For combat, I'd prefer the 109, for general flying, love the G-50. Hopefully after the new FM for it comes, I will love it even more.

With the correct FMs? The Spitfire for straight dogfighting. It was better at that than the 109 except for the combat bunt. Of course the 109s didn't dogfight very much and played to their strengths of high numbers, high energy tactics and more powerful guns. But if they tried to dogfight it was a different story.
As the FMs are at the moment? The Rotol Hurri and 109s are a trade off for me, partly of 'loyalty'. Hurri for maneouverability, 109 for climb, guns and simple engine management. I fly RAF so for me its the Hurricane but the 109 is probably the better choice as they are currently modelled or even when they are properly modelled (the Merlin negative G is still way too sensitive for reasonable maneouvres, leaving out the combat bunt). The Spitfire II would probably be most peoples favourite if they put 'loyalty' aside simply because its the only Spitfire modelled near correctly while the 109s aren't (if these forums are correct). The Spitfire Is power and speed are almost laughable although handling seems to be quite good. |
Why are bombers not in the list? Would you be so cind, to add those to the list? Some of us we like a good dogfight, but doing this all the time, can be qiut borring. I like a lot to do sorties in the JU88. others prefer sorties in HE111, Blenhaim, Ju87, Savoia-Marchetti S-79.
But as a fighter pilot 109. It handle great, have a good preformans speed and turns well. Good a decent firepower. Cheers |
Love the Hurricane. Always been used to the way it turns and can not settle for less. I sometimes find myself jealous of the 109 for it's speed, however!
Having said that, you can overlook that if you can have the patience to climb above the bomber formation and then smash down through it. |

#1 for having a poll for our opinion what shows which general design we prefer #2 there is an obvisously performance-gap between the 1a and MK II version, which seems to be only VIRTUAL. So voting for the better virtual model is not my goal. #3 They changed the 2speed pitch of DH 5-20 Hurricane to constant speed pitch during the battle. So why should I "allow" to vote for model/option which was "voted" for Out in RL |

Bombers are not on the list, because the goal of the topic ist not to know which AC we in general prefer in that Sim, it is just for to know which fightermodel we prefer for special fighter Missions/ tacticals/ fighter arming layouts etc. Talking about the "Lofte"-bombingsight, for ex. would be oT. But we can have that discussion aswell. Come on, give us a new thread! cheers |

#1 to handle it better by TIR, you can offcenter your head slightly to the left und push the center-key then, this brings the sight to the center of your POW, hope this helps! #2 The offcenter design was made to force german pilots to aime with their right (dominant) eye. The dominant eye is your "main" eye, while the other allows the stereoscopic viewing. I do archering a little bit, but "unfortunately" my dominating eye is the left as it is for many other people, too. Maybe dued to the Nazi-ideology that the "superior aryan" has allways the right eye as the dominating one. I don't know. Did they loose the battle dued this ;) ? After '45 they gave up the thing. #3 Comparing VR against RL: As we are unable to use this gunsight in the "right" way, because of the lack of real stereoscopic view, we are reaching the limits of a Sim! As we also have to face these facts concerning the physical labour in a dogfight, pain if you get a hit, and so on. 99% accurate flightmodelling should be feasible however;) |
