Your favourite ride - and why?

[Threeup]

There is nothing more feared than the Spit XVI which is why it's my favourite ride.

Although it's probably the hardest plane to master and certainly the most undermodelled in game the effort to work with it matches the rewards.

You can always choose what everyone sees as the "easy rides" or "trainer aircraft" in Aces High like the 109 series or 190 series or what everyone sees as the "baby planes" which are the P38 series, but if you have the mettle and the determination the Spitfires are rewarding.

They're not for everyone, and be prepared for a lot of comments like "you're flying a Spit XVI, you must be married to a supermodel" and also most opponents just bailing before the fight and PMing you with "<S>, I knew I couldn't kill you, you're in a Spit XVI", but one learns to cope.

The P-38, the sound both as they do a low flyby and inside as well.  They are not the best at anything but good at everything.

I suggest that Threeup wins the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt prize.

Congratulations, sir, well done!

spitty16s are tough to fly you gotta be a master to even turn them. I like my easy mode 38

[Lab Rat 3947]

P38J for general fun
P38L for JABO
P38G when the base is being vulched.

LMAO That is so untrue...LOL!!! SpitXVI is like the easiest thing to fly.

[HighTone]

Mine would be the A6M3-32. Love the roll and climb rate. Second would be the Ki-61 followed by anything else with a meatball on it 

[RufusLeaking]

There are too many fine planes to chose from that I could name a single favourite.

Only if it were just about beauty, there would be only one choice: The Ta-152H spreads its wings like an angle 

an angle huh..... well it is your second, or is it your 3rd language? 

Does British English still count for a language? 

On topic, I agree with Lusche/Snailman on the difficulty of the selection. It is a rock-paper-scissors dilemma.

1. Yak 9U all around. Fast, small, excellent visibility, good acceleration.
2. Ki-43 for slow, low turn fights.
3. FW 190A-8 for bomber killing; though, the Me 410 with extra 20mms is a strong second.
4. Tu-2S for bomb**** runs.
5. B-26 formation for bombing. Copious tail gun ammo.
6. Cruiser guns for cv killing.
7. M3 with supplies, because I am gv challenged.
8. P-40C for the AVG skin.

People who don't go through the hangar for a different ride once in a while are missing out on a lot of what Aces High has to offer.

[TonyJoey]

The 51 just has the perfect combination of characteristics, in my opinion; extremely high speed, unparalleled visibility, solid and accurate gun package, very large fuel supply, and high speed flaps that can catch even some of the best turners in the game off guard when you cut inside of them.

Sarcasm and Irony - make them your friends and you'll never left wanting.

  Your Mom....and my D-40!!!!! 

[A8TOOL]

 

Agree with INK on Ki...one of my favorites.

Another would be F6. It don't climb well, it's not very fast, you can't see very well out the rear, it don't turn as well as some planes, it's been nutered by HT and knowing that, every enemy that see's you wants to kill you 1st. There are few that fly them well.

Love the FM2 too.

[Scotch]

k4.  Speed to run people down and the KO power to finish them off.
c202.  Sweet performing little plane. Really fun to fight outnumbered in.
51d. such a stable platform, can "turn" well enough to produce shots to win a fight against true turn fighters.
