whats the best tnb fighter with deicent top speed

[SEE]

I noticed Mirgervin used an LA5 on several games (Xbox) and usually got the highest Kills. D Masta C uses a Spit and usually out guns everyone (not seen them play each other tho') so Kosmo has it nailed in his reply. Either of these in the right hands is a killer. If you are flying on limited ammo games bear in mind that (in SIM game mode) the Spit MkIX/IXV's have the highest ammo rounds, the LA5 25% less and the LA7 the least (about 50% of the Spittys).

if your looking for lots of ammo go for the p47 it has loads

If you want a good Soviet TnB fighter, that isn't so big like the La-5FN and La-7 (They could be considered a Soviet-esque Spitfire even though they were smaller all around), I suggest the Yak-3! Why? Not only is it fashionably cool () but it's got all around speed, turning, and good armament. Twin Berezin UBS MGs and one BEAUTIFUL 20mm ShVAK Cannon.

no it is very agile 1 minuit but if you keep turning it goes in a streight line every half a turn

The yak isn't well represented in BOP. It's also not quite designed for the slow-speed endgame fights that the online is mostly about, or the magic g-suits the pilots wear so that only their vision is affected. At the speeds it's designed to fight at, it can turn as fast as the pilot can physically tolerate, and same for the opponent.

If a yak attacks a spit, and the spit manages to evade the first pass and slow down so it gains angles, the yak can just fly away. It just wouldn't get any points in BOP because someone else would kill the spit first.

Until they fix the scoring so every death is -5 points, the best performer in BOP battles will still be the i-153, which is sad.

That's a common misconception. Planes actually do NOT turn better when they're at 100% throttle. You actually make a wider turn, than you would if you cut it down to say 50% throttle. So maybe rather than turning at 100% throttle, cut it down to 50% or more if you like, and see how much better/shorter a turning circle you can make.

That's probably why you think the Yak don't turn well because you're flying at 100% throttle, when you should be cutting down the throttle going into the turn, and maxing it out as you extend out of the turn.
