your favorite plane

[mattmanB182]

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

[FOZ_1983]

why the hatred though?

[PapaBoon]

In the real world:

Vought F4U Corsair
P38 Lighting
P-51 Mustang (love the sound of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine)

In the game:
Spitfire
La-7
Bf-109

So we are just talking about the most succesfull allied planes here . copy that

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

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......

[FOZ_1983]

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

[Soviet Ace]

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

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!!
