I havent played ah2 yet so I cant really decide. But I do know planes that I want to try out first. Like p38L,F6F,FW190D-9,and the BF109g-10. For some reason I just have urges to fly those planes first. want about you guys?

Either of  the Yak-9s.

The Yak-9U had the best combination of speed/maneuvering in the game (IMO of course), although the weak guns (1 ShVAK and 2x .50s)  and limited ammo are a turn-off for most players.

The Yak-9T is just funny. It handles well at higher speeds, but doesn't have enough horsepower to keep it up (so it's a bit of a bobsled, great downhill, but you have to push it back up) The funny part is the 1 ping kills of pretty much any fighter in the game (due to the 37mm elephant gun). It only has 32 rounds of ammo, but remember, it only takes one round to get a kill lol.

Spit 5 is my favorite, but if ya REALLY wanna play well, you
should start with a P-40.  Just let me know when your online
and where your flying out of
   (j/k about the 40..don't use it)

Honestly, so far the Hurricane IId... its fixed and its awsome. Fly right at tree top level looking for GV's then when you find one fly over it and pull up into the verticle and kick her around then back down. 4 or 6 rounds of 40mm into the turret is all it takes.  :D

I'm with Sikboy, Yak9T is more fun than a barrel of monkey's.

You can vulch the vulchers with it, you can strafe the CV's with it. Its possible the single best ack killer of the planeset. (1 shot, = 1 ack dead)

Its good for base defense especially vs Carrier when the cons are coming in low and hvy. Ecellent LVT & PT killer.

It RULES for vulching and capping an enemy field.! (lead a bit ahead, poof, BAM, crash, another sucker dead)   :)

Biggest problem I have are 109's, 190's that stay fast & high. La7s that team up with spits. (can't out run, can't out turn without someone getting me)

Bf109.

 Always was, and always will be.

 One of the most challenging planes to fight and survive in IMO. Ofcourse, you can survive forever in a 109 if you play it safely, but the real fun in 109s starts with close-range maneuvering - which is probably the only way a non-vulch, altmonkeying 109 can ever get a kill.

 The various 'personality quirks' this plane has makes close-range maneuvering very fun. Unlike most other planes, riding the stalls, chopping throttle, countering torque, getting into firing position, landing hits.. everything is a challenge in this plane.

190A-5 or 190A-8 those are my babies always will love flying them 109s are good to like Kweassa said takes skill to fly them. i think it takes skill to fly any german plane i mean any1 can get kills in a spit it takes a good pilot to turn fight in a 109 or 190

Depends on my mood and the situation ... I fly as many as 4 or 5 different planes in any one night and like 'em all in their own ways. One of the advantages of playing these games so long is that switching planes doesn't affect me too much.


Mosi if we're doing base capture and after 30 minutes the damn city still ain't completely down - about the fastest way to get a pile of ord and cannons someplace.

Currently I use the Spit IX for general patrol work - but my style is e-fighting, so you won't see me caught in a flat turn unless its time for the coup de grace. Otherwise I patrol in a P51D if it looks like I'll have to go a couple sectors to find stuff.

109G-10 for killing high alt bombers. Duh.

Sturmi for killing GV's and last ditch base defense.

La-5 or Hurri IIC for base defense, depending on how far from base the intercept is. La-5 is nice because you can get out of trouble as fast as you can get in it and folks pay more attention to La-7's.

F4U-1 or F6F for work from CV's ... depending on if we need ord or CAP. FM2 once in a while for chuckles if we're offshore an enemy base.

Fw190A-5 (2 cannon only) or D-9 for maintaining CAP over enemy bases - which one depends on my mood. The A-5 is more fun, but on nights when the Warp Gods are against me and I can't hit the broad side of a dweeb I take the D9 so I can get home at least. The roll rate and cannon ammo of the 190 is hard to beat.

Typhoon/Tempest...It's fast where it counts, down low, bleeds E in the horizontal which is actually a good thing for a very fast plane that accelerates well, then there's the 4 X Hispanos with which any high deflection  snap-shot will do the trick! ;)

Well so far for me my favourite has to be the Fw-190-D9. Just a great plane to fly. Good guns, good zoom climb,  excellent roll rate, great speed, just a great plane IMO.  Next favourite has to be either the 109 G-6 or G-10.

This I find amazing, when flying you'd first have to fly trough a layer of spit pilots (untill 10k) but hardly anyone has the spit as his/her fav. plane!

How come they're there so much than?!
