I think it’d be pretty cool if you did a best Aircraft by tier by country as a series. Ik it’s a lot of time but I think it’s an interesting video series idea.
Today i beat P-51H-5 in 1v1 dogfight with Bf-109K-4, starting with roughly 500 alt. meters disadvantage, the dogfight was 2 minutes 34 seconds. I don't know how i managed to do that but it was the most wonderful feeling puting that p-51 on fire
The only thing that i think should be on this list is the He-100D1 thing is an absolute menace considering its faster than some 5.0 planes at 1.7 (i think they may have changed it from the last time i played) only bad thing about it is the guns but considering you get as many passes as you need its not that much of a hinderance
Just yesterday i was talking to a friend, looking back on the 2013 and 2014 days of P39N dominance. Took it out for a spin yesterday and, per usual, oneshot 2 bombers with a nice wing/engine 37mm shot. Felt it was still pretty strong and now i encounter it again in this video! It was so much fun especially after making your big caliber guns (20mm +) control a different mouse button so you can really take your time to aim fuselage shots after crippling them with the 7.62 and 50 calls. The part about the shoving smaller kids into a locker thing is something that describes this plane so well, its almost making me consider not playing it cause of how unfair a fully spaded p39 feels😂
can you do a top 5 aircraft rank by rank list, or even for every br? That would give a real good comparison to the planes you encounter and what i can and shouldnt engage
Hey Seek, I think you should take a look at the Swedish VL Myrsky II if you've got that event vehicle on you. At a BR of 2.3 in air RB the aircraft showcases quite the powerful aliment having 4x 12.7mm LKk/42 machine guns. These machine guns are all placed at the nose of the aircraft. Equipping tracer rounds those machine guns turn into lasers. They will pretty much set fire and pilot snipe all day in the hands of a confident pilot. In a low tier you pretty much bully and evaporate your enemies while in a upper tier you'll stand to hold you own very well. The aircraft is very capable in boom and zoom tactics however feels like a BF-109 in the sense that it can also become a pretty decent turn fighter if necessary. I don't know how else to best explain it however if you're able to try it out yourself it is defiantly worth playing. Taking into consideration your top 5 best aircraft being that of great holding inside their respected BR I would consider this aircraft to be one that should easily stand up along side your picks as being equally as great.
@@blobert62 Perhaps if one doesn't know what they are doing while flying it however if you understand and get to know the aircraft it can be very deadly for that BR.
Then there's the Finnish B-239 (Basically a Brewster Buffalo but with 1100rpm .50s) that does everything the Myrsky does _and_ more. I'll admit, the 239 is a SCARY plane in good hands.
@@no-legjohnny3691 Well the VL Myrsky II is much greater scary in my opinion saying that all 4x 12.7mm machine guns are nose mounted. It trades a little bit maneuverability over the B-239 for better gun placement as well as maximum speed. Both are great aircraft however I'd consider the VL Myrsky II just that much more greater in terms of overall usage. Bonus feature of the VL Myrsky II to take into consideration over the B-239 is that it can carry bombs. These bombs also drop one at a time which is huge in terms of game play speaking outside of just air RB.
The only good thing about VL Myrsky is armament. It's slow (100 kph slower than P-39N at the deck), loses in a dogfight to things like 39N, 109E-1 and Yak-1 (and a lot of other planes), has mediocre to bad climb rate. Basically it has good armament that is easy to aim and the strengths end there. It's nowhere close to any plane featured on this video.
I grinded through two tiers of China with the La-9 so seeing your P-51H dunk on two of them one after the other made me wince. Facing P-51Hs were my second-worst nightmare, almost as bad as having 4 Ju-288s on my team
You can reliably energy trap Su11 in F89. Many of those poor Su pilots have no idea what's coming until is too late. Sea Meteor can also counter Su11 quite well, but it requires careful flying. Thanks for the video! Cheers!
Yea, Su-11 is good but honestly it's not really *that* OP as there are other planes even around it's BR that can competitively dogfight with it as long as their pilots know what they are doing. And the lack of an air brake is actually not just a minor issue - there is a ton of flexibility you lose without being able to hit the brake, especially with the boom and zoom high speeds you will be fighting at.
I feel like the Yak-9U, the Yak-3, the Pyorremyrsky, Spitfire F Mk.9 and honestly the G.55 serie 0 all dunk on the J2M2 at the 4.3/4.7 area. Sure, my experience is anecdotal but I have 2 of these planes aced already, many a J2M2 were my victims. Oh yeah, the 2.3 Yak-1 is absurdly insane, miles ahead of any other plane at that BR.
all of those planes except 9u gets completely fucked by j2m2, if you wan tto duel me in any of them, either in a short map or arb map i can show it to you. 9u is still worse, just not 100% hopeless
Yak-9U can put up somewhat of a fight, the rest stand basically no chance lol, all of them except 9U are either slower than J2M2 or in case of Yak-3 faster but not by a big enough margin, J2M2 climbs better than any of them and beats all of them in a dogfight
I like that this video is on something other than top tier jets, which I think has become a bit too much flooded in the market, especially when it comes to content. Nice to see the lower tiers (which I find to be more fun) get in love they need.
After playing for 8 years, this list would be more of a, they were just that good at that time, almost playing on easy mode 1. Yak3p 2. Mig 15bis 3. R2Y2 4. Sabre (All variants) 5. G55s
Just fully upgraded my J2M2. It was a little hard early on when none of the modifications where complete, but was able to push through and now it is a beast.
I roll with the airacobra more often than not and absolutely love it when I get the jump on people. It does pretty well as a multirole too, as I find myself acting like a high speed low altitude bomber sometimes, lol
I recently encountered a very competent player using the p51H and we had absolutely no communication when we first played but the both of us were like a tag team that destroyed all the enemy fighters as the last 2 in our team alive. It was a blast but we lost on tickets but we played more games and almost always win.
Low tier: P-39N Mid-Tier props: 3 way tie between the Pyorremyrsky, the Yak9U, and Bf109G6. Super props: P51H, 109k4 (kinda) Lower half jets: Cl-13B, G-91R3 High tier jets: Mig29G, F-16C
And then there's the Spit Mk24, a plane that stomped its competition so hard that Gaijin decided that it was only fair to fight jets. And even then, a smart pilot can still hold his own at that BR lol.
The J2M5 (premium) is basically a J2M2 with slightly worse climb rate and some wicked high velocity 30mm cannons (but only 84 rounds, and ALWAYS take tracer belts for air to air). It doesn't climb as well, but it's still better than most things out there (XP-50 will be the biggest threat), but the big advantage is that it produces so much SL and it's quite good, so if you're looking for an SL grinding premium, the J2M5 is a great choice, you just need to be judicious with your shots and be mindful that it compresses above 400mph.
Thoughts on the P-59A? From my experience, the only times I've lost in the P59 is when I'm at an energy disadvantage against a Japanese fighter or fighting multiple enemies solo.
As a japan main that mainly plays props, the J2M2 is amazing. It was my favorite plane for a very long time, I never see anybody talking about it which is a shame.
I'd say as far as "top tier" goes, the F-8E Crusader should be on this list. I know at 10.3 it's not true top tier, but it sees F-14s from time to time. The thing has good acceleration, good climb, can turn with an F-5C if you're smart about it, the Aim 9C is a great high altitude missile that's a good substitute for a sparrow since a lot of the planes you'll face don't have RWR (also good for when you're below an opponent looking up or if they only load flares), the Aim 9D has great range and is perfect for launching at a distracted opponent 2.5+ miles away and then turning to engage someone else and just waiting for the "Aircraft Destroyed" tag to pop up. It can take 4,000lbs of bombs in addition to your missiles and has good fuel burn as long as you don't ride on afterburner nonstop on the deck. It does lack an RWR and doesn't have many countermeasures, but it's such a good all-around fighter that I pull about a 4:1 KDR with it and it's a perfect counter to the A5 and F-5 (meanwhile I'm about 1.2 : 1 KDR in the F-14).
The J2M2 is such an amazing plane that people just kinda forget about. I love how good it climbs and turns and the 20mm guns are pretty decent. Tho one plane that i'd personally put in that list too would be the Pyörremyrsky. It kinda does very similar things to the J2M2, it climbs really hard and its turn performance, especially at low speed goes really hard. Of course this is your list and your opinion, tho i'd like to ask you, what do you think of the Pyörremyrsky? Is it overhyped, or is it actually as good as it feels?
PM-1 is a solid plane of course, but J2M2 kinda does the same thing but better at the same BR. It's faster, it climbs a bit better, it wins the dogfight vs PM-1, and they both compress about equally. The only thing that PM-1 does better is performance above 5 km, but with how low most fights happen in ARB this advantage is barely worth anything
Late, research either with a premium you like to play or using the plane right below what you are researching gives about 110% research bonus to the next air vehicle.
I'm surprsied honestly that the P-39 even made it on the list. I genuinely hated them and skipped all of them throughout the entire tree. I found so many different vehicles that could bully players at any tier but never once did I look back to them.
My top 5s (in no specific order) has to be: 1. P-38 (variants with boosters) boom and zoom god, can hold it's own in a dogfight, AN/M2 20mm 2. Meteor F Mk 8 Slaps around jets in dogfights with good flap and airbrake management, guns are garbage 3. La-15 just good, rips a little early though 4. VL Pyörremyrsky BF-109 x Yak, great climb rate, German 20mm 5. F-14A Self explanatory
Curious about how Yak-3 performs in the game. Most who flew both it and P-51 D consider the Yak superior unless at high altitude, including France’s #2 WWII ace, later a test pilot.
1. J2M2 2. PM1 3. YAK-3U 4. 109F4 5. La-15 I'd put the F-16 in as an honorable mention as the amount of energy that thing shits out is ridiculous. I'd put the Yak-3 somewhere in there as I'm a French Yak-3 Enjoyer.
Personally I find the P-39Q and P-63A5 better even at their increased battle rating over the P-39N. I'm a big fan of them and would actually love to see the P-63D in the game as like a battle pass vehicle, it was the only P-63 to have a bubble canopy, it had larger wings and an uprated engine making it the fastest P-63. I'd of put the Re-2005 on this list, that thing is a monster and I personally love it. The C.202's and C.205's are also pretty monsterous at their various BR's, I think the biggest offender is the C.202D which I believe was a battle pass aircraft. The Cw-21, the He-100 are both pretty evil little aircraft at their low BR's in the hands of even a decent pilot. The F-80A and C are both pretty impressive for their BR, you handled them pretty well in your Su-11 though. And even though it's a bomber, the B-34 is surpassingly effective even at it's now 3.3 BR. It's one of the few bombers I fly for fun, I'm often top of the round with 1-2 bases destroyed and usually 3-4 aircraft shot down.
If you’re reading the stat card to get the climb rate, don’t. The stat cards are literally all wrong on every single plane in the game. Why? idk. They may as well just remove them though. The P39Q has more drag and is overall just slower at everything because of it
Idk why but every time I play a mustang *ALL* my enemies actually climb up high so while I’m side climbing to 3k km my enemies are up at the space station😂
@@tigerbesteverything Thanks to the low level premium buyers having less brain power, they usually commit and die. Even still, you can avoid bnz tactics with headon spirals easily with this
A comment on the Su-11, the Sea Meteor Mk.3 is the bane of that plane's existance, as at the same BR, it has more thrust, better guns, an airbrake and turns way better. The Sea Jeesus still has it in 2023. I'd also look into maybe fitting the Japanese Bf 109 E-7 or Ki-44 II hei somewhere on the list, otherwise a great ranking and I agree with all the choices presented!
Im new to the game and the only time I die with the p-39 is if my team suck and I’m the last one left with 5 people on my butt or they catch me of guard
P51H should still win pretty handily. The VK107 is just a lesser Yak3U, and the 51H should beat the 3U. Not to say it's impossible for the 3U to win, but the 51 has more advantages
P-47D (German prem not available atm) & P-47D-27 (SU) 8 fifty cal means with 4.31kg of ammo in almost limitless 3400 rounds. Even if you have the worst aim on planet you kill everything you get in front of you. Because more often than not you set enemies in fire with just a couple hits. There is a reason why the Thunderbolt is in almost everys nation research tree.😉
Unfortunatelly, any competent player can dodge a headon, and outside of a headon, the P47 is incapable of anything really. The only thing it might stand a chance against in a dogfight would be a heavy bomber.
If you have a Bf-109 that knows how to use their energy properly, the P-39N doesn't really stand a chance. I'm nit hating on the 39 obviously but as long as you dont get mowed down by a run and gun then the 109 can take on the 39N anyday
Yup the P-39 at 2.7 is broken. It should be a 4.0 maybe 4.3 plane. Whenever my squad mates wants to fly 2.7 - 4.3 I bring the P-39 out only due yo how ridiculous the plane is, it can out energy fight everything below 4000m altitude.
:In a fight between you and the Ta 152 H, who would win :If they can trap me in a dogfight and activate their landing flaps it might give me a little trouble :But would you lose? P-51H:Nah, I'd win
i am new to war thunder, i just got p 39 and i am rekt all the time, i dont understand why, most planes outurn me and when i shoot i deal no damage... no diea what i am doing wrong....
I mean, the p39 is op, but in my opinion, it's not that op. Most of the time your engine dies after a couple of hits from a 7.7. And the plane is pretty fragile at least in my experience.
It seems War Thunder is the best VR Flight Sim , For the reason of stability for most , it doesn't drain your resources like Mfs or DCs world ...The developer has stride to make the Game playable for most and not just 2000 GPU owners.....I hope they bring on a fleet of submarines
The 51H should beat the 152H easily, only way it loses is if it just sticks a turn fight. The He162 would be annoying but all it can really do is run away, if it tries to attack the 51 it probably isn’t going go be killing it unless it slows down, then it’ll die
Powerful planes: Su11, xp50, f2g and su25. These planes are p2w basically. Powerful planes: Mig29, f14, f16. Op planes if you don’t enjoy fun at all (top tier is boring)
I’d argue the 152H is a better 1v1 than The P51H. I remember Adamthrenginerds vid vs Defyn where the 152 smoked it n every time I’m in mine I alway get 3-4 kills only issue.P51H gets F2G spam which r fighters, Ta 152h gets 288 spam allll bombers.
That’s only a pure turn right with no extending. In reality the 51H can run a train on the 152H with unlimited energy. Those terms weren’t very realistic and heavily skewed in favor of the Ta.
Surprised to not see the A6M2-N on this list. Knock the pontoon off and you essentially have a 3.7 zero way down at 2.3. This isnt a 'hur dur zero turn well op' thing, as at 2.3, the zero is as fast and climbs just as well as the some of the best opposition it can face, ontop of the fantastic turn radius. dont know if its slept on or not but it would be so bad to try out. Oh and ty for calling out the J2 that thing is so absurd, seems most people only focus on the Japanese props with good turn rates when most of the time its the fast Japanese planes that are the ones to look out for

throwback to when the Japanese Bf 109 E-7 sat at 2.3 until a few months ago (although it's still pretty nasty at 3.0)

He was either damaged or was stock. No way any competent player would let themselves get styled on.

That's a good point. Hell, you can often turn WITH a Zero. I get people complaining when I take mine out atleast a few rounds a day.
Man, I love the J2M2. I got a free talisman and ground out almost all of rank 4 with it
P-36C is amazing at around br 8 in air arcade, absolutely amazing for farming the God Mode achievement and out maneuvering jets.

It kinda does very similar things to the J2M2, it climbs really hard and its turn performance, especially at low speed goes really hard. Of course this is your list and your opinion, tho i'd like to ask you, what do you think of the Pyörremyrsky?
Is it overhyped, or is it actually as good as it feels?
PM-1 is a solid plane of course, but J2M2 kinda does the same thing but better at the same BR. It's faster, it climbs a bit better, it wins the dogfight vs PM-1, and they both compress about equally. The only thing that PM-1 does better is performance above 5 km, but with how low most fights happen in ARB this advantage is barely worth anything
I just started playing yesterday in 2023 after years of not playing what's the best way to unlock the planes and tanks
Late, research either with a premium you like to play or using the plane right below what you are researching gives about 110% research bonus to the next air vehicle.
I'm surprsied honestly that the P-39 even made it on the list. I genuinely hated them and skipped all of them throughout the entire tree. I found so many different vehicles that could bully players at any tier but never once did I look back to them.
maybe this should have been a Top 8, 1 for each rank.
Not a horrible idea
yup good idea
Dude i dont mind sitting through an sponsor ad if it helps the channel, but if you keep popping it back up multiple times throughout the vid im out
The ju 288 is like the german version of the a-10 in the case that you see it every round, but i don't complain it helped me quite a lot with germany
My top 5s (in no specific order) has to be:
1. P-38 (variants with boosters) boom and zoom god, can hold it's own in a dogfight, AN/M2 20mm
2. Meteor F Mk 8
Slaps around jets in dogfights with good flap and airbrake management, guns are garbage
3. La-15 just good, rips a little early though
4. VL Pyörremyrsky
BF-109 x Yak, great climb rate, German 20mm
5. F-14A
Self explanatory
38's are garbage in air RB.. gret in SIM though

Curious about how Yak-3 performs in the game. Most who flew both it and P-51 D consider the Yak superior unless at high altitude, including France’s #2 WWII ace, later a test pilot.
The transition to that sponsor was amazing.
Oh how i love that spit mk22 & 24 are higher than p51h xD it’s fair my god
i take the P51H into top tier pretty frequently, just as a meme. Almost always get two kills at a minimum. thing is awesome
1. J2M2
2. PM1
3. YAK-3U
4. 109F4
5. La-15
I'd put the F-16 in as an honorable mention as the amount of energy that thing shits out is ridiculous. I'd put the Yak-3 somewhere in there as I'm a French Yak-3 Enjoyer.
I’ve only really played USA but my best plane is definitely the F6F-5N, after that it’s probably the P-51 (the cannon one), F-4C, P-61, and P-38G
Personally I find the P-39Q and P-63A5 better even at their increased battle rating over the P-39N. I'm a big fan of them and would actually love to see the P-63D in the game as like a battle pass vehicle, it was the only P-63 to have a bubble canopy, it had larger wings and an uprated engine making it the fastest P-63.
I'd of put the Re-2005 on this list, that thing is a monster and I personally love it. The C.202's and C.205's are also pretty monsterous at their various BR's, I think the biggest offender is the C.202D which I believe was a battle pass aircraft. The Cw-21, the He-100 are both pretty evil little aircraft at their low BR's in the hands of even a decent pilot. The F-80A and C are both pretty impressive for their BR, you handled them pretty well in your Su-11 though.
And even though it's a bomber, the B-34 is surpassingly effective even at it's now 3.3 BR. It's one of the few bombers I fly for fun, I'm often top of the round with 1-2 bases destroyed and usually 3-4 aircraft shot down.
The P63 is of course better, but the P39Q is just objectively worse lol
@@SeekerHead With the P-39Q you get better climb rate and a more uniform weapon set, I'd but rather have that, personally.
If you’re reading the stat card to get the climb rate, don’t. The stat cards are literally all wrong on every single plane in the game. Why? idk. They may as well just remove them though. The P39Q has more drag and is overall just slower at everything because of it
The 2005 is a useless pathetic plane at 5.7 idk how one can possibly consider it as a contender for an overpowered plane list
I dunno but I smoke everyone in a Re2005
With the f2h-2 at 7.3 now it might help with fighting the hordes of su 11 gonna play mine very soon, spaded it back when it was 8.0
su11 still outspeed everything until 8.3.
Idk why but every time I play a mustang *ALL* my enemies actually climb up high so while I’m side climbing to 3k km my enemies are up at the space station😂
I literally use the p39 to god mode farm against helis
The su11 is also countered by the ouragan, singe the ouragan turns better and has air brakes. It’s one of my favorite planes for stomping su11s
because they commit, ouragan can't face the su11 if he BnZ. It can face the su9 tho.
@@tigerbesteverything Thanks to the low level premium buyers having less brain power, they usually commit and die. Even still, you can avoid bnz tactics with headon spirals easily with this
The Typhoon in the British tree is the GOAT
Top 5 Props That AREN'T Broken
Favs for me are in no particular order
A6m5 ko
Bf 109 f4
Spitfire lf mk ix
Hornet mk3
Any of the 5.7/6.0 italian props
A comment on the Su-11, the Sea Meteor Mk.3 is the bane of that plane's existance, as at the same BR, it has more thrust, better guns, an airbrake and turns way better. The Sea Jeesus still has it in 2023. I'd also look into maybe fitting the Japanese Bf 109 E-7 or Ki-44 II hei somewhere on the list, otherwise a great ranking and I agree with all the choices presented!
P39-N is an amazing plane you can play it at 4.7 and its still pretty good
Homies relentless snakin kills like an absolute savage in these vids😂 😂
I have come to spread the good word: the re 2005 in the Italian tree is the most fun prop in the game
probably my favoutite plane is french p63. Its op as hell on 4.0
Can you do a top 5 planes for AB? or tips on playing arcade?
Just play RB
These are 5 of the planes of all time to be sure
Im new to the game and the only time I die with the p-39 is if my team suck and I’m the last one left with 5 people on my butt or they catch me of guard
Certainly some of the aircraft in aviation history 💯💯
1:34 yak3vk107 says hello.. idk if you ever played it but it is a freaking UFO. If you play it right it is untouchable at 5.7
P51H should still win pretty handily. The VK107 is just a lesser Yak3U, and the 51H should beat the 3U. Not to say it's impossible for the 3U to win, but the 51 has more advantages
P-47D (German prem not available atm) & P-47D-27 (SU)
8 fifty cal means with 4.31kg of ammo in almost limitless 3400 rounds.
Even if you have the worst aim on planet you kill everything you get in front of you.
Because more often than not you set enemies in fire with just a couple hits.
There is a reason why the Thunderbolt is in almost everys nation research tree.😉
Unfortunatelly, any competent player can dodge a headon, and outside of a headon, the P47 is incapable of anything really. The only thing it might stand a chance against in a dogfight would be a heavy bomber.
@@jojomaster7675 Did quite well in the P-47 for grinding the SU-27 in current event.😋
@@darthmaul8912 Bro's living 2 years ahead to be grinding an su-27.
@@jojomaster7675 Sorry, I ment SU-25 BM of course.
If you have a Bf-109 that knows how to use their energy properly, the P-39N doesn't really stand a chance. I'm nit hating on the 39 obviously but as long as you dont get mowed down by a run and gun then the 109 can take on the 39N anyday
The yak3u is another solid plane
Yup the P-39 at 2.7 is broken. It should be a 4.0 maybe 4.3 plane. Whenever my squad mates wants to fly 2.7 - 4.3 I bring the P-39 out only due yo how ridiculous the plane is, it can out energy fight everything below 4000m altitude.
Dunno if it was moved or something, but the BF-109E3 is for some reason at 2.3 and it is hilariously broken, probably should've been on the list
The bf 109 e7 for Japan was 2.3 and got moved to 3.0.
Still good
@@cainok504 the E3 in the German TT is still 2.3 and I believe is identical, go figure lmao
@@jaek__ no, E-7 is identical to 109E-4 which is 3.0, and it got moved to 3.0. E-3 at 2.3 is good but nowhere near as broken as things featured here.
Swedish J22-B review! 4 broken 13.2mms on a point and shoot platform!
:In a fight between you and the Ta 152 H, who would win
:If they can trap me in a dogfight and activate their landing flaps it might give me a little trouble
:But would you lose?

Why isn't the Chinese j-20 on this list

Last night when our in the Su-11 drunk and I still ended with a 2 kill and 2 assist so I can attest to it being OP
Even the p400 is crazy and i think its only a 2.3
Idk why I see no one mention the ki 44 at 3.3 it out flies anything and out limbs them too usually.
i am new to war thunder, i just got p 39 and i am rekt all the time, i dont understand why, most planes outurn me and when i shoot i deal no damage... no diea what i am doing wrong....
I mean, the p39 is op, but in my opinion, it's not that op. Most of the time your engine dies after a couple of hits from a 7.7. And the plane is pretty fragile at least in my experience.
Dont get shot maybe
The amount of p39s ive bullied in the yak1b😂
there's also the he100 that's faster than 4.0 planes at 1.7...
All of these airplanes fly and that’s a fact
And do they have a mode where players can be in air ground and sea vehicles at the exact same time I would love to see hundreds of players everywhere
Maybe the p59a? The t18b is also pretty good
Stuka D-5 with gunpods is the best fighter. 95% enemies are stupid enough to go headon.
It seems War Thunder is the best VR Flight Sim , For the reason of stability for most , it doesn't drain your resources like Mfs or DCs world ...The developer has stride to make the Game playable for most and not just 2000 GPU owners.....I hope they bring on a fleet of submarines
HE-100 D-1 is a beast
Can't believe they moved it down lmaoo
P51H could return 6.0 to the fighters, if we just all played P51H all the time.
Suprised the Yak 3U at 5.7 wasn’t put on this list
Slow. Bad mm. Horrible dive speed/rip speed.
me personally i like the wyvern
Hey Seek, how do I get _to_ Top Tier? I'm only just now breaking into 5.0 with my HO 229 and its taken me nine years to get to there.
ki44 with 4 50 cals is really op.
The Swift F7 should be up there
one plane at ~6.0 that can definitively beat the P-51H is the Ta 152 H or He 162
The 51H should beat the 152H easily, only way it loses is if it just sticks a turn fight. The He162 would be annoying but all it can really do is run away, if it tries to attack the 51 it probably isn’t going go be killing it unless it slows down, then it’ll die
Powerful planes:
Su11, xp50, f2g and su25. These planes are p2w basically.
Powerful planes:
Mig29, f14, f16. Op planes if you don’t enjoy fun at all (top tier is boring)
I’d argue the 152H is a better 1v1 than The P51H. I remember Adamthrenginerds vid vs Defyn where the 152 smoked it n every time I’m in mine I alway get 3-4 kills only issue.P51H gets F2G spam which r fighters, Ta 152h gets 288 spam allll bombers.
That’s only a pure turn right with no extending. In reality the 51H can run a train on the 152H with unlimited energy. Those terms weren’t very realistic and heavily skewed in favor of the Ta.
In an actual match the 51h smokes the 152h
All it has to do is not turn with it and the 51h wins

Surprised to not see the A6M2-N on this list. Knock the pontoon off and you essentially have a 3.7 zero way down at 2.3. This isnt a 'hur dur zero turn well op' thing, as at 2.3, the zero is as fast and climbs just as well as the some of the best opposition it can face, ontop of the fantastic turn radius. dont know if its slept on or not but it would be so bad to try out. Oh and ty for calling out the J2 that thing is so absurd, seems most people only focus on the Japanese props with good turn rates when most of the time its the fast Japanese planes that are the ones to look out for
not sure if it still is, but way back when, it was always used as a free ram attack. get a ram kill and suddenly you're really agile.
