1 is P51D specifically, Spitfire generally.
2 is Panzer
3 is Lancaster I think
4, 5, and 6- see no.1
7... they're all pretty much the same, despite what some 'loyal' players say.

Lusche did a K+D comparison for all the planes in the game for a year.

Two kinds of people in the world:
Pissed Off People & Stupid People.
Pissed Off People are furious because everybody else is so stupid,
And Stupid People can't figure out why everybody is so damn mad at them.

We Knights are in there somewhere. :D

Define success?

If your definition of success is "winning the war" I'd have to say Bishops overall.
If your definition of success is effectiveness in air combat it would be Rooks hands down.
If your definition of success is being versatile and adaptive that would be Knights without a doubt.

Take your pick...

You sure? I always thought we were the most succesful at fighting our own people...

Ironically, Knights relative lack of cohesion and organization are their saving grace. Knights are tricky to fight because they are unpredictable. I can predict what Bish will likely do well into the future just by looking at the map and knowing how they collectively think, the same goes for Rooks. But, honestly, even though I fly on Knights a fair amount, I almost never have the first foggy clue what they may do next. Knights have inadvertently honed disorganization and radical divergence of will into a finely tuned weapon.

Actually, we fly for anyone, it just depends on how wacky the numbers are and where the best fights are.

every country has there armchair generals,  and diverse types of players, i think to dogpile them in one group is way off.

the rooks are the best at taking bases and are the best pilots in the game, but they cannot hold bases very well

look at the icon on the field labels, if it looks like a castle,it is rooks.if it looks like knights head armor,it is nit.
if it looks like a tower it is bish. just remember how chess pieces look.
