Default your favorite plane

hello
what is your favorite plane and why?

i start:my favorite is the i 153 because it is very good in tights turns and with rockets it can be dangerous even if it is too slow and not solid.i play in realistic and arcade

for details during world war 2 a pilots became aces with their i 153:
-cpt a.g batourine 71th iap 9 kills
-cpt k.v solovyov 71th iap 5 kills heroes of the soviet union the october 23th 1942 and killed in action the december 27th 1942

good luck and good hunting!!!

Without a doubt the LA7 is the most perfect plane of the game, never stalls. this is why i dont use it.

I used to fly the spitfire, and this was my favorite but matches seemed too easy when I use it.

I currently fly the Hurricane and the MC 202, and I have been kicking ass with them, the matches are more competitive now because the speed disadvantage of the hurricane and the slow reactions of the MC 202 make it harder on me but also more fun.

My list of top favorite
Spitfire - invincible when I fly it lol
hurricane - predator attractor, however im no easy prey on it
MC 202 - my new favorite toy, love the skin, hate guns, try me you will be surprised lol.
fw190 - the love of my life, I use it only against bombers or boom and Zoom tactics, or against the MC 202, p-51, bf109 k-4 and G6.
I-16 - good little plane but also out turns everything but the I-153. I use it sometimes in CTA to blow up those annoying bombers with my rockets.

least favorite
bf 109's - I loved the pc ones but these; no. maybe when they get cockpits.
La7 - come on, too perfect, make it overheat at least, great plane, but no skill needed to fly it.
I-153 - out turns everything wow, then when I use boom and zoom on them they quit.

Bf109, F-4 for maneuverability and G-6 for firepower.

For the allied planes I like the Hurricane. I HATE the spitfire.

In real life and in the game its the BF-109's and its not even a question. Mostly the K-4 because its very stable for having those cannons. Cant stand the F-4 because it cant punch through a wet paper bag.

Fav. Allied plane: P-38

Most hated planes in order of hatred:
(Both in real life and in game)
1. Mustang
2. Spitfire
3. La-7
4. Yak series

Liked (in order):
P-51-once it gets it's fix I will hopefully spend my majority of airtime in it
B-25-oh wait...that's not in the game
A20G-Part of the B-25 replacement plan
IL2M-Deadliest machine guns/cannons in the game IMO
Hurricane-great cockpit and fun to fly, but not great competition online
Po-2-For when I'm feeling like some classic bi plane action or just cruising in training mode

Disliked (in order):
Yak 9T-unbelievable recoil makes it a chore to take down most planes
Ju series planes-useless as bombers and as fighters
MC 202-Sitting duck, well in my hands at least
FW 190-also useless with it's current flight model

Favourite plane as of right now is the Bf-109 G-6. Deadly firepower.

My favorite ww2 planes in real life:
F4U-Corsair, B-17G Flying Fortress, P-47D Thunderbolt, P-51D Mustang.
In game:
Yak1B (very nice plane), B-17, P-47(even though poorly represented), IL2-M, and I-153. Hopefully the P-51 will be added here soon after the update.
