Title: What’s your favorite AH matchup?
Post by: JOACH1M on December 28, 2017, 01:51:48 AM
My top three is:

p47d25 Vs. 190A5

109f4 Vs. Spit 5

P51D Vs. 190D9


All aircrafts which equally balance each other out in my opinion... it just takes who ever has better mastery of the aircraft in the situation.


Honorable mention:

Ki84 Vs spit16

F4u4 vs ki84/N1K

La-5 Vs 109G6.

Against a set of B17 you can actually set up a good position against 21k B17 set.
IF 999000 would fly a set of B26's I would never touch them before sitting in tower.
They are the uberbombers of AH, much faster and same bite as the B17 flying low.
The B26 is by far the 1most durable plane in AH history, now when they finally removed stalin-wood on the Yak3

I like any match up to be honest. I only dislike going against a yak3 or a 262. But than again i like crushing dweebs in wonderplanes. Other than that i like surprising pilots that fly better planes than me and i like to be surprised by pilots in weaker planes. Its part of the fun for me. I have only planes that i like to fly.

My top three is:

p47d25 Vs. 190A5

109f4 Vs. Spit 5

P51D Vs. 190D9


Those are all good (admitting that I have virtually no experience with the third). 

You missed what I think is AH's best historical match, the Spit I v. Emil.  I also like 202 v. P-38G and Tony v. P-40N.

Lately I have been meeting other B-26 drivers in the air, it’s always fun to chase a flight down in another flight. I’ve ran in to Lancs as well as B-17’s. I know it’s not super action packed but it has become a past time of mine in game.

P38J vs K4 or G14 is a fun fight IMHO.  Depending on E levels, the J can end up roping or catching the 109s hanging on their prop.  It can get interesting.

Some of the fights depend on altitude for me.

P47M vs TA152 at 30K is a good one.

Spit 14 Vs K4 at 20K is fun

LA5 vs G14

Too many to think of, your initial list is all good. It is best when they have a semi historical correctness to them.

Hurri 1 v Emil
Spit 5 v Friedrich
La 5/7 v Kurfurst

Also my 11 G2 against anything, even if I lose, the fight was worth it!

G2/G6 versus just about anything above 30ENY are great fights.  Love those two planes.

Those are very good matchups but that spit14 is in it's worst performing altitude around 20k.

Have to be higher or a bit lower.

Higher then that you start getting to the point the K4 is out performed by the Spit 14, lower the opposite. Might not be right at 20K but there is an alt where the Spit 14 and K4 are pretty close in performance

It's pretty slow and can't dive great which is a big disadvantage in the MA. It also doesn't have much Ord, if any. Similar to the 109G2.

The G2 vs spit9 is a great fight as well.

Wiley Coyote vs Road Runner. :bolt:

Road Runner is overpowered.  :furious

I agree with all of Joachim's choices.  For my absolute favorite, as much as I dislike early war guns, the Spit1 Hurri I/109E matchups are a ton of fun from either side IMO.  So is 109F/Spit5.

Honestly I like all air to air matchups though.

202 vs 202 makes for awesome fights.  Good maneuverability but weak guns means that mistakes are seldom fatal.  Had a duel long ago that lasted over 10 minutes: point-blank, on the deck knife fighting, with advantage constantly changing hands.  Far and away the best fight I ever had.

JOACH1M When I use to fly regularly in Aces High you could be sure to find me down turning with anything that wanted to turn on the deck. I won some and I lost some but I was quite good at moving a 51 at altitude or on the deck. It wasn't easy but more often than not those with aircraft they believed were superior make mistakes from being over confident. The aircraft by themselves don't guarantee kills it takes good pilots too. I learned the limits of the 51 and did quite well in it.

I've found P51D vs yak3 to be quite fun, it can drag out to a back and forth shifting edge fight ending up into the weeds giving victory to the one setting up the best angles pr turn while hanging on full flaps.
It is some of the most thrilling fights I've had.

Also P51D vs Dora or Ta152 can be super exciting, need to be more conservative on the flap usage on those fights.

And the 109F vs the Brewster can really give you a hands full experience.
