Favorite plane

[Eggster]

Well I'm not to far into the game but I just fell in love with the Slugger. This odd combo of the original weapon, armoured body, and gungine helped me finally kill my first battleship.
What are y'all's favorite planes?

For me, the BATMAN any day! It's a combo of the laser weapon, nuke body, and superboost engine. Battleships/blimps take some time to bring down, but it's awesome against pursuing fighters, aces, missiles and the like.

If you aren't far enough into the game for the nuke body, the Laser Knight works pretty well too (basically the same except you'll use the normal body).

Will have to give your Slugger a try sometime, sounds interesting. May not be my "style" of play but definitely worth a shot.

Funny enough it's definitely the Batman for me as well. I prefer the laser to all other weapons, and I'll take speed any day of the week. The nuke is less important now that I've finished all the missions but before I did it was a big help in completing several of the more annoying missions like "Kill a ____ at max combo". Now it's mostly just for fun and because it's what I'm used to.

I do like the Gungine part for its ability to keep your combo going even without actively firing and for doing extra damage to naval vessels while you continue to climb. But its slow speed combined with its "jumpy" method of propulsion make it something I use more for fun than for highscoring since once more than a single ace is on the field speed is preferable.

Armor body and water engine, combined with either the laser or cannon weapon (I keep flip-flopping on which I prefer). The bombardier body is also nice, but in general I like the extra health more than the extra damage output. I dive into the water so much that I have nearly no chance of matching my best scores without the water engine.

Well, my favorite is the Contact Beam. Combination of laser, meele body, and super boost. It's hard to survive since it's fragile as hell, but it's also just plain awesome to fly a self-propelled supersonic laser harpoon.

Smalls (Cannon, Armor, Superboost). Doing flips and tricks to aim my cannon, while the Superboost offsets the armor and the speed helps evade attacks better than original or hover.

The ??? If you can ever unlock it, when you do it is totally worth it.

??? Spoilers follow - Honestly I don't see how, it's got to be the biggest let-down of any "super secret unlockable" I've ever come across. For a game I really enjoyed I can't think of a bigger anticlimax than the U-Rauser.

Other than being epic the first time you watch it launch it doesn't have much going for it. It's hard to aim its weapons with any sort of accuracy and being so large it gets taken down rather easily, especially on SFMT where dodging with all that bulk is a pipe dream.

I agree it is pretty bad at actual use however I still love it when it goess flying off with some epic music :P

[Waltomatic]

Stormrauser (laser, bomb, superboost) or Strikerauser (cannon, bomb, superboost) for normal. Air Patrol (spread, bomb, superboost) for SFMT.

I'm impressed with y'alls handeling, I'm still getting use to the floatiness of the controls. Got another question here. What plane music is the best?

No one can answer which music is the best as everyone has different music tastes.

My favorite plane is The Situation (Original Weapon, Bomb, Superboost). May not be the plane I get consistent high scores in but it certainly is fun.

Laser. All combinations. All day. All days

[The SamoCamo]

Cannon + Armor + Gungine

[markpferg]

Laser + Bomb Dropper + Super Engine for destroying blimps
