If You Have One Plane Youre Going to Get 5 Airkills In, What Do Hop In?

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? :-(.

Yes youre right the mig23 ml did get broken, I used to love that plane. JF17, very underrated, I love that plane. Thank You
I dont exactly see what the F18 will bring,…I mean even in the Maverick movie, they didnt want to face really good fighter jets in it…it will be interesting, and yes mate, there will be a million of them.
I think it will be a better ground attacker than a fighter, but we will see.

My recent “discovery” about two months ago was the Yak 23, that is one plane I will intentionally tangle with an Ariete in…but no flaps, no countermeasures, you definitely have to be looking around.
Thank You

LOL,…yes mate, energy is something else if you know how to use it.
Thank You

My last high kill game I remember was in the british premium FR Mk XIVe. Honestly all 5.7 spitfires can do you great. Griffons can basically do whatever, either outturn or bnz anything lol

Of these I would personally choose the II b/trop it is just a lower tiered typhoon mk 1a, it also has the best climb rate of the all of the hurricanes.

Probably the Ki-43-1. It’s one of my favorites. That, or the Ki-100, or the 109 E-4/E-7, or maybe even the premium Ki-44-II (though that one’s not as fun). I’ve also had good results with the A6M3 Model 32 recently.

Certainly not top tier lol, it’d feel like a chore rather than having fun.

Any of the Ki-43s seem to give me good results consistently.

I got 2 7 kill games in a Mig 23ML (Both times I had to go back to airfield to rearm) got the final kill both games. Its rare since the R-60’s are easily flared but if you manage an ambush with them they are tough to beat

Yak-7B. That thing is ridiculously undertiered.

The Ayit.
At 9.3 with plenty of countermeasures, 4 18G missiles (2 of which being 9Ds), a digital rwr, and great flight performance to boot, I consider the Ayit to be the most under-tiered jet ingame.

P.S.

The RWR will also be buffed soon to the AN/ALR-45F(V), which to my knowledge is a successor to the RWR found in the F-14A, so now the Ayit will get even more capable lol.

Btw, what’s the difference between the Aim-9Ds and Shafirs?
