Ive gave the Spit MkIX and the BF 109 G4 a whirl in training and I kinda like the G4 for ease of flying compared to the spit. I dunno what it is but its not as hard to keep stable as the Spit. Plus the recoil didnt seem to bad from the V-cockpit view. Ive managed to find and shoot down a Boston on Sim 3 times now, so Im starting to get somewhere. I know for a fact though I would TOTALLY suck online or in the campaign unless I get a stick.
Going to now go through the Ruskie planes and see what ones I like.
*EDIT* Tried out the Yaks (arrrrwwmmmmmooooooouugh! lol) I quite like the 3, its pretty nifty. The recoil is managable, it turns pretty well with a bit of reduced elevators, and it looks not to shabby either. 9t felt about the same but was a wee bit weird, couldnt put my finger on it but it wasnt as nice to fly as the 3.

That would be because the Yak-9T was heavier, same engine and all, but it was heavier than the Yak-3 which I believe was the lightest Yak during WW2
