im so happy of my choice switching to uk instead of ussr the ground is fun but the planes are much more better for me
the mkV has a better engine over the mk2, an extra 200hp which is quite something.
i find myself leaning more towards a mosquite NF mk2 for 3.7 as its got better guns while still holding up good in a turnfight.
glad to hear it. a lot of people hate on the tree sadly, lot of it is either because its britain or because early ground can be painful.
Love the planes. always have and always will
is it better to have more smaller bombs or like less bombs but bigger ones
personal preference. Ive found that its usually a mixture of volume of ordinance and how big each individual piece is
Take for example the mk24 spitfire.
It can carry RP3 and triplex rockets as well as GP & MC 250-500lb bombs.
I could take all three MC 500 lb bombs as they have the most explosives but i dont.
I take one MC 500lb and two MC 250lb bombs with ten RP3 rockets. I may have less chance of outright killing a tank with the smaller bombs but ill still damage them and get an assist a fair amount of the time, I then have rockets to overpressure open top vehicles or to fire a salvo at a normal tank in the hopes of getting a lucky kill.
you may find that another combination works better for you though. its down to how you play more than anything
Would highly recommend the Typhoons/Tempests for CAS at their BRs, 1000lb bombs for hitting and 20mm Hispanos (except for the first Typhoon) for killing AA and open top vehicles, and ngl they turn better than nearly all other attacker aircraft at their BRs.
For WWII ranks:
Air to air: Spitfires, no doubt. They can also carry smaller bombs or RP-3 rockets so you can do some damage to ground vehicles and then deal with enemy aircraft…
Air to ground: The premium Typhoon works amazing. Besides bombs/rockets, it’s still a very capable fighter and the 20mm cannons are pretty good, too. Almost everything except heavy tanks can be eliminated from top down attacks. Another aircraft would be the premium F6F Hellcat.
Mosquitos are decent CAS, especially with the Uncle Tom rockets, but cannot really survive when there’s enemy aicraft around…
Also the squadron Mosquito with the 4000lb bomb is a babe… :)
Honourable mention: The cannon Tempest. Surprisingly effective against tanks while maintaining very decent maneuverability, so it can deal with enemy attackers/bombers, too…

For WW2 ranks, I second your recommendation of the premium F6F-5. The Wyvern is of course also great. Three individually dropping 1000lb teabags.
Unfortunately in terms of sheer tankbusting potential, tech tree vehicles do not come close between these two until you reach jets with ample air to ground ordinance selections. The Sea Brick may get four Triplex RPs, but good luck aiming them and not lawn-darting with how FUBAR its flight model is. Likewise about Mosquitoes with Uncle Tom rockets. A Typhoon or Tempest with two 1000lb teabags is always decent, but not exceptional, because they drop in unison.
