[@mikkel066h]

@@WillGeo15 I have just had some stock 152 H games. And not died once the plane is amazing especially against spitfires. If you are loosing a turn fight you can outrun them. If you are headon you can outgun them and likely survive (At least I did with the biggest lost being my oil filter and flap). You give them a nice big spray of 20/30mm cannon fire in a head on. By the way you never want to dogfight spitfires or F2G's. That is just suicide unless you are flying a K4.

Japan: Kawasaki Ki-100 that proved itself one of the most capable fighters of 2nd WW and the Nakajima N1K2-J Shiden that quite possibly could be the best of them all.

BLUNTESTBOOT233 109s are easy kills in the F4Us because usually (at least when I play the 4b) they are 1-2000m below me, since they fought with spitfires and sometimes some p51hs. Without those two planes that can match 109s climb (spitfires are more o less on par with the k4 in the initial climb, in combat the 109 will easily outclimb spits above 350km/h IAS), other planes would be fucked up. In a 1v1 the 4b has no chance with pilots on par. The k4 outclimbs it easily, so after the merge the 109 can just climb for 1-2 minutes and then BnZ the F4U. The F4U can only hope to male the 109 overshoot, since the American plane is faster only below 2500m

ah, youre right at gaijin hq: WE MUST RAISE THE REPAIR COST OF THE F4 FOR BALANCE!!!

Sl modifiers are much higher in tier IV planes, therefore the repair cost is higher. For a better reward there is a higher risk.

fix mk 24 cannons give us the real ones it had hispano mk 5!!!

[@balazsmejzer4213]

Its just crappy modelling because a few early mk24s had mk2s and instead of shortening the barrel on the model, they just went with changing them to mk2s cause they are lazy.

[@grgamasnec4731]

@@balazsmejzer4213 they had them actually in the game 3 years ago but they switched it from mk5 to mk2 for no reason at all

[@balazsmejzer4213]

@@grgamasnec4731 i know that it had mk5s ingame, but the original problem was that the visual model represents a *very* early mk24 that had mk2 cannons irl but ingame it had a mk5 so gaijin had 2 choices: 1. Fix the visual model to represent the shorter barreled mk5 2. Change the cannons to mk2 Ofc they chose the latter because they are lazy and inconsistent with the representation of models

[@orbitalpotato9940]

My favorite is the Japanese J7W1 Shinden. 4x30mm cannons with an excellent top speed rivaling that of jets with amazing energy retention. It used to be able to pull cobras due to engine being at the rear but it's flight model got updated so you can't do that anymore sadly. Definitely my favorite prop along with the bearcat

[@kencohagen4967]

I love the P47. The last version had longer wings that housed bigger fuel tanks for use in the Pacific. The only thing that came close to it in performance was the Corsair. The Hellcat was also a good performer, but want fast enough. I also like the P63. If it had been fitted with a Merlin a fine or a Griffin engine like the ones used by the P51 and in the Seafire, it would have been very fast, highly maneuverable and well armed. But the Army Air Corp wanted to use it in the ground attack role. But, at its peak altitude it flew at 408 MPH, faster that he early Mustang. I also like the Bearcat, La11, Mosquito an pad the Dornier Arrow. It’s hard to pick one out of this group because they were all great piston engines fighters.

[@Moonbearonmeth]

Lmaoing at everyone here crying about repair cost. Just don't die XD

[@bluthammer1442]

yeah just in case they pull the woolley over your eyes. The G.56 comes with a standard 55k lions repair cost if you get shot down. The TA 152h goes for around 40k. Just as an example. The p51h is cheap though. It also costs a lot less silver lions. :)

[@swgamer7458]

[@LucasGamer-sj6ws]

"They have a lot in common" Yes, the silver lion cost is too high. They're unplayable.

Not going to lie, the MB.5 is an underrated premium. Got it on the anniversary sale, and I don't regret it.

I’m gonna have to go for the mk 24. Not the best guns, but I love my spitfires. Beautiful looking planes, and beautiful to handle as well.

[@Torbert_]

1:43 my most memorbale game with this plane was when i climbed 7000 meters to intercept a G8N, only to get pilot sniped from 1.8 km away.

[@wfb.subtraktor311]

Definitely the Ki-84. I remember when the version with the 12.7 mm guns was sitting at 4.7. That was the most brain-afk plane ever.

[@tinylegofiend8605]

G.56 the single engine aircraft with a larger repair cost than the B-29

[@Interweblurker]

As a piston fighter enthusiasts i personally favor the bearcat mainly due to the fact that their used very often in aerial racing, and are a little faster stock than the mustang.

You make these sound so powerful despite there being tanks and planes with lock on SAMs and AAMs. These missiles gonna be hard to evade

So nice the ta152. So beautiful and so advanced. Probably the best ww2 plane

[@cameronvinson1806]

For all of those complaining about repair costs, hear Gaijin out on this one, they actually have a solid reason: The higher a vehicles repair cost, the more SL it usually makes in games. For example the G.56, on average, makes a lot more SL than other vehicles at similar BR's. It's more of a risk=reward scenario, and makes sense considering that the vehicles that have huge repair costs are generally better than other vehicles of the same ranking, example being the Lorraine 40t and other similar French vehicles. And, granted, Gaijin does have a few exceptions that don't make sense, but saying that a repair cost makes a vehicle unplayable means you probably have problems when it comes to actually thinking about how much SL you have left when you buy and crew a vehicle.

[@belgianfried]

MY list 1.KI84, very maneuverable and packs quite a punch, suited for air battles, but can kill light tanks and SPAAs. 2.P51, very maneuverable but lacks in firepower department. It usually can't do much when the rounds ender the roof of SPAAs. 3. G56, its great but not very manoeuvrable 4.spitfire, maneuverable but very hard to aim 5.la9, good guns but not maneuverable, feels like a heavy fighter 6.ta152 Ground targets ok but not maneuverable 7.ta152 late model no 2
