Your favorite WW2 plane?

What is the best WW2 fighter in your opinion, and why?

[Gunfreak]

Best and favourite are two very different things.
The "best" is probably the 109k4, it's fast, can climb like a mother fornicator, and can outturn the P51 and P47. It's main downside is its weapons if you don't hit with the 60 rounds of 30mm, you'll be stuck with just 2 13mm and that's not ideal. Also can only carry 1 bomb. And hard to take off with.

P51, is a nice jack of all trades plane. Good speed, good climb okish turn, 6 .50 cals does good damage and has good range. Can carry decent amount of bombs and even rockets. Not best at anything (except staying in the air for 8 hours without landing for fuel) but decent at everything.

Spitfire can be a bit tricky to get in the air. But once you've gotten her up. She stays there. Will outturn all the German planes, no problem. Main down side little ammo. 10 seconds of 20mm and about 15 seconds of weak .303. It can carry up to 3 bombs, but they'll all drop st the same time, so you only get one attack with bombs. You'll also need to learn to fire blind as the nose will usually block the enemy you're shooting at.

I am not great with warbirds, but my particular favourites are the Mosquito and P-47. Nice and stable taxi and take off. I tend to focus on ground attack so they are my go to birds.

Honestly, they are all very capable and good looking aside from a few issues I have with the 190A8 and the Mossie.

To me the butcher bird seems to have a very odd damage model. Now that is not a problem if you are flying it, you'll be able to take obscene amounts of damage and still limp along.
She was a heavily armoured aircraft, no doubt. But it still feels way off to me.

The Mossie also seems to be a little bit too responsive, very twitchy. She also has an annoying bug/feature of a long delay between trigger press to guns firing. It's a shame because the mossie is one of my favourite aircraft of all time.


The mustang is fantastic. Foolproof, easy mode handling, firepower, endurance and speed.

My favourite is probably the K4. Accuracy is not one of my problems so the hub cannon is great. No difficulty at with landing an 8 kill sortie. Those 30mm hit hard, only require 1 or 2 hits per kill.
