Got 1946 and its fooking GREAT!
Just actually came from a six hour dog fighting session with some friends, we were doing all sorts of crazy stuff like one person piloting a B-25 and manning the guns while we all took fighters and tried to shoot it down. Goddamn the B-25 is a tough cookie! I seem to do best in the MiG 3ud I like it's handling, firepower and sight picture.
The experimental planes are good fun, my favourite has to be the Heinkel-Lersche. Mostly because it feels like I am flying a tie fighter but also because it is a great plane to lose people in being that it has no wing profile so you can roll it and break totally unpredictably. Also packs a heavy punch with it's cannons, can make 600Km/h, turns sharply and is nigh un-stallable.
Speaking of dog fights I had a massive one with one of my friends. We made a pass at each other head on, then I got behind him, he hit the deck and I followed and a very tight chase developed at extremely low altitude with him just managing to pull tightly out of my sights several times. We then lost each other over a ridge line so I gained a little height and wheeled around for a look only to see him doing the same, this resulted in another head on pass in which I blew one of his wings off sending him into a death spin and he winged my pilot right in the face killing me instantly.
Good stuff!
