Back when I played I always found the Ta-152 to be fascinating. I was never that great in it but she flys well if done correctly. Other than that for turn fighting I loved the 51 or the 190 D9.

God I miss this game. I really should get back into it.

Anyways, my favorite plane to fly was/is the FM 2. I don't know how she is now, but back in the day I could take out Spitfires and anything I could bounce or sucker into a turn fight with me. I loved that she could take a ton of damage and still make it home. 7 kills, flop on the runway missing gear, wing and with oil and guts all over the windshield.

Good times!

Lockheed Beetle (proposed but never built). Designed as a long range loiter-defense plane that could deploy multiple PAC-3 missiles.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

FW-190 A8 !
The only snag with it is when you need to turn, then you need to land, and the ground crew re-angle the plane the direction you want to go  :old:
When I wanted to cheat (turn the plane), I flew the BF109 G6.


So that’s your secret,I usually just bail and up a new A8 as I found that’s the quickest way for me to turn the thing around! Or you turn it going straight up,once you run out of air speed it tends to change directions rather fast.    :devil

I knew what you were going so say before you said it.  :noid

Even though it's like fighting a bumblebee, still hats off to ya, ZE.  :salute I'd much rather deal with a Brewster that turns like a biplane than those STUPID alt-monkey pickers in 1945 planes. I love a good turnfight, I managed to down one of your Brewster brethren while flying a Seafire the other week, one of the best turnfights I've had in ages, plus the P-47 making passes on me made it extra spicy.  :banana:
