The 190A5 is my most fun plane.  

Fighting with variasions of scisors and diving barrol rolls along with other ACMs is more rewarding than both BnZ kills and TnB kills.

For the same reason I like the 109G2 or any other plane that relies on characteristics other than speed or turn rate because those two abilities are much too simple to apply.

Lazs just likes to hitch a ride once in awhile.

Started with the spit V: cause was the best compromise between speed and turning capability.

Moved on to the P51b: cause was always being chased down or out run. Also was always low on spits ammo.

Moved on to the Yak9U: Cause the yaks good to handle, fast, small and has no convergence issues.

Moved on to P38: Cause yak always seemed to have too little ammo but other than that was brilliant. P38 also has no need for convergence but is a bit more harder to handle.....but it packs one hell of a punch.

I used to fly Hurri IIC all the time, its great for learning ACM.

I feel guilty about it but i love the La7, you get a decent pilot in an La7 that knows ACM and its deadly vs. anything (i know he is a salamander, but shane comes to mind)

I also like the Spitfire V (if only we could get a low alt/clipped wing model!!)

And P38 for jabo, SBD/D3a/B26 for stupid mood furballing :D

Tiff is great vulcher

Staring to like them guns on the pony

Jug D is tough to match for an all-round fighter/attacker

Zeke is great defender

B-26 is steady bomber platform and can turn with the best, but the bomb system is still a little tough for me....
