Which fighter do you like most? Hurri, Spit, 109?
 

Hi there,
what is your favorite fighter in dogfihting and/or bomberattacking? Of course, every model get his own skills and weak points (speed, stability/maneouverability, arming etc.) If there would be one which is top in all aspects, we would only use that bird, wouldn't we? Or are there other aspects, which are also important for your choice? Let us know!

My personal favorite is the 109, powerfull & strongly armed, good cockpit design, especially some intruments like compass (wtf in english models), but then, once jumped into a Rotol-Hurricane, i fall in love with it. I like it's manoeuvrability, that allows you just to turn out an enemy 109 so simple (beware of his wingman!). I love also the adjustable recticle and it' s punch of the 8 close together standing Brownings which a Spit has not.
She is the diva, for sure, but I am missing something...

So, now it is up to you, tell us your opinion!

P.S. Don't forget to talk about Bf110 and G50!

109.

good speed, acceleration, turning, and over all, beautiful.

im not talking abou COD exclusivity.

Well first of all the BF-109, any variant. For the same reasons,
I like it's good instrument layout and excellent canopy view,
the best one being the squared canopy fitted to the E4 in CoD.
And of course the great combo of speed and firepower.

I also like flying the Hurricane,
but I don't really like the cockpit layout and has worse all-round view because of all the bars of the canopy,
in particular the bar which blocks direct 3'o'clock and 9'o'clock spotting.
I do not have Track-IR so for me it's a big deal :( .
Nevertheless, I really like flying it because it's so different then flying the BF109 into combat, and now I know it's weaknesses and strengths.

Interesting......
there is someone out there who apriecates the good ol'hurrie and the famous 109 and hasn't loose any word to the Spit. What is your opinion about her?
It is so difficult to bring her down with it's capacity to make very advanced barrelrolls, but flying her and to get a kill is so difficult in combination with the engine stuttering because they were only with a carburettor. (Which is the major disadvantage thing of all Merlin equipped british AC)

The bf 109 e4

There's a video out there somewhere of a pilot doing a downward, inverted loop in the spitfire. By this I mean starting level and pushing the nose forward, pushing negative G's the entire way, and then coming up around again from the bottom.

In the spitfire.

The carburettor "issues" really don't affect it very much at all.

Is that with a miss shellings orifice fitted or not? BoB pilots seem to think it was a big deal.


I started out as a Hurricane pilot :) but I was brought over to the darkside by a good pilot who showed me some of the ropes. From then on its been 109 all the way. I dont even like the FW190 that much. I like the firepower and robustness of the 110 and the odd dabble in a STUKA.

As for spits, what about them? I dont think its worthing talking to much about flight models till we get the tweeked ones, then the arguements really will fly ;)

Hi CptDoggles,
It is affecting me, while I am trying to aim at a 109 which is diving and rolling under my nose. When engine stutters
by following him I loose my speed when I can't take care about to avoid negative Gforces.

My favorite is the 109, mostly because it has that 100% MAN look that is characteristic to so many German mechanical things (Those mercedes's from the 80s, all things BMW, MP-40, luger, all panzers, etc.)

But performance-wise, I think the most notable advantage it gives in this game is its armament. Those 20mm with minengeschoss kill so fast, while in spitfire, sometimes I spend all of my ammo to down one bomber.

I have no idea, but the engine sputters the whole time, so I doubt it. The problem demonstrated by that video was that the atrocious flight model in this game doesn't kill the horsepower when the engine floods.

Agree. Currently the Spit 1a underperforms by a significant amount and the Spit 2a overperforms by an equally significant amount so until they fix the flight models it's really not worth discussing them.

The Hurri on the other hand is a good opponent for the 109E, and in good hands is a very real threat.
