My favorite plane has to be the F4U-1(BirdCage)



It looks awesome, and its awful power loading means its not nearly as dweeby as the other Hogs. for 25-ENY it has a good gun-package, Excellent maneuverability, good top speed, Great dive, it Can take a few hits. It's really just one of the best planes for perk farming.

My number 2 has to be the P40C



It would certainly be my main ride in the Early and Mid War arena if anyone flew in those. It's gun-package is actually pretty good and makes relatively quick work of most of the smaller fighter. It handles very nicely from 200-350 mphs, it rolls well, and it can take a hit. I love the flying tiger skin and its one of the most satisfying things when you drop someone while flying a P40C. It teaches good SA Because it really doesn't do anything better than the Late War rides, which forces you to fly smart if you want to have any level of success.

Number 3 is a tough one, I'm torn between

The TA152



The P47N



Its always been a wet dream of mine to have some sort of scenario where these two high altitude titans face off. I fly them the same way usually, although I tend to be a little more aggressive in the P47. Both are great at buff hunting and Capping/fighter sweeping. When I want to fly a Late War plane, these are usually my go-to's.

My Favorite plane is the KI84. She is beautiful and just flies how i want a plane to fly. My second choice would be the F4u-1.

ok so you aint half bad :D

same as Rud I very much enjoy the Ki84

why you ask...

well it is a fighting mans plane.....it is tough as nails, it can TnB with the best of them, climbs like a rapped ape....the one thing it lacks is High speed running away ability...which is not what a fighting man does....

P38 hands down
good at everything,  and draws in plenty of red guys.

warming up for the upcoming scenario in the spit9 also,  that is one nasty ride,  in a good way.

Ive been drawn to the KI-84 for awhiles now. I dont play much anymore but that fighter gives me confidence. Other then that its the Yaks tho I really should give the LA-5 more time.

Just for info: any plane that can be affected by ENY is a noob ride.  :D

My first love is the 38,always will be


That said, my favorite ride is the KI-61. A bird I feel comfortable taking on anything in.

Yak3 - Turns just enough to get shots off on the stall fighters, builds E almost instantaneously, and can run down the careless pony et al with only a small E advantage.

TBM - It has a bomb sight, rockets, and two forward firing 50s with which to vulch.
