What characteristics you value the most in a plane ? Is it turn rate, speed, climb, range, high speed control authority or roll rate ?
Please put only 5 most important characteristics you’d like to see in a plane. Then name the plane which, in your opinion, has most of those charcteristics.
Thanks for your input
Here’s my opinion:
1. Dive
2. Acceleration
3. Deck speed
4. Guns
5. Durability
As you probably guessed, the plane is Fw 190D-9.
-
1) Good high speed handling
2) Good gun platform
3) Lots of ammo/ordnance
4) Fast
5) Tough
You guessed it, P-47D.
-
Hm. I could've sworn Hristo was asking for a P-47. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hehe, DMF, close but not right. Dora has way better acceleration and probably tad faster on the deck (not sure).
Besides, Jug has wrong markings (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
1. Guns
2. Fairly good handling
3. Roll rate
4. Speed on the deck
5. Lots o' ordinance

Oh, how interesting as Hristo put DIVE in first place (alt monkeys always do...) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Anyway my input could be something like this:
1. Finnish swastikas (109G-2)
2. Low speed handling (109F-4)
3. Speed (109G-2)
4. Over all handling (109G-2)
5. Finnish swastikas (109G-2)...

1-Hi Speed, so you can dictate the RoEs
2-Good Hispeed handling
3-Good E retention
4-Decent climbrate
5-Snapshot punch
So, you guessed it, 190D9!!!!!
For now I have to stick with runstang, that lacks #5 but has excellent #s 1,2,3 and 4.

And our hatred is so precious not death or defeat can break it.
God willing, we shall this day meet that old enemy
Who has given us so many a good beating.
Thank God we have a cause worth Fighting for,
And a cause worth losing and a good song to sing."

Predictable enough here
1 Manuverability
2 More Manuverability! (OK OK, call this one roll rate)
3 speed (under 10k is fine)
4 Good guns (min 2 20mm)
5 Ammo
Right now it's the spit,cough,hack,gag,kerFphIoeRoiE.
Soon I hope for the Zero's & other IJN AC.
Ohh for all you guys above.
Speed (won't save you if I'm saddled up d2 or have alt to dive)
Tough (may eat up more of my ammo,but leaves you slow for all the weight your carrying.)
Dive (is cool, fun to watch em lawndart, but not required here.)
High Speed Handleing (Sorry I'd rather have knife edge stall handleing)
Guns (don't work unless you can get them on me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Ammo (yep, you;ll need lots!)
