Have your opinions changed on what the best planes are? Have you stuck with the country you started out with? If so, what are the benefits? If not, what country did you switch to and why? I'm starting to consider switching to the USA. I love the biplanes of the Russians, they might not be very fast, but they can turn on a dime! Let's hear your thoughts! Damage_inc- 1 Awards

In that area I just plain suck! Now when it comes to taking out ground targets I can hand the enemy their ass . . .until i get shot down . .lol I've been lucky enough a few times to take out ground targets while dead sticking a crash landing. So far I figured out that if you try and build up planes for every country your gonna go broke because buying modifications and upgrades adds up quick. I'm gonna just pick maybe 2 country's with the Great USA as one and haven't decided which one will be the other. My decision will be based on what the other guys in the squadron advise. One thing that would help is a maneuver that would totally fuck an opponent that is trying to ram you . . . rammers are cowards. I cant dogfight worth a dam but I don't resort to ramming! I guess I didn't answer your question but who gives a shit were all Idiots!! . . .lol Damage_inc- 1 Awards

I would go head to head with them but try to pull up at the last moment and they would follow my climb. I just had the best game I'd ever had when it comes to shooting down other planes....3. When it comes to bombing, I think I have a 12 or 15 streak. I think I'm going to stick with USA and Russian. I might dabble in the other countries, but the serious "money" is going to be focused there. Awards

I have played almost 2 months now and have flown and lvled most all the countries. I can tell you that before the patch to 1.33 the germens had the best balance between fire power and agility. bf109g6 & g10 were unmatched for turning and fire power both the g6 & g10 can be upgraded to 3 x 30mm cannons. Since the new patch to 1.33 the Russians seem to have the best balance. All the yaks are good planes, As they turn tight and have decent fire power. They are IMHO the best planes to fly at lvl 7 and under. I am lvl 19 on germens and Russians but enjoy flying the low lvl Russian planes to grind lvls. If you can afford some gold eagles I would suggest the I-153 premium bi plane with 2x 20mm cannons and rockets and also the air cobra. These 2 planes along with the IL-2 , yak 1-b and of course a bomber ( I use the SB -2M as they have good turn time and agility) are a good set up to grind with. Max out your bomber and upgrade qualification to expert to get more plane kills with rear gunners. Hope to shoot you guys down sometime . Look for Grim_Reaper =FLN= Squadron ( Flying leather necks )
