When I see someone in a Spit8, I know I am in for a fight. When I see a 16, I know I can just out patient him, and eventually he will make a mistake, he is not in the game for the same reasons I am, and that is what is going to get him killed.


not always, I fly it often now, I am interested in the fight against the hourde, I regularly put my self against as many as I can, and having one of the greatest planes is a way of evening the odds somewhat.

The best plane IMO is the one you have the most fun with. For me it's the B17 and B25, nothing is quite as fun as dog fighting in a B25H.

well, if we're gonna give our opinions, then to me it is the p38 hands down. i've been finding that i can do things in that plane that i could never do in other planes.

 besides that.....she's one of the most beautiful aircraft to ever grace the skies.  :aok

LVT scores vehicle and A20 as attacker or bomber...


And for scoring in attack mode, A20 isn't the "best" plane either...


gawd, I'm such a dweeb...  :lol

Best Planes for me:


A8Hatrick had a nice list of planes that work for him for many different types of  engagements or for their uses.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Ki-84. It's a great all a rounder with a nice gun package, bombs heavy enough to take out a couple of tanks, great fuel range, TOUGH enough to take a major beating and still fly home, Fast and can turn very well.

With proper throt control it can be used as a B&Z'er or to stall fight.

My favorites while in the game were

F6
Spit8
Ki-84 / 61
FM2.... I was very good with this one
P-51B
202 in the DA

Never did like the German planes much cept for the 109f and 190-A5

The best plane IMO is the one you have the most fun with.


 I fly (SPIT8)often now, I am interested in the fight against the hourde, I regularly put my self against as many as I can, and having one of the greatest planes is a way of evening the odds somewhat.
