Yeah, especially the mkII, but Typhoon mkIa is not that good since it doesn't turn at all.

I'm having trouble with my Spitfire mkVb in HB. I always get my ass handed to me by 109s, 190s and even ME-410s.. Any advice?

It stinks horrible

ME109 is alright after all

But Soviet fighter aircraft, Yak's and La's are pretty OP.....

I pour hundreds of .50CAL's and 20mm's in and they keep on flying

109 E-3 isn't that good in Historical, I prefer the F-4 because all the armament is in the nose and the cannon has more ammo and doesn't burn through it so fast.

I blasted 2 Yak-9Ts and a Yak-1 in HB before running out of cannon rounds AND fuel. Refueled and rearmed, took off and got head to head with an La-7. We both lost.

So you guys prefer Historical battles to the arcade mode?
He was not wrong. Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics.

Well that one battle where I got three planes, and died, I still got 18k lions. So I'd say Historical Battles is where the money's at. And it's more realistic, so you don't get those pseudo-flight models of arcade that usually make you rage over something that's not supposed to happen.

I prefer Historical Battles but sometimes spending ten minutes to reach a target only to be shot down is counterproductive, and you need to make up for the money you lose on repairing and rearming. I stay away from Full Real Battles, if I could use my PS3 controller like I did with IL2-Sturmovik: Birds of Prey then I could play them but with a keyboard/mouse it becomes a pain in the ass.

Arcade all the way! I hate flying and climbing for 10 minutes and ending up being one-shot all for nothing. A big reward multiplier doesn´t help if you have to have close to zero points.

I actually make more money and XP in arcade battles. It´s fast paced combat a lot of maneuvers and action going on. Historic battles are more something I do if I´m watching television or I´m busy eating. Every once in a while I adjust the course of the plane and climb. Then some seconds of combat and refuel and rearm at the base - this is an annoyance. It´s really only good if you Alt+Tab and surf in the internet in the meantime while your plane is slowly crawling towards the enemy.

HB is slow paced, but unlike in arcade you often meet skilled enemies and you know you made something right when you have made a kill. It's generally feels more rewarding to kill something. I agree that all the climbing is annoying though, I indeed surf on the internet while doing so quite a lot. THerefore I can totally understand when yoiu prefer arcade. But the fact that you just have to go get a tiny bit of altitude more than the enemy and simply dive on their tails does not make it much fun to me on the long term. Furthermore you really feel the advantages and disadvantages of all the planes in HB, in arcade the simplified flight models seem to put the planes on a similar level of effectiveness, even if you fly them differently.

Many of them hitted...You need insane amounts of them to bring down a single aircraft but you need only a few 20mm's to bring anything down
