Poll: 109 G6/K4, LA5/7, SpitIX, Hurricaine

[David603]

Not that I've been playing BoP much recently, but when I do play it I fly the K4 and G2 models of the Bf109, and also the Spitfire IX. Never, ever get killed in the K4, the only thing that can catch it apart from the jets is another K4 that is higher and faster, and I take good care to avoid that situation. Fantastic firepower, though given the option I would fly without the 2x20mm gunpods, and top of the class speed, acceleration and climb.

The G2 is a rare plane to see, but I like flying it because it is quick and also a capable dogfighter. Weak armament, but very easy to shoot accurately, and I can often get kills against fighters with just the 2 MGs if limited ammo is on and I run out of cannon ammo, so I won't complain about that.

The Spitfire IX is the most popular fighter used online, but that isn't a bad thing, it is a good all-rounder and a plane that can be flown with a reasonable amount of success by a beginner and yet in the hands of a skilled pilot it is one of the best dogfighters in the game, which means you never know what you are up against when you see one of these.

I agree that your choice may be dependant on the competition. BUT, everybody has a favorite mount, one that they do well with on a consistent basis. Mine is the LA5 or 7 so I chose the 5. My best game ever has been in a G-6, but if I don't want to die in a DEATH match against the best, it has to be a LA or K4 to have a hope of survival and MAYBE get a kill or 2. That's just me though. It sounds to me Kozzm0, you lean towards the LAs. Come on buddy, you can do it! Just push that button! It's easy. Do you really believe a Yak should be on this list? Just because of Mcgirvin? With his skill, he could kill us all in a 190! Come on now, push that LA button! You know its the right one!!

By the way, the results of my poll just might result in a deathmatch. Very short list of rules. Nothing big except for the losers. Just a 2 hour or so event to see who will put their balls in a DEATH match. I'll figure the heats after the poll after I determine who I can get in it.

DEATH meaning DEATH! No PS3 for a week. Period. No exceptions. Can't even turn it on. Uhhhh, maybe a week is too exreme, we'll see.

We will have something like a British winner, a German winner, and a Russian winner. Planes I mean. They will be in the deathmatch. Or all six planes piloted by the top scoring aces in the heats, if of course they will put their balls on the line.

OK. No PS3 too extreme. Got it. Wookie, you've got a rep as a HOT arcade pilot. I here this from the boys. I don't have the time for an arcade and sim deathmatch. Same with you Shadowcorp. Are you willing to go sim? Are yor friends?

i use the spit ix

i like the la7 and la5 more though but those guns are so inacurate i just cant use them its like sniping a moving target if you get a solid shot and it only needs one solid shot and its goodnight but getting that solid hit is the problem

I've recently discovered the Yak-3 and I likey!

That's four guys picking the YAk. The LA 7 has one vote. Are you saying the Yak is better than the LA7 in a deathmatch? Even knowing the LA7 is more manuverable? Maybe I should replace the LA7 with you YAK guys and let you prove it!
