I usually avoid 1941 or earlier
1942 the P-40 or the Hurricane
1943 the P-47
1944 the FW-190A-8, P-47 or LA-5FN

I agree with the migs except the mig-3U, which I find to be the most manuverable for 1942

but I hate the yaks

[quote="|ANIMAL| 1SG Jaybird":4c70e]ya a lot of ppl are complaining about the fm (flight models) for the german planes in FB (forgotten battles). [/quote:4c70e]

the flight models are accurate, the people that complain about them just don't know how to fly the planes correctly. The German planes are supposed to be just fast "hit and run" types, the russians planes are better at turning. Most people in German planes try to out turn the Russians and get out turned themselves, which leds them to believe that the Germans are inaccurately modelled.
