Best plane for Dog Fights?

[cyclone70]

Yak-3 for me... I was liking the Spit IX best but it's a pig to keep in the air if shot in the wings. I like Yak-3 cos it's ultra nimble and stable. The turning circle rocks. You can slam the rudder in all directions and you won't go into a spin. It doesn't turn into a flying brick once the wings are hit like the Spit. No pesky recoil to put you off aim. I managed to chalk up 8 kills in a match last night, which is better than I've done in the Spit.

* disclaimer - I still get wasted by anything Morgoth and Seraph fly though, so take the above with a pince of salt

when I start playing everybody was on 109's then a few days later it was russians VS russians on LA5-7 (thanks to Soviet Ace). and now I don't know why everybody seems to prefer the Spit mkXVI. (Which I'm still waiting to unblock because I'm more on that forum discussing the game due to work than actually playing the game lol.)

Next week will be Milan fashion's week. with MC202 for sure

That's crasy !!! or Am I crasy ?

I'm still waiting for the I-153/Po-2 Strike hype... that would be epic .

The La-7 is amazing. It's just tricky to actually shoot someone with it. You also don't have to set the sens. too much down, about 2-3 notches.

Remember to give full sensitivity to the LA5 (you will break its chains and release the Tiger).

Beleive me you will kick so many ass with that plane, that i feel indecent to speak more about it

Classic, you've brightened up my afternoon with that comment. I am going to release the tiger tonight!

I agree, someone needs to set up a Biplane match sometime.
