your favorite plane

La-7. Swift, maneuverable and steady with the shot.

Everyone is listing fighters of course but my favorite is the one the game's named after.

The best part of the game imho is using simulation mode and having to find and identify targets. The flak is weak but it's still the most fun part, having to look and figure out where the enemy is, and make sure it's not a friendly. Ground targets tend to be a bigger challenge cause there's so many of them.

The IL-2 is the easiest to set up an attack run with, except maybe ju-87, and it can make a decent self-defense against fighters if it has to. And you can aim with precision.

Favorite fighter the La's, though they're kind of unfair to use except as an answer to someone's bf109k. And the Focke-Wulf 190 is ok.

Don't like the p51's. A multirole plane that isn't all that great at either role.

Favorite bomber: don't know yet. Won't know until people actually start playing Strike mode so I can use one. With limited ammo that is, so you can't just fly around in an il-10 with enough ordnance to level a small town.

well i like the bf109 series all ways have from a child and building airfix models

but my fav plane has got to be for the axis me 262 i dont know why i just like it plus it was the one model i saw in the local model shop (dont seem to be many around anymore) that i had to save up for months to get it was huge 1/32 scale i think

and for the allies it deffo got to be the p38 lightning i just love the twin tail setup

shame no p38 in game
double shame the me262 is crap in the game

lol

in the real life my favorite are:
1-f6f hellcat
2-f4u corsair
3-n1k shinden
for the history the last dogfight of the ww2 was the dogfight of the august 15th 1945 between the f6f hellcat of us navy vf88 squadron and a6m zeros ,j2m3 jake of the japanese navy 302 kokutai
four americans pilots were killed and 9 japaneses planes were destroyed
the jap leader was yutaka morioka, he had a hook instead of his left hand because he lost his left hand during a fight against the b29 in january 1945

it would be the fw 190 if it had its real turn radius (its supposed to be able to out turn the bf-109 with its 23 second circle) but i guess since they screwed it up i would have to pick the good old bf-109 f4.

least favorite would have to be the spits not because theyre good or anything but because thats what youd expect every1 to use.
also i i hate how every1 says they should fix the p51 its not supposed to be a good turner it was built for speed and dive plus its supposed to be rather hard to fly
