All of them were good dive bombers, and it is hard to determion which was the best. The Val was not, so we can rule that one out. I kinda want the SBD to be better, but both the SBD and Stuka were very good dive bombers.

And YOU understand that you are being a jerk. Yes, I am 12, but if people really want to know that, they can go to my profile. I am a lot smarter then you think, and while not as smart as the people on this site, about 60% smarter then people my age. You are acting like the bullies at my old...

I knew Scouting by Douglass wasn't right! It just doesn't sound right! And when I said the Scouting by Douglass part, I didn't mean that's what it meant, I meant that's what I heard and didn't know if it was right.

I read the reason the Stuka was so vunerable was because of its speed. However, some of you more experienced and know more about the Stuka would know

But as best dive bomber, I would have to go with the SBD. It had decent speed (255 mph) decent weapons for pilot (2x.50 caliber machine guns) and rear seat gunner (2x.30 caliber machine guns). It also had a decent bomb load, (500 pounds to 1000 pounds) and was double purposed (Scout Plane/Dive...

I heard the story about Sakai. It blinded him in one eye, didn't it? Also, wasn't that over Guadelcanal? I heard he came up behind the formation of SBDs as they were returning to their carrier, thinking they were Wildcats, like you said. One of the rear seat gunners shot him, and one of the...

Thanks, I didn't know that.

I would take the Hellcat, simply for ruggedness. I would fight a fast beauty in a slow, tough, and ugly plane then veasa versa. The bottom line is both were great planes and great in their different situations. Also, would a army Hellcat have more armor (can be heavier, it has more runway) or...

Good point. At high alltitudes, P-47, mid to low alltitudes, F6F. Both were very tough and had very good firepower.

Sarcasm, correct? I can't always tell here :)

But a head on attack isn't a dogfight, is it? And BTW you are the first person to do CV-6 THANK YOU

I agree

Yes, that was when I was dealing with favoritism instead of facts

Just saying this, F-47 doesn't sound as cool as P-47 Also you make a good point. Also, Vought is spelled V-o-u-g-h-t. Don't worry about it, not a word that's gonna be on a spelling test :)

I don't think until Korea. Not sure but pretty sure not in WW2
