In-game, it's the Lavochkin La-7, the dive whiners can go to H, actually they can dive away scared sh1tless in their super diving planes as soon as they see me in my "poor" La7 that can dive
Too Happy

As for RL, I'm just too fond of P51D to vote for anything else...

You know, there was/is a Berlin map on UKded servers which had Me262/109K4/Fw190D9 vs La7/Yak3/Yak9u etc and I would say, from ym experience on that map, that the Fw190D9 was easily a match for the La7.

Whether its a result of good teamwork by the Blues, I am not sure, but I have played that map many, many times on the Blue side and never felt overwhelmed by the La7's. I felt it was quite equal.

Maybe 1 vs 1 would be a different story, however...

"Over Dieppe, the wing was immediately bounced by a hundred FW 190s and a few Me 109s. I heard Johnson effing and blinding as he broke 610 into a fierce attack. I was hard at it dodging 190s, but I found time to speak sharply to Johnson about his foul language." - WingCo Jaime Jameson 12 Group Spitfire

I have played that map a lot as well, and agree with you completely. Yak-9U was far, far deadlier on that map.

Surprisingly the P47 seems to be getting more votes than P51 both in game and in real life! Party Hat

How about a "best planes in air combat role" poll?

IL2 I voted Lavochkin, it's an absolutely beautiful plane outside and in that's brought me through more than any other plane. I can't believe it got 0%! Don't you people have any fond memories of your n00b days in that thing? I still fly it all the time after owning the game since bloody 2003.

IRL I voted P-51 because since I was 9 I've been in LOVE with that plane. I used to imagine flying thousands of feet above the ground shooting down Gerries and dodging bullets. + It simply looks awesome. #1 romantic plane in the game, no doubt about it.

I think good teamwork is a key to keeping the La-7s off your six as a dora.

IRL .. I would opt for the Sea Fury. A carrier capable Tempest on Steroids .. missed the war by a few months and used operationally by FAA until the mid 50's they often feature in the winning places at Reno.
