your favorite plane

[dazz1971]

well i like the bf109 series all ways have from a child and building airfix models

but my fav plane has got to be for the axis me 262 i dont know why i just like it plus it was the one model i saw in the local model shop (dont seem to be many around anymore) that i had to save up for months to get it was huge 1/32 scale i think

and for the allies it deffo got to be the p38 lightning i just love the twin tail setup

shame no p38 in game
double shame the me262 is crap in the game

lol

in the real life my favorite are:
1-f6f hellcat
2-f4u corsair
3-n1k shinden
for the history the last dogfight of the ww2 was the dogfight of the august 15th 1945 between the f6f hellcat of us navy vf88 squadron and a6m zeros ,j2m3 jake of the japanese navy 302 kokutai
four americans pilots were killed and 9 japaneses planes were destroyed
the jap leader was yutaka morioka, he had a hook instead of his left hand because he lost his left hand during a fight against the b29 in january 1945

The spit Mk XIV in the game has what was known as the LF for Low Flight wing. The tips were cut off and squared off to offer a better turning radius at low altitude. At least that's what it looks like in the pics I've seen, haven't unlocked it yet myself.

Looks good in game.

Desert camo ruins it, but it looks good. Clipped wings and teardrop canopy not wuite as sexy as the hurricane though lol.


As nice as it is, it doesnt perform as well in a turn compared to the IX.
