The IL-10 has always been my favorite little hellraiser. It's smaller than the IL-2, but still armed and armored. However, she proved herself the best little airplane ever to me in a CTA Realistic match.

I was coming in for a landing in the beginning of the match. The IL's are a rugged series, so I came in hard. A little too hard. I lose a wheel. I'm missing my right wheel. I still land on the runway, somehow, without getting shot down. I take over the field, and since I am all for preserving my plane for as long as possible, I try to take off.

She takes off.

She stayed in the air for a good while after that, fighting for her fallen comrades. Oh, that IL-10 is a darling.

So, I want to hear your stories about your amazing little feats in your favorite airplane. This game has given me a lot of good stories like that, so I want to hear yours.

my personal favorite is the Spitfire MkII
that eliptical wing beauty has saved my skin many time.
its not as heavly armed as jerry but turns on a six pence.

Hmm... I have to think about this for a bit, because there are several.

But, I like the Yak-1B for Capture the airfield. You can scream to a dive, cut the throttle and level off for a dramatic landing. I have had allot of good luck with it. That said, I also like the I-153 for it's nat like manuverability. I like my P-47 for quick dive bombing strikes, because it falls out of the sky like "Steel Rain", but sometimes can be a bear to pull out if you get too overzelious.

I hope that they come out with the Pacific Theater later so maybe I can fly my all time real favorite, the P-40. That, and the P-47 have always been my two favorite era aircraft.
