If your not a fan of the F4F, I16, A6m2, etc than speak your peace. But i think theyre the most fun. :x
-
Sorry C.202 Rules!!!! :aok
-
109F4 > you.
-
I'll take your 109 and raise you a p40.
-
The 109G2 is my personal favorite.. Love her and she'll love you back! :aok
-
Mk1 Hurri or Spit. :airplane:
Fly it without stalling the engine. :D
-
High ENY rides are great because enemies are more willing to engage you, even without a wingman or three - GASP!
I like the 109-E4, 202, I-16 and Hurri IID but the P-40E is the mostest fun of them all. :cool:
-
The I16 with cannons is a furball bottom picker. You can sneak around under the action and pick off ususpecting spits and 109's when they goof and make a sharp climbing turn in front of you. You just pop up right under them and they never know what bit them. It's got a mean 50 yard snap shot with those cannons. For some reason players cut across your front all the time in a furball and never see the littel thing.

I love the P40, but man, I really appreciate faster planes after flying it..
A good while back I had a memorable sort..
I went trolling.. I.E. i flew to a base with nothing going on and buzzed around till someone upped, I stayed at about 3k a good way out.. just far enough to give em an icon to go after..
a La7 upped.. I shot him down.. he upped again, killed him again.. then a spitty.. the spitty gave me hell, but I finally got him.
still had ammo but fuel was close to becoming to an issue, so I decided to leave.
thats when I found out, that if your flying a P40.. you dont decide when to leave..
here comes the LA7 again.. I turn, face him.. (im on the deck now mind you) he tries to out turn me and augers..
I start headed home again.. get about.. 5 feet and hes back..
long story short, he kept upping and catching me over and over and I eventually ran out of ammo and fuel and got vulched when I was trying to ditch..
I havent seen many people suck at the La or flying in general as bad as this guy did, but He had some elite reupping skills..
Now when I fly it, i make SURE i dont get anchored anywhere near an enemy base, to me a big part of the challenge flying slow aircraft is making it home safe.. which is a big challenge when you consider your flying against people who fly with utter reckless abandon and do so in aircraft with almost twice your speed.

Ah the good old P-40E has it all and yet nothing , I love it .

109F4

:aok :rock

109F4
For a 1v1 Its my fave 109. I just dont like flying it in crowed because you have to saddle up too long to do enough damage, and by then someone has either picked your target for you, or your but has been shot off.
-
109f RULES and allways available :rock :banana: :old: elfy
-
I'll take your 109 and raise you a p40.
especially the B
personally i love flying p40B, i16, c202, and 109's
-

+1000

Ahem, what about the P39s?? :old:
-
Yes, I agree with said statements about the I16....However, more important than the perk rewards and the attention u get from enemies that underestimate you is the way the engagements go.
I fly planes at this level of ENY because the fights are more realistic to me.
With the Hurri 1 for example u may have to make 2 or more passes on an enemy to get them killed. Adds to the fun and makes battles more realistic.
Any moron can unload 8 50 cals or a volly of cannon rounds at 500 knots, but it takes skills to give urself the disadvantage in power, weapons, and speed.
-
109F-4, I love that plane. :aok

Some squaddies took up I16s and brews in the DA awhile back. We had a lot of fun in those little things.
We actually hosted a brewster/ il2 raid on the strats one night too. That is the night Grizz's 152 ho'd corky's brewster. It was a run for just the fun and nothing more. We had a lot of laughs.

Ki61. Best plane in the game. :aok

What no love for the MIGHTY P-38G? :D

P38 is not a bomber!! :( everyone always pickin on the 38 pilots... :cheers: :cheers:

P47D11?
-
i actually got kills in the 39D just last night...wasnt easy
yes, we should show some love for the D11 and the 38G
these are my personal favorites for intercepting carrier attacks
the 38G will hold and maintain a decent airspeed in the 3000ft MSL level below puffy ack when a CV is offshore
i cant say the same for the D11...but if your patient enough to extend every pass or two in a airbase vs CV battle, then it is all worth while
despite the disadvantages of the view and power in the D11, in my opinion it surpasses manueverability of any jug at any fuel level.
you'll have a good chance against fm2's, seafires, and zeros on the deck if u have reasonable skill and speed bult up
-

I do love my P-39D, sure feels like you earn what ever kills you may get. :)
-
oh yeah, i will have to disagree with showing love for the 109f4...not that it isnt a good airplane, but that it can only fly in fighter mode
for the many of us that are score conscience, sometimes you want to fly in attack mode if things above the airbase are looking a bit sticky
the 109f4 doesnt have this option
you usually have to dip into the fighter planes of 20 ENY or lower to have good enough power to move around quickly and get kills, which is what fighter mode is mostly about...kills per time
the 109 f4 quite frankly in my opinion just doesnt have the big enough engine for those who want a nice fighter score
no doubt it is a fun plane :D

wow i didnt know that there were that many people that enjoyed the p-40 that much :rock i enjoy flying it because it does take a lotta skill to fly one and be successful (<--- probably why i dont land many kills with it lmao)
-
I love to fly P40 if for no other reason than anything else feels like a hotrod after being in one for any amount of time.

Clearly you have not flown a Zero or Hurricane Mk1 for any length of time then....

I vote P-38G or P-40B, your guaranteed a fight with almost every enemy that finds you....

Maybe so, but unlike a zeke or a hurc I or a spit I for that matter, you actually have to fly a P40.

You can't put the Spit I in there side by side with the Hurri I and Zeke I.
And in my opinion, getting kills and landing them in LW is more difficult in a Spit I than a P-40

Throw the brew in there too.

Compared to some of the other planes listed here the 109F does compare quite favorably. It's fast on the deck with WEP than my beloved 38G, and gets an additional one thousand feet per minute in initial climb. I think the 38 has the edge in firepower which is certainly a factor in killing quickly, but the 109F has an extra fifty rounds of 20mm in the nose which can be potent.

The G 38 all the way .... or the D-11 Jug .
-
There is nothing better than shooting down a spit16, la7,or p51d in a yak9T

I like to kill buff's no matter what ride i'm in. :aok

i suggest you dont go there cuz those ARE my hotrods :aok haha and yeah i admit the yak9u aint a 30 or higher ride but that baby is my true love. go above 15k and even P38s have trouble out flying you. i even out flew a jugm in a climb fight for 6k feet before i killed him

Hurri 1 for the win.. Biggest problem is getting out. The other day i was by an enemy base with a few other guys and ended up on the tail of a 109 but by the time I had finished with him I found no other friendlies anywhere and a massive cloud of red. I managed to shoot 2 more down while evading may attempts by the red guys to poke hoes in me but in the end I think I pissed them off real bad because I felt like a toy poodle surrounded by pit bulls and Rots. No matter where I turned some one was zipping buy letting off a few rounds and in the end someone managed to HO me lol.
Most of the time though I find it amazing at just how many guys it takes to kill a single Hurri 1 and always find myself laughing at them needing 5 or 6 guys on an old ride like that. :D

109G6, 109G2, Ki61, Mossie = Luv

Obviously the 38 driver was not adept at the 38 then.

P-40E, C-202, F4F-4, Yak 9-T, 109F-4 are my favorites in this category. The C-202 is pretty and fun to fly, BUT the endless assists get tiring. I did manage to land a two kill sortie in one this ToD though. The Yak 9-T a challenging sleeper---just don't squeeze off the 37mm until d-200 and it can be fun.
-

which is a crock, it could carry an egg and had wing options which it used to have in the game.
the E-4 even carried an egg
-
P38G = beast.
And did anyone forget about the Mossie? That plane is full of surprises. :D
-

shhh. no need to kill my happy place! and maybe it was 20k cuz i dont remember. the jug pilot was pretty smart though. flew it well at 25k and got my oil b4 i killed him

Sames goes for the C2. Don't fire til you have a kill shot. Takes a solie 2-second burst (or more) but if you get in close the guns pack more punch and do more damage. Think of it like a Hurr1... You hit at 150 it takes half a second to kill a target. You hit the same guy 400 yards out you can tickle him all day because your bullets lose most of their impact at that distance. Something similar happens with the C2.
I landed 12 kills in the MA in a c202, one hotpad midway (wasted half my first sortie's ammo on a lancaster that I never got a kill for). Long ago, back just before the arena split. Doubt I could do it again, it was just a different arena situation back then.

Still too little love for the P-39s. :cry
Seriously!

Boozeman is a GREAT stick in anything---C-205, P39 and watch out if there is an air race! :salute

If you have P51s in the game why would you want to fly anything else? :bolt:

Although I'll tell you.... For bomber hunting it's great until you get into the 25k + alts. As for dogfights, you must make sure you burn your fuel tanks properly.
