Post your all time favorite from each of the fighter series: 109s, P47s, 190s, F4Us, Yaks, P40s, Hurricanes, Spitfires, P38s, KI's, and A6ms.
Ill kick things off.
109E
(http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/folanjohnp1/109E_zps036b1a54.jpg)
Emil will always be my favorite of the 109 set because it feels like the true climax of the airframe(109F is often referred to as the best model). Although its the least capable 109 in the set I just can't get over the way it looks and how nicely it handles. The squared of wings really scream "Thousand year Reich". I also love this Skin in particular :P
Yak7
(http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/folanjohnp1/YAK7-SPIT16_zps2ad9ac72.jpg)
I've only recently started to dabble in the Russo rides and the Yak7 just looks and feels the way a Russian fighter should, Its not handicapped by some absurd 3500fpm climb rate. Yak9t is a pretty close second though.
190A5
(http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/folanjohnp1/190A5_zps1e0048c0.jpg)
This plane might be my favorite piece of German iron in the game. It is the lightest and most maneuverable 190 in game. With its incredible Roll rate and good rudder authority it can really surprise opponents in those slow speed fights. Seeing a 190A5 icon always brings a smile to my face because I know its a guy who's gonna try some of that pilot stuff
P47N
(http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/folanjohnp1/P47Escort8_zpsbde7b1ba.jpg)
I love just about anything that weighs over 5 tons and has a big old fat Pratt'nWhitney. Although the D11(razorback canopy) is my favorite Jug in the looks department, the N just feels more comfortable to me while riding the stall buffer. In my experience its by far the most underestimated Jug, when light on fuel it can climb nearly as well as the p47M. I also feel that it absorbs damage better than any other Jug, which makes it great for ripping people out of their field Ack. :t
P40C
(http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/folanjohnp1/P40C-BREWSTER_zpsa4c2e0b2.jpg)
I love everything about the P40C, its crippling power loading, its medicore gunpackage, its detrimental deck speed. When I Think of a World War II plane, this is the bird that pops in my mind before any others.
F4U-1
(http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/folanjohnp1/F4U1-KI84_zps5632fd6d.jpg)
(http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/folanjohnp1/F4U1-TA152_zpsc096e27e.jpg)
My favorite ride period. Mabye it is the least capable of all the Hogs, but its by far the most dangerous looking.
Other rides I don't feel like being all dramatic about.
P38J-Awesome gun package, crazy climb rate, and always an attention seeker which is what I love :P.
Hurricane MKII- 12 .303s that is all
A6M3- Nice roll rate and a little more ammunition to work with.
KI61- good ride, but it looks like it belongs in a DOS program.
Spit14- Its my favorite purely for cosmetic reasons, I like the longer nose and the 5 bladed prop looks sick.

My favorite yak is the Yak3 - in my gun sight and covered with hispano hit sprites.
-
Any P47 with French markings so the other guy knows who is dogfighting... but the M is the most LWA survi eable.
-
109F for me obviously. It's simply the best fighter. Not only of the 109 series but of any plane ever.
P-47's it's tough to decide between the D11 and N. The N is a beauty of a fighter but you just gotta love the classic razorbacks :)
190A5 easily, though the D-9 is a close contender (sorry Debrody :P )
I don't like carrier fighters. Their wings are usually bent :( . SBD is best carrier bird though :P
Yak's its close between the 9U, 9T, and 7b. I love the speed of the 9's and the T's 37mm is so much fun, but the 7b handles beautifully as well!
P-40E. Don't know why, I just like that one the most.
I don't fly Hurri's or Spits, but I'd say the Hurri 1 or 2 with the 12 303s :devil . Spit has to be the classic Spit 1. Those wings look so much better without the 20mm's sticking out of them ;)
P-38G. hands down the best 38 there is.
Ki-84. I thank Ink for getting me interested in this plane. It's a beast!
I don't fly A6Ms, but the 3 was pretty fun in that one FSO I flew it in.

Keep in mind "Ki" is not a series. It is simply the IJAAF's designation for "airplane". The Ki-61, Ki-67 and Ki-84 are all unrelated to each other.
A series of IJAAF aircraft would be something like: Ki-61-I, Ki-61-I-Ko, Ki-61-I-Otsu, Ki-61-I-Tei (what we have), Ki-61-II, Ki-100 (radial engined development of the Ki-61-II)

Yea but I figure it wouldn't hurt since the Japanese plane set is very under represented.
I wanna add the LaGG-3 to my list too, mainly because I'm hopping it gets added.

Versions I prefer:
A6M3
Bf109K-4
C.202
Fw190A-5
Mosquito Mk VI
Spitfire Mk VIII or Mk XIV, hard to pick
Typhoon Mk Ib
Yak-3
No real opinion on:
A-20s
B-25s
Bf110s
F4Fs (I'd probably like the FM2 more)
F4Us (F4U-1A most likely)
Hurricanes
Ju87s
Lavochkins
P-38s
P-39s
P-40s
P-47s
P-51s

110G - Always underestimated which is surprising..... and at the same time oh so satisfying. Turn and climb below 5K tends to surprise the "superplane" crowd. It can get it's nose on you surprisingly fast....and while it can't keep it's nose on you for long, with the firepower it carries it doesn't need to. :D
Seafire - The only Spit I will fly regularly. Doesn't turn or accelerate as well as a Spit V, not as dweebishly capable as a Spit IX/VIII, not a ridiculous super plane like the Spit XVI. Saves me from having to up a Blue Navy plane when upping from a CV. What's not to like? :lol
Typhoon - Underestimated often. Great fun, nice speed and nasty guns. One of the best planes in the game below 8K if used correctly.
Yak3 - If only it had more ammo / I was a better shot :frown:
A6M3 - The best of the zekes.....period. Great fun in the LWMA....but good luck landing those kills you gobble up. :joystick:
P47-D11 - Best dogfighter of the 47s IMO. I hate .50 cals wish a passion so I don't fly it as often as the others.

That's pretty much all I fly. My true love lately are the FM2 and the Dora.. They have been treating me VERY well this past week and a half. I haven't landed so many kills than I have in these two planes lately. And they're great for any fight. If the fight is low and slow, I'll take a either (probably 190D), if it's fast. I'll take an FM2 and slow em down with ease :) they THINK they'll get the easy kill... Right bish? :neener:

Stop lyin..
Ain't nobody fly the G6
That is funny you said that karnak, I didn't know that. But according to the way they fly here in aces high, I wouldnt expect them to be made by the same people. So that makes since and is good game play.

Fw-190A5 is der ubber bird of all time. Case closed...
I am not experten in the 109 though when I take off it is generally in the G14. Great power, above average turn.
When I want to play Navy I tend to strap on the F6F. Absorbs lots of punishment, tons of ammo.
When a field is being horded I like to up an F-16....I mean the Yak 3. Let me get my wheels up on this ultimate perk ride and you'll be lucky to put a hole in my wing. It should be perked.
Spit IX seems the right mix of turn and burn for me. I can generally kill any other Spit in this, and feel just fine taking on anything, though I always tend to end up low and slow and lose a wing to anything BnZing around.
As for anything else, I don't fly them enough to know. I will say the F4U-4 is a monster.
boo

A6m3 (an amazing performer)
Spit IX (the 16's smell like KY)
190A-5 (far under-rated!)
109G-14 (love the vertical ability in this plane, the 30mm is nice too)
P47D-40 (most versatile, imo)
P51B (I don't like perfume smell in a P51D, I stink like it after the sorte)
P40N (most versatile, WEP is nice)
P38L (hydrolic controls are nice!)
Yak-3 (float like a butterfly sting like a horsefly)
-
Of all of the I-16's, I like the I-16 the best.

I'm having a hard time finding my ride. Latrobe loves the 109F as an example. Or ink in his ki84. Having said that, I enjoy flying the 190a8, p-47d40, fm2, F4ud, KI84, p51b and the tu tu for bombing.
