your favorite plane

I cant understand the hatred of the allied planes he's mentioned to be honest.


IF they were so bad then maybe i would understand, but they were as you stated the most succesful allied fighters of the war......

If were donig real life/game favourites then -

In reality i love the hawker hurricane. Its a truly great aircraft and unfortunately over looked by its ugly sister the shitfire. It got any job it was tasked to do, done! it didnt let you down and it looked after you.

In the game.... i enjoy the hawker hurricane in free flight (training) and any game mode set to 1940. Occasionaly i'll fly her in a CTA or Siege game. But online i prefer to fly the spitfire Mk IX, though i have the XVI unlocked, the IX does the job better i find

Alright! I'm back. Tired though, but whatever.

Favorite in real life: Yak-3, Yak-1b, La-5FN, I-16, I-153, and every other Soviet plane. Obviously.

Favorite in game: Yak-3, La-5FN, I-16, Yak-1b, I-153

Disliked in real life: None, I like them all one way or another. Haha

Disliked in game: Yak-9T, P-51D-5, Me series, and probably all the jets.

Well Im actually American, but from much German blood. My grandma was the first to speak fluent English primarily. That being said, I do have other reasons.


The Stang and the Spit are the two most over-rated planes in history. The only thing really good about the Stang was its range....and speed.

FYI: There are allied planes I do like: P-38 (my grandpa was a picific vet and loved them.) P-40, P-39 (yes I said P-39) also the Mitchel, and I DO like the Hurricane...my fav. non American allied plane.

HOW COULD I FORGET THE F4U!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT PLANE......No BF-109 though!!

Plus my favorite pilot flew 109's ...i gotta love them

[AutomaticAddict]

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.

Can I say I totally agree with you?

Back IT, my favs are Bf-109 and Fw190 in both RL and game.
Yes, I'm having fun flying the 190 in training missions against spits. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm good at flying it , but I love its roll rate!!

Everyone is listing fighters of course but my favorite is the one the game's named after.

The best part of the game imho is using simulation mode and having to find and identify targets. The flak is weak but it's still the most fun part, having to look and figure out where the enemy is, and make sure it's not a friendly. Ground targets tend to be a bigger challenge cause there's so many of them.

The IL-2 is the easiest to set up an attack run with, except maybe ju-87, and it can make a decent self-defense against fighters if it has to. And you can aim with precision.

Favorite fighter the La's, though they're kind of unfair to use except as an answer to someone's bf109k. And the Focke-Wulf 190 is ok.

Don't like the p51's. A multirole plane that isn't all that great at either role.

Favorite bomber: don't know yet. Won't know until people actually start playing Strike mode so I can use one. With limited ammo that is, so you can't just fly around in an il-10 with enough ordnance to level a small town.

well i like the bf109 series all ways have from a child and building airfix models

but my fav plane has got to be for the axis me 262 i dont know why i just like it plus it was the one model i saw in the local model shop (dont seem to be many around anymore) that i had to save up for months to get it was huge 1/32 scale i think

and for the allies it deffo got to be the p38 lightning i just love the twin tail setup

shame no p38 in game
double shame the me262 is crap in the game

lol

[olife]

in the real life my favorite are:
1-f6f hellcat
2-f4u corsair
3-n1k shinden
for the history the last dogfight of the ww2 was the dogfight of the august 15th 1945 between the f6f hellcat of us navy vf88 squadron and a6m zeros ,j2m3 jake of the japanese navy 302 kokutai
four americans pilots were killed and 9 japaneses planes were destroyed
the jap leader was yutaka morioka, he had a hook instead of his left hand because he lost his left hand during a fight against the b29 in january 1945

[haitch40]

my fave plane on the game is spit ix or spit xvi if we can ever unclip the wings my fave plane in real life is the N1K Shiden or the J7W Shinden
