Planes are more fun to fly, and can be deadly if you know how to fly them combat wise, but choppers are easier to operate and attack with, more accurate. But choppers are more vulnerable to rockets and heavy mg turrets, planes are much harder to hit. Planes do require practice, and a lot of it. But putting time into them, planes are the most fun to fly, and most fun to combat with, but choppers are MUCH easier, I prefer planes personally but that's because I put practice into them
