If you had to pick one plane to carry you through every kind of mission from air to air, air to ground, anti shipping and others, what would you fly and why?

In effect, this is more or less asking what is the most useful and overall most effective plane in the game.



TX-Zen
Black 6

If it were me, I'd probably take the IL2-43M or the 190A9. Perhaps even the P47.TX-ZenBlack 6

I'd go with the Il2-3 or Il2 field-mod. It's smaller cannons seem more effective in air-to-air due to less recoil and slightly faster rate of fire, while still powerful enough to take out ground targets. Though outclassed taking on a large group of fighters, it can handle a few at a time relatively easily. It's mudmoving capacity is second to none.

IL2, for ground pounding and air to air combat, also the 3M with the bigger rockets, can take out ships with ease. I have come to like the FW190A-9 some what, still like the K4 for high altitude dogfights.

I like the IL2 for the ground pounding missions and the Ki84 or the 109's with the Mk108 cannon for either fighter intercept or Bomber intercept.On occasion I like to use the IL2-3M with it's larger cannon to take out B-17's..Happy New Year to one and ALL!...Vodka, Sterno, and Nitrous Oxide a happy Bomber Pilot make!TX-CUDA on UBITX-CUDA on HyperLobbyTX-CUDA on CoD Multiplayer

Well it seems the obvious choice for ground pounding is the il2 its best against tanks veichles etc.  It is my choice as well, id go the the il2 3m or the il2 series 3.  For dogfighting I take the mig-3u it has great climbing speed and is very manuverable.. Its cannons are also very accurate though not much ammo is held.
