Slight twist, my favorite fights is me in my 51D on the deck stall fighting another 51D, La7 or late-war 109s. 38s and F4Us have too match advantage on the deck stall fighting for my skills though I can work those others just fine.

The worst is when I am in one of those epic, on the deck stall fights and some bonehead comes through and picks, either side. As in picks me or picks the other guy.

I'm not a fan of buff hunting.

I go after German planes when I am in a 51 or spit.

I go for 51s and spits when I am in a German plane.

Russian planes I try to engage German 1st but I still seem to find myself really enjoying shooting 51s in my Yak.

The one that is a historical opponent to what I'm flying.

I'm in this column too.  If I'm in a PTO marked bird, it's gotta be Japanese birds.  If I'm in an ETO bird, I look for LW first.  On the rare occasions I up a 109E or G, I look for Allied birds.  Screenshots just look wrong if it's not the historical opponent you are shooting :)

As I'm in my 38G most of the time, I look for Zekes, Tonies, N1Ks and Ki-84s.

Hurricanes and Brewsters.

They'll up them when they see a Zeke coming in, believing it evens the odds. It doesn't.

I'll tell you a secret; You wanna scare a Zeke flyer, up a Spit 5.
"...and then we discovered why. Why this 'Cheech', who had fought with gods and demons, why he flew the Zeke. He was being kind, giving us a chance to run away."

109s because 90% of the time, the pilot has a clue. It's fun fighting someone who's good in your best plane.

I like shooting down spits too.. not because they're 'E Z Mode' but because I like trying to out maneuver them in my K4, helps me to learn to control my plane better.  :aok

Although the OP titled the thread "Your favorite plane to shoot down???"

he opens the thread with the below first question, so that is why I posted my previous reply as such

In a standard furball, do you chose your target based on plane, alt, proximity to you, what?

but to answer the question that is the title of this topic, I like shooting down the next  enemy plane that crosses  the nose of my plane, no matter what type it is

cheers

I don't necessarily have a favorite plane to shoot down, but it when it comes to it I love to shoot down 109s, especially the ones that complain when you kill them in your mustang....*cough* Luftwhiners *cough*
