Good evening.
This is a plane comparison I've made for the upcoming S3 event "When Titans Clashed".
Luftwaffe fighters:
Dangerous above 15k to us. This is due to good speed at alt and very potent guns, especially the Fw190A-4. The IAR81C (Fw190A-1) is a low threat though, decent guns but bad turn-rate and slow speed, kill it at sight! We can fight the LW up to 25k, so no need to be sitting ducks at 5k even though we excel below 10k. Attack bf109s from low six as their back view is bad.
Our fighters:
*LA5-FN: Escort and longer missions. Has 73 minutes of fuel. Good turn fighter, excels at low alt. Semi-decent guns & cockpit view. Same speed as LW below 10k, but slightly slower above 15k. Requires very smooth handling.
Yak-3: Defensive A2A missions. This is due to low fuel-capacity. Otherwise our fastest & best plane. Can outrun anything below 15k, and fly as fast as the LW at 15k-25k. Outturns the bf109G-6. Great cockpit view.
P39Q: Ground attack missions only. Can defend itself fairly & outturn the 190s, but use it for sneak attacks on vehicles/ships/bases.
See you all in the virtual skies.
Good luck and good hunting gentlemen!
