F4U-1A, or maybe the F4U-4.

Why?  Because they're hand's down the best planes in the game, and they're all I fly. Besides, that's not terrible odds; there's got to be a reason there are 4 of them all together...  They probably rely on numbers over skill, and numbers are generally easier to deal with than skill is!


You really live life on the edge.  ;)

 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

What difference does it matter what plane you are in, fight until you die and figure out where you screwed up.

Not going to argue with you; I can't help it if the only WWII plane I have more than a passing interest in also happens to be the best...  

Do you "live life on the edge"?

Seriously???

It sounds like you have the wrong mentality to be a successful fighter pilot in AH!

The thought that I might lose never once crossed my mind; I expect to win every engagement!  Once in a while I'm not proven correct, I suppose, but I'm at least a little surprised in those instances.

Most likely I'd be in a Spit IX.  15K is just below the alt where the IX looses power for a few K so the fight should go OK.  Take it over 20K and I'd own them.

The last time I faced four K-4's (it was actually 6-7 K-4's) was in a scenario where I got caught alone in a Spit XIV at 25-30K.  No one got any kills but it was nip and tuck for over 5 minutes before I spotted an opportunity to egress safely and rendezvoused with my scenario squad mates.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

For me it's at the point where I decide to fight until I die :old:

I-16... and the fun begins  :x

But in reality...

Most likely I'm with a few fellows in P-51D Escort at SEA over Europe that have just dived from 20K-25K at low 109s... and let the hunt begin...  :x :x :x

If your high in the sky at 15,000 ft.. and you encounter, say four 109k4's.. which plane are you in and why.. I want to hear interesting answers.. don't tell me a story now i'm 33 years old for godsakes.. but a good answer.. and bear76 you are banned from posting here

If you would have asked what would you like to be in, I would answer 262 but if you asked which plane you _are_ in, that would be whatever at hand. Most likely a brewster.
