Mates,…if youre going to hop into a plane and searching for 5 airkills in a battle, which is it going to be?
I will be honest, I do not fly planes that at conducive to getting a million airkills, I enjoy slow planes that maneuver well.
My top air kill battle is 4, and Ive done that many, many times, with some assists…but I cannot seem to break that 4 barrier. I finish in the top three or four nowadays,…what plane is it that you have, that you say, Im going to kill 5 or more in?, Maybe its a couple.
I tend to hesitate off to the side and “Watch”, maybe is the fact that is hindering me.
What is your bad**** plane you hop in to destroy half the enemy team?
My F15A is so good, but yet, every time I fly it I notice…Well there are just certain good planes you fly that involve a bad team, have you noticed that?
Most US teams suck below 12.7, Ive definitely noticed that.
What’s your “go to” plane mates, where you feel you’re the King of the Field?
Spitfire LF MkIX Plagis.
That thing just shreds!
Though that is pretty much also the highest BR aircraft I play in ARB these days and mostly play ASB for jets
for me . . . ITP
Yak-3
Yak-1B, Mustang Mk ia, Ki-100-ii, Me 109 E7, these are all absurdly broken. A6M5 Ko too.
(Yak-3 VK-107 my beloved)
Sb2c the french one (and soon the bp one), with gun pods, that thing is a menace in air rb
My first ace was in the F-5E. My most would be a combined 7 or 8 in the MiG-23ML and MLA, all but one before they got nerfed into the ground. My highest kill round was in the F-4J(UK) at 7 bout a month ago (and I didn’t manage to clip it, ffs). The aircraft I’ve found most reliable recently for multiple kills are the F1C and JF-17. The F1C has the highest kills in one continuous life that I remember (across multiple rounds without being shot down) at 17.
But really anything 13.0 is going to have an all-you-can-eat buffet of level 10 F-18s next patch.
My highest kill game was in the super etendard of all things, I love defas at that BR,
Hawker Hurricane.
Yak-3, or the J-7D.
Probably f8u. Sea vixen in a down tier will do it too
Yak-3 (ones at 4.0 and 4.3)
F-5E FCU
J-7E
German Prem Yak 1B
Ariete (Premium Jet)
That or the Sag 2, both are similar and absolutely destroy anything they meet in a dogfight.
my mirage 2000C ! it’s an amazing plane.
I could also go for the mirage IIIC, the mb 157 on good days or the G.56 they’re such fun planes imo
TLDR if its a spitfire its probably it.
Spitfire LF mk9c Plagis at 5.7 the same as @Morvran said
Typical spitfire stuff but make it more extreme
pretty quick. Climbs like a NASA rocket and outturns the Japanese while absolutely shredding targets in very fast bursts
Same goes for the tech tree and American premium LF mk9 however only its 20mm guns do damage, the 50cals are as damaging as throwing rubber bands at a plane
Spitfire mk24 the final boss of prop fighters
standard spitfire characteristics, 4 hispano guns but you keep up with early jets and will win every dogfight as you regain energy faster than all others but also do better without energy than most
my most used plane by a lot. also my best KDR vehicle in the game
Either that or the Spitfire mkVc trop at 4.7.
Also standard spitfire agility and floatiness however its got quad hispanos at a BR where most things have a couple 50cal guns at best. One single burst kills 90% of the time, guaranteed to stop Yak9k spam in ground battles too as they cant do a thing to you
The F8U is very powerful even still. In a downtier the missiles are usually 4 guaranteed kills against anything without flares, and then it’s a good gunfighter on top of that.
The Ki-44-II is insane. It dominates in climb and maneuverability, has competitive speed and acceleration, and its been a while but I think it has good dive performance too. I can’t overstate its climbing ability. You can easily get up to the bomber altitudes before the merge. It seriously feels like you have an airspawn.
The F4U-1A (USMC/Japan version) is way overpowered at 3.0 on speed alone. When and why did it even get dropped? It used to be 3.3. Good roll, good high-speed turn, and great speed. Weak climbrate and limited WEP though. If you sideclimb you can easily pick people off in relatively safe boom-and-runs if you wait for the furball to develop.
If you’re the kind of guy who enjoys taking a weedwacker to a bunch of coughing babies, there are lots of very unbalanced planes in the Tier 1 and early Tier 2 range (1.0-2.3). If you have a basic grasp of energy management, the He-100D is basically untouchable. Really any extremely lowtier monoplane can be used to farm new players in biplanes, even absolute lemons like the Bf-109B.
probably the F-14A IRIAF in a F-4S downtier
or A-10A late
Il-2M3 - heaps of ammo, stupidly powerful guns at its BR, lots of people who make great targets at that BR too
Dare I add the way OP (1950s) Wyvern? Yak 1, yak 3.
I’ve seen Wyvern players rack up 7 kills per match plenty of times. Not fair is it? :-(.
