5 Favourite Planes

[Maestro]

Here is my list (it never changed) :

1 - Spitfire Mk. IX
2 - Spitfire Mk. XIV
3 - Hurricane (any Mark)
4 - Mustang III
5 - Tempest V

 

[toffi]

1) Supermarine Spitfire Mk. V
2) Messerschmitt Bf 109E-7
3) PZL P.11c
4) Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV
5) Vickers Wellington

 

[Maestro]

1) Supermarine Spitfire Mk. V

Spitfire Mk. V ? I would understand the Mk. IX, Mk. VIII, Mk. XIV or Mk. XVIII.

But the Mk. V ? It was outclassed by the Focke-Wulf 190 ! (That's why they produced the Mk. IX.)

 

[toffi]

All of the planes I've listed were outclassed by some other. But these are my favourites.

Maestro, like toffi says, I reckon this is a "favorite plane" list, not a "I think this is the best plane" list... You can't really argue with people's choices...

But I like yours... wish I had room for the Tempest in my list

 

[Lightning Guy]

Toffi must be awefully sentimental. Those are some pretty old planes on his list (even by 1945 standards).

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i think we should limit choices to just one mark of any chosen plane, that way more variety can be put in, agreed??

 

[Lightning Guy]

Yeah, but that also limits the number of planes you can choose. I think limiting that to just 5 is hard enough already.

 

[plan_D]

That is true. I want the Mustang III on there as well or the P-47N but being only 5 I had to give way. So we'll keep any mark, or all marks available.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Yeah, but that also limits the number of planes you can choose

no it doesn't, if anything it frees up a space on your list.....................

 

[Lightning Guy]

How does that free up space? Saying (for example)
1. Spit XIV
2. Spit IX

takes up more space than saying
1. Spit (any mark)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that's what i mean, if you say

1) spitfire (any mark)

insted of

1) spitfire XIV
2) spitfire IV

then you have an extra space for another plane...............

 

[plan_D]

Just let them have the choice. They might not want another plane, and need to use up the five slots.

1-Spitfire Mk. I
2-Mk. IIb
3-Mk.IV (First Griffon engined Spitfire)
4-Mk. XIVe
5-Mk.XVIIIc

That isn't my proper one. The other one is.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Mk.IV (First Griffon engined Spitfire)

i thought that was the XIV...............

 

[plan_D]

No. The Mk. IV was an experimental Spitfire with the Griffon engine.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

wow, never knew that...............

 

[plan_D]

You learn something everyday. Even though that's not true, but there you go.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[plan_D]

Knew what!?!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that the IV didn't have griffon..................
