But, doesn't every fight you get in compromise your ability to win in some way or another?
Do you even fly koth?

The 163 has always been one of my favorite "closers", and the A-20/Boston fights are always fun, so I have to go with a -1.

Why? They're ALL fun in there own way. The more ungainly, the more fun, imo, since everyone has the same ride.
Jets are fun to try and keep under 6k.
163s -heh, noone says you GOTTA be ballztothewall all the time. Eliminate the best plane in the game?
Leave em IN!!! Theres a splinter riddled bench in the lobby for you ladies to sit and pout during the non-prop rounds. :neener:  :cheers:

I would be in favor of removing the 163 from the Koth plane set

The 163 mainly because if you engage in an actual dogfight in it you will waste too much fuel to win the round.  So not fighting and simply loitering with low fuel settings is entirely in your best interest, which is NOT in the spirit of koth.  All other planes including light bombers and the Me262 I'm okay with.

I say leave them all even the 163 using throttle control can get 20min. which is almost always enough for a rd at Koth.  Even in the middle of the fight if you have to throttle all the way up to get a shot, should just make you want to end the fight quickly where you can conserve again.

Not many people can "end the fight quickly" with taters against arguably the plane with the smallest cross section in the game.  Best strategy in Me163 is and always will be, never use throttle and just loiter, let the others fight and run out of fuel.  Not in the spirit of koth.
