Probably the Huey, because that map is gonna look soooo sexy low & slow.

 

Plus I just like the Huey a lot...

The first flight we'll be in Spitfire, just for the immersion. After all this waiting for WWII map and flying warbirds over modern theaters, it would be kind of irony to fly for the first time over it in a modern jet.

After burning thousands of virtual gallons of fuel in Spit, I'll switch to Spit. Next, for a change, I'll pick another livery for Spit and keep flying it :). But seriously, the best thing about the map is that finally it’ll be possible to setup some interesting missions. I guess we can use the additional time until release to read about the Normandy warfare and collect information for building scenarios once the map is out. Also the Normandy and new units to some extend will work well with first gen jets - MiG-15 and Sabre. I'm looking forward to Normandy also because of those planes. Both are great modules with little content at the moment.

Get the one that for whatever reason you like the most in reality ;)

... or the most superior after acquiring skills ?

Please, please, I beg you all... let's not start this discussion :thumbup:

I intend to start with the P-51, as I find it the easiest of the four to fly ... but will nevertheless train with all four of them, two and a half months will provide plenty of time to practice :)

All of them...,

:D:D:smartass::pilotfly:

 

Sorry, just couldn't resist...:)

Exactly. I own all of them, will fly all of them also. Why choose?

I'll fly the Dora, because I like it's handling. Spit is a pain in the ass on the ground, so I don't really like it. But that's just my personal opinion. :D

K-4 for me. I've got her down pretty good. I plan to buzz by Big Ben, and of course, say hello to Parliament...

Is Dover included? Cuz I believe that's where Patton's decoy army was centred during the D-Day campaign. Tying up lots of real Germans waiting for his invasion at the Pas de Calais.

 

Or are you saying that the P-47 will be as real as Patton's army? I kind of see that.

KA-50 because finally there is a ground concealment and cover to get close and do correct pop-up and slide attacks.... As long AI vision and reaction times gets simulated.

I'm probably just re-iterating what others are saying, but the P-51 is definitely the easiest to fly. I would also say that the 109 is the most effective, once you master it.:pilotfly:

I'll be flying the Huey but wishing for a Tiger Moth. The view is going to be too good to fly anything faster.

I may put effort into learning my Huey... the rotor heads are right, this map would be cool low and slow. Might even exit a bird and walk around a bit.

 

For me, I'll certainly play in the Stang and Spit, Stang mostly. My real dream is the Thunderbolt. I have a feeling that once this matures a bit, I'll drive the Bolt and the XIV.
