What do you think the easiest plane is to use?
Please be detailed in your answer. I personally think Miranda is due to the fact you can tele in some sense and do damage when you use what on a loopy would be your afterburner.

I think most people will say loopy is the easiest but I disagree so far from what i've heard. It is the most simple, but that does not mean its the easiest.

Please be detailed in your answer.

Thanks(:

They all have their own strengthes/weaknesses, and in different circumstances one plane is better to use than another. Overall I'd say loopy, but I've loopy'd all my life. It seems as if any nub with 300ping can do well with a double fire, which I suppose is what i base this off of.

Simple and easy are synonyms.

Simple- easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty
Easy- Achieved without great effort.

If it is simple, it is easy.

The loopy is the EASIEST and SIMPLEST plane to use. Miranda is the hardest.

And you said "people say loopy is easiest but I disagree from what I have heard"

If people say its easy, then that is what you have heard. So then you should say "I disagree because people said thats it's easy and i think it's not"

Reasoning on why Loopy is easy:
You have tracking missiles duh. You do not have to aim your primary fire at all. Just point it in the right directions and it will hit your enemy.

The loopy is also very fast so you can get out of trouble.

You have EMP which will reduce your enemies turning abilities. Press D then hold F. Not very hard at all.


The LOOPY is so simple. That is why its the first plane you get. Because it is easy to learn.

Miranda is the hardest because of so many things that I can not begin to explain. Explo is also hard because of how slow the missiles move but what ever. My point is that THE LOOPY IS AS EASY AS A DRUNK SLUT ON PROM NIGHT

EDIT: 3 people have posted. 3 votes have been called. The only person calling miranda is you I bet. If you are asking a question, why would you inflict your own opinions. Miranda is not easy.

Notice that bip isn't on his poll ^_^

9 : readily understood or performed <simple directions>


There is another definition to simple. What I meant was it is simple to understand. See how it says OR performed?

Sounds to me like you just don't like the Miranda. Have you unlocked it / tried playing with it?

The flaw with your argument is that you are using the fact you feel the Miranda warp is unfair (or overpowered) to argue that it's the easiest plane to use. This logical fallacy is a common problem with many new players. I'd recommend trying to play every plane and see how well you do with it. Try and get a few hundred kills with each and then come back and re-evaluate your own statement.

If you can do just as well with the Miranda as you can with a loopy or a bomber I'd be very shocked. Miranda has a lot of nuances and things to think about as you are playing it that don't come naturally based on the way we think of planes. Time anchor, especially, causes most new people to fly into walls or die miserably.

Explodet is up there in terms of difficulty to become good at because you have to learn how to aim very well. People can be "ok" with it by spamming off mines and shooting randomly but chances are they will be ineffective at actually playing defense.

Biplane, also, requires some aiming. It has been claimed to be the most underpowered plane of the game and has a hard time finding it's role. It can do lots of damage and decimate newbies in the hands of a pro - but most new players have a hard time getting the hang of it. It's not common that you think to press f and d at the same time or really grasp how you can use that effectively.

Bomber is one of the easiest in my eyes. Most players can easily just hold down f and fly at an opponent or circle at the top of the map pressing d. It doesn't require any fancy types of moves to really excel with it - and you don't really have to play close to your target at all. Hell you can even just fly in circles next to an opening in core and drop bombs or shoot through it (like most of the players I see do).

Loopy is also one of the easiest for the sole reason you don't have to aim. I can play demo loopy (tracker + rubber hull + turbo) and decimate people without really demonstrating any skill. Pressing and holding f and occasionally shooting off emp is not difficult. I'm not trying to put down the pros here - I just don't think it's a particular difficult plane to start with.

[Pieface]

I added Biplane to the poll. I personally find it the hardest to play, but maybe that's cause I only have like 300 lifetime kills with it. :\

Agreeing with mikesol here that the Loopy is by far the easiest plane to play without a lot of practice in my eyes, followed closely by the bomber. Simply getting used to the Miranda's alternative flying style takes quite a bit of work, not to mention the incredible number of deaths you'll get when trying to anchor.

[Evan20000]

I can't play anything but Miranda, so I find it the easiest. But bomber lets you idle at choke points and get free kills, so I guess outside my personal ineptitude, I'd say bomber.

[Ajuk999]

Well since, loopy is for the most part, the first plane people learn to use. That alone makes it more likely to be the "Easiest" plane.

ah york, always know what I'm gonna say

[DBrim]

I'd say that bomber is probably the easiest to pick up. Loopy second, biplane third. Whale/'Randa order depends on bouncy or hard walls.

u should write that one down

[Herodadotus]

Loopy is the easiest to learn, at least it was for me. Followed by bomber and then biplane.

[Kuja900]

The bomber is the easiest plane in the game to consistently do well with, it also has the lowest skill cap. This is more of a side note, but however once you get to a certain point all the planes become easy. Its then more of a matter of "Which plane can my skill have the greatest effect on my performance with?"

[as red as black]

I think Kuja meant to say....

any plane that is being used by a ball player. because ball requires no skill at all.

they are all pretty easy to use tbh

Goodness gracious me York!!

Actually i mostly agree but no need to put the guy down, when others make bold statements without justification you are very quick to put them right, however you do this yourself so expect similar treatment.

Once again York you are a class A tart, but i admit i do like you.

can't? What a load of tosh, I'll bet your illustrious leader would have something to say on that? Apparently there are only good players and bad players, so with a little practice sin.....

[Haxz]

The loopy is probably the easiest. You shout with double fire three times and boom! You have a kill. In my opinion the explodet is the hardest, just because of the main weapon. You just have to fire it just right.

[eth]

Well I think explodet is the most imba.. it has very thick armor, so if you shoot at it, the shots will bounce off the armor because it has very thick armor. So that's what I think. Also it's cool with armor on a plane because it's cool.

[tyr]

Randa is the easiest

1. Aim at opponent
2. Press F
3. Press up
4. ?????
5. profit
6. repeat

It was 4am, I was drunk, the screen was rotating and I still managed to pwn a lot.
See my rotaltitude challenge for more info

[Evan20000]

And I can blindly fly recoilless mashing F+D in a pub and go 3:1. Does that make it easy?

[Sarah Palin]

Well what do you mean by easy.

If you mean "easiest to fly and navigate" then loopy.

If you mean "easiest to score a ton of kills while not endangering yourself, yet also being of next to no help to your team" then bomber.

If you mean "easiest to learn all the plane has to offer in a weekend" then biplane (minus reverse heavy cannon).

If you mean "easiest to make Palin ragequit" then Miranda (</3 sinny)

[Evan20000]

I <3 you too.

[Sunaku]

Loopy.
Also known as "Hey, let's just shoot in that area and something will die, somehow". For more excitement, you can even close your eyes, not that it matters, really.
EMP is only if you're tired of playing with two hands.
Worst part ? I'm not exaggerating.
Loopy, dogfighting at its finest.

i play miranda with 1 hand when i'm feeling lazy

[Kuja900]

The bomber is the easiest plane to do well with (it also has the lowest skill cap), the loopy is the easiest plane to fly in general which is a moot point since all planes are easy to fly.

[Sarah Palin]

"lazy," sure

^ I think we just learned something about all randa players, here.

[Mandrad]

The Oldfart i am, has to disagree with all of you. i find'em all damn hard. The wall bellow my desk would prove it, for i kick it so many times when evading people that is going black (was white when i bought my house 1 year ago)... i also bite myself A LOT, do all scary faces, and im on my 3rd keyboard since i started playing our awesome game (first 2 mac black keyboars got cursor key broken in half, the 3rd one, the one i now use, a silver keyboard, has left cursor key half dead). Ive managed to unplug my computer cord once with a very neat kick

I agree that loopy is by far the easiest to maneuver.
Randa is impossible for me to fly with. I just dont know how you do it!!! I get brain pains when i try it. No emoticon can express it...
As it is impossible for me, and most of best killers and effective runners use it, i get to consider them the best players (wich isnt factual), so, just nerf'em... please?

[mlopes]

No aim needed for main weapon, can cripple enemies in a touch of a button. Main weapon can spam, a lot. It's fast and easy to get off stall. And the main indicator that it is easy... all n00bs use it.

I don't think I need to name it!

1)You do have to aim; the shots wont do a 180
2)any plane can criple an enemy by pressing F
3)Any plane can spam
4)So is the miranda
6)Wolfe and eth are so noob; its true

jsut stfu, u dont know what ur talking about

[mlopes]

You can do a 160º and start spamming, the tracker will do the remaining 20º.

No they can't, they can reduce your health but there is only one plane that can reduce your mobility. And not even that plane will do it with it's primary weapon

thus the "a lot"

Yep, that's true, though the previous 3 don't apply to miranda

[Sarah Palin]

That's like saying whale is easy because remote mine can score a one shot kill. True but you still have to have the skill to set up those kills.

Loopy EMP and Acid can cripple a plane but the effects are temporary. The skill comes in setting up an EMP or Acid in a way that you can ensure you or someone else can finish the job.

Loopy is the support plane and we primarily help our team by "setting up" the kill.

You can tell most of the people trash talking loopy are bad loopy players because they fixate on how OP the primary weapon supposedly is.

I would trade in tracking in a heartbeat for an EMP that lasts a few milliseconds longer.

I loled at the 3rd person tone of this post.

[DMCM]

Loopy is the easiest plane simply for the fact that any noob can get a ton of kills just by holding F, especially if they EMP the target first. The skill ceiling is a whole other story, but loopy is still the easiest.

That's true, and most noobs don't even use EMP regularly, and yet they manage to score some kills. Put a biplane or an explodet on their hands and see what happens. When I first started playing, I hated biplane, I couldn't seem to do anything with that, and now is my favorite plane. When I first tried the explodet I had not even realized how the missiles work, so I was just frustrated to see them go trough the opponents without doing any damage. I won't even talk about miranda as I still can't fly the damn thing.

Bomber it's easy too, but it's harder to aim... and you have to aim, go figure. And it's slower which makes for less crashes but it's harder for the noob to escape when someone is on to you.

I think this "easiest plane" thing only applies to when you're new to altitude cause as time passes, you learn and (almost) all planes become easier.

[Zombi]

Loopy with tracker/double and bomber with bombs/suppressor are the easiest planes (acid and flak require higher skills)

Just my two cents

Yep, I haven't said it yet but I'm only speaking of EMP loopy setups, acid is a completely different story.

[Stormich]

Bomber is the easiest to get good with, loopy is the easiest to be annoying with. There are no good noob loopies, they get kills here and there which doesn't make them good. Bombers on the other hand get good fast and even if they are bad compared to the veterans they're not useless like with a loopy. One of the reasons why I always try to make noob players on ladder play bomber.
