Whats the best plane for Dog fights?

[IceFire]

I really enjoyed some of the I-16 Type 5 versus G.50 and Cr.42 dogfights that I've jumped into more recently. Those are always a blast and the usual dogfight experience changes considerably.

Best is always determined by what the planeset/time period is and of course the pilots.

Agreed.

The early war scenarios can be at least as much fun

Lol, I tried to dogfight a normal AI who I put in an I16 and couldnt get on his tail for nothing, I had I think my Spitfire....those BI planes turn on a pinhead....they seem to just stop in mid air and flip around.

Yes they are acrobatic, its difficult to kill if they are aware of you. They are slow and not a threat if you have altitude and wants to run, but do not go head on! Sometimes they fire at very large distances and smoke your engine or gives pk.

I usually dogfight spits with stukas, at low speeds they are evil ehehehe. Problem is the lack of powerfull ammunition. Stuka gunner sucks too.
