can you guys answer these questions for me a bit.
what's better a...
fw190D or Ta152
Ki84 or KI61
Ki67 or Ju88
Ju87 or the Val bomber

I think you'll have to be a bit more specific as to the term "better". "Better" at doing what? And did you mean in-game or IRL?
-
D9
84
88
87

Ki-67 is faster and carries bigger guns, with better arcs of fire. As good of a bomb load. Hands down better than a Ju-88.
B-26
Ki-67
Ju-88
Boston III
In that order.
A-20G is more of a heavy fighter-bomber-attack a/c, and you cant use formations, so I leave it out.

Squire,
Look again. The Ju88 carries a heavier bomb load than a B-17. Ki-67 carries less than any late war U.S. fighter.
Defensive armament and performance goes to the Ki-67, though.

Incorrect. The maximum loadout of the Ki-67 is 800kg~1,764lbs of ordinance.
The maximum loadout of the Ju.88A-4 in game is 3000kg~6,614lbs of ordinance.
A formation of Ju.88A-4s can carry in ordinance the equivalent of 3.75 formations of Ki.67s.
The differences in speed and survivability would have to be far more extreme than they are to even make a comparison of the two.

I would say more folks would choose the Ki-67 if rtbing was a real issue, but its not with many.
Take a Lanc.

Ask Bj229r, I was able to bomb vultch 6 kills in a formation of 88's after dropping two FH's. There were about 4 Rooks there and allowed me to bomb vultch with the 50kg bombs salvo set to 1. I landed 6 pelts with 14 in each plane left, kept all three buff's too.

D9 (unless you have talent, then its the 152)
84
67 (best defence but worse bombload)
87

I see Ju-88s and think "Lunch!"
Ki-67s give me a little more pause 'cause of that 20mm right in my favorite approach angle (vertical drop from above). Especially if there's the possibility Triple 9's is the gunner...

Better is a very relative term. Better "for what"?
fw190D or Ta152 --- Ta152 better at very high altitudes esp vs bombers. Dora just a nice luffenwobble plane all around.
Ki84 or KI61 --- Ki-84 is my preferred Turn Fighter. Ki-61 I actually use as a dive bomber and patrol GV spawns in if Flak keep knocking my IL-2 out from under me. Hard to compare these two together, different strengths for each.
Ki67 or Ju88 --- Ki-67. My favorite tool for killing CV's. Also decent vs GV attacks, or knocking out several ord or radar at several fields. A single Ki-67 can be sort of flown as a WWII version of Vietnam "Spooky" gunship. Circle an area with many smaller eggs and that 20mm cannon to harass enemy GV's, pop light vehicles, and play spotter for friendly GV's.
Ju88 just a means to kill close strat factories and cities when interception probability is low. Will give good buff perks..... if you like the Arado.
Ju87 or the Val bomber -- massed Stuka raids can be fun. Val....at least it's better than the Kate. Judy would be better still. But if I'm dive bombing, I'll grab a Ki-61 first.

Ki-67 has rather light load for most work. But its speed makes up for a lot of it. Much more survivable IMO than the ju-88 in the main.
Ju-88 has better load, is more flexible, (dive brakes) but its defensive guns bite. Like anything else depends on what your trying to accomplish and how badly you want to land.
Ju-87 = great vs vehicles.
D3a1 val = Well I love the val, what can I say. :)
It may be worthless as a bomber, but it is a wonderful trainer Aircraft.
Its a joy to fly just for flying sake. It will turn with any plane in the game, yes even the A6m2 if you use flaps. It has popguns, but they have a near endless supply of ammo for them.
The real joy of flying the val in combat is suckering other bigger, faster, better armed planes into turning with you. Ping them once or twice, then fly them into a hill or sucker them into a split S so they lawndart.
There is no feeling in the world like landing 2 kills in a val vs late war aircraft.

fw190D or Ta152
Unless you are planning on fighting at 20,000+ft or need long range the Fw190D-9 is better.
Ki84 or KI61
The only thing the Ki-61 can do better than the Ki-84 is dive. The Ki-84 is vastly superior.
Ki67 or Ju88
If you are hitting hangars then the Ju88A-4 is better, in all other cases the Ki-67 is very much better.
Ju87 or the Val bomber
The Ju87D-2 is better than the D3A1 in all ways other than handling.
Serenity is an idiot to even think of giving advice when he knows he is so obviously biased. If you can't separate your personal wishes from reality then you should refrain from pretending you know anything.

For all-around arena use the 190D9. For high alt hunting the Ta152. Actually the 190A8 is my favorite in this family.
[Ki84 or KI61
Overall I'd have to say the Ki84.
Ki67 or Ju88
Ju88 in my opinion but I don't use either very much.
Ju87 or the Val bomber
Ju87 but I'm biased as I don't think I've ever flown the Val.

ki-84 baby! Fear it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
