Which collector planes are worth having?

[Jer9-Carver]

Now that the collector planes are on sale, which ones are worth to get/fun to fly?

[1CGS - Jason]

Short answer? All of them! It depends what you like. If you like a good dogfighter try the Yak-1b or the La-5FN or the G-6. But it also depends on what titles you own and what kinds of missions you like to fly and what time period? BOS, BOM or BOK? Thanks for your interest.

As Jason said ^^^, take his advice if you are mostly SP guy.
If you are mostly MP guy i would pick yak1b, 190a3, spit.mk.Vb, la5fn or 109g6 (by this order).
I would suggest the same for SP but be careful to pick plane that fits into your game title bos/bom/bok.

Any chance for missing scripted campaigns on steam? :( I know you can get them on website and it will work. Still would be nice to own them here. DLC that require DLC should not be a problem on steam. DCS does it, their ww2 campaigns require player to buy specific plane, ww2 normandy map and ww2 asset pack. Just a little warning info box on store page and should be fine. Hoping they will come here one day :)

you cant buy DLC from DCS webpage and play on Steam ....

you have to play on their server with it , or buy DCS from Steam DCS -dlc to play on Steam ..... they say ....on their webpage ... I dunno why U cant I think it sounds stupid kinda :D

Im confused as to what you mean. If one has BoS on steam they can buy/play any DLC bought direct from the developers.

As to "worth having", it depends on what you personally like.

They're not all "pay2win" rather aircraft that have a unique place in history etc.

I like the j52 for example.

Thank you for all the answers so far! :D

I do tend to fly more in MP than that I do in SP. I own BoS, BoK and the Spitfire Mk Vb. I'm heavily considering buying the g6 now though, since it appeared on both your and Jason's list. I'm a fan of the G series planes and I want to expand a bit more on my collection for the axis side. :) Definitely solid advice from both of you!

Yeah, true. I didn't mean that there are planes better than others, but more in what collector planes some people enjoy the most etc. Every plane seems to have its own strengths and flaws and it's up to the pilot's experience to excel. Everytime I try out a new plane it feels like i'm playing an entire new game, haha. Seeing what other people's favourite collector planes are helps me in deciding what planes I should get next :3 Maybe they help shed a light on a plane that I hadn't considered yet.

have a close look at the U 2VS and the Ju52. Odd but fun.

The P40 is a personal favourite as one really *has* to manage the engine. Almost every other plane afterwards seems *easy* to fly.

The Mc202 always feels like flying a rebel space ship to me because of its unique cockpit.
Might be worth taking a peek at the Hs 129 B-2 but I cant comment on it as I rarely fly LW combat aircraft.

DCS WEBSITE :

DCS: F-16C Viper
Pre-purchase
Requires DCS World version 2.5 or above!

The F-16C is a single seat, single engine multirole fighter that was developed in the 1970s. More than 4,500 units were manufactured and are operated today by 26 countries where the aircraft performs numerous missions that include air superiority, close air support, precision bombing, air defense suppression, reconnaissance and more. Few other aircraft can match its versatility, maneuverability, firepower, and huge production numbers.

Nicknamed the Viper by its pilots, the F-16 was designed with a reclined seating position for high G tolerance and a single-piece bubble canopy for exceptional visibility and comfort. Its lightweight and powerful F-110-GE-129 engines provide a greater than 1:1 thrust ratio.

Learn to read. I said you can buy dlc that requires other dlc to run. To play 109 campaign you must buy map, asset pack and plane. So it's not a problem on steam to sell dlc if that dlc requires other dlc. Because il2 does not sell on steam scripted campaigns that requires other maps than stalingrad. While DCS sells everything without a problem.
