Title: What plane set really floats your boat?
Post by: Rich46yo on September 28, 2015, 10:23:35 PM: C'mon one set must really do it for you. Russian, Yank, Brit, German, Japanese ?

If you had to stay with one for a month which would it be. Lets throw in vehicles too, tho I know it would only be one of three with them.

Post by: Rich46yo on September 29, 2015, 10:24:01 AM: If forced to pick I'd have to go Russian with Japanese being a close second. With armor it would have to be German.

Post by: FBKampfer on September 30, 2015, 01:31:22 AM: German planes, but it's mostly just aesthetics for me. They just LOOK like killers.

Many of the Allied fighters look like they could be sport, or racing planes. But a 109? It looks like a machine designed for one thing, and one thing only; knock other stuff out of the sky.

Post by: Jabberwock on September 30, 2015, 02:03:19 AM: Hawker Typhoon.

A flawed but mis-understood creation that oozes a sort of muscular charm that I find in no other WW2 fighter. Not the best fighter, not even the best fighter-bomber, but the aircraft and its pilots did the job down low while the Spitfire boys and the 8th AF got to swan around at 30,000 ft making headlines.

Post by: Brooke on September 30, 2015, 02:30:16 AM: Decades ago, it was the US plane set. Then, I learned about the various planes, and now all have appeal to me, as they all have interesting histories.

I often will stick with one plane for a month, as I practice what I'll be flying in the next scenario.

190D (or K4 if it fits your taste). They cannot run away and close combat is fun.

Post by: DmonSlyr on October 23, 2015, 05:41:49 PM: F4Us and 109s in game:
They are challenging and fun birds to fly. They have their advantages and disadvantages, but both like to get down and dirty and really have a good stall ratio.

P47, f4U, P40 in real life. The P47 was gorgeous at the Air and space museum in Ohio. I fell for her head over heals. The F4U is such an awesome plane and it's probably the plane I'd want to fly in the real war, although I'd rather be in the airforce over the navy. The P40 was a mean looking plane and really set the bar for American fighters. The P40 was the foundation for our fighters. I think it brought a lot of confidence to the pilots and too the American citizens.
