o my goD! this stupid question again!
depend the battle and the year! some planes was very good in some times and at the pass of months, been low performance compared with others

for example:

1939 poland=Bf109E3 ; 1940 France and low countrys= Bf109E3; England1940=BF109E4; Englandfirst1941=Spitfire MKIIb; Barbarossa1941=Bf109F-2; WinterWAr1939=I-16; RussianFrontfirst1942=Bf109F4; RussianFrontend1942=FockeWulf190A ; RussianFrontend1943=La-5F ; restRussianFront=Yaks ; and keepgoing, etc etc etc

Whatever we consider the "best" or or own favorite, I'm just happy to see folks actually talking about aircraft again.



You know what my favorite is.

As soon as any one of us can claim to have flown every type (more or less) then we will qualify to make any claim we want, Eric Brown has, which makes him the foremost authority, I know....He's British.....inevitably claims of National bias will creep in.

Brown said the MkXIV was his favourite wich doesn't surprise me, I saw a video a while back about a US warbird pilot, very experienced on P-51's etc, who took his first flight in a Griffon spit, the look on his face after said it all, it was like hed just been bedded by the Swedish womens beach volleyball team

He said early 41, FW190 didn't enter theatre until the back end of 41. and it was the A1 first, A3 wasn't until 42. Fw190 was King on the western front until the spit Mk9 though.
