As long as you're keeping it to low tiers,

the Hurricane and Hurricane II are both great planes for their tiers (very low), they have mediocre flying charactaristics but their armament is very impressive. 8 and 12 .30mm machineguns respectively will take down anything that ends up on the wrong side of your plane in mere seconds.

Then there are the Spitfire I and the Spitfire IIb a few tiers above, which are absolutely amazing. I honestly can't say how much speed they lose while turning, but they outturn almost everything they encounter and they easily finish off enemies with their impressive armament. The mk1 has 8 machine guns that spray so much bullets you'll always hit the pilot eventually, and the mk2 has 20mm cannons that tear everything on that tier to pieces. And you'll always be able to use the armament, because almost nothing can shake a Spitfire off its tail.

This tier (cap at 8 or something) even comes with the Beaufighter MkX (I think, anyways it's the second one in the tree) as a bonus which is one of the best heavy fighters of its tier. 4x20mm cannon and 6x .50cal blows everything in half with a few short bursts, and it even comes with rockets too.


IMO, it's much more fun to stay at this tier level than to advance to tier 10-18 where the game becomes more of a oneshot-fest.

I've been sticking to this tier level for quite some time now and it never gets boring.
Yes, I had to, OCD kicked in :D

Yeah, IMO Up to tier 10 it's pretty great, beyond that you get jets and other shite that completely ruins the fun ;/

.50's are Okay

Its their survivability that sucks

US planes like P47 were fucking flying bunkers
ingame they die with a few 20mm's

I personaly have found tier 8+ to be

not fun anymore

Thanks, I couldn't check to be sure. Never bothered to learn the specs and armament by head. I'm happy as long as it flies and shoots.  ;D

I do just fine with my fully upgraded P47. Very fast, very nice climb rate, I can dive, bomb. Plus I have TONS of ammo, I play HC from time to time, and the player with the most ammo always wins. The BF 109 is very powerful and fast, with good climb rate, and while their cannons are very powerful...they usually are the first ones that have to go back to recharge, and then they are easy targets.

P47 is just awesome. you can keep shooting and shooting without having to reload. It has a very good fuselage too. It's essentially a flying tank . love it

- Don´t turn ever. No plane bleeds this fast.
- Climb, boom and zoom, climb again
- While it´s supposed to climb, it doesn´t climb very well until fully upgraded and then it´s only decent.
- Excellent roll rate - comes in handy when someone is behind you as you can just dance around
- Excellent firepower with upgrades. Usually you will onehit targets with a burst.

If it tells you anything, I killed 2x 190s, an A-5 and an A-5/U2 with my BTD in HB because the chucklefucks decided to turn fight me.



I suck in HB and average 0 air kills per game if that tells you anything.

My best plane at the moment is the G10...monstrous firepower, triple 30mm, a couple of rounds is enough to obliterate B24 Liberator bombers. Extremely fast and agile.
