Favorite Hack

Hi All,

What is your favorite plane to just fly (not fight in?) Is it different to the one you like to fight in?

I like to fly the corsair to enjoy flying, but can't fight it well, so prefer soemting I can turn and burn in.

Cheers.

No problem--Achtung Spitfire !

Spitfire or Tempest! The B-25 is a gas to fly also, but the Boston is a faster plane, both are great fun.

Trogdor - a reference to Homestar Runner???

I had an Air Force guy in one of my old squadrons that wore a patch of strong bad on his shoulder.

Good Question!!1

I like flying any P51, but ABSOLUTLY HATE fighting in them.

Down low in scissors: any P40!!! Even the P38 is lovely in slow scissors. Both with compat flaps and the Me109. Trust me

Zoom climb tactics: F4F, F4U, P51, and again the P38 and Me 109, Spitfire

Turn Fights: Again the P38(to me it is a very good all round fighter. try a 400mph turn and open the airbrake, a few will turn with it!!!) Spitfire, Zero, all the biplanes

I hate flying any FW190, dont no why

This is limited views

Contrary to Edie I like flying Fw 190, especially D version ( A8 variant is a bit heavy) but for fighting I prefer LaGG-3 or La-5FN/7.

I like flying the Bf109, especially one of the F models. I also like it in combat, except against bombers.

I like the Tempest. Those four 20mm's can take care of anything. Or, for that matter, the Mossie. Kaboom!

Anyone who hasn't, I highly recommend getting these planes. Also you can get a sound modification that just sounds incredible. Great stuff!
