5 Favourite Planes

[Lightning Guy]

I was trying to cut to that chase. I thought I did a good job of providing some basic info on the plane.

Yes, it WAS good. I'm just saying mine would have been better IMNSHO.
Although yours was good, it doesn't have the fact NO ONE except for me knows! (tee-hee-hee)

I'm sure someone else in the world knows it. So, why the hell does it say in this ancient book I've dug up does it say that the Fw-190D-9 was redesignated the Ta152, is the book crap and unreliable or did that actually happen. AND, was the Jg7 the first group to get the Bf-110?

I bet someone IN THE WORLD knows it, but NO ONE on this site. The Jg7 and Bf110 thing is beyond my knowledge and yes, the book is straight crap.

the top pic's a good one, and i always thought the dora was ugly..............

The D-9 wasn't that bad, but the Ta-152 had such a long nose and wings that it began to look comical. I also imagine it must have lost a lot of the dogfighting ability that made the 190 so deadly.

i like em all

 

[cheddar cheese]

and me 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but the stats of the 152 are very impressive....................

 

[cheddar cheese]

extremely 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not only are they impressive for a piston engined fighter, that'd be impressive for a jet................

 

[cheddar cheese]

yup, a higher speed and ceiling than the meteor

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

well, that's because the Meteor sucked balls unlike the P-80 and '262...

 

[Lightning Guy]

But the Ta-152 was strickly and interceptor. In a dogfight, the 190s best attribute was its insanely high rate of role and the added span of the 152 must have killed that.

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

yes, it does. (I say this through virtual experience) It's nothing like the Gustav, Friederich, Kurfurst, and Dora-9 even! It DOES, however, have lotsa lift like the Mustang!

 

[Lightning Guy]

That's what you get from those extra long wings.

 

[plan_D]

That'd be the idea of them.
So, the Dora-9 was just a different engined 190. Jg7 was the first to get the Bf-110, I got it from a few other sources as well.
