There is much more fun in flying powerful (but not very maneuverable) planes, and shooting down enemy planes with them. The feeling of achievement is bigger and more rewarding. The best is keep high with them. FW is a good example. Is fast in a dive but still can roll fantasticaly at speeds of 700 km/h. You can dive and turn without loosing much of your energy. With planes like p47 you can do two things , dive and get 800km/h, then get some distance from your persuiter, and then climb abruptly for a hammerhead or an immelman. Another option is keep 5000 meters and if anything bothers you climb to 8000, is there when the plane show it's true potencial, saddly there is no much combat at that high unless you create a custom mission with bombers.

In short, this planes: fw, p51, p47, corsair, wildcat, etc are boom and zoom planes. RDDD definitely fly only dogfight servers, but if you like realism and not arcade this are the planes of choice of the best and more experimented online flyers, and probably fw a9, dora and TA the most popular of all. They are all tricky and require learning a lot of skills and a lot of frustration in all the learning process. It is very frustrating spend 15 minutes at altitude looking for contacts and been chase endesly for an overmodeled LA7, Spitfire 25LB, or yak3p (the planes of choice of the opposite type of players with the zero, but this one will is too slow), but honestly the boom and zoom planes are the last step in your learning process. Once mastered you will never go back.

Remember with this planes "altitude (energy) is live" was never more true.
