I think I see a definite German bias there.  Nice stable.

well, I'll be the first to say it.   He's a human aimbot

OK I can now present a top 10 I'm more happy with:

 

Out with Il-2 (m), Beaufighter and I-207/4.

In with Tornado, Vampire and I-220

 

Along the way I've reworked my Equipment setup on these 3 & a bunch of others, overall winrate is up something like 0.3%, its been pretty fun.

Yes.  You were most unpleasant to me and my little bomber the other night.  I think in the 1-220

 

[hoom]

Yeah I've got the I-220 really humming

 

I thought it was awesome when I was just using stock Equipment, then I got stuff to fully Calibrated Ultimate & it was even better but got a bit fragile so I mostly stopped playing it for a decent while.

 

Now I've reworked it significantly: a different spec (was Polished Skin + Lightweight Power Unit + Uprated Engine, now Lightweight Wing + Uprated Engine + Boost Injection), all Special Project gear except the Gunsight & upgraded to Advanced with a bunch of Rebuilds to optimise bonuses.

Much faster, slightly more agile, hits harder and a lot more sturdy now

808km/h boost, even the 820 in a minimal dive, Cooling bottle sprints are amazing 

I used to be impressed when I got it up a bit over 700km/h in boosts

Thanks, I was too lazy to post them to imgur and get it working here.  It would be nice if the devs here took their hats off and went to the Ships dev team and asked for some ideas.  Their forums don't require third party image hosting services, for one.  Another would be the naval base for clans.  The bonuses that you get aren't huge, but they're nice to have.  Another would be the clan naval battles.  Even small clans can compete by meeting the goals and getting bonus rewards, provided you can beat the clan you're matched up against.

 

Are they clan wars?  No, but it's something.  I don't agree with a lot of the crap the ships devs come up with, but at least they are innovating and occasionally get it right.

We can only dream about that level of competence.

Yeah I figured it out later to add my wings to my sig.  When I posted the 10 planes, my eyes rolled back in my head when it didn't work and I gave it a big "whatever" and just left the link if anyone cared.

[hoom]

Fair enough.

[hoom]

Vampire has now become my most played thanks to spamming it during my current 7 days Premium.

Tu-1 has unseated my Beta plane.

Some other movement also.

 

Quite a change since July

Mine has, strangely, not changed all that much. I've mostly been flying new planes since July. They're starting to catch up in hours logged to the top 10 list so I may soon see a lot of movement and change.

 

[InfiniZ3ro]

Here is mine as of today.  I don't have a lot of planes over T5.  And only 4 over T6.

I feel that this thread could do with a revival/necro.

 

Here's my current top 10:

 

Commentary

Spoiler

The need for spamming high-tier Premiums for Silver earnings has been high -> top 2.

 

But I haven't spent much time flying the other favourites, mostly have been working on grinding the rest of the Trees (complete) and then Specialising my keeper planes (mostly complete) so there hasn't been a huge amount of movement in a lot of these.

 

I've been thinking I should kick that Blenheim out of the Top 10, easy enough to get the La-9 & I-220 above it but the next several down the line are planes I've kicked out of my Top 10 & don't really want back in.

 

I've been thinking I should get more Heavies & some German/Japanese representation.

Ki-102 needs about 11.5hrs flying, 109 E something over 12hrs.

 

But I should really get at least one T10 up in there too, I've been thinking maybe kill two birds there with a German T10.

Problem with that is my most played German T10 is EF 131 on 6h 22 played.

Specialising EF 131 will take me a good 10h more at least but I don't know if I can handle 20+ h of Bombering even if the EF 131 is relatively fun for a Bomber.

Me P.1101 was a lot of fun to Specialise & I could see myself playing it regularly but its at 5h 29 played so a loooong 23.5h of play to get it up to Top 10.

Me 262 HGIII would tick all 3 boxes but its currently under 2h played & I haven't found it especially fun so far.

The biggest shame here is the Su-10. I wasn't kidding when I said I'd been crutching my way through period III. The stats for the Pfeil, BVP.215.02, 190D, 212.02 and Emil are all really, really old stats from a time before high tier bombers were a thing.

[trikke]

dammit      effing imgur

let me try again

 

eff it      i'm struggling today      https://imgur.com/a/sStV8RZ

 

edit:   nothing much to see, really     i fly all the meme planes in mid-tier, and by that i mean heavies  

 

except my two highest are low-tier heavies     110B and the P.38 Wilk

Trikke, you need to change https to http for the img tag

 

 

I actually Spec'd a few of these planes because they're so difficult/frustrating to use.  And being difficult to use, they required more flying time than usual.  VB 10 only gets this much flying time because I use it for event modes.  Ju 86 E is a plane I can fly when the internet is bad.  Most of these planes I haven't used much in the past year.

got quite a bit more planes and hours now, including multiple T10's, but the top 2 are still the top 2.
