking ground targets, and the A6M2 for CV defence.
EDIT:
And I bet Laz2 is creaming his panties cause someone is flying "his" kinds of planes, the "correct and only" planes to fly.  Frankly I don't give a avian rodents hindquarters.

   I attempted to BnZ early in my carreer.  I read the tactics manuals and determined that it was the simplest tactic to learn and did well with it in earlier games like RB3D, loved the Fokker D VIII.  In this game, with those tactics, a lot more bullets hit the ground more than the plane I was shooting at.  So I swiched tactics and went for the angles, and got shot down even more than "extending".  Right now I'm climbing out of the learning curve hole.  I still suck, probably will for a long time to come.  I am getting better.
now my hit% is climbing cause I am following this simple Dicta
"If you think you are close, get closer"
