What is the most maneuverable fighter at low altitudes?

I am just interested in peoples' opinions--just curious.

I suggest the Yak-3, which I have been flying lately.

me-163 is pretty quick at higher speeds. i think spit fires are great too

Me-163 is an excellent Low Altitude High speed Performer and I can outturn and out gun several aircraft online.And that smoke/Exhaust will blind any aircraft on your 6.

My suggestion is Bf-109 F4.

i like the latest tempest, i think it feels good and has a good number of cannons.
F-86 is a really fast rolling plane, turn rate is good

For my low altitude, i use the zero, looks cool plus to me its the best at low altitude, i love that thing

yeah the zero looks cool alright, when it's burning from the shot of a spitfire's cannon

If we're really just talking about maneuverability, I'd rather think that the I-16 will be on pole, at least in the way it's implemented in IL-2.

I have never flown one and never will because they are close enough to cheating, they are just too good.

[KG64_Cnopicilin]

I-16 or I-153.

[Fisneaky]

I-153 can turn on a rubel.

[nzwilliam]

The gladiator will out turn...well...pretty much everything really.

Ki27 and A5m are extremely maneuverable and are often under estimated too.

[RadPig94]

if i said a swordfish you guys know i'd be lying


i think the IL-2 actually feels great for multitasking, i just wish the gunner had a better aim

[Guest]

The one that avoids the most flak...

[psychobob]

The I-153 hands down. It's a go-cart with wings and a prop.

Probably in real life too. On the Yesterday channel I saw a bit about the I-16 in the Flying Tigers documentary. Russian pilots took part in the Chinese civil war for a short period since Japan was an old enemy. They included footage of two I-16's in formation, one of which performed a very quick flick roll. Maybe not the greatest fighter ever made, but very agile nonetheless.
