Whats the best plane for Dog fights?

the NEW one. New best plane . . .






It depends on you.

Annoyance factor, choose something like the chaika or the oscar. If you like doing turn n burn, zero, or spit/seafire

if you like boom n zoom p-47 or p-38, or the raiden

Gunnery wise, do like chipping away with .50 cals or you can land 30mm cannons and one hit wonder something with the p-39?


Also depends on the quirks of certain planes. For example, the Corsair is great but if you go below a certain speed, it handles funny and your gun accuracy drops . . .


I'm more of a cannon person, so most uS inventory I can hang and fly with but . . .

Why not start with the 109 like the ones here from the il2 demo days... No other plane has that "big brute plane hanging in the prop" feeling like the 109 with the slats out and the stall warning screaming...

After mastering the 109 - the Ki-84 or the La-7 are nice all round late war dog fighters like mentioned earlier here...

The best fighter I flew is the Tempest (altought not being a pure fighter).
Great speed,good handling,nice armament.I like the Ki-61 too.
