second to the hurricane
All im hearing is that the war hawk isnt as nice as the hurricane and therefore no where near as good as a Spitfire.

Well, Russia actually did use more Spitfires around Archangel etc. while guarding your supply ships to the Soviet Union; but you guys did fly your Hurricat's off some of the guarding ships to aid your supply convoys, but in combat the Spitfire was the main Soviet/British plane used on the Eastern Front. Sorry Foz, the Hurricane just didn't have what it took. Now the Yak-3 had what it took twice over.

Long answer: my favorite plane depends on what I'm using it for.

killing bombers: 109k4 (others too slow)

being bombers: il-2 or stuka

escorting bombers: la7

pitched furball: 109g6. No need for great turns, just kills targets quick.

1 on 1 dogfight: la5

running dogfight: la7

Short answer: I hadn't used the la5 for a while, used one again today, reminded me how much I love it's 3-d agility. There's nothing like making 2 online opponents overshoot at once.

I would also use the yak-3 in BOP but there's this little problem where all the planes have this amazing, infallible RADAR so sneaking around with a little plane doesn't do much good.

What if they erased the enemy dots from the map screen online

I think that settles it then.

I guess you are a fan of the 30mm "God Cannon" . lol

Really? Me262 too slow??? If I see someone (or a squirrel) choosing to fly the B-17 in a dogfight , I go straight for my 262. B-17 doesn't have a chance against its 4 cannons. I ignore the fighters and just pwn the big Bomber. Its a lot of fun and usually wins me the match too

For prop only , I think the Fw190 are better than the 109K for killing bombers, thanks to its ability to dive very fast.
