There has been a lot of plane topics lately, but none asking this question. Which plane do you have the most fun in when you fly. Does it give you the most satisfaction when you get a kill? Does it make you giggle? Is it just the right amount of dweeb vs uber?
For me lately it has been the c205 and me110. The 205 has enough ammo to down to down 8 planes while spraying and is'nt great at any one aspect, but it doesnt have any great weakness either. The 110 I cant explain, its just fun, and also gotta love the tater.

P40E's and B's always a P51 for me.
-
I enjoy the Ki84 more then any other plane.

thats cause you pick then run :P :noid

I find the Ju-87 and D3A1 to be the most fun but there's not enough good opportunities in the LWA to fly them that often.

Tough to see a good 38 pilot go bad. He used to think the 38 was fun :)
P38G is THE plane for fun!

spit 9 in a low furball
F4U1A when I have alt and outnumbered. scratch that. F4U1A in a low furball. Flaps. Spit XVI 200 off. And rolling hills. or with some alt in a rolling tumbling catfight with a Zeke.
Survey says...the Hog.
-
As long as I'm in the air I'm having fun. :D

p40 is a wild ride when the 38 is getting fluids changed...

Those are excellent planes for that!
For me it's the Zeke 5 and the P40E, the Val and Stuka and SBD hard on the tails of those.

Hurri I and Me 163.
-
Which plane do you have the most fun in when you fly.
Hurri I and C.202, depending on whether the likely opponents are flying IICs or Zekes.

Anyone who hasn't been in a dedicated Hurri I and C.202 scrum has missed out.

A-20 overall....unusual combination of docility at high AoA and a center mounted sawzall lets you constantly explore the edge of the envelope and cash in on what ever you might find. Occasionally having Batty as a gunner adds even more fun to the mix :D :aok
The SBD is also a lot of fun and surprisingly capable as a fighter. Obviously the gunnery punch is much lessened but they seem to hit very hard. I can normally get a kill with 60 rds or so when I'm on...but at times its hard to get the lead right.
C202 is probably the most fun to fly vs spit drivers and 109s that want to try and mix it up. You can baffle a spixteen driver for a long time in a 202 never getting more then 1.5 from him (unless he runs) but never even giving him a real sniff either. I cant hit with the 202 guns very well so I lose interest a bit.

The funnest plane has got to be the one that I am in at any given time. I have been a WWII enthusiast since I was a kid, and it is a hoot getting to fly the whole inventory of AH planes.
-
typhoon is my plane of choice! i luv it!!
Ditto
-
zero
if they run, then they run. . .but if they stay. . .lots of fun
-
Val.
Especially when a whole Candy Mountain Mishun full of them runs into a Buff mission full of NOE Lancs.
EPIC AWESOME!

P40E fun to be the "underdog" but with still a fighting chance.. its slow, so you gotta be chill and laid back.. perhaps put your feet up and take a nap while in route.. then pick a fight with a D9 and watch him try and BNZ you till he is low on fuel, vulch him as he tries to RTB, die and ack, drink a beer.
JUG climb to 18k, spot some bombers at about 8K. hit wep, point it straight down .. make this face : (http://theletter.co.uk/images/lc/wind_in_face.jpg) Your going so fast that even with 8 50s its hard to hit your target.. then you zoom back up into low earth orbit.. repeat until disoriented bomber flies into mountain.. drink a beer.

109F4
-
Spit5b...wheeeeeeeeee! (not a "Dweebfire", more like a "Tardfire", but still fun)
-
Ki84 and Yak9t, me163
Ki is just pure fun, to me.
Yak9t is challenging... always needing to be looking for a perfect one shot kill.
Me-163 is such a nimble little thing at low speeds, I wish I could see the looks when I pop flaps and fall in behind and stick to a con.
-
There is nothing like a P-40 E for fun , also the F4U-1 . But the P-40 holds a special place in my heart , its slow , under powered and with all that it can put the whalop on someone and it can take a hit to boot .
Nutte :rock
-
P40E,Me110,and the TBM
-
38s, 51D, 25s, 39s, 109F, 109G2, Ki84
There are many fun planes, however I've found the one I'm best at dying in and stuck with it :).
-
P-38
-
IL-2 is fun for me but slow.. It's kind of a sleeper

I never use F3 views. I recall once being hit by a Spit IX I didn't see. There were hammering and cruching noises for about 5 seconds and then he blew by me. I pull the nose up and blew his wing off with my 23mm guns. He did for me to abort the mission and return to base I was so shot up though.
-
Ki61 is a fun plane. As of this tour I've been using the 51d and have been having some good fun TnB fights. I can't hit much with it though, fun all the same.
-
FM-2, 109 E4, F6F, P-40 and the Ju-87.
-
I love the K4..I just love fighting in the verticals :rock
-
109-G2 :rock
-
Hurri1's and SBDs
-
Spit 1 :aok

Fw-A5: Great "sleeper" plane, usually no one expects a knife fight in a telephone booth from it :devil
Mossie: Find a furball, climb above it, point the nose down, blow through taking snapshots (with 4 cannons it don't take much), climb out, rinse and repeat.

I would have to say the P47-N most people, especially newbs, are suprised at how it manuvers for such a large aircraft. Often I am chuging along at around 7K and people dive on me only to see I can force an overshoot and dive on them with my 8 .50's. Those things pack a wallop. It is also fun to see people (newbs I would guess as they don't really fight as agressivly as they should) deliver a hit that would be fatal to their fighter only to see me keep flying, pull an immelman and get behind them. I can almost see their faces, I imagine it would look somehing like this: :huh. When they check six they would be saying "oh, crap" (I feel sorry for the next guy that happens to, he is probably the AA gunner and tanker from my other posts. :rofl
-
Both the la-7 and la-5fn are the most fun IL2 is also fun
-
Bf 109 E&F
-
K4 and KI84 both very fun in any situation, also the 152 is fun if you fly it when you dont have advantage :salute
-
F4U's all versions.
-
Disable F3 view and it's FODDER! And should be! :aok Goes for the A20 also!!!
Exactly! Should be but ain't, thats what makes it a fun sleeper. 23mm chews planes up wickedly, especially in the nose. :aok
-
P40 and SBD bomb run on a CV. I love diving in on a CV from about 16k hitting the dive flaps...chop throttle... and release the 1k bomb from about 9- 10k
-
I'm personally partial to the piquant P-38.
-
P-38J. :aok
K4 is ridiculous fun too :)
-
P-51B is my favorite at the moment... Very challenging when you want it to be, relaxing and fun when you want it to be (latter usually makes people angry though... :frown:), and plus it looks cool with the shark-toothed skin! :aok
Love the P-47's and P-40's... Not so much how they fly, but how they look...
I just love the flying aspect, really... I wish that my X52 trimwheels worked correctly with this game... I also wish you could control mixture yourself if you wished... :)

The g14 with 20mm in the hub and gondolas. An absolutey devastating gun package, and still has enough power to fight nose up fully flapped. It only takes one quick burst to cut planes in half or tower them.

C205

Typhoon , 109G6 and the C205 are a few favs :O
