As the original author to the first "Quick Guide to Premium Aircraft," I thought it was time to update the project to this post-2.0 era. However, as opposed to going back to that thread and sifting through all those posts and all on my own, I have come to you, the Community, for help.
Here's my proposal,
Starting with the tier VIII Premiums that you own, let's put our collective knowledge together and share our thoughts about these aircraft. Copy the text between the dotted lines and fill in the blanks as you see fit (some are multiple choice format too).

After that is done, copy and paste that back here and as a group, we will discuss the submissions for a final post. All submissions will receive a player contributor credit at the bottom of the post, once it has been entered on the new "Ver. 2" thread. Below is an incomplete sample of what the final, published entry could look like.
Tier IV Messerschmitt Bf 110C-6 Sale/Full price 575/1150 Gold
Skill Level: Novice to Moderate.
Availability: Common
Flies like: A tier IV Bf 110
Fights like: A tier VI Me 410

Appropriate to Nation: Yes
Pros:
- The best firepower in Tier IV (the next aircraft to get a 30 mm cannon is the Me 410, at tier VI).
- Nearly as fast as it's fully upgraded tech tree counterparts (rated at 473, the Tier IV Bf 110B is rated at 512 with the top engine).
- Good optimum operational altitude at 1500m, and aircraft retains good control ability above 3000m.

The mounted 7.92 mm MG-17 (1940) is shared with the Alpha Tester Gift German Heavy Fighter; Messerschmitt Me 210. The 30 mm MK-101 is unique to this aircraft.

Once again, I would like to start with all of the current tier VIII Premiums and slowly work our way down to tier II. What do you say, want to help out?
