If you have 40 acres, maybe.

Guys, if you want a plane that can turn as fast as a japanese one, take the Re.2000 Serie 1. This thing can turn as fast as the Ki 43. The only problems with it are the engine overheating and lackluster roll rate.

In a pure low altitude turn-fight a Zero of course but in any other scenario give me the Spitfire, Friedrich. They will crush anything when other flight performance factors are added into the equation. Yak-3 would also be here if it could stand higher dive speeds

Try the Ki-43-II, not the Ki-43-I, not the Ki-43-III, the Ki-43-II, it's a demon.

Ki-43-I is my choice for dogfigthing It can turn better than the Zero when using landing flaps while also maintaining a bit of speed. Just the enough. However the armament is poor I once remember it bringing it into a 5.0 battle and scoring 8 kills in the match (which i sent replay in thundershow but didnt got pick :/ and is already late since it was 2 updates ago when i performed this) And in its BR. So many people understimate it because they think of the Ki-43 as an extremely vulnerable plane with no guns and they are right. Untill they make the mistake of engaging and start to turn

@@Xer0280 my advice is that Ki-43 model 1 its one of the low tier kings in dogfights you can get behind the enemy figther and spray bullets or you can just keep in him in front of you untill he runs out of energy and becomes an easier target then it should be a short burst. the plane exceeds in 1v1. When theres more planes involved then its more difficult. I've managed to come unharmed from a 1v5 all because the Ki-43 turns like a demon. I would say is a bit higher turn rate then the zero.

ikr, I have all the Zeros to the A6M5, all of them spaded except for the A6M5, but I plan on spading them all, they are fun as hell

Absolutely love playing J2M's or Ki-84's, they are my fav. Though, the G8N1 isn't that far behind.

CR 32 Bis. People often underestimate it just because it's a biplane. It can out turn most other monoplanes at it's Rank, plus it has a little extra fire power, and the telescopic gun sight actually comes in handy.

F2A-1 and F2A-3 are both literal UFO's that I think deserve a league of their own if a video on low tier planes comes out. Every time I go into a match with those I come out with at least an ace

Great video, I would just add Ta 152, Il2 Sturmovick 1942 can turn with spits, Hurricane, P36, and Ki44. The Ki44 and ki61 have a near identical turn. There are a few others as well.

I love the Bf 109 F1, yes it doesn't have much ammunition but if you use your shots wisely, you can get quick kills for not much work thanks to its amazing energy retention, the only times I have ever died in that thing are when I'm sniped from the heavens or when someone gets lucky shots in the head to head, I've even landed a kill against a A7M with it

I am here with a classic, the Spitfire. I enjoy it and it can take a decent hit.

The C.202 and C.205 (MG versions) are great turn fighters similar to the ki-61 Otsu/Ko but at their BR lack of cannons hurt in up tiers.

i like the mb157 the most because of its amazing energy retention and excelent turn rate, altough it doesn't carry much ammo (half of what it should have been) but it's twin 20mm cannons slaps anyways

"their collectively above gold in a tier of their own" yes i love japanese aircraft only thing i wish was better was top speed and survivability but if the zero had both then it would be way too op

Have you ever heard of the Spitfire… Oh wait it’s wings are fragile.

I am a low BR turn fighter Experten and I just love my I-16 and I-15, the main reasons I have been so slow to grind up the trees. Speed, acceleration, maneuverability, roll rate, combat flaps and those ShKAS miniguns make the I-16 my go-to plane for quick kills and fun game play. I love my Spitfire IX but the lack of combat flaps stop it from being a favourite, even if the overheating issues have been (mostly) worked out. I really liked the Friedrich (especially the F-4) but the low ammo count on the 20mm REALLY makes it a hard plane to get kills in, especially at its BR. Although I probably shouldn't like it I also love the P-39 - the armament is to die for and it has good speed, climb and dive rates and decent maneuverability, its thin wing prevents quick snap rolls but if you can get into a straight turn fight it rocks. Besides, I just love seeing targets literally explode when i hot them with the 37mm !

Thanks for not mentioning the hidden Italian gem, the Re.2005, very few people know good this thing is in a turn fight, as an Italian main, I've seen most people don't know how to approach the Re. Family, it lacks engine power but it compensates with the maneuverability and that's why I love Italian props, the fall a bit behind engine power wise but they compensate that with something else.

I-16 Type 27 best dogfighting plane by FAR

A6m3 zero its my favorite I am able with the a6m3 to eliminate the air threat for my team in mixed battles and if there is the opportunity to find very good opponents in the air, it is my second most used aircraft. The first is the bf109f4 in which I proclaim myself the star of war. thunder since I don't use many bullets to shutdown my target like the African star Hans-Joachim Marseille

Ki-43-I is basically a TIE Fighter. Its really maneuverable (13 sec turn time!) however it does kinda lack armor. Nonetheless, it still a fun plane.

I would say the Corsair at 5.7 sometimes I like to up to your myself to 7.3 and I have a blast

Been playing since 2013 got the 6 year decal and still feel like I got a lot to learn❤

I really like the Ta 152 H With some use of flaps it can turn pretty well

La-7, Jak-3 and Bf 109 G-2 for dofight. For multirole mission is my first choise Fw 190 A-5.

My two favorite turn fighters are the XF5F and the P-59A.

Not mentioning the I-153 or its premium version is a crime. Best Biplanes in the game hands down, I'll fight anything with 'em

H8K3. I'm not even kidding. That ship has the turn radius of a fighter. 5 20mms and 5 7.7s at that br is godmode

@whateverthisis389

That and the Yak-2 KABB. It's BR is low enough to still be fighting biplanes, and it's turnrate is better than even some fighters. Plus 2 20mms and 2 7.62mms and it is the perfect bonking machine.

Amazing expreience Yak 3/3p Moved from soviet to japan after rank iv Also good exprience with ki 43 and zero rank iii but took some time to learn to handle

Love my Italian piston planes! The Bf109 F4 event vehicle we got a while back is the love of my life....thank you for blessing me with your greatness almighty 🐌

My favorite to use when it comes to turn fight is the F4-U

I've purposely ace my crew for A6M3 mod 22 as it is my favorite aircraft then and is now.

i really like the f8f bearcat at rank 4.3-5.0 because it goes 350 knots and turn time of 20s and has bombs and rockets

Zeroes types all the way. Although it have a weak protection against high caliber bullets but it’s turn radius is exceptional in close in tight dogfights.

I really like the Zero and the I-16 along with the bf-109 e3.

I just love the i-16 type27 for no reason

Best turnfighter in a dogfight for me is always the Zero, you can have 3 enemies on me, but I'll still be able to defeat them, that's the power of 15 seconds turning-time.

"The Spitfire always has an altittude advantage over its opponents" Merlin engines when you go past 3000 meters: What 1300+ horsepower? What is power? Oh wait, I still need to keep the aircraft in the air? Oh I didnt know that, oh wait, my float carbuerator died-

the way one beats the Japanese airplanes in a dog fight is with the secret jo-star strategy, RUNNING AWAY!. (then come back at a higher altitude and swing at them again)

I like the Japanese aircraft, Ki-100-II is my fav. the emperor simpely has found the best tricks to manufacture the best aircraft. with the imperial honor, the medal above gold.

Ngl the SM.91 is my favourite dogfighter, if you use it correctly it's insanely good

It's sad we can't dogfight anymore in SB mixed battles due to airfield too close from the battle field.

How can I set it so that I don't have to hold down the button when zooming, but rather click it once to activate the zoom view and click it again to deactivate the zoom view.

All I-16s are still bugged on console. Any time you turn, you hit an invisible wall that forces you to stop turning and get a high chance to flat spin. But on PC doing the same thing, it flys like normal.

I believe the P-36s in the US tech tree are pretty good turnfighters. Especially with flaps.

Q: do you know the best tactic for PT-76B

My favorite plane for grinding USSR tech tree in aviation at br 4.7 is the Yak-9U.

My favourite plane to turnfight in is the Il-28sh. No one can outturn you if you have guns facing both ways.

The ki-100 has a special place in my heart. Actually all the army planes are above the zeros for me. I much prefer the armys 20mm cannon and 12mm mg over the ones the navy works with

I have master the art of dogfight with the barrier by adjusting it vtol you can make it do some crazy Manovers

Obviously it’s going to be the Spitfire or the A6M Zero

There is only one answer. The zero. More specifically the A6M3 since it also has a very good roll rate because of its clipped wings. I’m honestly surprised how many people are dumb enough to turnfight that thing. Edit: forgot to mention the amazing ballistics

Spitspark is always a dream to fly

My favorite is Spitfire MK Vc

What? No Typhoon in that list? It outruns most stuff at it's BR and out turns the rest, has decent climb rate as well. Energy retention is also pretty solid. Only con is the roll rate or the absence of it. Edit: And how did I forget about CW21, that under-tiered monster of a plane.

Episode 4 of asking Gajin for the Sea Harrier FA2 with AIM 7Ms in October.

Finally some love for the I-16! Hopefully this aircraft gets the attention it deserves. Not everyone can get such amazing APIT at such a low BR!

“Only the best of the best can even dare to challenge them in their domain” - A-36 armed with 10 12.7mm cannons shoots it down in 2 seconds at a speed of 650km/h.

A fama do I-16 entre os pilotos da Força Aérea Soviética na época que esse I-16 não era muito boa, que eles diziam "se vc consegue pilotar o I-16, vc pilota qualquer coisa." Pelo fato de ser difícil de pilotar.

Ta 152h1 my beloved dogfighter

The zero is great at dogfighting but it lacks speed and most ennemies I encounter just run away

Who needs a dogfighter when you can boom and zoom and not let them even use their best skill?

Spitfire LF : the speed of a Mustang and the turn of a Zero. Perfection

Why did u put the G55 and not the Re.2005. It's waay more maneuverable

Reggiane planes are very nice dogfighters as well as other Italians.

In my personal opinion the I-15 is the best dog fighter because that thing can turn on a dime

Everybody gangsta until the Re.2005 arrives

Of course my favourite, my dear, my darling, the Glorious Super Zero A7M. The A7M1 is almost like a Zero, but deadlier, faster And the A7M2 has bigger wingspan than A7M1, also in paper it has worse turn rate but in reality it's just the same GAIJIN! Please add the A7M3 and A7M3 Kai! Just imagine a 6x20mm Type 99 II and 6x30mm Type 5 in Kai variant shredding off planes like a cheese!!
