What is the Queen of all Hanger Queens? I say:
D3A
The IID
-
The B5N2. Smallest combined value of kills & deaths in MA apart from Ar 234.
People usually seem to prefer the TBM.
(Hurri IID has almost as many kills as the Spit XIV...)

May be in your hanger.
But I up the bugger on almost a nightly basis.
Plinking tanks is very addictive.
So addictive I become impatient and fly into trees.
:D

Certainly not the D3a1 val!
B5n yes, its low, its slow, it has almost no guns, and it doesn't carry much.
-
Agree, B5N, it's used so few that I totally forget we have it in game! :D
-
Don't really see too many IIDs, though. A lot of those kills may be against GVs, as I think the D REALLY loses a lot due to the weight of those guns (she just doesn't maneuver like the insta-HOing IIC).
Actually, haven't really seen any jeeps lately since the newness wore off. F4F-4 pops up only occasionally in LW. Ran into a formation of Bostons last night, the first time in months I'd seen any up. Rarely see the C.202, most C2s in LW are the aught-5.

Ummm cuz thats what the D is for.:D
AP rounds are for tanks not AC.
Why would you bring a knife to a gun fight?

By least combined kills and deaths over the past 3 months (not because I raced out to try to prove you wrong Lusche but it's how I track my own stats so I had it handy), as a fighter it's the Bf 109E-4. Here's the bottom of that list (under 10,000 combined kills and deaths). It would be hard to call some ofthese hanger queens though.
Model Kills Deaths K/(D+1)
Hurricane Mk IID 950 2296 0.4136
Chute 3203 0 3203
Boston III 287 2704 0.1061
Bf 110C-4b 982 1849 0.5308
Spitfire Mk XIV 1469 1335 1.0996
P-40B 496 2130 0.2328
Ju 87D-3 699 1880 0.3716
SBD-5 509 2114 0.2407
Me 163B 2289 379 6.0237
Gunner 1435 1075 1.3336
C-202 583 1174 0.4962
Bf 109E-4 658 1251 0.5256
B5N2 334 1194 0.2795
D3A1 268 1009 0.2653
Ar 234 223 532 0.4184
Out of these I regularily, although lightly, fly the Hurri IID, Ju 87D-3, Me 163B and Ar 234... oh... and the Chute.

Hehe, I just took a look at current tour stats, I only track my own stats over time, didn't bother to keep total arena stats yet...
I find it a bit surprising that the B5N seems to get even more use than the D3A, as the Val is a nice little turnfighter (outturn zeros and make everyone else auger ;) )

A certain squady of mine uses the B5N exclusively for anti GV.
Good climb and center slung bombs make for a great combo.

Yep, that's why I fly it so often :)
-
No forward firing guns on the B5N2.. makes it kinda tough to get kills.
-
I see NONE of you have ever been to Candy Mountain!
-
I'm like the only person i ever ever ever see in a b5n, i see the IID sometimes but not often,
-
The Yak-3.

I'd never take a IID away from an anti-GV field-support role, but i've never used it. maybe i should. I always use the Yak9T for the no-ord, gv porker situations.
Very fun watching the turret come off a tiger (even better when you look at your ammo counter when you pull out from the kill and see Can [ 1 ] )
:lol

I would like to see a film of that. I have never seen an Yak9-T succesfully attacking a tiger. Oh, I have seen it getting the credit for the kill, but the real work was done by friendly GVs. And in my opinion a 37mm HE round should not hurt a Tiger anyway...

I have used the IID messing about in the DA a2a... you can pull of some amazing long range shots. I tapped fire from over 1k not expecting to hit and... BAM!
It really is a lot of fun. So fun in fact that i might try it a2a in the MA :)

Same here, film please. The only damage HE should do is de-track or take out the the commander's position gun.
Other than that you might as well lob pingpong balls at it.

Yep they won't insta-kill a tiger.

The 110C is one of the best german turnfighters in AH. Two in a team can bring nice suprises to a SpitV or other mid war planes. In 1940 its realy good. I prefer it over the 109E, cause the better ammoload and MUCH better E-management. But you need to use 25% or 50% fuel.
Otherwise i dont see the G6 very often. Without the 30mm the G2 is the logical choise.
Greetings,

110C ruled the sky in BoB2006 ;)

Too bad we don't have a realistic Bf110 for the BoB.

what happened to the king? :D

They eat their mates.

i beg to differ i love the d3a and a few guys fly it.
as for the hurri IID its Vs GV's so you never see it above 2k

Been taking Bostons to CV hunting lately. Well, they have a light bombload, but good ROC and very nice speed add up, and I made many hits! Takes half the time of a heavy bomber to get to target, bomb at 300 mph! Make 2 missions instead of one.
Bostons are cool!
