Whats the best plane for Dog fights?

[AndyJWest]

you can expect to come across these aircraft very regularly online

... on some servers. If all you are interested in is a furball dogfight, then pick your favourite uber-plane. I got bored with this sort of online experience quite quickly. I'd rather have a limited planeset, and more realistic goals. Flying the 'best plane' is less satisfying than being the 'best pilot', or at least doing the best you can.
