Not that I've been playing BoP much recently, but when I do play it I fly the K4 and G2 models of the Bf109, and also the Spitfire IX. Never, ever get killed in the K4, the only thing that can catch it apart from the jets is another K4 that is higher and faster, and I take good care to avoid that situation. Fantastic firepower, though given the option I would fly without the 2x20mm gunpods, and top of the class speed, acceleration and climb.
The G2 is a rare plane to see, but I like flying it because it is quick and also a capable dogfighter. Weak armament, but very easy to shoot accurately, and I can often get kills against fighters with just the 2 MGs if limited ammo is on and I run out of cannon ammo, so I won't complain about that.
The Spitfire IX is the most popular fighter used online, but that isn't a bad thing, it is a good all-rounder and a plane that can be flown with a reasonable amount of success by a beginner and yet in the hands of a skilled pilot it is one of the best dogfighters in the game, which means you never know what you are up against when you see one of these.
